Former Labour Minister Takes A Swipe At Labour’s
Integrity
Former Labour Minister Trevor de Cleene has
taken a swipe at the Labour party’s integrity.
In a
Listener article this week Mr de Cleene, when asked about
the party’s 1984 election manifesto, said, “All political
parties make promises they don’t keep. If people are stupid
enough to believe parties’ promises, then they don’t deserve
to vote.”
“Labour’s followers thought they could trust the
party but now they are being told they are stupid if they do
so, ” Enterprise and Commerce Minister Max Bradford said.
“If voters couldn’t trust the Labour party to keep its
promises in 1984, how can people trust them now?”
“Mr de
Cleen must feel the same way since he says he won’t be
voting for Labour this year,” Mr Bradford
said

By some estimates it adds on average, one new track every 1.4 seconds. (No wonder it's so hard to keep up with new music.) Spotify has 345 million active users, and 155 million of them have been willing to pay a subscription in order to enjoy their music ad-free. Ads are not a major driver of company revenue...
