I don't know why Unite doesn't stop all the affiliation money it pays to Labour.  Labour did nothing for the Unions during its last terms in office.

Unite decides to cut Labour affiliation money amid frustrations

A meeting of the Unite union executive has decided to cut its affiliation money to the Labour Party by about 10%, BBC Newsnight understands.

Unite is the Labour Party's single biggest donor, providing the party with millions in funding every year.

But there is anger in the union about Labour's direction under Sir Keir Starmer with a source saying he and his inner team were "just not listening".

The Labour Party has so far not commented on the decision.
