Labour is a labour movement, or was. The ties to Unions are hardly secret or a surprise.
And FWIW I don't think being influenced by business is at all the same as being influenced by labour (small l). Government spends vast amounts of (our) money and the cause of all this "lobbying" is who they might decide to favour with their "investment opportunities".
Uniserve Limited is a logistics firm controlled by Iain Liddell. Prior to the pandemic, the firm had no experience in supplying PPE, yet the firm landed a staggering £300m+ in PPE contracts from the DHSC and an eye-watering £572m deal to provide freight services for the supply of PPE. The company shares the same address as Cabinet Minister Julia Lopez MP and is based in her constituency.
