ONE of the few innovations of Keir Starmer’s Labour leadership is allowing multimillionaires to bypass the Labour Party and directly choose who gets ahead in the party and who doesn’t.
The latest example of this appears in the Register of MPs’ Interests: Josh Simons, Labour MP for Makerfield, says hedge fund boss Martin Taylor has given him £47,000 “to support my work as a member of Parliament.”
