A LABOUR government will put the interests of workers and taxpayers ahead of shareholders, Jeremy Corbyn said on Saturday as he set out his “bold and ambitious” vision for the economy.

Speaking at Labour’s New Economy conference, he said the party will break with the present “failed economic orthodoxy” and “create an economy that works for all, not just the few.”

“We want to see a genuinely mixed economy of public and social enterprise, alongside a private sector with a long-term private business commitment, that will provide the decent pay, jobs, housing, schools, health and social care of the future,” said Mr Corbyn.
