Nobody seems to touch on these individual sums to various Deputy contenders... why back several unless it is to get favours?

Surely a genuine donor supports one candidate over another.

To fund several stinks of buying people.

Loved the Jon Snow question to the PM yesterday live at his press question session. Along the lines of why, as you claim. you and other Ministers were unaware of the man and his donations how has he managed to get personal meetings with so many top Labour people including the PM?
The answer amongst much squirming was that he didn't recall having a specific meeting with him and couldn't comment on others. I'm surprised no one has followed this line of question as it would seem highly unlikely that a man off the street could request and get access to Ministers & etc. without very good reasons!
