In June this year, Frances O’Grady spoke at an event at Manton Sports Club, on the site of the old Nottinghamshire colliery.
Her decade-long career as General Secretary of the TUC – from which she will shortly retire – has had her address meetings anywhere from the stage at Wembley Arena to the most remote of working men’s clubs.
In Manton, O’Grady was, as always, passionate, thoughtful, convincing – and took time to listen to individual members of the audience, arriving back in London late into the night.
