Labour Together – destroying evidence

JVL Introduction

Labour Together – ‘the think tank that made Keir Starmer’ hired APCO (“a global advisory and advocacy firm helping clients navigate a complex world and create a lasting impact”) to investigate journalists as part of the campaign to smear journalists who reported on the £700,000+ in funding that was not declared, used to fund Keir Starmer’s  campaign to be Labour leader.

The APCO lead on the Labour Together project instructed a freelancer to destroy the evidence of this investigation and this has now been reported to the Serious Fraud Office.  John McDonnell raised this issue in the House of Commons and he also referred to the destructive role of Labour Together in the April 20th parliamentary debate on the appointment and vetting of Peter Mandelson.

It is also worth noting that in all the interest in the Peter Mandelson affair, not once has the legacy media interviewed Paul Holden who wrote a whole book (The Fraud) on the work of Labour Together and the role of Peter (I am working every day to destroy Corbyn) Mandelson. There are probably more aspects of Labour Together to investigate, questioning why and how it has been able to have so much influence in a supposed democracy. Mean while John McDonnell has called for an Inquiry into the destruction of evidence and the impact on journalists. (video of him speaking in parliament is posted within the article below)
