Cameron Mackintosh - Politics

Politics

In 1998 Mackintosh was named in a list of the biggest private financial donors to the Labour Party (UK), a decision he later claimed to regret, saying: "Labour really fucked it up. They were profligate at a time when we were doing well. That's why we have the problems we have now. They didn't save any money for a rainy day. It couldn't have been worse these last 12 years."
