I think some of these Union leaders need closer scrutiny.

I mentioned Jack Dromey recently (who usurped women-only shortlists to get himself elected to Parliament) - AFTER his Union (Unite) had "donated" £1 million to Labour !

"The Labour General Secretary at that time Peter Watt later revealed that the union Unite had given £1 million in donations on assumption of the safe seat of Wolverhampton North East being given to Dromey".
