    Labour Party faces bankruptcy with £20m debt

    Labour former deputy prime minister John Prescott has warned his party faces bankruptcy if it cannot tackle its £20m of debt.

    Lord Prescott, who hopes to become Labour's new treasurer, made the claim at the Scottish Parliament's annual Festival of Politics.

    He said membership of the party was falling dramatically and called for limits on political parties' spending.

    It is interesting that the solution proposed is to ban other parties from spending their donations.

    It's the socialist way. If one person is too stupid to do something, no one should be allowed to do it.
