Never Mind "Cash For Peerages"...
I almost can't believe the blatant abuse of power and taxpayers money, but to cut a long story short government-owned companies are donating money to the Labour party. Yes, you did read that right.
The main company in question is Manchester Airport, 100% owned by the 10 councils of Greater Manchester, and the Labour Party has accepted a total of nearly £150,000 of Labour-controlled public money through payments handed over by the Manchester Airport Group (MAG), since 1997. After asking for it back (after being caught out), £71,000 - has never been returned.
