An uncivil war inside Unite
Manage episode 509207897 series 2583056
Unite was once the biggest trade union in Britain, and the largest funder - and kingmaker - of the Labour Party. In the past its reputation has come under scrutiny. Then, in 2021, it elected its first female leader. She promised to clean up the union and restore trust, even if it meant losing the ear of Labour. Has she got the house in order?
