The Sunday Mirror carried a stirring article this week on “the brave women who battled to keep Britain’s coal mines open” – including an interview with the TUSC candidate in last May’s election for the Mayor of Doncaster.

Mary Jackson, who polled over 1,900 votes in the Mayoral contest (see https://www.tusc.org.uk/press030513a.php ), is quoted in the Mirror explaining how “the strike introduced me to politics and changed who I was for ever”.
