Ignoring the politics of those who are demanding the unions be cut off, where else is Labour's funding going to come from? Without addressing this question the desire to divorce Labour from both the unions and its members is even more wrongheaded

I think the question is much more ideologically practical. Trade Unionism, or at least increased worker organising / collectivism can be incredibly useful, if not central, in redefining the cultural codes around what it means to be a "working person".

That's true. The union movement doesn't do anywhere near as much 'consciousness raising' as it should do, but that's no reason to throw the baby out with the bathwater.
