The last couple of weeks have seen a sharp rise in the number of online readers of the Weekly Worker - up by over a thousand compared to previously. The last seven days saw another increase (of well over 200) to 3,917. Could this be connected to our coverage of the ‘anti-Semitism’ row in the Labour Party?

And I’m pleased to report that this was also reflected in the number of readers who made an online donation via PayPal - there were five of them, ranging from HJ’s fiver to PL’s £25, with NW adding his usual £20 and both YG and DF giving £10.

Talking of our Labour Party coverage, FT commends us on our “clear position” on the latest smears and, to show she means it, adds an extra £20 to her annual subscription. For his part, CJ donated a brilliant £50 by cheque.

Finally there were the standing orders - exactly £150 came from nine of those since last week, including from RK and GD (£25 each), DV (£20) and NR (£18). All of which helped to boost our May fund by £280, taking our running total up to £568.

But we need to consolidate April’s success by hitting our £1,750 target once again this month, and there are less than three weeks to go. Please play your part in ensuring we get there.
