Labour’s persistent failure to address its electorate’s salient concerns is behind the protest vote, asserts DIANE ABBOTT
The Labour Party becomes the Lobbyists Party
SOLOMON HUGHES probes the reprised role of Lexington Communications – key player in the 1999 cash-for-access scandal
IF YOU want to see an example of how the Labour Party under “moderate” leadership becomes the Lobbyists Party, there are plenty you could pick.
Let’s take Lexington Communications. It is a useful example because it was also involved in the New Labour government’s 1999 “cash-for-access” scandal. It seems very likely we will see a repeat of this scandal if/when a new Labour government forms in 2024.
Lexington is a lobbying firm that promises to help corporations “influence decision-makers and stakeholders, and shape the world in which our clients operate.”
