The truth behind the Labour coup, when it really began and who manufactured it

[Denzil_DC]

An exclusive investigation by The Canary can reveal that the current Labour ‘coup’ being instigated against Jeremy Corbyn appears to have been orchestrated by a PR company {Portland Communications} where Tony Blair’s arch spin-doctor, Alastair Campbell, is a senior advisor.

...

Its advisory council is made up of three members: Alastair Campbell, Blair’s infamous spin doctor; Jimmy Leach, Blair’s former head of communications and previously executive editor at the Guardian, and Kitty Ussher, former Labour MP for Burnley, parliamentary private secretary to Margaret Hodge and a writer for Peter Mandelson’s “Policy Network”.

And at the top of the Portland tree are the likes of Tony Ball, former CEO of BSkyB and Fox; George Pascoe-Watson, former political editor of the Sun; Jim Rosenberg, former head of communications for the World Bank, Lisa Shields, vice president of the Council on Foreign Relations, and Sir Stephen Wall, former EU adviser to Tony Blair.

Furthermore, Laura Kyrke-Smith (formerly of Portland) is currently head of communications for David Miliband at the International Rescue Committee, was previously chair of the Labour Campaign for International Development (LCID) and a speechwriter for Glenys Kinnock.

Now we can argue Corbyn's faults, what's "best" for Labour right now, yadayadayada, but it's clear that this company has orchestrated events from the (sole) planted heckler of Corbyn at the Pride rally that the media so eagerly promoted before the weekend to the staged timing of the resignations up to the no confidence vote.

The Canary's a partisan outlet, but you can research Portland Communications online, check out other aspects.

I'll say it again: Chilcot. Chilcot. Chilcot.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but maybe someone can persuade me that the timing of this attempted coup, co-ordinated if not instigated by a PR firm staffed largely by Blairites, doesn't stink to high heaven.

I'm all ears.

1. Politics is war without rules, and it looks like Blair is practicing politics.

It would be interesting to discover who paid this Blairite PR Firm in an act of political murder.
