My 3rd thread on who else might be involved with the Laurence Fox Party.

Some clues are in the first follows of its new Twitter feed.

My guess is Reclaim will have its first Parliamentarian as soon as the party officially launches in November:

Lady Claire Regina Fox

Looza
Darren Grimes
Peter Whittle
Titania McGrath
Claire Fox
Calvin Robinson

I’ve been looking at some of the people behind Lozza ‘Loser’ Fox & his new party.

The 1st thread looked at his PR company of mostly ex-Telegraph staffers, to show that they - not he - should be taken seriously

But this 2nd one is a comic tale

A rom-com even

Or in this case, Darren Selkus.

Former soldier, businessman, & failed Brexit Party candidate.

A man it’s hard to take seriously. Image

We laugh at Lozza ‘Loser’ Fox but we’ll have to take this seriously, I’m afraid.

Not him. Those behind him.

He’s just a figurehead.

The expertise, experience & contacts too.

But who are they?

Some are trying to use sex assault victims to criticise Keir Starmer.

In fact he’s been their champion.

Learning from the failings of Rochdale, Savile & Warboys, he changes CPS rules.

Issuing “guidelines making clear that we had to abandon the notion of the “model” victim and do justice for real victims”

1./

In 2018, some on the right disgracefully tried to smear Keir Starmer, then Shadow Brexit Secretary, using the Warboys case. They were wrong and had to retract.

Sadly, some on the left are now repeating those old smears to try to score points today.

Please read & RT 2./

It’s a distressing, emotive case:

The police were found guilty of bungling the initial investigation, refusing to believe those reporting assault. The police appealed, unsuccessfully, supported by then Home Secretaries May and Rudd: Image
