Where on earth is former Labour Chief Whip Nick Brown? He was suspended from the party 195 days ago following ‘complaints’ about his behaviour being made against him, but there was no clarification from the Labour Party as to what the nature of the complaints are.
In effect, Mr Brown has to all intents and purposes disappeared and the Labour Party are saying nothing. It is as if he was the man that never was if you are relying on the Labour Party for information.
The lack of information coming out of Labour over the suspension of a politician who has been at the heart of party organisation in the House of Commons is astounding. You’d think that the party would say something, anything to satisfy the public’s curiosity about this case, if only to damp down the tsunami of speculation that is growing around the matter of Mr Brown’s suspension?
The lack of information about this case either in the media or being provided by the Labour Party is creating an environment where people are starting to wonder ‘why the silence’? Are the party just keeping quiet because of potential political embarrassment, or is the silence because what Mr Brown is accused of is particularly morally or ethically dodgy? The point is that we do not know and until Labour reveal just what is going on then the speculations will continue to grow and they will, as is the nature of these things, these speculations will become more and more lurid.
If Labour can’t come clean about the reasons for Mr Brown’s suspension and provide more information about it then many will wonder whether such secrecy is yet another reason to not vote for the Labour Party.
Looks like the shape of things to come under Labour, unpersoning à la 1984.
I’d like to think his suspension was due to threats of blowing the whistle on the rampant Jew hatred running like a cancer through the party, but on past form, as likely as the sun turning green for St. Patrick’s Day.
This sort of behaviour by Labour reminds me all too much of what happened to Yeshov, Stalin’s enforcer. He became a non person both figuratively and literally, erased from documents as he was erased from life. It does seem exceedingly odd that such a high profile figure, in the party is just not being mentioned as much as I would have expected him to be. The length of time elapsed with no explanation from the party about Mr Brown’s vanishing. Mr Brown may not have been despatched to that great Labour Party conference in the sky, but he’s certainly been disappeared.
Whilst I can understand that there’s an ‘innocent until proven guilty’ aspect to this whole business, the complaints might be malicious after all, the secrecy surrounding the complaints and about Mr Brown’s disappearance is making a lot of people wonder whether a) that the are not malicious complaints, b) that the silence is because whatever might be revealed to the public by way of a hearing might severely politically embarrass the party or c) that the complaints relate to matters that are extremely serious or which might even be criminal or quasi-criminal. The silence does the party no favours.
I very much doubt that this related to blowing the whistle on the Jew hatred in parts of the Labour Party. If it was then Starmer has every reason to let this be known. After all it would be the perfect gloss to put on his leadership where he’s tried to differentiate his leadership from that of Corbyn by at least seemingly deal with the Jew hating nutters that seem to find a home in Labour. If the complaints were malicious ones from disgruntled Corbynites then it’s a benefit for Starmer not a loss to reveal that fact.
Compare and contrast also the press coverage of the allegations against Raab with the silence here.
Would it be naive to suspect that Brown is not being monstered because he is a ‘progressive’?
You could be correct. The MSM in the UK does have a leftist / liberal / metrocentric bias and that might be why there is less push than I believe there should be about Brown. It is indeed an interesting contrast between how the Establishment has treated Raab and how they are treating Brown.
