Let’s start with this tweet.
“We are down to the bones of our funding & staffing, thru burning millions of pounds on legal cases, failed festivals and indulgence. Our job on the NEC is making sure the Labour Party is at a point where it has the money to run the best General Election campaign” – @lukeakehurst

Then this one from 2021:
and then the facts:
‘Under Jeremy Corbyn, the party enjoyed its healthiest finances in decades – despite having to contest a torrent of elections between 2017 and 2019. According to the Electoral Commission, Labour raised a record £55.8m in 2017 – £10m more than the Tories.
A brief look at the numbers would have shown that in addition to 2017, Labour reported an enormous income in 2019, when the country held not only a general election in December but local and European elections in May. Across the entire year, Corbyn’s party was able to outspend the Conservatives, whereas in the 2015 general election Ed Miliband’s Labour was massively outspent.’
Labour’s finances are in a slump because members are leaving – something celebrated by Rachel Reeves in that same FT interview. Alongside that exodus, with as many as 150,000 members departing since January 2020 – unions have slashed funding as the Starmer leadership has repeatedly broken its pledges.’ Novara Media

And remember exactly who Akehurst is:
No one can trust these establishment stooges. The problem is whether we can vote for them. Personally I will not touch with surgical gloves and a 10 metre stick.
