Alrgiht enough fun and games. Not going to mention LabouLeaks after this, it's all too grim, and anyway this escalation now means it's going to play out in the courts, not Twitter bickering. Just to be clear on a couple of things tho: 1) you can't smear anyone questioning this as
"the Labour Right". Nah. Bollocks. Yes it's all factional, but Gapes, Watson and Continuity New Labour are shitclowns, and they're finished, to boot. Questioning the motives and tactics of this leak doesn't make anyone on their side. 2) Anyone exposed as harrassing or abusing
colleagues, and especially if this is racially aggravated, should be disciplined and chucked out, same as the antisemites and other abusers that have been exposed on the former LOTO's side. But these people could have been exposed by targeted whistle-blowing: the huge data leak
wasn't needed for that. It was a nuclear option, designed to cause maximum harm to the party as a whole (the fines for the data breach could run to the millions). 3) The scale of what it exposes by Labour Right factions is still dwarfed by the top-down institutional antisemitism
and other abuse, which the leak hamfistedly tries to swerve but only ends up showing up as worse than ever. 4) Whoever put it together WAS RESEARCHING MEMBERS TOFIND OUT IF THEY WERE JEWISH and noting it on their records, even if they hadn't declared the fact. That last bit
pretty much says everything you need to know. That's who THIS faction is. That's what they do. If that's your faction, fuck you.

Now, because this person or group has done this instead of whistleblowing about specific individuals, this is going to be dragged through the courts.
So enjoy that circus, if that's your bag. But don't @ me.
If there’s one positive it’s this: light shone on who ends up working at party HQ and why. That’s not factional, quite the opposite - cliques and factions of all kinds thrive on lack of transparency https://twitter.com/NadiaWhittomeMP/status/1249670003395301376?s=20
