I see the old Labour sleaze is coming out again with payments and freebies from the unions, never mind appointing a guy to the treasury who just happened to donate as well. Nice to see little has changed….,
Every payment from a union has to be shown .
The political fund has to be voted on by the members every few years as well.
It's payed to mps who have the unions interest at heart
The RMT isn't affiliated to the Labour party because the members voted in favour of not doing it, not some faceless union boss.
It was after they had given funds to new Labour who said they would bring the rail back under one roof only to backtrack once in office, Prescott had been funded and a flat in London provided by the union for that aim, the union eventually had to take legal action to get him and later his family member to evict the premises.
We are voting soon to see if we want to carry on paying are political fund .
All very open to scrutiny, not something you could say about tory funding to mps from various pressures groups or individuals.
