Everything about the Labour Party and its campaign in the Batley and Spen by-election, which is to take place on July 1^st, is quite frankly revolting. It’s mired in some of the most disgraceful attempted emotional manipulation of the voters and blatant pandering to Islamic interests, that I’ve ever seen in a by-election.

Firstly there’s Labour’s campaigning style in the electoral campaign. Labour have run an overtly biased campaign which seems to be ignoring the needs or desires of the bulk of the seat’s residents in favour of a nakedly religiously sectarian approach. From what I’ve seen coming out of the Labour campaign regarding leaflets etc, Labour, despite claiming that they and their candidate are fighting over local issues, are concentrating on issues that concern Muslims and Muslims alone. Their candidate, Kim Leadbetter, about whom more later, along with local party campaigners, are positioning her as the candidate who will speak up for Palestine, Kashmir and against ‘Islamophobia’. Do these seem to you to be local issues? Reader, they are not. They are the sort of issues that appeal to an Islamic bloc vote and in some cases the more extreme sections of this Islamic bloc vote.

Labour has a really bad reputation for what could be termed ‘Islamopandering’ in the Batley and Spen constituency. Neither the previous MP, Tracy Brabin, nor her predecessor the late Jo Cox did anything or say anything that would either upset or discomfort those local Muslims who were concerned primarily with Islamic rather than general issues.

Tracy Brabin for example failed to properly condemn or even effectively criticise the aggressive mobs of Muslim men that turned up at a local school and hounded a teacher out of their job for the ‘crime’ of offending Islam. The teacher was targeted for showing a cartoon of the Islamic ‘prophet’ Mohammed as part of a debate on freedom of speech and offence during an RE lesson. Tracy Brabin did the square root of sod all to defend the teacher and quite frankly acted like some sort of ‘Wormtongue’ regarding this issue, doing all that she could to not criticise the followers of Islam. The teacher at the centre of the Mohammed cartoon affair is still in hiding and still in fear of their life having had death threats made to him by some of Britain’s more unhinged Muslims. Brabin’s predecessor Jo Cox also had a pretty bad reputation for taking up Islamic causes at the expense of speaking out about issues that local non-Muslim constituents might have wanted raised. Of course it’s absolutely tragic that Ms Cox died as she did at the hands of a nutter and her murder must and should be condemned. However the manner of Ms Cox’s death should not make us shy away from noticing how she pandered to causes favoured by the area’s Muslims such as the subject of Palestine.

Then there are the allegations, some which have been relayed by this blog, about child sexual exploitation by some Muslim men in the area. To my knowledge, none of the three MP’s who have represented the seat for Labour since the Conservatives lost it in 1997, have given this issue that much thought or concern and there are allegations that neither the local authority social services department nor West Yorkshire Police have been that interested in complaints about the sexual exploitation of children by some of the area’s Muslim men. Where the authorities have spoken of these issues they have been in more generalised terms than they should not addressing the specific problem of out group targeting of girls and young women by a similar demographic as has been shown to be at fault elsewhere.

Labour have decided to throw Batley’s non-Muslim voters under the bus because they know that Muslims can be relied upon to vote Labour provided that this group is pandered to and we are seeing plenty of pandering in the Batley and Spen by-election.

We can see from the background on the Labour Party’s campaign in the area that Labour are quite willing to engage in revolting appeasement of communal religious interests in order to keep the seat under their control. But they have also chosen a candidate for cynical and base reasons in order to shore up their rapidly haemorrhaging non-Muslim vote.

The Labour candidate in this by-election, Kim Leadbetter, is the sister of the late Jo Cox. She does not have much of a track record in elected politics and her only real claim to fame is being given an MBE for the vague achievement of ‘fighting loneliness during the pandemic’. She’s a former lecturer in physical health at Bradford college and in recent years has mostly worked to promote the foundation set up her sister’s name. She only rejoined the Labour Party quite recently, a matter of months it appears, after being a lapsed member for quite a while. Cynics among you all might suspect, maybe rightly or wrongly, that Ms Leadbetter only rejoined Labour in order to be given a chance to fight this seat. It has also been claimed in various places around the net that Labour chose Ms Leadbetter in order to cynically exploit sympathies that local people, probably local mostly non-Muslim people, hold for the family of Jo Cox.

This tactic of emotional manipulation of the voters by the Labour Party is one that Ms Leadbetter should have been aware of and rejected. She’s being used by the party to try to guilt trip the non-Muslim sector of the electorate in the seat to vote again for the same Labour Party that has done little to make the lives of these voters better. However rather than focussing on the constituency as a whole Kim Leadbetter has repulsively, chosen to go along with the party’s Islamopandering and allowed herself to be portrayed as ‘the candidate for Palestine’. She could have fought a campaign that embraced all the voters rather than some.

