It seems that the Labour Party is busy soliciting for more funds, and it is the government policy that is for sale, along with consumer rights, democracy and what is left of the nations silverware...
Labour has resumed a secret courtship of influential donors before new funding rules are introduced to cover the party from future sleaze allegations, The Times has learnt.
Labour fears being left behind by the Tories in building up their war chest to fund the next general election. Labour, now £20 million in debt, generated only £580,000 from individual donors in the last quarter of last year, while Tory fundraisers brought in £9.8 million over the same period.
Jon Mendelsohn, Mr Brown’s leading fundraiser, is inviting small businessmen as potential donors to a series of private dinners to mingle with Cabinet ministers. They have been told that they could help to shape the next Labour manifesto...
The reason for the meetings, he wrote, was because “the Government is mid-term and in the process of preparing and planning for the next general election” and would appreciate an opportunity to “discuss ideas and campaign proposals”...
Last Tuesday’s dinner for 16 was held in a private room at Royal Horse-guards Hotel 150 yards from Downing Street. The Labour Party officials included Chris Lennie, the acting general secretary of the party, who hosted the event, and Mr Mendelsohn. Lord Sainsbury, the Party’s most generous ever donor, and Jon Aisbitt, the City hedge fund executive who gave £250,000 last year, were also present.
So need something done and got the money, then have a chat with that nice Mr Brown & for a mere 50K or so he will tip you a nod and a wink.
New Labour, the party of backhanders, sleaze and lies.
