Clem Attlee and his Cabinet colleagues didn't make millions when they retired so what did they do wrong ?

These old and genuine Labour Party men and women retired with a very moderate amount of money. What a difference between them and Labour Party members Blair and Mandelson and many others who have lined their pockets thanks to being in office,no wonder the Labour Party is now so discredited as a 'socialist' party.

Update:

Trish that's a good answer since Blair and the rest smothered any finer instincts they ever had in the pursuit of making every penny they could out of the time they were in office

    This was back in the day when the Labour Party was genuinely for the working man and run by genuine working people.

    Brown, Milliband, Balls, Harman and co are hypocritical champagne quaffing socialists who even if they did not ever enter parliament would need to do a days graft in their lives.

    They are opportunists being propped up by the "School Tie" Union magnates,Mum and Dads estates and wealthy foreign backers.

    People really really should look at the Labour hierachy!!
