The irony is palpable.
Not only have Saatchi & Saatchi given Labour £322,605 in the second quarter – in kind – but they have given the party a total of £893,739 in free adverts since they started working for them in the autumn of 2008.
S&S are most famous, of course, for their “Labour isn’t working” posters from decades ago. (Perhaps more memorable than the recent ‘Not Flash, Just Gordon’ slogan.)
