The leader of Britain's biggest trade union has warned Ed Miliband Unite could break its links with Labour if the party loses the next election.

Len McCluskey told reporters he could see the union voting to disaffiliate from a defeated Labour if it ceased to be the voice of working people.

He said he feared for the future of the Labour Party and said he agreed with those who said the party had no "God given" right to exist.

The party was at a crossroads, he said.

He told a press gallery lunch at Westminster that Labour leader Ed Miliband had not yet presented a "coherent vision" to the electorate and if it were "a pale shadow of austerity", then he believed Labour would be defeated in 2015.

It was, he said, "grumble time" within the Labour Party and MPs were getting "uneasy".

Don't panic, Mr Mainwaring, Don't panic !

"Labour consistently has to demonstrate that it is our voice, we created it".

"I believe that the British electorate are of a mind, unless there is a real alternative, to say 'We had better stick with the devil we know'."

I recommend it.

.... but we have a NEW political party to look forward too (LOL !)

it's called (dis)UNITE
