Political scandal once again hits the UK as Union baron 'Red' Len's union Unite have been caught signing up members without their knowledge to a local Labor Party branch in order to influence the selection of the local Member of Parliament in Falkirk. The selections are done by secret ballot of local party members so 'Red' Len's union swamped the local branch with members to get a favored candidate selected.

Leaked documents from the Union indicate that this was a strategy to influence the selection in up to 45 seats for cronies in Parliament. The scandal is sweeping Westminster as we speak where Labor's election co-ordinator has resigned. Labor leader 'Red' Ed Miliband is struggling to get a grip of the scandal. He has fired 'Red' Len's girlfriend who is an office manager for the Party. Needless to say Len is furious and hurling accusations around.

Call for Union Regulator to investigate Unite over Fraud

The official trade union Certification Officer – who by law regulates trade unions – is being asked to investigate Unite over allegations that the signing up of Unite union members to the Labour Party in Falkirk without their knowledge or permission is an act of fraud. The Trade Union Reform Council (TURC), which is backed by 12 MPs (http://turc.org.uk/?page_id=322), alleges that there are legal grounds for making 4 criminal charges of fraud against Unite union officials.

The Certification Officer has statutory powers to direct an organisation at any time, if he thinks there is good reason to do so, to produce relevant documents to aid his investigations, this could mean the Labour Party is forced to reveal the suppressed report of its own investigation into the goings on in Falkirk. The Certification Officer is almost certain to begin an investigation which could result in all the dirty washing being revealed. Fraud is an imprisonable offence…
