Could they throw their money and considerable weight behind Corbyn/Sultana yet to be named or launched political party?

A media play rather than any form of action being undertaken.

Sharon Graham (the Unite General Secretary) has been pretty hostile to Labour since she was elected, so this is not unexpected.

Seems nearly everyone is hostile to Labour, are they all wrong

This can’t be correct, all I ever hear from the Tories in here is how Labour are in the pocket of the unions.

In the spirit of reconciliation and happiness at the end of the Banter Era (RIP) and as a result of promotion I have cleared out my ignore list. Look forwards to reading your posts!

Graham's whole thing is that Unite should just be hyper-focused on winning disputes and use any/all leverage they've got to do that.

That's what this is really. Their members are in dispute with a Labour-run council and suspending Rayner is a cheap way of exerting a bit of leverage on someone with some ability to influence proceedings.

(Probably also makes them unlikely to just pull all political funds from Labour)

Interestingly, although from the left, she was not the left's preferred candidate to succeed Len McCluskey.
