Union activists are the flesh and blood of the Labour Party‏

Kevin Maguire, writing in this week's Tribune, calls on Labour leadership to raise its game and says that 'union activists... are the flesh and blood of the Labour Party'. He assesses the political situation ahead of the General Election, noting the early returns' for the Murdoch empire of declaring for the Tories, and concludes that Labour leaders who fail to pull their weight deserve to pay the price of losing.
