Frances O'Grady

I want a society that provides decent jobs for those who can work and decent security for those can't.

Would I describe myself as new Labour? I'm Labour, organised Labour. I think labels have a limited use and that's where you really get into boy stuff sometimes, just sticking on labels.

There is nothing that says unions have a God-given right to be there. We have to work at it and make ourselves relevant to every section of the workforce.

It's going to be a rule, I think, for wearing a crash hat, and I actually fractured my skull through not wearing a hat. I was so lucky to escape from that, and now, it's something I always do.

Real victories are those that protect human life, not those that result from its destruction or emerge from its ashes.

I am thrilled to get the chance to write comics - and to tell Forgotten Realms tales, to boot!
