Unions are to demand new rights to strike as the price for keeping the cash-strapped Labour Party afloat.
Repealing the ban on secondary industrial action is among a swath of left-wing policies that unions want to see in the Labour manifesto. The pressure on Gordon Brown comes as he is relying on the unions to help to avert Labour’s cash crisis, when they are in increasingly militant mood.
Probably the best manifesto that money can buy.

As a Conservative I would be quite happy to see such things in Labour’s manifesto. 200 seat majority here we come.
