Ed Miliband has set Labour on a path towards "destruction" and "certain election defeat", the head of the UK's biggest union has warned the party.

Mr McCluskey rejected the argument that pay restraint would help create jobs and he criticised Labour for its failure to consult with trade unions before making the "shift" in policy.

At a meeting of the Parliamentary Labour Party on Monday night, Mr Miliband again defended his stance on public sector pay and said other shadow cabinet ministers would also have to take tough decisions to deliver public services with less money.
He also told his MPs he had "the stomach for the fight".

It seems hes upset that the labour party are not doing what he wants. Next will come the threats of "having to reconsider the funding we give the labour party"


Its not his stomach but his back he needs to worry about.

So, at the next General Election, which flavour of Conservatism do you want?

Well, we’ve seen the end of Labour as anything that purports to support the working people of the country. They’ve lurched further to the right under Miliband, and can easily have the terms “class traitors” applied now.

Can the labour party really be class traitors when they have openly sworn to make Britain a classless society?

Regardless of what Ed Milliband's ambitions for the country are, public statements like this aren't getting him anywhere nearer being elected. If I was at all cynical, I might suggest he didn't know about this until he it in read the papers and this is Ed Balls getting his own back for not winning the leadership election. After all, if Labour get battered in the next election, it'll be Milliband who gets in neck, not Balls.

(note: It is almost impossible to present any kind of comment on anything the shadow chancellor says without it ending up as some kind of double-entendre at some point)
