Blairite staffers allegedly shred thousands of documents before quitting
Focus on equal access to assisted death rather than risks of legalisation for oppressed groups wrongheaded, MPs and campaigners say
BLAIRITE staffers shredded thousands of documents related to ongoing disciplinary cases before leaving their jobs, it has been alleged.
Labour sources have told the Skwawkbox blog that former party officials destroyed around 9,000 sensitive documents related to ongoing complaints but kept copies later leaked to the right-wing press, including cases related to anti-semitism.
It is thought that right-wingers hostile to Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership destroyed documents to frustrate the efforts of pro-Corbyn officials to effectively deal with cases.
