2) Behind Labour received many requests to look at Teddy Ryan, because of his central role in the #ItWasAScam hostile takeover of the Labour Party. Actioned with cash, logistical support, direction and encouragement from the right wing of the U.S. Democrat Party... shocking!
3) Ryan works as the South East Regional Director, out of their London-based office (yes we thought that was sad as well), after working underneath his partner Hollie Ridley in the East Of England Region. He makes MANY lofty claims about his achievements on his public profile.

Our first investigation has looked into "The Campaign Company", the private company that now effectively runs the Labour Party.

This company was set up by Jonathan Upton, and David Evans after their roles in the Labour Party came to an end. Upton was formerly Head Of Corporate Development under Tony Blair, whilst Evans was the Assistant General Secretary. Image
Upton is still involved in the company, but on an associate basis. In 2011 he attempted to establish in #Afghanistan a local Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) called Afghanistan Electoral Reform and Civil Advocacy (AERCA). Image
