Labour was last night accused of being ‘bought off’ by rail union barons after failing to condemn threats of summer strikes.
It came as Electoral Commission figures emerged showing the party had banked nearly £3million in little over a decade from the three unions threatening to bring railways to a halt.
Figures show the party and its MPs pocketed £1.4million from the TSSA union between 2010 and last year, £1.1million from train drivers’ union ASLEF and £469,450 from the militant RMT union. TSSA boss Manuel Cortes vowed to inflict a ‘summer of discontent’ on travellers.
