The corporate lobbyists at the centre of the spontaneous ‘youth’ movement Our Future Our Choice

“Our Future Our Choice” is seen as a spontaneous “youth” movement against Brexit. But latest figures from the Electoral Commission show that, as the “second-referendum” campaign fell apart, it gave £20k to a group run by former New Labour hatchet man Alastair Campbell (62 years old) and Tory Peer Patience Wheatcroft (68 years old).

Wheatcroft is a former Sunday Telegraph editor, one-time Barclays director and lifelong Tory activist.

According to the Electoral Commission, OFOC gave a £20k donation on December 11 2019 to the “PV Media Hub Limited.” This is Alastair Campbell’s “People’s Vote Media Hub,” his own personal pro-“second referendum” organisation, which he runs with Patience Wheatcroft and others.
