Billy Hayes, leader of the CWU, the union that represents post office workers, is in danger of losing his job. There is a hotly contested election in which Hayes is being challenged by his deputy, Dave Ward, who is running on a platform of “no more blind loyalty to Labour”.

Hayes has the backing of two famous names: Ken Livingstone, who clashed publicly with every Labour leader from Neil Kinnock to Gordon Brown; and Vanessa Redgrave, who was far too left wing for the party. When Ed Miliband proposed to alter Labour’s relationship with the trade unions in 2013, the first union leader to attack his proposals was Billy Hayes. This is “blind loyalty”.
