Roll up, roll up for tomorrow's Labour fundraiser
Apparently Alastair Campbell is frantically texting round the great and the good to try and drum up numbers for tomorrow night's Labour fundraiser at Wembley. Bit late now... One person has apparently been phoned 8 times asked to buy a c. £15,000 table. Still saying no.
Having seen the list of prizes - which include such esoteric items as "Be a character in Alastair Campbell's new novel" and "Tea with Nancy Dell’Olio at Claridges" - I'd pay very good money not to attend.

What a fabulous assortment of prizes. I'd just love to play tennis with Tony, have a part in Alastair's book, a swim with David Walliams or have a family sculpture by Kirsty Tinkler.
Sounds to me like resentful sour grapes from the two predictable posters here who can only dream or aspire to Smythsons useless tat on offer at Tory turnouts.

I'm sure you would.......
What is Smythsons?

Was there a prize draw? The prize, who can paint the bleakest prospects for New Labour finances.

The ship is sinking for Labour
In contrast, the George Osborne's speech last night attracted a packed crowd ... and not just the party faithful, but a large number of civil servants.

NuLab would have more success raising the dead.

Frankly and honestly they would have to pay me 15 grand to attend.
And, even then I would probably find something on the telly more interesting so would decline the offer.
