Buying New Labour

The BBC Radio 4 news bulletin at 0800 this morning reported the original donor to Harriet Harman cannot recall the money (it was apparently paid by his secretary) as he had supported Hilary Benn for the Deputy leadership. The BBC reported that: THE MONEY FOR THE DEPUTY LEADERSHIP CAMPAIGN OF THE WIFE OF THE PARTY TREASURER ARRIVED TWO WEEKS AFTER SHE HAD WON. Make of that what you wish, for me it can mean only one thing, the donor was in the business of buying influence in the governing party..... having backed the wrong horse he immediately tried to make the best of matters hoping the funds would not be returned either because of their illegality or their late arrival. It speaks volumes on the morals of the couple concerned but far more worryingly the manner in which Labour has been governing Britain.
