Allowance increase will pour an extra £7,000 into Labour's coffers
Liberal Democrats can today reveal that the Labour party in Rochdale will benefit by an extra £6994.70 if the Council pushes ahead and votes to increase Councillors' Allowances. This means that a mouthwatering £37,362.50 will now pour into the party - a proportion of which goes to Jeremy Corbyn's national Labour party. To become approved to be a Labour candidate in the borough you have to agree to what is called a 'tithe' of 5%. That is the proportion of Councillor's allowances that Labour Councillors have to pay into the local Labour Party for political campaigning.
