No more Mosley money after fascist find

LABOUR will not accept further donations from former motor-racing boss Max Mosley after a 1961 campaign leaflet he published emerged that warned: “Coloured immigration threatens your children's health.”

The pamphlet, supporting a by-election candidate for the fascist Union Movement, led by Mr Mosley’s father Oswald, was found in historical archives in Salford.  It states it was “published by Max Mosley.”

A senior Labour source described the views expressed as “repugnant” and said neither deputy leader Tom Watson, who has received more than £500,000 in donations from Mr Mosley, nor the party would take any further payments from him.
