From the Times:
The hard-left former head of the Fire Brigades Union has been elected permanent general secretary of the National Association of Schoolmasters and Union of Women Teachers.
Despite having no teaching experience, Matt Wrack, 63, won a vote in which only 4.7 per cent of members took part — the union’s first contested leadership election since 1990. He secured 5,249 votes, defeating Neil Butler, an NASUWT official who polled 3,126.
As the JC noted the other day, Wrack is a big Corbyn fan, and has been accused of skewing an antisemitism survey in schools that highlighted right-wing hate while ignoring left-wing and Islamic concerns.
It's quite a time for union Corbynistas, what with all the news about Len McCluskey.
