Former Unite boss Len McCluskey enjoyed private jet flights and football tickets arranged by the firm building a multi-million pound hotel for the union, according to an internal report. Unite's report said the private jet flights and football tickets were "consistently organised and paid for by" the Flanagan Group and there is "no indication" Mr McCluskey later reimbursed them. Mr McCluskey's lawyers told the BBC he paid for his own travel in full, and, to his recollection, always paid the cost of his football tickets. He denied he had overruled staff or lawyers. The Flanagan Group did not respond to repeated requests for comment.
