Unite slashes Labour Party funding
Party plunged into crisis by £1.5m cut
Labour Party activists warned of a deep crisis for the party yesterday as Britain's biggest union slashed its membership payments.
Unite announced that it will halve its membership contribution from £3 million to £1.5 million annually.
The union will affiliate just half a million of its members to Labour at £3 each - instead of one million members.
