    Unite? Labour in crisis as union chief Len McCluskey turns on Ed Miliband, as

    Tom Watson resigns

    Labour's biggest donor and Unite leader accuses party leader of a 'smear' and a 'stitch up'

    as Tom Watson resigns from Shadow Cabinet

    Labour was at war with its biggest donor after Len McCluskey, the leader of Unite, accused Ed

    Miliband of a "smear" and "a stitch-up" in a bitter dispute over the union's influence inside the party.

    Mr Miliband was engulfed in his biggest crisis since becoming Labour leader as Tom Watson

    resigned from his post in charge of the party's 2015 general election campaign. He had been

    criticised by some senior Labour colleagues amid controversy over Unite's attempts to install

    Karie Murphy, the manager of his Commons office, as the party's candidate in Falkirk, Scotland,

    at the election.

    Ms Murphy and Stephen Deans, chairman of Falkirk Labour Party, were suspended from the

    party as Labour rushed out the results of its internal inquiry into allegations that Unite recruited

    up to 100 party members in the hope of securing Ms Murphy's nomination.
