THE LEADER of the Unite trade union accused Labour today of looking like an uninspiring team of “middle managers” while Britain faces a “tsunami of redundancies” and its worst recession since the 1930s.

General secretary Len McCluskey said that the Labour leadership elected earlier this year had shown an “element of timidity” and “fear” in failing to set out the party’s position on the economy. 

Up to 3.5 million redundancies are expected due to the coronavirus crisis.
