A blog by Luke Akehurst about politics, elections, and the Labour Party - With subtitles for the Hard of Left. Just for the record: all the views expressed here are entirely personal and do not necessarily represent the positions of any organisations I am a member of.
The latest begging letter from Gavin Hayes of Compass whinges that they "don’t have millionaire donors".

I think it's more of a badge of pride than a whinge.
I've never seen the accounts (a bit like all the other factions then), but I would suggest that perhaps Compass are happy with Neal having worked full-time unpayed for a significant period.
The outcome speaks for itself; we certainly get noticed.
