Labour Party leadership: Trade union electors ‘may hit 6 figures’
THE number of trade unionists signing up as Labour supporters to vote in the leadership election could reach six figures, a party insider told the Star yesterday.

As well as 246,469 full members, the statistics show that the party currently has 9,115 registered supporters and 3,788 affiliated supporters.
