The Members' Money

In the latest Register of MPs' Financial Interests, Labour leader - Ed Miliband - records two donations from Unite, the union:

1 21 March 2011 - Unite made a donation of £15,190.08

2 12 August 2010 - Unite made a donation of £100,000.00 

Earlier today I shared the news that Unite has also paid a 'golden goodbye' to former general secretary - Derek Simpson - worth over £500,000. 

Seems to me that MPs with financial links to Unite should be wary of accepting any further donations.

Because someone is playing fast and loose - with money that belongs to ordinary union members.
