Gordon Brown will be told by one of Britain’s biggest unions today that Labour must stop wasting time in
“childish venom”.
In the clearest warning that the e-mails smear scandal is now damaging his links with the union
movement, Mr Brown will be told by the leader of the Unison public-sector union that its patience is
running out.
Dave Prentis, the general secretary, will say: “The Government is losing us. It is losing the support and
trust of health and public sector workers in their droves.” The country was in a mess and “we look to the
Government to come up with serious solutions, not to waste time in childish venom”.
Mr Prentis will argue that Labour has a last chance in Wednesday’s Budget to show that it understands
why it was elected. It must use the power it has left to deliver a package that shifts the scales away from
the rich.
He calls on Labour to draw a line under “recent scandals and petty point-scoring and show a united,
determined effort to work to the people’s agenda. That means help for the jobless, supporting the
economy and strengthening public services that people rely on”.
The intervention from the leader of a union representing 1.3 million workers comes as Labour tries to
prevent the crisis caused by the disclosure of Damian McBride’s e-mails continuing into another week
and moving closer to the Prime Minister. Weekend polls suggested the crisis had heavily hit Labour’s
standings.
A senior Cabinet minister went to the aid of Ed Balls, the Schools Secretary and long-time ally of Mr
Brown, after allegations that he had used Mr McBride to further his own ambitions, and used his
chairmanship of a weekly strategy and communications meeting in Number 10 to strengthen his own
power base. Mr Balls called the claims “completely fabricated and malevolent nonsense”.
Liam Byrne, the Cabinet Office Minister who chairs the meetings with Mr Balls, called them “inaccurate,
nonsensical and pretty offensive”.
He added: “In all the months I’ve worked closely with Ed, I’ve only ever seen him totally, professionally
focused on helping build a better country. He is a first-rate colleague to work with, he’s superb at his
job, and that’s why the Opposition fear him.”
It also emerged that the meeting, which considers Downing Street communications, presentation, policy
and strategy, is attended by civil servants, including Jeremy Heywood, the Number 10 Permanent
Secretary. One insider said: “I doubt if anyone was thinking of furthering their leadership ambitions; they
would hardly do it in that setting.”
Even so, Mr Byrne’s intervention showed the huge level of concern in the high command.
Ray Collins, Labour’s General Secretary, admitted that he had been at a meeting with Mr McBride to
discuss online digital campaigning, although he denied that he had played a central role in setting up
the Red Rag website, which was originally intended to be the platform for smears. Mr Collins issued a
statement denying any knowledge of the smears campaign, which also involved Labour supporter and
blogger Derek Draper, before the recent revelations.
“I have had no knowledge whatsoever of any smears and found the stories and reports of the last week absolutely disgusting,” he said.
“I did attend a meeting at the Unite head office on December 1 to discuss online digital campaigning
and how we could support and encourage leftof-centre websites and bloggers.
“I am absolutely of the view that legitimate and responsible debate and discussion on policy should be
fostered on the web, and this will continue.
“This meeting was not about scurrilous rumour, personal attacks or smears, as I would have been
furious that such things could be seen as legitimate tools of political debate.
“I have no patience with the type of disgusting smears that have been reported and never will. I have
also made it clear that I will not seek Derek Draper’s advice in the future.”
George Osborne, the Shadow Chancellor, one of the Tories targeted by Mr McBride, said: “In the end,
Gordon Brown is responsible for the culture he creates in Downing Street.”
He told BBC1’s Andrew Marr Show that claims about Mr Collins suggested “that this goes far beyond
Damian McBride — this is a culture that has grown under Gordon Brown”.
Mr Osborne said that the Tories would do “everything possible” to change the culture in Downing Street
and would not engage in personal smears against political opponents.
