Bad news today, I'm afraid. The predicted government opposition to the Bill did not materialise, and neither, for the most part did Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition. In event the government sat on its hands, presumably as a sop to its sponsors, the trade unions, whose baby this was.
According to the Electoral Commission 18 months ago, unions provide Labour with 75% of its funds. The influence they wield as a result became clear today.
The CBI, I am told, predicts a loss of 250,000 jobs if this Bill passes into law.
