Union boss Len McCluskey is secretly recruiting Labour MPs to form a breakaway “workers’ party”.
[Red Len — leader of the 1.4million-strong Unite group — claims 15 rebels are ready to jump ship if Ed Miliband loses the next election. Insiders say he has a £6million war-chest for the far-Left group which he wants to be “UKIP of the Left” - attracting working-class voters fed up with Labour. But officials fear he harks back to the days of Militant Tendency which he supported in the 1980s. Ex-council chief Derek Hatton — who took Liverpool to the brink of bankruptcy then — has met him several times recently. One said: “He’s hellbent on driving the final nail into the New Labour coffin. He believes there are 15 MPs prepared to defect. That could rise to 30.” Mr McCluskey declined to comment. ] From Sun +Online http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage...ies-party.html |
