UNITE leader Len McCluskey demanded an investigation yesterday into last weekend’s scandal-hit Young Labour election, which right-wing candidate Jasmin Beckett won by a single vote.

Mr McCluskey said evidence of misconduct in her election as youth representative to Labour’s national executive committee (NEC) “grows stronger by the minute.”

And he called on Labour general secretary Iain McNicol to “restore faith and trust in Young Labour” by taking action.
