The party fund (From The Argus)

But when Labour does have large amounts of cash it spends it on :
> Illegal wars
> Spending on the NHS with no equivilent improvement
> A flawed ID Card scheme
> Renewing Trident
> Hugely increasing overseas aid when we should be tightening our belts

This money they've wasted comes from the raids on private pension schemes, over taxing the population and selling the nations gold reserves at rock bottom prices.

So it's probably better that Labour only has a small amount of money to spend. You'd only waste it otherwise.

The Green Party is able to call upon a great number of volunteers to deliver leaflets. There are fewer Tory and Labour people out and about.

Councillor Morgan, if your own supporters won't fund their own party, might this not be telling you something?
You could always get a bung from the Unite union, which has already given the Labour party nationally more than £11 million. Mind you, there's a suspicion that part of that will make its way to the three marginal seats in B+H and none of it will appear in local Labour party accounts.
We didn't hear you complaining when the Tories and Greens were cash starved a few years back and your lot were rolling in it. Funny that.

more labour double standards, and sour grapes, for gods sake warren give up your embarrassing ranting, you are sounding like gill mitchell bad losers. the argus should stop printing such rubbish, and give residents letters a priority.

The hypocrisy of this letter from Mr Warren truly shows how corrupt the Labour party has become. That the party Mr Warren belongs to gladly accepts 25% of its funding from Unite (who underwrote their debts to avoid bankruptcy), and large personal donations from the likes of Lord Sainsbury and Lord Paul (of unclear tax status), then to sling mud at the Conservatives for much the same only makes his ranting appear sad and tragic. Oh dear Mr Warren you’re not a very good ambassador for your party are you, maybe the local party agent should have a word.

Have some coffee mornings and raffles Cllr Morgan. Or are these fundraising activites a bit to mundane for Brighton & Hove's New Labour "Bollinger Bolsheviks"?

The Labour Party has now been in power and have had plenty of time to ensure a level playing field. Not only regarding party funding but a change to the electoral system itself. Labour won't be getting my vote this time.

This letter is hilarious!

Just because Labour isn't doing very well as far as party funds go (though let's face it, they've had their fair share of dodgy donations in the past) they seem to think that all this is unfair. It didn't seem to bother them when they had the most money.

But then this kind of hypocrisy is not unusual for the likes of Councillor Morgan. In this city Labour pushed to bring in the cabinet system in council, removing the previous committee system. Why? Because they evidently thought it would mean that they could marginalise all the other parties. Now that it has backfired since they lost control of the council three years ago they argue that it is undemocratic!

Communal bins are another example - Labour (including Councillor Morgan) forced these onto the streets with no consultation with the residents. With Labour out of power and the Tories doing the same thing, what happens? Suddenly Labour leaflets fly around about how outrageous it all is, including one with a picture of the diminutive Ms. Liz Telcs, a Labour candidate for Goldsmid ward, standing next to one of the overbearing monsters. Oh yes ... Ms. Liz Telcs ... also known as Mrs. Warren Morgan - yes, that same man who brought them in.

Cough .... hypocrisy ... cough.
