"5% of our funding has come from him (Lord Ashcroft)."

Not in your target seats, it hasn't. It's been considerably more.

"Why do they (the unions) do that, what do they want and what did they get."

They know their members get a better deal from a Labour government - e.g. the national minimum wage. The unions gave birth to the Labour Party - they are part of our heritage - why should we be ashamed? You could ask the same question of Lord Ashcroft - what does he want and what does he get for bankrolling the Tories?

"I was sure I lost but scraped through by 22 in Hobbayne. I must be doing something right."

Don't flatter yourself. You won because you came higher up in the alphabetical listing of candidates than Rosa Popham and Gerry Saravana-Wall. It's what psephologists call "Name Order Effect", and it relates to the fact that some voters in multi-member wards mistakenly believe they have only one vote: their tendency is to place their single cross in the first box they come to when they read down the list searching for their preferred party. Otherwise, why do you think Eileen Harris and Justin Anderson were the only Tory candidates to prevail in Mandeville and Perivale respectively? Only a candidate with a strong personal vote - like Ray Wall - can buck this trend.

"Labour were in power for 13 years and could have stopped non doms making party political donations. they didn't because they have their own non doms who have given millions to them. Mittal, Cohen and paul to name but a few."

Mittal, Cohen and Paul did not have their own offices at Labour HQ, whereas Ashcroft was based at Tory Central Office and ran your party's target seats strategy. Didn't he also promise to domicile himself in the UK when he assumed his seat in the House of Lords? Another broken Tory promise.
