Oops! Advice to Labour Parliamentary Hopefuls

Advice to Labour Parliamentary Hopefuls.....

when asking your Trades Union Paymasters to help write your latest press release, be careful not to send your email to a Conservative activist in error. Not only does it make you look slightly careless, inept even, it also provides further evidence that you are under the control of the Trades Unions (who are, after all, financing your campaign).

Good to see you both last night. I am keen to do a presser on the TA stuff so if you do have any stats or drafted presser's get them over.
A journalist is interested in the Living Wage stuff we worked on yesterday. I can supply her with stats but is there any population we could use as an example. Naming people wouldnt be appropriate but we could indicate that a particular population in Medway is paid under the Living Wage... 
I'd be keen to add any comment from GMB onto any Medway Labour Living Wage press release as well.
