Hard-left trade union boss makes huge profit from selling his four-bed home – after decorating it with socialist posters

A HARD-left union chief with an interest in Soviet propaganda artwork made a £800,000 profit selling his home.

Matt Wrack, 62, is set to become head of the ­NASUWT teaching union.

He flogged the four-bedroom house for £1.17million in July last year.

That is a 234 per cent increase on its value, after he bought it for £350,000 in 2004.

In the property in Leyton, East London, Mr Wrack was known to keep a cut-out-and-keep collection book of Soviet propaganda posters.

He led the Fire Brigades Union for 20 years until he lost a re-election bid in January after the longest period of strike action in its history.

His defeat came amid allegations he spent too much time championing Palestine in relation to the Gaza conflict instead of fighting for firefighters.

He has since been tipped to take over at NASWUT, with his nomination for the role currently unchallenged.

He could earn £134,000 a year and drive a company car, despite having no background in education.

A source said of his deal: “This is the sort of home that the average teacher could only dream of owning.

“Very few of NASWUT’s members will ever be in a position to purchase a house like his — especially when he will earn so much more than the normal teacher or even headteacher.”;

Mr Wrack had jointly owned the sold home with his partner. He was approached for comment on the sale.
