Len McCluskey: Jeremy Corbyn disliked only due to Brexit

The leader of the Unite union blamed Labour's defeat on the referendum and criticised the Tories for trying to "minimise" trade unions.

And he defended his union's decision to endorse Rebecca Long-Bailey for the leadership, saying Labour's other policies are very popular with voters.

He wants to see the Conservatives allow workplace ballots, which would make it easier for dissatisfied workers to go on strike.
