This is where the election will be won for Labour and that is why I am making a donation to all 106 campaigns . 'As one of our key seat candidates you know better than most the scale of the challenge we face , but I have every confidence that with your drive , determination and organisational skills , you will deliver a successful local campaign that will also see our party returned to government .