Ms Leadbetter, or rather the local Labour Party, is going to extraordinary lengths to pander to the Islamic vote and protect her from criticism, such as withdrawing her from a local hustings debate and keeping very very quiet over the fact that Ms Leadbetter is a Lesbian. I suspect that the reasoning for the withdrawal from the hustings debate was to not show her up as a political novice against Labour’s big challenge for the Muslim vote which is George Galloway. The relative silence over Ms Leadbetter’s sexuality, something that would more than likely not be an issue in any constituency not dominated by the Islamic bloc vote, also looks like a means to keep the Muslim Labour vote on side. After all it would be foolish for Labour to promote a candidate who by reason of her sexuality that some of the area’s Muslims might believe that she deserved to be thrown off of a tall building.

Finally, after dealing with Labour’s repulsive politics, their repulsive, pandering and weak candidate, we should look at Labour’s seriously revolting, repulsive and hate filled Islamic voter base in this constituency. The attitude of this Islamic voter base, or at least significant sections of it, towards British Jews as recently reported is absolutely repellent.

According to a story found by the editor of the Ambush Predator blog, there is enormous hostility towards Labour growing among the Muslims of the constituency over two issues that for them are paramount. The first is that Labour have embarked on an effort to remove all the Marxist-oriented and Islam-inspired Jew haters from the Labour Party, which flocked to the Party during the time Jeremy Corbyn was leader. The other issue that is enraging the Muslims of Batley and Spen is said to be based on suspicion of Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer on the grounds that he has a Jewish wife and their children are allegedly being brought up as Jews.

Think about this for a second and what it means. It means that Jew hate is a primary motivator to enough of the local Muslims in the constituency to make a difference or possible difference to electoral outcomes. This is disgusting and the sort of politics we’ve not seen in Britain since Oswald Mosley was a player in British politics. Britain did away quite successfully with the politics of Jew hatred decades ago, but we’ve imported it back into Britain because of Islamic cultures that are stuffed full of Jew hatred.

The local Muslims in the constituency are said to be abandoning Labour, not because they disagree with their policies on matters such as economics or trade or any of the usual reasons why people disagree about politics, but because Labour doesn’t hate Jews to the degree that these Muslims would like and because the Labour leader is married to a Jew.

Part of the Daily Mail story about the Islamic Jew haters of Batley and Spen which was unearthed by Ambush Predator said:

Sir Keir Starmer is heading for a by-election defeat that could end his leadership amid claims his tough stance on anti-Semitism has cost him the trust of Muslim voters.

He faces a bitter backlash from Muslim communities in Labour-held Batley and Spen, with even his wife Victoria’s Jewish heritage apparently being cited as one reason not to vote Labour.

We’ve always had some degree of affinity voting in the UK. Parliamentary seats that have heavily Roman Catholic areas in them might lean towards a Catholic candidate and Jewish candidates do well in council elections in places like Stamford Hill in London. This is to be somewhat expected but voters expect their representatives, even if they have picked up some form of affinity vote, to speak for all in the constituency or ward, which is what should and mostly does happen. However what we have in Batley and Spen is not mere affinity voting, which doesn’t always have to be based on race or religion, it can be connected to stuff other than that, but a community that is voting on the basis of who can hate on the Jews the most.

As you can see the Labour machine in Batley has a revolting campaign, with a revolting candidate who is willing to let herself be exploited by the party, despite the party chasing after a bunch of revolting Jew haters in the Islamic community. Thankfully the Labour party in this constituency look to be in trouble and not just because the 20% of the population that is Muslim believe that there is insufficient Jew hatred in Labour for them.

In Batley and Spen, like in other places in recent years and especially since the 2019 General Election, people who were once solid Labour voters who returned Labour MP’s for generations, are starting to realise that Labour is no longer the party of the working classes, but instead has morphed into the party of Islam, wokery, open borders and Britain hating. According to Survation, the Conservatives have a six point lead over Labour and are in a reasonably strong position as the Reform party, which might have taken votes from those who hate Labour but might not want to vote Tory and the candidacy of George Galloway who has a track record of doing very well with extremist or extremism-adjacent Muslims. It remains to be see whether the Tories can keep up the momentum and win the seat or whether a last minute flurry of postal votes all in the name of ‘Mohammed’ will appear and propel Leadbetter into Parliament. What I can with full confidence say is that regardless of the outcome of the vote, the public has seen what a revolting party Labour truly is, how cynical they are in their choice of candidates and the truly disgusting nature of some of what has become Labour’s core vote.
