Face the Facts
Given the present furore surrounding Labour's relations with the trade unions, I thought this might be a good time to revisit the following post from the blog site - from April 2012.
Nothing much has changed since that time - Ed Miliband is still the Labour leader and Len McCluskey is still the boss of Unite - but the undemocratic way that the trade unions operate in the political arena has now been laid bare for all to see.
The tactics being employed by Unite, Unison and GMB were devised back in the 1970s and are no longer fit for purpose, so the big question is - 'Who's going to face up to that fact first, Ed Miliband or Len McCluskey?'
