This year’s exam paper for prospective Labour party candidates in Newham has come light. Here is one of the questions:
You have a choice about where to spend council taxpayers’ money. Do you:
- Invest £40 million in the already publicly-owned Olympic stadium so that the multi-millionaire owners of West Ham United can move their football club, which competes in the world’s richest league, into swanky new premises; or
- Spend £41,000 to support an innovative hostel for single mothers that provides tailored help as well as shelter to homeless young women in the borough?
Candidates who answered (1), congratulations! You clearly understand the Mayor’s priorities. Your prize is a place on the ballot in next year’s elections and a tidy £10,800 a year in allowances.
If you answered (2), please leave your party membership card at the door on your way out. Newham Labour is no place for the likes of you.
