Andrea Egan has been elected leader of Unison, the UK's biggest trade union, defeating the current general secretary Christina McAnea, who is an ally of the prime minister. Egan, described as left-wing, had been expelled from the Labour Party three years ago. Her victory is seen as a blow to Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer. Egan pledged to stand up to employers, politicians, and cabinet ministers who act against Unison's interests. She also vowed to hold the Labour Party to account and refused to write the party blank cheques.
