Scottish Labour leader Jim Murphy launched a broadside attack on Unite boss Len McCluskey as he has said he will quit, despite surviving a vote of no confidence.
It comes after a series of calls for him to resign following the party's near wipeout in Scotland at the general election.
Jim Murphy faces a potential vote of no confidence as the future of Scottish Labour leader will be the subject of debate at a meeting of the party's executive today. It comes after a series of calls for him to resign following the party's near wipeout in Scotland at the general election.
Party members are said to be split on Mr Murphy's future, with senior MPs and MSPs publicly defending the recently-ousted East Renfrewshire MP, insisting Labour's problems pre-date his appointment as leader and were too deeply entrenched to turn around in a few months. But trade union members, many of whom backed left-wing candidate Neil Findlay in the leadership contest last year, have urged Mr Murphy to go.
