I have been passed a copy of the "report". It contains incredibly sensitive personal information relating to complaints, victims and major safeguarding issues. If the central allegation of the document is factionalism, its leaking is a very serious event...
...the document is now making its way around numerous Party whatsapp groups, on all sides of the political spectrum. This is a very dangerous event, and will have some major repercussions...
...the report was written by a member of Party staff, with extensive commentary and quoting of other Party staff. They did not remove their name from the file meta data. The report clearly accesses internal party data and files...
...no attempt appears to have been made to in any way redact or protect the identities of those complaining, or complained about. Consistent disclosure of special category data throughout...
...this includes existing members of staff and officers, as well as a substantial number of people covered by the non disclosure agreements who have not spoken publicly, out of fear that the party would set Carter Ruck on them as they have others...
...it is now entirely clear to me why Party lawyers prevented it from being sent to the EHRC, and presumably why Sky's lawyers did not allow for more than excerpts to be published...
...with over 800 pages, it is a very long and very partial account. Clearly it is going to be. What it is not however is impartial, external or objective. So much of the detail will likely be contested...
...including many lines of inquiry that have been passed to the EHRC that are entirely absent from the narrative it seeks to present. There is much unsavory language. There are also major omissions of well documented wrongdoing that don't fit the narrative...
...there have been some very dangerous things done that I have witnessed in the last 4.5 years involving AS and party disciplinary. Unredacted sensitive information goes way beyond what can ever be acceptable.
