REVEALED: Labour puppet master’s devastating plan to paralyse UK

He runs Britain’s biggest union and bankrolls Starmer’s party. Now we expose how Red Len’s upcoming memoir boasts of blueprint to cripple our nation’s food, power and transport networks

‘Anarchists and ultra-Leftists welcome’

LEN McCluskey secretly plotted to bring Britain to its knees with a general strike disrupting the supply of food and power.

Today the Daily Mail can reveal the extraordinary blueprint for the illegal action drawn up by the Unite general secretary.

The union baron, nicknamed ‘Red Len’, developed plans to shut down the country’s transport system in the event of the Government bringing in more restrictive trade union laws.

Hundreds of lorries would be sent to key locations to block the motorway network and roads into London.

Mr McCluskey believed the coordinated walkouts across every industry would cause ‘considerable disruption’ to the public as Unite is the leading trade union in critical sectors including energy, food and utilities.

With its 1.5million-strong membership, he pledged ‘to make the cost of our destruction unbearable’. He intended to heighten the chaos by encouraging anarchists to take to the streets.

Mr McCluskey, who will step down this coming week after a decade leading Unite, will disclose plans for the radical action in a bombshell memoir to be published next month. The revelations include:

Explosive claims that Sir Keir Starmer reneged on a deal brokered behind closed doors for Jeremy Corbyn to be reinstated as a Labour MP.

The establishment of a new organisation bringing together trade unions, hard-Left MPs and grassroots groups to coordinate socialist efforts, which Mr McCluskey admits will be seen as an ‘anti-Starmer’ movement.

Secret talks were held by Mr McCluskey and Theresa May’s business secretary Greg Clark as she tried to get her Brexit deal through the Commons.

Under trade union laws, a general strike would be illegal as workers are banned from taking part in walkouts unless a dispute involves their own employer.

But in his book, Always Red, Mr McCluskey will reveal that he had prepared a ‘blueprint to bring the country to a halt’ through such an action.

The Unite general secretary said he was ready to activate the plan if the union was taken to court over strike action and ordered to pay substantial damages that would put its ‘existence under threat’.

If the union’s funds and buildings were seized after it refused to pay what it owed ‘we would see that as an attempt to shut us down and therefore we would resist using every means at our disposal’.

Mr McCluskey planned to move to TUC headquarters where he would form a ‘war cabinet’ and ‘work to a blueprint detailing what to hit’.

‘First, we would block vital transport arteries. Unite’s road haulage branch would put at least 200 lorries at key locations to block the motorway network and roads into London,’ he wrote.

Mr McCluskey said ‘restrictive trade union laws would no longer inhibit us, as we would have nothing left to lose’ and he would tell workers in other unions not to cross picket lines formed outside railway and tube stations.

Boasting about how Unite has a stranglehold on seven of the nine critical infrastructure sectors of the economy such as energy, food and utilities, he added: ‘Of course, one-and-a-half million Unite members would not come out on strike, but I know workers in key sectors and certain companies would defend their union.

‘Quickly, employers all over the country would be wailing about their losses. The disruption to the public would be considerable.’

He suggested protests would be used to ‘hit vital national targets as well as the company we were in dispute with’.

‘We would mobilise on the streets with demonstrations organised by [unemployed workers]… anyone and everyone would be welcome to join us – anarchists, ultra-Leftists, the lot’. The union would also attempt to get workers across the world to join in the action.

‘If the dispute was with British Airways, for example, I know from discussions I’ve had that in various countries around the world planes would land and stay landed, with workers refusing to service them,’ he wrote.

He continued: ‘We would not go gently into the night. We would make the cost of our destruction unbearable.’

Mr McCluskey said the blueprint was ‘developed because of a genuine belief it could be necessary’.

The 71-year-old, who has been Unite general secretary since 2010, will retire next week, with his successor announced on Thursday.

He will also use his memoir to finally confirm he is in a relationship with Mr Corbyn’s former chief-of-staff Karie Murphy.

IF there was ever a grain of truth that trade unions were the workers’ friends, Len McCluskey proves this is no longer true.

In his memoir, the hard-Left troublemaker brags about plotting an illegal general strike to bring Britain to its knees.

Roads, railways and airports paralysed. Food, power and water supplies crippled. Essential services disrupted. Far from protecting workers’ rights, the

and his fellow union dinosaurs – invariably in the cosseted public sector – relish a class war against the Tories.

And who would be the first casualties? As ever, the long-suffering man in the street.

Labour’s main paymaster, and joined at the hip to Jeremy Corbyn, McCluskey reminds us how chillingly close the UK came to a Socialist nightmare (for which Keir Starmer campaigned enthusiastically).

Unsuccessful at the ballot box, ‘Red Len’ and his cronies childishly seek to use bullyboy strikes to turn democracy on its head.

The Government should curb their excesses. The public would approve.

For if McCluskey’s boasts about the tyrannical demagoguery of the unions teach us one lesson, it’s that the enemy still lurks within.
