He was labour up until the point when he got his peerage when he told them to stick it
Much cheaper than buying one from the tories one suspects

Sugar joined Labour in 1997, Gordon Brown made him a life peer in 2009, Sugar quit Labour in 2015 claiming New Labour was changing back into Old Labour (shortly before the election of the anti-Semite Jeremy Corbyn as party leader),
but don't let facts get in the way of your prejudice.

You're the one bringing his ethnicity into it love
He reckoned he left because they weren't "pro-business" enough.

Yes, all business people loved Corbyn-era Labour and campaigned for them to be elected.
Much in the same way the tories control the BBC's light entertainment department.

Ah yes, he quit because of Corbyn
Before Corbs had been elected by the party membership or nominated by the requisite number of MPs or had even announced he was standing. A chain of events that was seen as improbable or vanishingly unlikely at the time.
Alan Sugar, in a twist nobody could have foreseen, went on to endorse Boris Johnson and post some dubious stuff about black footballers on twitter. What a journey.

You said he "was labour up until the point when he got his peerage when he told them to stick it"
but the facts don't support that argument. Deliberately misunderstanding my argument (which is a generous reading of your responses) does not make your false statement true.

Literally you're the one who did that.
I mentioned that Corbyn was an anti-Semite, which is true beyond any shadow of doubt.
I said Sugar claimed "New Labour was changing back into Old Labour" then mentioned future leader Corbyn in brackets. The election of Corbyn proved Sugar's theory, you see.
But jump on the race issue by all means, that's a line of discussion that will end well for you I'm sure.
