![]() [Labour leader will lose next election unless he offers more than 'pale shade of austerity', Unite trade union chief warns as he threatens to stop funding party Ed Miliband will lose the next general election unless he offers more left-wing policies such as renationalising the railways and putting up the minimum wage, the leader of the Unite trade union has said, has he threatened to pull millions of pounds in funding from the party. Len McCluskey, whose union is Labour’s biggest donor, said “battle” had broken out among Labour MPs over its election manifesto. He warned Unite is considering disaffiliating from the party if it loses the next election – a prospect he regards as increasingly likely because it has failed to present a “cohesive” agenda. Unite has donated more than £10 million to the party since Ed Miliband came to power and disaffiliating would cut off those funds. ] http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/poli...-election.html http://news.sky.com/story/1235496/un...labour-support What will Dork Ed do?
