"Workers Uniting group didn’t like my article in Tribune, and have taken particular offence at my use of the term ‘more right-wing’. They also say they’re not having a hustings meeting. The ‘ more right-wing’ tag wasn’t perfect I admit but then no label ever is and I doubt any label I might use for them would be above criticism. Note that I said ‘more right-wing’ not ‘right wing’. As for the meeting, well, candidates are turning up, so is it a hustings or not? Decide for yourselves."
Answer to Rene :-) Using phrases such as "more right wing" was bound to attract criticism! It was far from "perfect" and untrue!
Workers Uniting Group is a broad based left-progressive organisation within Unite the Union. We are happy for you to use this in any future references.
This weekend's meeting is most definitely not a hustings - there are no "set questions", no votes, no door policy - all Unite members can attend this meeting the details of which were publicly posted on this website.
