Labour members got this email today:
“Angela Rayner served the country and our Party with an enormous sense of duty, playing a key role in returning Labour to government. We’re all disappointed to have had to see her stand down from government but we know she will play a key role in Labour’s future.
Her journey speaks volumes about how Labour in power changes lives and we thank her for her incredible service as Deputy Prime Minister and as our Deputy Leader.
But the threat from our opposition is developing so rapidly that we cannot take our eye off the ball.
Yesterday, Nigel Farage rolled out Nadine Dorries to address Reform’s conference. One of Boris Johnson’s biggest allies, back to do it all over again – this time with Nigel Farage.
We have to come together to take this on. We know Reform have been gaining momentum, and Farage has a clear target: rolling back all the progress this and every other Labour Government has made.
We need as many Labour Party members as possible to make an urgent contribution to our campaign fund today.
If you’re able to, will you step up? Please rush in a generous donation of £3 today to help us stop him.”
The email goes on about how terrible Farage is and specifies that money will be used to attack Reform:
“Here is exactly how your donation helps stop Reform:
Keep our ads running so voters hear Labour’s message, not Farage’s slogans
Fund local campaign teams in Reform target seats to reach undecided voters
Power rapid response so we can hit back quickly when Reform pedal disinformation.”
In the midst of every crisis lies great opportunity…
