Because David Evans paid for it?

Advertising isn't endorsement

Have mumsnet declared they are politically neutral? And if they have as long as they run adverts from other parties if the other parties pay them thats fine.

Well yes of course - but in terms of the site being political neutral would have thought they would avoid taking political ads.

Or maybe mumsnet isn't political neutral. Newspapers aren't.

Will be interesting to see if other parties also dip into their campaign funds and have an ad, I suppose.

Lets hope that Labour in thinking mumsnet is a target group have read the mumsnet manifesto.

(As an ad its just so effing huge I felt I was being shouted at!)

Presumably because labour have paid for it! Mumsnet has no responsibility to be politically neutral.

the Labour Party paid for the advert. There are adverts all over this site.

Presumably because they've paid for it, an option open to all parties.

This.

It will be a paid advert

MN is a commercial media business which makes money by selling advertising to its customers, just like a newspaper does. In this case, the Labour Party is the customer, they are paying for the advertising space so we, the users see the advert.
