He urged people to “get out on the streets” to spread the party’s ‘for the many and not the few’ message.

Mr McDonnell said: “We need people doing everything they can to ensure the election comes as early as possible.”

He said: “What we need now is the TUC mobilised, every union mobilised, get out on the streets.
