The Spying Game

The #LabourFiles reveal the depth of internal warfare and dirty tricks that were used by the party instead of being good politicians who are representing the needs of people.

A smear campaign from within Labour removed Corbyn as leader.
Even the mildest forms of dissent are not allowed under Starmer, an incident in London in 2021 shows how he deals with dissent.

The @InsideCroydon news site was illegally hacked and details of whistleblowers were publicly leaked.

#LabourFiles
Labour passed a motion banning councillors from talking to the press - so that debate takes place on the pages of InsideCroydon.

Victims of the hack were people who'd come to the Steven Downes in good faith and he felt the hack very hard both.

#LabourFiles
Croydon's #LabourParty did not inform the police instead asking the party whether it can be used to disciplining its members. The party agrees it can be done - party informer #RuthBannister was keen on personal anonymity.

Then the disciplinary process began.

#LabourFiles
A former head of enforcement at Britain's data watchdog, Mick Gorril, points out Labour has violated fairness and accountability.

The hacked info even went to Steve Reed, Shadow Justice Minister, who raised no concerns about its illegality.

#LabourFiles
David White had been in the #LabourParty his entire life, he believed in doing the right thing. Yet on the basis of hacked data unsubstantiated claims are made and he's purged from the party.

Steve Reed, Starmer's Justice Minister, took a particular interest in him

#LabourFiles
Senior party members seemed eager to remove #DavidWhite including the head of legal affairs.
White had highlighted the lack of democracy in the party and they way members were purged.

As a result he too was purged without being allowed to have a hearing.

#LabourFiles
When Jerry Fitzpatrick, a former lawyer, takes over the disciplinary cases in Croydon he speaks out.

The #LabourFiles reveal his concerns at the illegality of the behaviour at the heart of Labour.

He informs the Labour leadership that the evidence is "stolen goods".
However for the editor of Inside Croydon the story was not over.

He came to realise his emails had been hacked and copies BCC'd to various Labour politicians.

Jerry Fitzpatrick asks the Labour leadership if they need to inform the police of this hack.

#LabourFiles
The #LabourFiles reveal that Fitzpatrick does not receive a reply.

Labour councillor #AndrewPelling who was then purged after Fitzpatrick's email asks:

"If there is a party that condones ... hacking of the press, what are they going to do when they are a nation government?"

In 1947 the #UnitedNations voted to partition Palestine, there followed a war and a land grab by Zionists forces.

The Palestinian village of #Tantura was emptied of its inhabitants as victorious Zionist forces swept into the area, massacred its people but enjoyed their property.
Israeli army veterans openly admit what they did.

"A state is seized by the sword"
"We killed them .... without remorse"
"If you killed you did a good thing"
"I was willing to kill because that's how I was raised"

#Tantura
#PalestinianLivesMatter

Corbyn had a vision of a more inclusive party - however he was replaced by the old guard and Starmer was installed as leader.

Marcia Hutchinson, a former Labour Councillor said:
"I faced more racism in the Labour Party than I have in the rest of my life combined."

Hutchinson who received an MBE from the Queen reveals how other members of the Labour Party were discriminated against under Starmer's Leadership.

The #LabourFile reveal the astonishing depth of dirty tricks, hatred and racism by Labour staff who removed Corbyn as leader.

These operatives secretly took over the Labour Party, installed #Starmer as leader in place of Corbyn and purged the party of members they didn't like
The #LabourFiles show how left-wing Labour members were stalked, watched and threated.

Particularly targeted were minority members of the party, the media fed this poisonousness atmosphere which meant #Corbyn had little time for them - something they also used against him.
Corbyn devoted his life to anti-racism but when he becomes leader the media combined to claim he is a racist. It disabled him as a potential PM but these claims were based on lies and distortions.

Starmer, Corbyn's successor, benefited from these allegation.
