Ok, but there is nothing in there to say they are in service to lobbyists, well because they haven't really done any thing yet.

Its all about that some of their MPs used to work in PR, that some people who were MPs now are lobbyists and that Labour has promised to work with business, which is kind of a non-brainer if they want growth. They haven't hidden that, its been part of their message for months, if not years.

They're doing lots of work to try to improve workers rights and have worked with the unions (yes they're lobbyists also) to settle public sector pay disputes. Don't see how that is not being on the side of the working people?

I suppose that the opaque funding of Labour Together, the *donations*from MPM Contact to Wes, Dan and Yvette, the presence of Ali at No 10 and Milburn at NHS meetings is all beans and sausages for the working people.
