Expelled from Labour

Interviewing Mick Lynch on the picket line

On 27 June 2022, Crispin Flintoff emailed supporters as follows:

After the high of interviewing Mick Lynch yesterday morning live from an NHS picket line in South London, I came down to earth with an email from Labour saying I have been expelled from the party.

From the beginning of lockdown I tried to keep people together in the party who were isolated by Covid restrictions and we have uncovered many Labour members who have been unfairly treated by party bureaucrats. Decent people who have been smeared, abused and bullied. I called it out.

In April, the Labour Party's solicitors sent me a threatening letter that called on me to stop featuring Ben Timberley's investigation into party officials. They also sent me a notice of expulsion letter for threatening a member of Labour staff.

Last Wednesday a panel of NEC members met and decided to terminate my membership of the party.

I'd be honoured if you would join me for my Expulsion Lunch on Wednesday's "Not PMQs" (1-2pm).

Ben Timberley will also be back with another investigation in "Behind Labour". And we will also feature music, poetry and book recommendations. It certainly won't be all doom and gloom.

All the best
