“Sir Keir Starmer is ‘bereft of vision’ and needs to let voters know what he stands for, Unite General Secretary Len McCluskey has told the BBC…

[Len McCluskey] was speaking to the BBC at the launch of his autobiography, Always Red. The launch party, in a room above a Westminster pub, was packed with leading figures from the Labour left, including former shadow chancellor John McDonnell and ex-communications chief Seumas Milne.

Mr Corbyn gave a speech praising Mr McCluskey’s leadership of Unite – and for his ‘support and friendship during some very difficult times’, particularly during the failed ‘coup’ against him in 2016.”
