Ed Miliband should reject Blair’s support
Responding to Tony Blair’s speech today, Left Unity’s Salman Shaheen said:
“Ed Miliband says Labour has changed. He says Britain should not have invaded Iraq and that New Labour was too lax on regulating the City. Will he then reject the support of multi-millionaire war criminal Tony Blair?
“Like many others, I grew up in a Labour-voting household but could not vote Labour after the Iraq War. We never abandoned Labour, Labour abandoned us.
“If Miliband wants to re-connect with Labour’s base, it’s time to ditch the toxic legacy of Tony Blair.”
