Revealed: Unite boss’s plan to turn clock back to 1983 for Labour

LabourUncut
"A few weeks ago Uncut revealed Unite’s political strategy. How the union intends to take control of local Labour constituency parties, influence parliamentary selections and extract maximum political return for their funding largesse. ....So far the Labour leadership has tolerated and tacitly encouraged Unite in their efforts. Partly this has been through financial necessity – the party is now as reliant on Unite funding as William Hague’s late 90s Tories were on Lord Ashcroft and it doesn’t do to upset the banker - but it has also been a way of burying the Blairite past." (H/t Guido Fawkes)
