Communication Workers and RMT endorse McDonnell with cash donations?

According to the Electoral Commission website, the Central London Branch Communication Workers Union and the National Union of Rail, Maritime & Transport Workers donated between them £7,000 to Labour leadership contender John McDonnell. The former donated £2,000 in December and the latter donated £5,000 in January. I guess that they're flag tied to the mask.. wonder how Gordon will feel?

In the meantime, Amicus have also been handing out the money to lefties contenders. According to the Electoral Commission, John Cruddass received a £15,000 donation from them last December. LabourHome people are quite animated about that donation it seems.

John McDonnell's union fan club is growing - with the addition of affiliated union ASLEF.
