Labour staff breached party rules and legal duties by surreptitiously enabling the election of rivals of party candidates.

The party and its agents therefore breached its contract, duties and promises with members and its non-contractual pact with the voting public of the UK to try to get voted into government to put its manifesto into effect.

At stake is the democratic principle of party politics underlying the country’s social cohesion and integrity, namely that you have a choice of parties in a contest for power.

On the evidence, arguably a different government should have been in position ever since June 2017, the 2019 general election should not have occurred, and the enactment of the result of the EU referendum should have been done in a different manner.

The subversion of democracy that apparently has taken place is rather like gamblers getting a goalie to let in his team’s opponent’s goals.

Some who should have been MPs of some years' standing and others who have a story about 2017 to tell may be able to join the claim.

A dispassionate judgment will restore public confidence and get politics back on track.

The present position is that after 10 written decisions, mostly by Lord and Lady Justices in the Court of Appeal, including the Vice President, the court has refused to let the case got to trial.

Counsel will now prepare advice on an application to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) on the basis that the wrong case was rejected by the High Court and the wrong appeal was rejected by the Court of Appeal.

In simple terms, the right to have the actual case heard has been obstructed. In addition a decision that the party had deployed excessive legal resources to intimidate claimants has not been reflected fully in the costs due to be paid. Counsel will apply to lower the cost liability in full.

ECHR will be told that the High Court wrongly considered a claim against party officers personally based on their contracts of employment. It is actually a claim against officers as representatives and agents of the membership other than those making the claim.

The ECHR will be told furthermore that Court of Appeal was not only blind to the High Court's mistakes but also to the further complaints that the High Court was culpable in multiple deprivations of the right to be heard on specific points as well as in the inadmissible bringing into account of claimant motivation.

Instead the Court of Appeal addressed the fact that the same judge had found against the claimant in the past and also whether the hearing transcript indicated bias, neither of which points formed any part of the appeal.

Thank you

Expose the ruthless right wing faction that rid Britain of democracy

Expose the relentlessly right-wing faction that rid Britain of democracy starting in 2017. Secretly, centrally controlled stooges in each of 100 seats Labour could have won (and did win 36) hour-by-hour, day-by-day sent door-knockers to a safe seat nearby.

Again ruthlessly exploiting the quirks of the first-past-the-post voting system but this time in reverse fashion, in 2024 authoritarian Labour secured 411 of the 650 seats in the House of Commons on the back of only 33.7% of the votes just to pursue Tory policy and lose power after one term**.

In 2017 the party truly offered Labour policy but its factionally-controlled machine tried to lose the contest. It secured only 267 of the 650 seats despite a remarkable 40% of the votes. In 2024 the same faction faked a Labour offer and won by barring campaigning in safe seats (letting in Farage and others).

Britain was deprived of democracy in both cases, as well as in 2019 when Labour neutered itself by offering to negate the referendum of 2016. To restore democracy and the people's will for Labour not Tory policy it is necessary to expose how it began.

Deadline extended to facilitate potential donor decision-making.

In recent days some potential donors have asked for more time to facilitate internal decision-making.

It is notable that wealth taxes and the nationalisation of water are popular, as indeed they have been since 2017.

Britain is to the left of Labour following the internal right wing coup that began by keeping Labour out of power in 2017.

Please help try to get this case in front of the ECHR.

In 2017 Labour stockpiled votes where it held seats; in 2024 it won new ones

Labour’s increase in vote share was largely a result of the party stockpiling support in seats it already held” wrote Benjamin Kentish, accurately, in the Independent published on 14 July 2017. Many on limited information sensed that this was by design. A few party officials and right wing Labour politicians and, no doubt, dark figures outside of Labour, knew for a fact it was so, ruthlessly so. Only in this way could Britain’s elite be sure to avoid a left wing government. 

The same clique, again ruthlessly, did the exact opposite in 2024. Far fewer votes (33% of a lower turnout, compared to 40%) were spread thinly across the country, to pile up seats nevertheless, rather than votes. It appeared to be a landslide but in fact it was a slump in popular support compared to 2017.

It is not a donation to Labour !

It is not a donation to Labour or to Labour members. Most of the suppliers of evidence, including most of the candidates who should have won in 2017, are no longer members.

It's about getting a declaration from the ECHR that the matter should either have gone to trial or have been properly dealt with by a strengthened Forde enquiry whose swingeing recommendations (as they would have been) had been thoroughly implemented.

This will put pressure on the (Labour ) government to refer it back to the court, and on the Labour Party to do better than the hamstrung, largely ignored, Forde could.
