The whole thing has been a longterm right wing plan: to organise a witchhunt against what they regarded as a weak section, namely the Militant tendency; to pick on parliamentary candidates that they didn't like; and to remove left-wingers on the NEC from the trade union section and the women's section, which are dominated by the Basnett-Grantham - Weighell - Chapple -Duffy block vote.

That's what the Trade Unionists for a Labour Victory is all about. That's what's behind it all.

Don't let anyone get any fancy ideas that it's John Golding being a master tactician. He's just a cipher. The real people behind it are Healey, Basnett, and so on.

They managed to induce NUPE to cast its votes for right winger Anne Davis, and not to vote for Dougie Hoyle. The result was that me lost Joan Maynard -aad Dougie Hoyle, not that he was the greatest left-winger of all time. It enabled them to increase their majority. Now the majority is with the Healey camp.

But don't get the impression that Dennis Skinner has just discovered that the right wing are after him, and he's crying. I ain't crying!

There's recorded voting next year for the trade unions at Labour Party conference. There will be no wheeler-dealing then. Unions like NUPE and the NUM will have to come down on one side or the other.

Last year when the Right came to the NEC with an exercise like this, foot appealed for unity.

This time, when it came to taking Jo Richardson and Frank Allaun off the Home Policy Sub-committee, said: 'We've not heard the Leader speak yet. When is he going to enter the discussion?

"Last year he was in right at the beginning to try to heal any breaches that might occur. Isn't he going to defend Frank Allaun, his left wing sidekick for the last 30 years, the same man who stood by him when he was being witch-hunted out of the Parliamentary Labour Party?

"Now then, Mr Foot, are you going to defend Frank Allaun? Because if you can't defend Frank Allaun, how can we put any trust and reliance in you to defend the policies that the right wing. want to remove?" make possible a, 'Labour' government that has answers to the rampaging crisis of British capitalism - is inseparable from the fight against the witch-hunt.
