No Money, More Problems

It’s been interesting to watch the increasingly explicit attacks on the Labour Government from various trade Union leaders at the TUC Conference. Bellgrove Belle makes an interesting point about trade union donations to the Labour Party. She’s absolutely right. If the TUC thinks that the Labour Government is that ignorant, why have Union leaders bunged the best part of three million pounds in the Labour Party’s direction this year alone?

Perhaps one saving that grassroots trade unions can make in the face of rising living costs would be to opt-out of the political levy. What are they getting out of continuing to subsidise a Labour Party that has long since stopped listening to them?

Winton Stabbing

Like everyone else locally I was absolutely horrified to learn of the appalling murder of Courtney Eaton in Winton on Friday night. If you have any information about it, please contact the police.
