Ken Livingstone: Miliband says the union link is here to stay

Speaking on his LBC radio show this morning, Ken Livingstone said:

“Ed Miliband phoned me yesterday evening, and he briefed me on what he’s doing – he has not the slightest intention of breaking the trade union link.”

“I had a text from his office saying that the news Ed will end the union link is total nonsense and emphatically not his view or our line.”
