Labour leadership challenge complete distraction says UNISON chief

UNISON General Secretary, Dave Prentis, today slammed a

challenge for Leader of the Labour Party as a “complete

distraction” from Labour’s third term agenda.

He said:

“Talk of a leadership challenge and stalking horses is a complete

and utter distraction from the programme of business for Labour’s

third term. What we should all be concentrating on at the

beginning of this historic third term is how we make life better for

ordinary hard-working people.

“We have an agenda based on delivery of the Warwick

commitments and we should be getting on with that and not

indulging in gesture politics.”
