Right wing think tank set to ‘expand network’ into Labour Party

8 months ago

Aright-wing think tank has said it will be “expanding its network” into the Labour Party and will announce one of its peers as a patron in the coming weeks. Speaking at a Labour Party Conference fringe event in Liverpool, Duncan Simpson, executive director of the Adam Smith Institute (ASI), said it had been interested by some of Labour’s new policies. A Labour MP has called the announcements “concerning” and said the peer – who is yet to be named – should “think twice” about working with the organisation, which does not declare its UK funders and received the lowest possible transparency rating in openDemocracy’s ‘Who funds you?’ project. Speaking at the ‘Growing into power?’ event, Simpson said Labour’s planning reform announcement had been looked on positively by the think tank. He did not name the peer it is set to partner with, but said it would be making an announcement in the next few weeks.
