Why are Tony Blair and Alastair Campbell involved in efforts to lower the voting age to 16?
Essentially a longer version with images

"He will never take credit for it, but Alastair Campbell helped me set up @MyLifeMySay 11 years ago and has since opened so many doors that has enabled so many opportunities for young people."

Correction: He USED you to access the youth vote.

I haven’t finished writing up everything I know about Led by Donkeys yet.
Rough list so far:
- They are all past or present Greenpeace employees
- Keir Starmer prepared their defence in 2008 (when two of them scaled the Kingsnorth Power station in Kent, as part of a Greenpeace protest). They won
- They helped create and publicise the Covid Memorial Wall
- James Sadri was co-Director of Team Halo, a vaccine uptake programme sponsored by the U.K. government, Bill Gates, the UN, among others
- Sadri once worked for the UN and BBC
- Sadri promoted BBC Verify about vaccine uptake. There’s a UN Verify. I believe BBC Verify is the UK’s UN Verify
- Sadri links to Palestine activism
- Led by Donkeys work with German activists on anti-Musk stuff
- German activists hate the AfD (the German political party that wants to leave the EU)
- Elon Musk supported the AfD and Reform (who are also anti-EU)
- anti-EU sentiment is the REAL reason why Led by Donkeys and German activists targeted Musk: aka it’s about Musk threatening the integrity of the EU
- Soros is the biggest funder of pro-EU/ anti-Brexit activism. He also gets subsidies from the EU
- Led by Donkeys has advertised with Global (which produces LBC, News Agents and owns all the tube advertising)
- Carol Vorderman did a voiceover for Led by Donkeys and worked/ works for Global (LBC)

There’s even more than this.

“Just four blokes who met in a pub” 😉
I accidentally posted the first tweet twice btw - one version has more links.

Eg. The European Commission was part of “The Vaccine Confidence Project” with Sadri, the UN, WEF, others. Among other things, it helps reinforce the link between Led by Donkeys and the EC. Image
More in Common is the other significant link. It’s also funded by Soros among others. James Sadri is in its report from 2020:
