Leaked accounts come days before meeting to discuss claims project costs have spiralled out of control
Unite, Labour’s most generous backer, appears to have more than doubled its planned expenditure on a controversial construction project in just five years.
Amid concern over the cost of building the hotel and conference centre in Birmingham, leaked accounts indicate that the union spent £74m up to the end of 2019. In 2015, media reports claimed the project was expected to cost £35m.
