Down the 'Leavers of Britain' Rabbit Hole... a live thread: We believe that Leavers of Britain is an astroturf group, probably linked to Matt Elliott and or Steve Baker.
So the Leavers of Britain website makes it seem like a nice and fluffy grassroots organisation. But it is a company, registered at Companies House beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/113943…
Leavers of Britain Registered office address
72 Albert Street, London, England, NW1 7NB. When we put this address into google, *Labour Leave* came up?
LABOUR LEAVE LIMITED Company number 08444905 was based at a very similar sounding address - 72 Albert Street London NW1 7NR beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/084449…
Another company, LABOUR FOR BRITAIN LIMITED Company number 08405117 was based at 72 Albert Street London NW1 7NR beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/084051…
Seems awfully close, almost as if someone was trying to throw us off the scent...
So these organisations, what do they have in common? One John Mills
Look at all these groups he has been involved in - all either based at 72 Albert Street or 19 Luddenham Close.
VOTE LEAVE LTD: John Mills was involved, as was Matt Elliott beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/097852…
This is interesting.
But more interesting is this 'POLITICS AND ECONOMICS RESEARCH TRUST' Company number 05982645 - look at the names involved beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/059826…
Brendan Chilton has been a strong supporter of Leavers of Britain:
Mr Chilton has been involved in several companies - note the overlap with John Mills companies we mentioned earlier: beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/officers/91i89…
Summary (Part one) it appears to us that John Mills and Matt Elliott have been producing eurosceptic groups like they are going out of fashion, usually centered around either the 72 Albert Street address or the 19 Luddenham Close address. Leavers of Britain looks like the latest.
Summary (Part Three) given Lucy Harris' background as a corporate communications executive, it is likely she was headhunted to run Leavers for Britain to counter the growing pro-EU #FBPE movement.
Summary (Part Two) Well spoken and well presented, Ms Harris has appeared on reports by AFP, the BBC, SKY etc. She has often presented herself (or been presented as) just an ordinary pro-leave London resident.
Summary (Part Four) something fishy is definitely going on - we smell Astroturfing. @VictoriaLIVE #VictoriaLIVE should dis invite her until a thorough investigation has been held by their production team @vicderbyshire @BBCTwo / End
