Labour racked up shock £4.8million loss after member exodus | The Sun
LABOUR saw a £4.8million loss after 91,000 members quit last year, its accounts show.
The party raised £46million in 2021 but has spent £51million.
The “difficult and demanding year” was blamed on redundancy payments in a cost-cutting drive.
Labour insisted it was now “on track to a firm financial footing”.
Some grassroots campaigners have blamed the exodus on Sir Keir Starmer’s leadership.
