Could be argued that it’s out of scope and actively undermining the party case.

I don't think the party has any say in the matter any more? The EHRC can choose to take it into account whether the Labour Party likes it or not.

So is Emily Oldknow seriously going to be @Keir_Starmer pick for @UKLabour General Secretary? Surely she should never be employed by the Labour Party in any capacity ever again? https://t.co/8aw0aetpS9— Diane Abbott MP (@HackneyAbbott) April 13, 2020

The fact that so many of them are now in Labour-affiliated unions, does not surprise me at all. Labour unions are full to the brim with Jess Phillips types who dgaf about organised labour & are either there via posts in the LP, or because they want a future career in the LP.— notes on sudan (@notesonsudan) April 12, 2020

Jon Trickett and Ian Lavery, who were high up in the 2017 campaign, say this in their tribune article:
It quickly became clear that Labour needed to move on from a defensive strategy of just protecting our own seats and go on the attack to target increasing numbers of Tory seats. But when we asked where the data was, the party managers met us with blank faces.Instead, we were presented with a paper which suggested that we pour resources into seats with large Labour majorities which were never under threat. We were astonished to see the candidates’ names who it was suggested should be the beneficiaries of those resources. They almost exclusively belonged to one wing of the party.The leaked document makes clear that this was a deliberate strategy. It appears to reveal the existence of an ‘Ergon House Project,’ where party resources to the tune of six-figure sums were secretly reassigned during the election for factional purposes.This revelation poses enormous questions. Who was involved? How much money was spent without sign-off by elected representatives? Who signed the cheques? Where was the money spent and on what priorities? Was the expenditure ultra vires?

JUst when you need an actual opposition.BUt seems to be going on for a while. Does this date back much further, is it a constant in a broad coalition party like that?Was hoping that the Bojo story of the last few days might lead to a better gorvernment. Now I'm hearing he was possibly faking, hope he found exactly the wrong place to do that in.& this shite.
― Stevolende, Monday, 13 April 2020 14:03 (four years ago) link
It seems incredibly unlikely that Johnson was faking. But even less likely that a few days in hospital will make him less of a Tory. The Labour Party has always been at war with itself but I feel like this particular snide cadre of antidemocratic middle managers is a Blairite development.

― où sont les threads d'antan? (Noodle Vague), Monday, 13 April 2020 14:17 (four years ago) link
If he was faking it they wouldn't have spent 24hrs when he was in hospital going 'everything is fine!'
― Matt DC, Monday, 13 April 2020 14:22 (four years ago) link
if I believed he's actually going to actually get hung out to dry for his villainy I might just patiently wait for that moment without getting sucked into daft conspiracies. But I think he'll get away with it scot-free anyway.
― calzino, Monday, 13 April 2020 14:22 (four years ago) link
Xp Yes that, the very real sense that he was out of it/incommunicado possibly for 3 days or more, before we get to the number of people who'd have to be in on it with no reason to keep quiet. I think this QAnon shit is best left to Ayn Rand bros tbh.

to me it seems vmic for him to exaggerate how ill he was and if he was putting on a bit of a performance it would hardly need a conspiracy to make it work. He's the PM and staff at the hospitals are bit too busy rn and probably might be a bit wary about saying oh that fucker is taking the piss!
