[News] 'Potential criminality' at Labour's largest donor, two independent reports find

[Is it PotG?]

Unions - link here

 

[Titanic]

Muck-raking by the Tory press.

Good to see the BBC ignoring it.

 

[Bold Seagull]

Shocking if true, and completely correct of the current Unite General Secretary to instigate the KC and accountancy investigation, and prosecute where criminality has occurred.

 

[sparkie]

Investigate and prosecute if any wrong-doing found

 

[Smirko]

What a surprise..........not

 

[Mackenzie]

Good we need our politicians to act in accordance to the law, and if wrongdoing is found should be prosecuted no matter who they are.

 

[Live by the sea]

A dodgy union leader , not a massive surprise is it . If you look and listen to the leaders of the big trade unions , they do all come across as people you wouldn’t trust with your money .

Interesting that Sky News reporting this like it is 'new' news when they covered it back in April, but include no link or reference back to their earlier report by the same reporter on 07 April 2022.

Guardian also ran the same story on 07 April. Both mention that 1 employee is subject of the criminal investigation.

Given further news of Tory criminality with their ‘VIP lanes’ this week I’m not surprised if some old stories have been rehashed to deflect …

Right, that's my daily dose of political whataboutery done and dusted. Now, are people still arguing on the Connolly thread?

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Not so much news, more a reminder. They'll be saying tories are all bent soon. Don't trust anyone...regardless of what party you support

 

[keaton]

"eye watering overcharging on large contacts" is the main Tory policy of the last decade isn't it?

 

[beorhthelm]

not really Labour's problem though is it, why mention them in reports if in no way involved? (yes, i know why)

 

[Barnet Seagull]

So a union representing it's members has some accounting anomalies - well worth investigatin.
Possibly not in the same leave as as corrupt individual Russian donors and KGB members (allegedly) given peerages.
Yes, a huge story.

I have always been a labour supporter and very supportive of unions, but your quite right. The leaders in the past all seemed genuine guys.
