EXCL: Former Unite boss Len McCluskey enjoyed private jet flights and football tickets arranged by the firm who built a multi-million pound hotel for the union, a report seen by BBC finds bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Flanagan Group, which is run by friends of Mr McCluskey, overcharged Unite by at least £30m for the Birmingham hotel and conference centre project, the Unite report says.

It also found McCluskey "overruled" advice from staff and the union's lawyers in signing the construction contract with Flanagan Group.

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. Flanagan Group did not respond to repeated requests for comment.

Sources have told the BBC that on one occasion McCluskey travelled on a Falcon 900B business jet. The plane's owners said it offered passengers "super size comfort" including "8 leather club seats, a full size bed, fully stocked galley and cabin sound system". Aviation company
