The Labour Files – Episode 1 – The Purge I Al Jazeera Investigations

An investigation based on the largest leak of documents in British political history. The Labour Files examines thousands of internal documents, emails and social media messages to reveal how senior officials in one of the two parties of government in the UK ran a coup by stealth against the elected leader of the party.
The program will show how officials set about silencing, excluding and expelling its own members in a ruthless campaign to destroy the chances of Jeremy Corbyn becoming Britain’s prime minister.
Candidates for key political roles were blocked and constituency groups suspended as the party’s central office sought to control the elected leadership.

Thanks for actually reporting on this, the silence in the UK media has been deafening.

[Jamezontoast]

When we lost Corbyn, I lost all hope in the Labour party and the UK

[Paranormal]

This needs to be shown on a big screen outside the Labour Party Conference this week.

[madguys]

There is absolutely no way I could ever vote Labour ever again after watching this.

[kristen]

As an American I see so many parallels between what happened to Corbyn and what happened to Bernie Sanders in the US.

[paulcharisse]

Thanks you for doing what the corrupt UK press never will.

[dondoodat]

As a Corbyn supporter I am glad the truth is coming out.

As a Corbyn/Labour supporter I am appalled at the behaviour of the party and that this is overshadowing the disastrous behaviour of the Tories and the likelihood that many people will now not vote Labour.

[bainmarie]

Jeremy Corbyn, & all his supporters should form a New Party, as it stands the now so called Labour Party is rotten to the core.

[imisspac]

Corbyn dares to speak for the poor and for Palestine. That was his death sentence

[godlikemonolith]

I was at the Brighton event. I am former security so i tend to notice aggression. Its a small ish venue. There was no spitting. Or aggression. I will never vote Labour until all those responsible are brought to justice.

[dbsk]

This is really tragic and unsurprising that Al Jazeera is the one to investigate this instead of British media

[pantherpopel]

*Weird how no major media outlet is reporting on this huge revelation properly, isnt it?*

[georgepeel]

Today's Labour Party is not a socialist party, of any stripe.

Why any socialist would contemplate casting their vote for them, is beyond my comprehension.

The revelations in this Al Jazeera programme, have sickened me.

[amir_fahmi]

Speaking out against Israel's inhumane treatment of the Palestinians is warranted.

Boycott Israel products. Support BDS 🙏

[youtubeuser]

can you imagine how much different (ie better) the world would be had bernie sanders and jeremy corbyn been elected leaders of their countries???

[kathrynhayman]

Watching this is like eating poison. The depths of duplicity to which these MPs and bureaucrats sink makes most honest people speechless. They're a disgrace. Frankly it's tantamount to treason.

[AlexandraBryngelsson]

Corbyns mistake was that he was too nice, he should have thrown out all of these people conspiring against the members. You can't compromise with the right, let that be a lesson for next time.

[muhpiyas]

I'm utterly disgusted. This is not acceptable.

[tofty]

I was chair of our CLP at the last election. Working with other good people I tried to get Corbyn elected but everything we tried was vetoed by “centre”. I remember saying to my colleagues at the time that either the Labour Party was grossly inept or there are forces within the party working against the membership.

[NormalZebra]

Thank you for doing this. It's good to know that genuine investigative journalism exists outside the UK, and is prepared to expose this to the world, because no news outlet in the UK is prepared to do it any time soon.
