Letter: Too much real labour for Blair

In Your report "Labour prepares to spin away 5,000 miners' jobs"(23 November) you say that "Tony Blair has refused to meet TUC and mining union leaders". No doubt he is too busy. Not too busy, however, to meet the representatives of motor racing, or have tea with Tory MPs who are thinking of defecting to Labour. Such are his priorities. Apart from the name, it is not clear what connection he has with Labour of any kind.
