Any company should bend over backwards to ensure the good health of their employees, not work them to an early grave by making them terrified to take time off for hospital appointments.
(non-Labour) source inside the meeting implying Corbyn was "pushed into" accepting that noconf motion needed to be put to one side and focus on legislative solutions.
Told me focus will be on "something like" Cooper-Letwin. But first they must take control of the order paper...
Source suggested meeting agreed on two obvious opportunities.
1.) Northern Ireland Statement on 9th September.
2.) SO24 in first week of September.
Fireworks, fireworks, fireworks.
Said the spirit of the meeting was good, "much better than expected."
NEW - I understand Corbyn opened meeting with party leaders and MPs saying he would prioritise legislation to stop no deal. Efforts will focus on passing bills, forcing publication of documents and stopping prorogation. Also agreement that parliament must oppose conference recess
