GMB cuts funding for 35 Labour Members of Parliament

The GMB trade union has started cutting its direct financial support for Labour MPs. It plans to withdraw funds from a maximum of 35 MPs and yesterday announced the first six.

Probably of most interest to Liberal Democrat members and supporters is the inclusion of Durham MP Roberta Blackman-Woods on the list. That’s because she is sitting on a majority of only 3,274 over the Liberal Democrats.
