Jonathan Ashworth, the party’s health spokesman, and transport and employment spokesmen, Louise Haigh and Justin Madders, were on the three-day junket. Its purpose was to ‘meet members of the Spanish government to discuss employment rights and trade union reforms’, according to the newspaper.
A Labour spokesman said: ‘These members of the Shadow Cabinet... met with the Spanish government discussing their plans for government and measures to tackle inequality.’
A TUC spokesman said that the delegation had focused on workers’ rights.
Earlier this summer Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer enjoyed a holiday with his family in Soller.

Nice little jolly . Well as the U.K. is no longer in the European Union. Then top tier regulations is null in void . Harmonisation in these areas between Spain, U.K. or any other European Union states has never existed any way. Inequality is relative to economic size and wealth particularly unemployment levels. And just this morning the good Sir. Has dismissed any U.K. return to the European Union or single market, stating no economic benefits in doing so. Maybe that damascene moment emanated from this fact finding visit. But his views change with the media cycle so who knows.
