Exposing the Labour Right 🥀✊🇵🇸

The morally bankrupt Trump administration has partnered with another morally bankrupt authoritarian to declare an unprovoked war on Iran, already killing scores of civilians.

We need an immediate vote from Congress on a War Powers Resolution. Then articles of impeachment.

Josh Simons reported journalists to GCHQ falsely claiming they were a security risk.
Why?
Because they were reporting on Labour Together's financial irregularities. 🥀

To be clear, I'm still doubtful that the numbers are as high as the extrapolation by Democracy Volunteers suggests.
But some prevenattive measures and education wouldn't hurt.

Yes, seems like any helping or dealing with confusion should be done by the presiding officer.
Even the leader of a council seems confused about the rules?
It would be interesting to hear from presiding officers on the topic. What's the best way to prevent this going forward?

Yes, they extrapolated from a v small number.
It's provided fuel for the far right.
I think they have been irresponsible in their handling of it, but observing elections in itself isn't a bad thing.
The data cld have been used as a starting point to make improvements but instead we have a binfire

2. annoyed that they didn't report it to them while it was happening. They had just 4 volunteers.
A bit of public education about not conferring in the booth might be helpful perhaps but the far right loudmouths want to create a moral panic it seems.

1. They have permission from the Electoral Commission.
One one hand they admit that they cannot tell if coercion is happening or not, on the other they are pushing the idea that it's a phenomenon more likely in 'Middle Eastern and South Asian communities'. The council seem rightly

Spencer's majority is so massive, I don't think anyone can realistically claim it made a difference, even if it happened.
It's a great opportunity to spread fear and suspicion about Muslims and the left simultaneously, so the press and Reform love it.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-kent-32754332 "A former council leader photographed standing next to an elderly constituent in a polling booth during the election insists she "did nothing wrong". The picture of Thanet Labour councillor Iris Johnston was taken in Margate by her defeated Conservative rival candidate Paul Messenger. "It concerned me that Iris was actually going into the voting area, right up to the booth, with this lady," he said. Mrs Johnston said she had been given permission to help the frail lady vote. "I did nothing wrong. The presiding officer and the staff nodded me through, and the only comment made was that I shouldn't mark the papers, and of course I wouldn't."

This is a Labour councillor helping a woman to vote in the election in which she was a candidate (in May 2015). I'm told Iris Johnson was on the Labour right.
She said she had permission from the voter.
The BBC article suggests rules require written permission to accompany a voter in the booth.

Not sure.
Coercion in the polling booth shld be prevented, but what they observed isn't itself evidence of coercion and I'm not at all sure about their extrapolations.
The insinuation that patriarchal socially conservative Muslims forced wives to vote for a woman in a party led by a gay man is odd

Ex-Tory turned Ukip MP is convicted of electoral fraud after tricking elderly voters into signing nomination forms daily mail, 1st Dec 2017. https://archive.ph/yMrna

While we're on the topic of electoral fraud and the unproven allegations about #FamilyVoting, we should remember that there are actual proven cases of Tory / UKIP politicians stealing votes by tricking the elderly in care homes.

https://labourrightwatch.wordpress.com/2026/02/09/how-asset-managers-and-private-equity-dominate-labour/ What does all the lobbying from these groups achieve?Well, in September 2025 it emerged that private equity carry-over tax was raised from 28% to 34% – rather than the 45% promised in Labour’s manifesto, following pressure from the private equity lobby. Reeves had previously promised to close a tax loophole in which “private equity bosses who strip the assets of British businesses pay a lower rate of tax on their bonuses than workers do on their wages”; the decision to allow this to continue was described as private equity scoring “a huge Labour tax climbdown“.

