Scathing form Labour veteran John McDonnell "Many of us remain bewildered why Mandelson's appointment was made despite the many warnings" "Isn't the reality this: when he sought to be leader with very little base in the Labour party he became dependent on McSweeny, Mandelson and Labour Together to fund his campaign: "And when he became PM the reward for McSweeny was control of No 10" "And for Mandelson the highest diplomatic office" "And the unspoken message for civil servants: what Mandelson wants Mandelson gets" "This has damaged the party" "I urge him, I urge him, I urge him, to take steps to clear this toxic culture out of our party" "And have an independent inquiry into Labour Together"

NLC WANTS ABURE REMOVED AS LP CHAIRMAN The Nigeria Labour Congress has grounded activities at the national headquarters of the Labour Party demanding the immediate removal of the party’s national chairman, Julius Abure over what they describe as contempt for the leadership of the labour union. The NLC describes Abure as a political coup plotter who became chairman of the party illegally and wants him removed. The party chairman was not available at the Secretariat and he is yet to issue a statement on the picketing of the Labour Party Secretariat or accusations laid against him.

“The former presidential candidate of the Labour Party who wanted to be president and was given a platform. When a crisis came in the party, that was the time for him to show leadership, but he ran away because he could not solve problems. Some governors who have defected from the PDP have also shown that they lack leadership traits. I would liken them to that former Labour Party candidate.” -Nyesom Wike, FCT Minister #PDPNationalConvention2026

"But we're taking the Labour Party's phrase and we're now turning it back on them and calling the Labour Party 'institutionally pedophilic'. Why? Because this isn't about every single member of the Labour Party being a paedophile. This is about a system being put in place that ensured that those with paedophilic or otherwise compromising sexual information acquired on them, it ensured that because of the database named Excalibur that Prime Minister Starmer's former Chief of Staff Morgan McSweeny was trained on by Mandelson, because of that database, the Labour Party - structurally - unfairly promoted and chose those who are loyal to people like Mandelson and hence Epstein in that Babylonian, Tower of Babel, paedophilic system that they erected for control over the Labour Party."

Those at the top of the Labour Party knew about Mandelson. His relationship with Epstein, his politics, his scandal filled history. They ignored it all, and arrogantly pushed on and appointed him. Their credibility is gone. Now they have to go too.

The former RMT General Secretary Mick Lynch warned people about #KeirStarmer before the election. Most of the media laughed it off. Many in Labour dismissed him. But he understood exactly what Starmer represented. Lynch said Starmer’s Labour was managerial, not political. A party run by lawyers, advisors, and communications professionals rather than people rooted in labour history, trade unions, industry, or working-class communities. A party that believed in management, not representation. Stability, not change. Administration, not politics. He warned that if Starmer won, Labour would not govern as a movement, but as a management team. If anything, Lynch understated it. What we have seen is not a political Prime Minister but an administrative one. Government by briefing note, by focus group, by legal framing rather than political vision. A Labour Party reshaped from a political movement into something closer to a corporate structure with MPs. Under Starmer, Labour has been changed more fundamentally than even under Blair. Blair at least had a political project. Starmer’s project has been control. Centralise the party. Remove internal opposition. Sideline unions. Purge members. Control candidate selection. Control messaging. Control policy. The result is a Labour Party that is now barely recognisable as a working-class party, and barely recognisable even as a democratic political party. It behaves more like an administrative arm of the state than a movement representing the people. Alongside this has come something else that should worry anyone who cares about civil liberties. Expanding surveillance powers. Restrictions on protest. Speech laws framed as safety. Increasing police powers. More powers for the state, fewer rights for the citizen. All passed in the language of responsibility and stability. This is managerial politics. Not leadership, not representation, not democracy in the traditional labour movement sense. Management of the population. Management of expectations. Management of decline. Mick Lynch saw a managerial Labour Party coming. What he didn’t see was a Labour Party rebuilt as a machine: centrally controlled, staffed with loyalists, a government with authoritarian instincts and no roots in the labour movement at all, parachuting in MPs with little to no experience outside political offices, hand-picked acolytes from outfits like Labour Together, selected not for independence or service to their communities, but for loyalty to the leadership. MPs whose first duty is not to their constituents, not to their country, but to the party machine and the people who control it. Labour didn’t win power for the people. Starmer won power for the global oligarchy and that little club he's been a member of since 2019... Paul Knaggs , Labour Heartlands
