Labour ‘to reach out to Lib Dems’

John Denham

John Denham said it was crucial the Labour party was willing to “reach out to progressive people”

Labour will “reach out” to Lib Dem MPs and supporters unhappy with the coalition and its policy on things like tuition fees, Shadow Business Secretary John Denham has said.

Mr Denham told the BBC’s Andrew Marr Show Labour had to show it was not “tribal” under Ed Miliband’s leadership

He said the party had worked very hard to try and head off the tuition fees rise and would continue to work with others who were “progressive”.

He also backed a graduate tax.
