Starmer's Labour cronies securing their OWN safe seats?

Right, so how do you fancy having Israel Lobbyist and Labour fixer Luke Akehurst as your next MP? How do you - if you are still involved with Labour in a local Constituency Labour Party - fancy having him or another member of the Labour National Executive Committee right wing, the sort of people who have barred socialist candidates from standing, rigged and imposed other candidates to represent Labour across the country, now be imposed on you and you will be expected to go out and campaign for them? Well it is apparently happening.
After throwing any semblance of democracy out of the window to impose Starmerroid candidates upon various corners of the country, removing the say of local members, they being told to put up or shut or there is the door, but don’t forget to still vote for us at the same time, it seems some select seats have been kept aside for some members of the NEC themselves. Jobs for the boys so to speak, rewards for services rendered, nice safe seats and very much putting party before country when local members have no say and being safe seats, almost guaranteed to be making laws we all have to abide by should Labour win a majority. As authoritarian as they have been within Labour, that looks set to roll out nationwide with Starmer as PM.
Right, so when Keir Starmer stood up the other day and called himself a socialist and a progressive many of us I’m sure either laughed at the article or swore at it, because there are Starmer lies and there are Starmer lies and this one was a whopper. Socialists have been purged, and if his stance on Gaza and having a manifesto basically copying the Tories homework is progressive, then we need far more radical change than I ever realised. It is of course a lie, he’s a red Tory providing cover for Israel, who got where is by lying his way to the top and now he wants to get elected by lying some more and it’s because those lies have never been challenged adequately in the media that he has got away with it, but a reckoning lies before him if he gets his way, gets where his ambitions want to take him, because the only place he can go from there is to fall.
But in the same speech, he also swore to put country before party. Now many of us have asked well, which country would that be, this one or Israel because I wouldn’t bet money on it being this one and now with news that some of the final imposed candidates on luckless Constituency Labour Party’s are set to be right wing members, Starmer loyalists of the Labour Party NEC, set to be handed safe seats of varying sort or another, soon these people who have been handing down draconian rulings, suspensions and expulsions in the Labour Party, will be gifted a position where should Starmer win the keys to Number 10, they’ll be making laws governing the entire country, the UK being run like Starmer runs Labour now, with an authoritarian hardline rod of iron, the likes of which we may never have seen before. Give Labour and Starmer a majority at your peril.
The news of these impositions has come via former Channel 4 reporter Michael Crick’s Tomorrow’s MP’s Twitter account and he made the very salient point that if Starmer is stuffing cronies such as these into the House of Commons, what will it look like when it comes to stuffing the House of Lords with more and how rough will they be – I’m paraphrasing there – so much for abolishing the Lords though eh?
Crick has called it the final big selection fix, because he knows exactly how things are being conducted in Starmer’s regime and currently there are 11 safe Labour seats by his reckoning that still need to be filled and in line with that postulation regarding the House of Lords, more are being sought, by soliciting sitting MPs who might be interested in retiring in exchange for a seat in the House of Lords. Making room for even more imposed cronies virtually guaranteed under First Past The Post, to get elected. If you think Starmer would abolish a voting system that is enabling him to rig the future government like this, you’ve got another think coming.
So who is in the frame then? Crick has furnished us with a list of names and there are several from Labour’s current iteration of the NEC appearing on it.
Let’s start with Luke Akehurst though. Who fancies this guy as an MP. Akehurst is a guy who couldn’t even win selection for the NEC from his own local party in Oxford, he was reliant on right wing support from elsewhere to get where he is, so those who know him best, are the ones you’d likely best take note of. I’ve spoken of Akehurst in numerous videos. He is above all else an Israel lobbyist, He is the Director of We Believe in Israel, a promotional organ for Israel here in the UK, in fact the blurb on the We Believe in Israel website describes him as a Zionist activist and in a recent LabourList article, claimed councillors quitting Labour over Israel and Gaza, as they are in droves around the country, something else would be Labour voters ought take notice of, are misguided and should stay instead. Misguided? He penned that article on the 24th October last year, that was 5 days after the targeting of the Greek Orthodox Church of St Porphyrios, which killed dozens sheltering and was arguably one of the first attacks which had the world sit up and think hang on a minute, something is wrong here and of course in the months since, we’ve now seen so much more happen, so much categorically worse than that church attack which at time, was really shocking. Misguided he says. This guy makes Starmer look like he’s sitting on the fence over Israel.
He's also a fixer within Labour, being a director of the right wing Labour To Win faction and Secretary of Labour First – really on the nose when Starmer is trying to tell us it is country first, yet looks set to impose Akehurst, reviled by so many Labour members as he is, in a safe seat somewhere, but unlike others on this Crick list, there’s no indication of where that might be and when Crick asked Akehurst if he was looking for a safe seat, he didn’t deny it.
Akehurst is just one NEC name here though.
James Asser is currently the Chairman of the NEC and the Deputy Mayor of Newham, a London Borough that has seen a succession of local by election defeats and defections, losing all of the above to the newly formed Newham Independents Group, Newham has been solidly Labour for years, yet in recent months history has been made as Labour lost local council seats to independents in Tahir Mirza and Sophia Naqvi, both formerly Labour themselves, unable to stomach the direction the party has gone in. Now both are standing for parliament, for East Ham and West Ham respectively, and Crick has Asser’s name linked to West Ham right now, despite the incumbent MP, Lyn Brown, still as far as I’m aware, standing for re-election. So is she one being offered a seat in the Lords? Who knows?
Another NEC member on Crick’s list is Gurinder Singh Josan, not only an NEC member but another Labour First figure as well, so a mate of Akehurst. He’s a former Sandwell Councillor, a West Midlands patch regarded as a plaything of the Labour right for a long time, one notable example involving Josan was the allegations of bullying a blind party member by him and also having worked with local Tories to bring down a Muslim Labour councillor. Josan is also a board member of HOPE not Hate, supposedly to stand against racism therefore, but has often viewed as one of the perpetrators of false accusations thereof. His name has been attached to the Smethwick constituency, a new seat, having previously been abolished back in 1974, boundary changes are bringing it back. Ironically since this seat is taking in the entirety of the soon to be abolished constituency of Warley, where the incumbent MP, the right wing John Spellar is retiring, ironically Josan might still count as a lurch to the left!
Other names Crick has put forward as Labour preferential candidates include Josh Simons, the director of Labour Together, the right wing Labour grouping representing MPs like Wes Streeting and Lisa Nandy, which counts amongst their board the ever pervasive Zionist Labour donor Trevor Chinn, who also financed Keir Starmer’s leadership campaign. He also featured in a video of mine from yesterday sharing a platform with anti Muslim journalist Melanie Phillips, as she went again attacked Muslims within Labour.
And another is Gerard Coyne, who these days tends to go by Ged Coyne, presumably to hide from his serial losses in trying to take over the Unite Union. Some real peaches there too.
Safe seats for awful people, but very much Starmer’s sort. Party before country, socialist my foot, authoritarianism, well they’ve been part of it haven’t they? A vote for Labour is a vote for the country to be run as this lot have been running Labour. A dictatorship in waiting and frankly as we see Starmer welcome in so many Tories to the party, it’s little wonder he feels so comfortable doing so, when he has surrounded himself by people who are little better. These people are everything Labour shouldn’t be about, everything wrong with Labour these days, and this video recommendation will offer up another example of that, involving our old friend Luke Akehurst, and the appalling comments he’s made against a former Jewish member of Labour and I’ll hopefully catch you on the next vid. Cheers folks.
