Please support the SKWAWKBOX. Here’s why.

The three weeks or so since the last round-up have been as busy as ever – and have included some of the SKWAWKBOX’s most explosive revelations. Below are just a few of the stories that this blog has either broken exclusively or highlighted when the mainstream was ignoring it – many of which have had direct effects on the political landscape.

• revealing the scandal of the wholesale deselection of all Enfield Labour’s black councillors – and the ensuing protest letters from an array of community organisations
• also in Enfield, revealing the outrage caused by the ‘irregularly’-elected council leader’s decision to block a motion to protect threatened staff – and the response of the deputy leader in asking the whole Labour council group to call for an investigation into the leader’s behaviour
• then, as events triggered in Enfield by the SKWAWKBOX’s revelations spiralled, the unprecedented letter sent by half of the council Cabinet and others to the party demanding a full investigation into anti-democratic selections overseen by the now-leader of the council
• highlighting the significance of a London fire officer’s testimony to the Grenfell inquiry – that Boris Johnson’s cuts to fire services and facilities had played a key role in the terrible loss of life – and the convicted ‘cyber-stalker’ targeting the officer
• exposing anti-democratic practices in the Sandwell heartland of the Labour hard right
• revealing Tory front-bencher Boris Johnson’s ‘desperate’ demands for a move to a safe seat because of his fear of the next ‘Corbyn surge’
• showing the massive contrast between the approaches to the refugee crisis of Jeremy Corbyn and ‘great centrist hope’ David Miliband
• highlighting the colossal ‘fail‘ of a Tory councillor who attempted to mock a Jeremy Corbyn tweet about England’s World Cup team
• revealing the unhealthy closeness of Tories and centrists at the ‘People’s vote’ march
• resisting attempts by a council’s lawyer to block this blog’s publication of evidence of a potential housing-law breach by a key West Midlands right-winger
• in the same borough, breaking the news that, when the council leader claimed the authority does not use confidentiality agreements, his own family member had been paid for signing one – news that the same council lawyer tried to force the SKWAWKBOX to suppress
• still in the same Sandwell borough, exposing the boorish behaviour of a senior council figure who reduced a female former employee to tears – at a funeral
• exposing Labour First MP John Spellar’s undeclared ownership of a share of the club to which taxpayers pay thousands of pounds a year for his office rental
• revealing Theresa May’s inadvertent admission that she plans to deepen the NHS funding crisis
• highlighting in advance the government’s cowardice and the inevitable, centrist-humiliating failure of Tory ‘rebels’ to actually rebel in a key Brexit vote
• exposing the gaping holes in centrist ‘stop Brexit’ protesters’ claims to have been ‘ejected’ from Labour’s ‘Labour Live’ event, with video evidence and eyewitness testimony – and the vile behaviour of some protesters toward festival-goers
• revealing the problems with the claims to pro-Corbyn status of a spokeswoman of a ‘stop Brexit’ group on national TV
• revealing the Tory support of a supposed Labour ‘centrist’ – who was subsequently expelled from the party
• breaking news of right-wing Unite challenger’s latest humiliation as an appeals judge called his case ‘confusing, inconsistent and weak’
• revealing Jeremy Corbyn’s unexpected talent for impressions
• revealing the ‘death stare‘ Theresa May fired at Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson after Corbyn used Johnson’s words against her during Prime Minister’s questions (PMQs)
• exposing the call by Enfield North CLP – the seat of arch-rightwinger Joan Ryan – for an investigation into alleged selection-rigging by her allies

and much more.

Through these and other exposés, information revealed – often exclusively – by the SKWAWKBOX regularly has a huge impact on the political narrative in the party and the country.
