Corbyn ally says unions are failing to speak up for renewable energy because they do not have members in that sector
An ally of Jeremy Corbyn has claimed trade unions that are involved in the nuclear industry have become "a voice for big business" because they have been weakened in other sectors.
Clive Lewis, the former shadow secretary of state for energy, singled out GMB for being too close to the nuclear lobby and said it was not speaking up for renewable energy because it did not have members there. He also questioned why unions "fight to the bitter end" for the arms industry.
