mj.scuba Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Ed Milliband has ditched a promise to attend a protest rally against the coalition's cuts in Westminster tomorrow despite pledging during his leadership campaign to take part in the union-led campaign on the eve of the government's spending review. Thousands of representatives from unions and civil society groups will descend on Westminster tomorrow to attend a rally opposing the cuts and a mass lobby of MPs as the chancellor prepares to announce how he will wipe £83bn form the public spending bill by 2014-5. In the last major hustings of the Labour leadership contest Miliband – along with every other candidate apart from his brother David – promised to attend the event, saying: "I'll attend the rally, definitely." His subsequent victory shone a light on his relationship with the unions after their votes proved crucial in securing his win over his brother, exposing him to accusations that he is now in hock to them. What a right old mess Red Ed finds himself in. Go to the rally and he's giving succor to his critics and living up to his Red Ed nickname. Don't go and he's going back on his word and biting the hand that feeds him. Poor old Red Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worjackie Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Give Ed Milliband a break! It can't be easy being Bob Crow's sock puppet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Prime Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Give Ed Milliband a break! It can't be easy being Bob Crow's sock puppet. You are aware Crow is not a Labour Party member and the RMT is not an affiliated union? There is no Red Ed nickname either. A daft tabloid like the Daily Mail calling him that is not the same as the universally used 'Sunny Jim' or 'Iron Lady'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
