TUC grills Miliband over cutting ties
Labour leader refuses to back down over plans to change link
Labour came in for a roasting at TUC yesterday after it emerged that Ed Miliband would push ahead with his plans to change the union link.
Mr Miliband is set to stick by his measures even after the GMB union cut its funding of the party by £1 million and an internal investigation cleared Unite and would-be Falkirk MP Karie Murphy of vote-rigging.
The reforms would see members of affiliated unions pay party dues individually, rather than collectively.
