So the #Tories are considering a campaign that attacks the #LabourParty for being 'union puppets'... you'd think they'd want to leave that issue alone wouldn't you given the ample evidence that the Tories are dancing to the tune of a select group of backers in #financialservices & the ultra-rich... as they say 'people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones', but of course the Tory-backing press will likely lap it up - #whofundsyou may become a wider campaign than just #thinktanks!
