A major corruption scandal has rocked the Unite trade union after reports revealed that former boss Len McCluskey accepted private jet flights and football tickets from a building firm contracted to construct a union hotel and conference centre.
Investigations found the firm overcharged Unite by at least £30 million, contributing to a £66 million write-down in the union's accounts. The report also alleges that McCluskey ignored legal warnings about the contract. Current union leadership has launched multiple independent inquiries into historical fraud and corruption.
The revelations have sparked outrage and calls for accountability within one of the UK's largest unions.
