Opposition mounts to Gordon Brown's plan to part-privatise the Royal Mail as unions vote on whether to disaffiliate from the Labour party.

The mauling at the hands of the electorate is not the only problem troubling the Labour party, as resistance grows to Gordon Brown's plans to part-privatise the Royal Mail.

Today the Communication Workers Union votes on whether to disaffiliate from the Labour Party in protest at the plan. Union members made their opposition clear when they marched on parliament in February.

Although a bill outlining plans for part-privatisation has made it through the House of Lords, nearly 150 Labour MPs have signed a motion condemning the proposal.
