YVETTE Cooper tore into Ed Miliband’s legacy yesterday as she set out her stall as the “pro-business” candidate in Labour’s leadership contest.
The shadow home secretary said it had been a “mistake” for Mr Miliband to try to divide the economy into “predators” and “producers.”
And said she would “reset” Labour’s relationship with business — dropping the party’s opposition to the government’s recent corporation tax cut.
“Too often in the past our rhetoric undermined that positive relationship with business, and with the creation of jobs and wealth for the future,” she said.
Peter Mandelson also weighed into the contest again yesterday by accusing Mr Miliband of trying to wage a “class war.”
Left MP John McDonnell has responded to the right-wing onslaught by launching the Radical Labour website to give a voice to progressives within the party.
