Labour ‘has lost core values’

Dave Ward stands by his claim that Blairites are "a virus" in the Labour Party.

The Labour party “has lost core values and promotes market competition”, said Dave Ward, deputy general secretary of the Communication Workers’ Union.

Mr Ward stood by his controversial claim that Blairites were "a virus" in the Labour Party.
