TUC rejects comparisons between Reform's billionaire donations and trade union funding of Labour

TUC general secretary Paul Nowak rejected comparisons between billionaire donations to Reform UK and trade union funding of Labour today.

Mr Nowak said there is a “world of difference” between “a care worker or someone working in a car plant or a distribution centre putting in a few quid a year through their union” and the £72 million gifted Reform by cryptocurrency billionaires Ben Delo and Chris Harborne.

“These are the biggest donations in British political history,” he said of Reform’s windfall, “and effectively aimed at buying and selling our democracy.”
