Unite, Indeed

Fraser Nelson is annoyed that Unite officials are on course for safe seats as part of that union's bailout of the organisation still purporting to be the Labour Party.

Well, not least is this age when little things like opinions are not deemed to matter for such purposes, to have been a senior official of a major trade union is as good a qualification as any to become an MP, and a lot better than merely having been a girl who slept with David Cameron at Oxford or a boy who slept with David Cameron at Eton.

The real scandal is that, safe seats or no safe seats, the unions are still funding the organisation purporting to be the Labour Party. Why?
