Why GMB's funding cut is significant
Britain's third largest trade union is planning to cut its affiliation funds to the Labour Party from just over £1m a year to £150,000.
The BBC News Channel's Chief Political Correspondent Norman Smith explains why the GMB's decision to slash funding to Labour ahead of planned membership rule reforms is so significant.
He says the decision reflects "a growing divide between the union movement and the Labour Party".
