Sandwiches and beer for Cameron?

This morning's Telegraph reports that the Tories are attempting to court the unions.

David Cameron has launched a secret mission to win over Britain's trade unions in the run-up to the next general election.
The Conservative leader has held privately talks with the head of the TUC while party officials have met with the unions more than sixty times since the spring.
The trade unions have also been asked to help draw up opposition policy, the Daily Telegraph can disclose.
The initiative mirrors Tony Blair's so-called "prawn cocktail" offensive to win more support among business leaders in the early 1990s.


Tea and sandwiches I am sure that it isn't,but his meeting with Brendan Barber reportedly last month and the first time a Tory leader has met with the top union boss in more than a decade,will no doubt anger the Labour leadership
