No. 110 Arthur Scargill made one good point this week when he demanded that Wilson and Healey should be removed from the leadership of the Labour Party. Wilson, supported by the Murrays and Joneses of the TUC, has now set the working class and the labour movement on the road to disaster.
Under cover of 'economic catastrophe" and 'the danger of coalition' they are undertaking the greatest attacks on the working class since the 1930s. They will reap the whirlwind in the greatest Labour electoral disaster since 1931. The most important question facing the working class is how to prevent Wilson, his policies, and his supporters from dragging down the rest of the labour movement with him.

A few Labour MPs will vote against the measures but refuse to clearly take up the issue of the Wilson leadership.
