News from the Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition, founded in 2010 soon after the last Haringey Council elections:

I think it’s safe to say they aren’t very keen on the Liberal Democrats, but neither is the party much of a fan of Labour.

Add to this factors such as Labour’s dreadful record at running Haringey Council (the worst in London according to the final Audit Commission report) and the dissent within Labour’s ranks over allegations of stitch-ups and rule breaking in its own selections, and a challenge from the left of Labour could add a very interesting twist to the council elections next May.

It certainly will undermine Labour’s pitch for the support of voters opposed to cuts given Labour’s own record of cutting before 2010 and promising some sort of cuts in the future too.
