Today, I wrote to Andy Burnham about an issue that is deeply important to me and very close to my heart.
I sincerely hope my letter reaches him safely in the North West and that he has the opportunity to read it.
Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend.

“I manipulated Labour Party member data to try and get selected to stand as a prospective parliamentary candidate in Croydon and then perhaps become an MP but failed, got caught out, and got convicted under IT laws”
“Oh”
This is huge and points to a scandal potentially bigger than Mandelson.
Beyond this alleged attempt to manipulate one Parliamentary selection in Croydon, we could be looking at Labour systematically rigging selections for dozens if not hundreds of MPs 🧵
