COMMUNICATION Workers Union leader Dave Ward pledged full support for Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn in the face of relentless attacks today.

“The right of Labour are considering a new party and are likely to announce it soon for maximum impact before Labour conference,” said Mr Ward whose union is one of Labour’s largest.

“It will be made up of the same people who never stood up for working people, never changed society and will never have the bottle to challenge the growing concentration of power and wealth in the UK, Europe and the world.”
