Description

David Kermode speaks to Employment Secretary Michael Portillo who sees the Clause 4 victory (repeal of wholesale nationalisation clause at Labour conference) as a massive cynical U-turn designed to mislead people. He claims the trade unions still dominate the Labour Party and control its funds, so policies will be dominated by them. Sound is in mono.
