Re: Harman's Labour 'rebellion'
Quote:
Jeremy Corbyn’s march towards a shock victory in the Labour leadership race took another leap forward today when he won the backing of the Unison trade union.
Unison leaders decided to nominate the veteran left-wing backbencher, who is running on an anti-austerity ticket. They named Yvette Cooper as the union’s second choice, boosting her prospects of emerging as the “stop Corbyn” candidate as bookmakers William Hill made him the favourite for the first time, at 11-8. He started the contest as a 200-1 outsider.
Unison’s decision was a double blow to Andy Burnham, the shadow Health Secretary, who had hopes of winning Unison after his long campaign against “NHS privatisation.” The union has thousands of members working in the NHS.

Bet that sticks in Andy Burnham's craw. He would have been counting on the support of NHS Unions as his trump card. Stafford Hospital Karma?
