Labour’s vengeful and absurd vendetta, part 151
JVL Introduction
Once again, those who run the Labour Party and abuse the funds of its members, have received a rebuff from the Courts.
Here the Party was attempting to make public normally privileged private correspondence between former Corbyn chief of staff Karie Murphy and her lawyer. Reasons for doing so are obscure and seem entirely vindictive, the Party making no suggestion that the message contained anything incriminating!
As Skwawkbox says, Starmer’s leadership has seen massive payouts and reckless legal efforts in an effort to rubbish the leaked report. Entirely unsuccessfully.
Will the Party learn anything from this latest judicial rebuff? Don’t hold your breath.
And don’t expect a genuine implementation of the Forde Report’s recommendations anytime soon.

It’s part of the bullying and intimidation which is the Labour Right’s modus operandi. They may expensively lose cases but the message is still there that dissent may result in (personally) ruinous litigation. As a method of control they may well consider the costs worthwhile.
Their corrupt sensibilities are making them stupid. At what point will their behaviours become so foolishly destructive that the MSM and indeed the UK will not be able to ignore them? They are a viral disease, slowly destroying the party, consuming it from the inside till there will be nothing left of it. By the time they are done, any chance of this country has of retaining whatever claim to be a functioning democracy, however slight or illusory that already is, will be dead.
I am slightly surprised to see you describe the leaked report as “infamous”. If the report had turned out to be a tissue of lies, then the description might be appropriate. Forde has demonstrated reasonably conclusively that the report is anything but. What is surely infamous is the behaviour of those who should be shouting from the rooftops the findings of the original report, as well as Forde’s conclusions, and instead do everything they can to discredit it; and that includes saying nothing. Inaction in the face of wrongdoing is as damning as the wrong sort of action.
That is Skwawkbox’s use of the word “infamous”. JVL merely reposted their article.
Disgusting mismanagement of the LP y slipper Starmer.
Given that Starmer is a lawyer they must have known that the communications were privileged and could not be viewed. Furthermore once she had left the organisation DPA says they may not keep any personal data; to do so is an offence – and he must know that too. Is he turning into Netanyahu?

“Labour has already admitted that it doesn’t really know – despite spending hundreds of thousands of pounds on forensic investigators – who leaked the report ”
The real question is why was it necessary to leak the report?
Answer: it would not have seen the light of day otherwise.
Seeking the leaker is so often the first move taken by all secretive, unsavoury organisations in order to intimidate future would-be bean-spillers and to avoid that which has been revealed.
Party internal democracy has evaporated in 3 short years, leaving anyone taking a bit of interest (MSM???) in Starmer’s actions knowing that his first priority has always been to destroy the left of the party.
