Tony Blair and Lord Owen praise Labour leader's union link attack
Gloating lord who tried to destroy the party donates 'over £7,500' in celebration

Avowed enemies of socialism Tony Blair and Lord Owen heaped praise on Labour leader Ed Miliband at the weekend for attacking the party’s trade union link.

Lord Owen was so delighted at Mr Miliband’s rushed and dangerous party rule changes that he donated “over £7,500” to the Labour Party.
