Sugar producers, Tate & Lyle campaigned heavily for Brexit.
That’s not surprising, as Tate & Lyle uses sugar produced by US farmers and so has to pay tariffs on its products in the EU, unlike its biggest rival British Sugar which uses sugar produced by British farmers.
So it’s interesting to note that the Tories pocketed massive amounts of cash from Tate & Lyle in October when it accepted the US multinational as their main sponsor for their party conference:
Also interesting to note is that as a result of the Brexit vote, Tesco has now also stabbed British farmers in the back by switching its suppliers from British Sugar to Tate & Lyle:
And even more interesting to note, is that David Davis – Britain’s chief Brexit negotiator – used to be an executive for Tate & Lyle and campaigned heavily against EU tariffs imposed on the company:
Yet more scratching of each others’ backs between the Tory Party and foreign multinationals at the expense of Britain?

Important to note Tate and Lyle used to be well known as a British company and favoured because it provided an outlet for Jamaican sugar cane,. However 2010 the sugar refining business, part of the company was sold to American Sugar Refining (producing American cane sugar?) along with the right to use the Tate & Lyle brand name and Lyle’s Golden Syrup

The Labour party is sponsored by Sky News (Rupert Murdoch), online gambling companies, international arms dealers (BAE Systems) and tax avoiders (Google etc.). Who is worse?

@Deborah… You need to get back in the field and chew on some more cud. Oh! & leave those mushroom be. They’re giving you bad hallucinations. They can be frightening, but there’s usually an identifiable cause.
Best forget where ever you got that from, unless you have proof.

To Shadow and others – “there are none so blind as those who will not see”
You could try starting at:

* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVmvo2YOBOA
… and then you could try using Google for yourself, if you’re actually interested in facts rather than sitting in your comfortable echo chamber.
P.S. Sorry, I forgot to mention G4S and Atos in my earlier post!

@Deborah. Things have changed since Ed Miliband was leader. Where have you been. A post that is outdated since the day’s of Corby. ‘2015’ Open your eyes.
As for BAE. JC promised he would immeideatly suspend sales to S.A.
The only eyes that need to be opened are your very own. You’re living in the past not the present.

You can not for a moment lay blame on what Corbyn is trying to achieve for everyone… The days of Blaire & Miliband are over.
FOR THE MANY. NOT THE FEW.
I’d rather put my trust in a man that wants change, rather than what we have right now.

Apparently you haven’t checked the info about the 2017 Labour conference.
I voted for Corbyn and thankfully some things have started to change in the Labour Party since he was elected, but if you think Blair and Blairites have disappeared then it’s you who are wearing the cosy jimjams and rose-tinted spectacles.
Did you vote for Corbyn?

Why are you nit picking?
If there is something you want me to know about, then please paste exactly what you are banging on about. Checking for info can lead to anything leading up to, and after the party conference. I don’t have the time nor patience to look for links to what you are attempting to proove. Feel free to feed me.
You started the convo with an attempt of putting down Labour with a fact of empty title tattle. Where are you going now? I did not mention anything about Blairites, But the man himself. Pointing in the direction of what Corbyn is trying to achieve. So. As you say. They are a barrier to what is being attempted to improve.
As I said.
“I’d rather put my trust in a man that wants change, rather than what we have right now”.
So. Yes I did vote for not only Labour. But to vote for the man himself.
Now. Stop this tittle tattle and get back to knitting.

This very far from nit-picking. Nothing is achieved by slagging off the Tories about things for which Labour is equally guilty. We need to attack the lack of principles in all parties, and then politics might stand a chance of truly serving ordinary people in the future.
Most Labour MPs are still Blairite and anti-Corbyn, so Corbyn has an uphill task. If we are to get a Labour government next time then attacking the right-wing principles of these Labour MPs is probably more important than attacking the Tories.
The revolution being led by Corbyn is about creating a society based on intelligent socialist principles, not mindless insults and criticisms of the Tories on social media. It’s time we all understood that.

I agree with you debs on the neo liberal right in the labour party are still very much at large and I am also aware of a great effort to support the socialist (real) side of labour party (mainly by supporting the neos worst enemy ‘corby’) I of course voted for corby and not so much for labour, similar to shadow it appears,..prior since Blairs second term I had gone to indie…as I didnt think Blair was bad his first term.
Name calling is all part and parcel now, it doesnt take away from the facts that Tory are not conservative they are neo liberal and labour has work to do to send their neos packing home to the tories…(be sure to understand though the conservatives are also at war inside,with facists ,neos and genuine cons ) the cons losing at the mo and that is the point…the socialists in labour are winning not losing)
I am deadly serious about politics (world and Uk) but mainly UK and I can still call maybot a maybot and Blair a b liar …mainly because its a good quick interpretation of what they actualy are but I see your point as not to undermine the seriousness of our countries political termoil of the moment…we all need change and direction and both parties are kinda piss poor….but Corby and the manifesto was the best by miles and miles and miles of what else is/was on offer…,intelligent people can see this clear as day.