How can this Labour government be making fair decisions when they are so embedded with global asset managers and the private equity lobby? 🥀 https://labourrightwatch.wordpress.com/2026/02/09/how-asset-managers-and-private-equity-dominate-labour/

Equitix have almost £14 billion in assets under management and their portfolio consists of social infrastructure such as hospitals, transport and renewable energy. They are a client of lobbying firm Teneo, where MP Georgia Gould‘s husband, Alex Zatman, is currently a director. Labour MPs that have previously worked as lobbyists for Teneo include Steve Race and Andrew Lewin. Other clients of Teneo include Santander, Serendipity Capital, Lloyd’s, Edinburgh World Investment Trust (owned by Baillie Gifford), and Clayton, Dubilier and Rice (the US private equity firm that bought out Morrisons in a debt-fuelled takeover in 2021). Lord Spencer Livermore, who is currently Financial Secretary to the Treasury, was a Director at Teneo from 2009 to 2015. Finance lobbyist The Investment Association was a client of Teneo’s in 2015, possibly overlapping with Livermore’s time at the firm. Read more about Lord Livermore in point 65.

He has been through the revolving door multiple times, previously working at lobbying firm Teneo (see point 36) who have private equity and asset manager clients. He has also worked for McKinsey and Saatchi & Saatchi. Whilst in his recent government role, he has participated in events set up by bankers and investors, such as a ‘capital markets’ event hosted by UK Finance and arranged by the UK CEO of JP Morgan in which he “discussed with the Board how the financial services sector can work with the government to successfully deliver the growth mission, Industrial Strategy and the Financial Services Growth and Competitiveness Strategy.” Another event hosted by EY (Ernst & Young) was described in glowing terms by one of EY’s partners on Linkedin. He enthused that the event discussed how “the Government can help businesses seize” the “biggest growth opportunities”, that “public-private collaboration is vital” and “close and consistent collaboration between policymakers and businesses is essential to fine-tune policies and drive economic momentum.” The post was reposted by Lord Livermore. The event was attended by guests “from leading UK businesses.”

It's all about giving your former clients a more amenable regulatory environment and a slice of the social infrastructure pie. The investor class profit while they asset strip.

Yes I enjoyed it a lot 😂

Long list of Starmer sins ruling out a wealth tax donations from private health investors govt by BlackRock conspiring with Lindsay Hoyle to block a vote on Gaza selling off Royl mail Digital ID Lord Alli gifts Palantir island of strangers speech jailing protesters Binyam Mohamed Gaza genocide denial arming Israel eroding trial by jury

If you think Starmer is short on sins, maybe you just don't pay attention to current affairs

Labour have doing this crap as well though.
Talking about 'sectarianism' to make Muslim voting choices sound sinister.
Starmer said immigration has done "incalculable damage" to the UK fgs.

Israeli authorities have unleashed a series of unlawful measures such as land registration, that are deliberately designed to dispossess Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, incl. East Jerusalem, and to make the annexation of the territory an irreversible reality 🍉

Happy Birthday to the Labour Party? 😬

‘Global Counsel was prepared to provide all the emails to the government or the police but did not receive any requests to do so before going into administration last week. The emails and electronic devices are now in the hands of administrators.’ 8/

Peter Mandelson's business emails have vanished, lobbying firm admits 'Significant batch of messages from peer's account with Global Counsel, the company he founded but which has now gone into administration, have gone missing

I'm sure there's an innocent explanation for this.

Labour came third 🤷‍♀️

oh dear.
Has he read the room yet?

Labour's deceptive tactical choice leaflet (showing Labour first and Greens third on 28%) and the actual result in Gorton and Denton - Greens first with 41%, Labour third with 25%.

Tactical Choice? 🤔🤔

Two imges, one on top og the other. Top one, labelled '1999' shows a laughing Mandelson and "they have nowhere else to go" in quotes. Second image is labelled '2026' and shows an abject Mandelson abou to get in a car outside his house as he is about to be arrested.

I guess we now have somewhere else to go. 🥀

This victory is so sweet 💚

I think you'll find his name is Matt Badloss.
