Usdaw NEC member slapped down over Corbyn threat claim
SHOPWORKERS’ union Usdaw distanced itself from executive member John Barstow yesterday after he warned that Jeremy Corbyn was “an issue of concern for national security.”
Sussex-based Mr Barstow said the Labour leadership frontrunner should be opposed for being “equivocal on IRA terrorism” and a threat to “market confidence.”
“To Usdaw, support for the integrity of our United Kingdom and support for HM Forces are non-negotiable qualifications for holding office under Her Majesty,” he wrote in a letter to the Financial Times.
