'The New Statesman has published the text of an open letter Liz Kendall, the Labour leadership contender, has written to trade unionists. Here’s an excerpt.

Trade unions helped found the Labour Party, and if I am elected as leader that link will never be broken. On the contrary, I want to strengthen your relationship with the Labour Party so I will not tolerate those inside or outside our movement who want to put that relationship at risk.'

I'm backing Liz.
