Labour party has forgotten its founding principles

Fergus Finlay’s loyalty to his former colleagues is admirable . . . to a point! (Irish Examiner, July 14).

However, it is a pity that the Labour Party has abandoned both its core principles and the ‘working class’ people of Ireland when they need it most. It’s a pity that they have allowed the trade unions to become ‘mé féin’ and ‘I’m all right Jack’ unions (pun intended).

Any government which tolerates zero hours contracts do not serve the common good and is not fit for purpose.
