The Labour right wing in all their glory, from Mandelson to McSweeney. The staffers, the lobbyists, the revolving door. See how they lobby for privateer corporations, cash in via disaster capitalism etc 🥀 ❉ labourrightwatch.wordpress.com ❉

The plan is to suspend the normal rules of capitalism and bailout inefficient companies by forcing households and businesses to pay more. Those rules are not suspended to help people.

1. Who are the Labour Housing Group? They say they are a “Socialist Society" and "care about housing and homelessness”. But they accept donations from an organisation representing the most exploitative and profit-driven "land barons", and LHG's execs are a country mile away from being socialist.

3. Chris Worrall was also on the Executive Committee until 2025, when he switched sides and defected to the Conservative Party. It turns out Worrall's views are very right wing.👇 He has also been working for land promoters and private equity real estate the whole time he was central to the LHG. 🤷‍♀️

You post with utter confidence, as if your take is gospel 🤯 1. Labour have a giant majority now, if they want to enact PR, they shld just do it. After next GE, they could face a reduced majority so it's illogical to dangle it in this way, telling voters they'll get 'jam tomorrow'. 2. Just because

Just wanted to highlight again the utter slipperiness of Lord Walney, and that he (and the Israel and arms lobby that he is part of) will never tolerate any tiny gesture of peace, and will twist the facts shamelessly to smear anyone who doesn't toe the line. Here, for once, a presenter pushed back.

Arms lobbyist Lord Walney warns against diplomacy with Iran. Not as much profit in peace.

Maybe it was a bad idea for Labour (Keir Starmer and Jonathan Reynolds) to sell Royal Mail off to a Czech oligarch?

Royal Mail losing 400 postal workers a week, says union. Fewer workers lead to more pressure on those remaining. Low morale. Parcels prioritised over letter delivery. Letter delivery targets not met even when lowered, prices hiked. Can RM survive?

All of these military experts that have been wheeled out to insist that defence spending must rise and welfare must be cut (often with feverish scare-mongering) are on the payroll of at least one defence firm. The only one that isn't goes on luxury ski breaks with them.

Nothing, if past experience is anything to go by. They have friends in high places. Occasionally, some hapless person or an about to retire person is blamed, paid off and it is business as usual. No big accounting firm is pristine. Puny fines and feather-duster regulation has never deterred them.

Polymarket really started years earlier as another company called TokenBnk that was deeply tied to Israeli interests, specifically a crypto company founded by Benjamin Netanyahu's niece and nephew.

“A former Google executive and Great Britain rower has been confirmed as the BBC’s new director-general, The Times can reveal. … The decision to appoint a tech executive with no direct experience of television journalism marks a significant shift for the BBC.”

Anthony Watson, the CEO of this dodgy crypto clearing house (the Bank of London) was a donor to three Labour MPs: 💰 Liz Kendall, £3,500 💰 Angela Eagle, £10,000 💰 Maria Eagle, £2,000 And Mandelson was a former director. Interesting that the company got such a small fine.

Prem Sikka@premnsikka.bsky.social

Bank of London fined paltry £2m for filing fake documents with regulator to conceal its financial position. Fine reduced from £12m because that "would cause serious financial hardship." Peter Mandelson was a director until 2024. No exec fined/prosecuted. One law for us, another for them.
