Ian Lavery clashes with Paul Mason after journalist calls for Labour to sack staff

LABOUR Party chairman Ian Lavery clashed yesterday with journalist Paul Mason who called for party staffers to be sacked over the European election results.
Mr Mason accused Labour’s head of communications Seumas Milne, chief of staff Karie Murphy and Mr Lavery of creating a “fiasco” of the European Parliament elections.
Labour received 14 per cent of the vote and lost 10 MEPs.
