And how much of that is the Labour Party Political

I thought the idea of that was that the Unions gave
Blair 6 million and he gave them 10 million from
the taxpayer in return?

Actually, since the money is allegedly to "modernise" them,
rather than being a simple bung, they needn't be supporters
of the Labour Party to qualify.

Whole new meaning to top up fee...

For some unions, Bliar's government is no longer worth supporting.

I'd have thought that NUS had more reason to be disappointed in Our
