The Labour Party has always taken the view that we should be beyond reproach with regard to accepting and reporting donations and we are the Party that has reformed the area of political donations to increase transparency and accountability. The Labour Party notes that this matter has been concluded and that it has been made clear that no-one sought to break any rules. The Labour Party put aside t...

Labour party are now afraid of being smeared as an anti-Welsh party. Well it was the Labour party headquarters in London that abolished "Welsh Labour" as an accounting unit with the Electoral commission thus all donations to "Welsh Labour" go straight to London headquarters war chest. For years the Labour party in the south Wales valleys have run a smear campaign against Plaid Cymru. With gems lik...

The political party that I dislike most of all is the Labour Party. It is a party that has offered so much to Wales, and has received so much support from Wales over the past eight decades, but has failed miserably to deliver. It is the party that Wales trusted, and the party that betrayed that trust. I hate the Labour party and I can think of a million and one reasons for not voting Labour. Durin...

There has always been a strong moral streak to support for the Labour Party. Put simply, Labour is supposed to be the ethical party, and the Conservatives the greedy, the venal, the nasty party, the party of power and inherited privilege. The Tories are the ones who invite General Pinochet to tea and Labour people are the ones who arrest him. So when the party leaderships moral compass se...

The unions have donated over £60m to the Labour party in the last 6yrs and in return workers have been treated with disdain by the Labour UK Government. The Labour Party has been in government for 10 years and has done very little to help the workers of Wales. During this time we have seen massive cuts in Welsh manufacturing and a constant barrage of abuse from the Labour leadership towards ...

contribution by Harpymarx With an election looming why should people vote for a pro-imperialist, warmongering and neoliberal party? Well, that’s the thing with the Labour Party: the answer is far more complex. There are MPs in the Labour Party who are solid Socialists, dissidents in their party, who fight for the interests of the working class.

Yet another chance encounter with an old friend who has left the Labour Party ("with bells on", as she herself puts it). She says that she now plans to concentrate her political efforts on child poverty, in which (like me) she takes it as self-evident that New Labour has no interest whatever. Just how many people are there left in the Labour Party who are not either in receipt of councillors' allo...
