I will say it once again, last week I read in either the Times or the Independent an editorial that was linking all these disputes with a plan in the union movement as a whole (not Unite specifically) to return the Labour party back to the left. I am not saying it is right, I am not saying it is wrong, but THAT WAS WHAT WAS BEING REPORTED.
This is getting interesting. Ash, Saj has provided us with a number of links to published material, you have vaguely referred to "what is being reported here in the UK", have you some links or similar so we can have a look at them?
