Lord Walney is back, this time setting democracy itself in his sights
MP for Barrow and Furness, John Woodcock
LORD WALNEY may be the most dangerous politician in Britain that you’ve never heard of.
Who? His Lordship was (slightly) better known as John Woodcock, Labour MP for Barrow and on the extreme right of that party.
His Labour affiliation ended when he resigned from the party in 2018 while under investigation for sexual harassment allegations, which he denied. His resignation terminated the party probe.
