In order to understand what happened between 2015 and 2019 you have to begin by listening to a man who's most of his family got wiped out by the Nazis.
1On 15 June 2015, for example, Head of Press and Broadcasting Jo Green called Corbyn
“that fucking trot”
and suggested to Acting Director of Policy and Political Research Simon Jackson that
“anyone who nominates Corbyn 'to widen the debate' deserves to be taken out and shot”.
Jackson agreed: “quite. if the left can't get on the ballot it shows they're moribund, putting them on there only validates the views”.
2015 - On 22 July 2015, Dan Hogan,
who later became an Investigations Officer in GLU,
suggested that people who joined the party after an election defeat shouldn’t be allowed to vote:
“what sort of person only becomes actively involved in politics after a general election? people who love losing.
Later they reached a conclusion to block the new members from voting if they joined less than 6 months before the vote
On 13 August 2015, as it became clear that Jeremy Corbyn might win the Labour leadership election:
Jo Green and Stolliday, discussed delaying or cancelling the election, by claiming insufficient resources to check new members,
or by all the other candidates pulling out.
John Stolliday 11:45: which presumably would risk a huge argument, that would be ace
Jo Green 11:46: it would!
John Stolliday 11:46: Great idea
