A series of reports and investigations have revealed that former Unite union boss Len McCluskey accepted private jet flights and football tickets from a building contractor while the firm was constructing a hotel and conference centre for the union.
The contractor allegedly overcharged Unite by £30 million, contributing to a reported £70 million financial shortfall in the project. Internal union inquiries have uncovered historical allegations of corruption and mismanagement under McCluskey's leadership. Legal warnings about the contract were reportedly ignored, raising further questions about governance.
The revelations have sparked outrage and calls for accountability within one of the UK's largest trade unions.
