Sorry, but I'm not interested in politics affecting strikes even if you are. The simple fact remains that Unite still pays the Labour Govt, irrespective of whether the two have lost their love for one another.
And yes, I do live in the UK (when not on travel).

An employee in the UK is free to choose to join a union if they wish

UK law does not give any employee in the public or private sector the right to "be part of a union". You can join one if there is a union in place, but its not a right, its a choice. Big difference.

Getting firmly back on topic, Unite and BA may have their positions, but you can go ask anyone on the UKs streets whether they support BA or the Union and you'll find that its not the latter.
The morons at BA's cabin crew should be grateful they even HAVE a job.
