Still …it is clear quite a few people (see snip below) like the idea of their Labour MP Andy Burnham being PM.

I’m also shocked Reform UK did so well in the Makerfield, England, by-election … with a bad candidate. Where has morality, indeed basic judgement, gone?

And that the Green Party did so badly. What happened to hope? Critical thinking? The collapse of climate and nature?

Restore gets only 7%? It expected 10%, at least.

Do people not realise that Labour, including no-real-change Burnham, is captured by bad people, including war criminal (genocidal) Netanyahu?

Josh Simons, who gave up his seat for Burnham to run, as part of the perversion, was head of Labour Together*, which deliberately and over many years tricked (defrauded) the British people.

I’m shocked.

It is telling that 41% of people still didn’t bother to vote…given the saturation, global even, news coverage. And given voters care so little about democracy …they didn’t even want the free-of-charge chance to say they helped install the new UK PM. They knew the vote was a democratic perversion…or perhaps simply didn’t give a flying fuck.

* ChatGPT unchecked:

Josh Simons became director of Labour Together in late 2022 and led it until he was selected as a parliamentary candidate in 2024. [ CarrZee: a fake parliamentary candidate?]. So he was effectively in charge of Labour Together for around 18–24 months.  

On your second question—how instrumental was he in “demonising” Jeremy Corbyn?—the answer depends heavily on whether you’re asking for an objective organisational role or a political judgement.

Factually:

• Labour Together was one of the key organisations behind the strategic project that eventually brought Keir Starmer to the leadership and marginalised the Corbynite left within Labour.  
• However, Labour Together’s anti-Corbyn strategy pre-dated Simons. The organisation had been active since the Corbyn era and was closely associated with figures such as Morgan McSweeney, who is generally regarded as the principal architect of the anti-Corbyn electoral strategy.  
• Simons himself had previously worked for Corbyn but left, citing concerns about Labour’s handling of antisemitism allegations.  
• As director, Simons helped develop and promote Labour Together’s strategic and policy agenda during the period when Starmer’s leadership was consolidating control over the party.  [CarrZee: this agenda was another lie …eg proportional representation. I would have loved to see people’s second and third choices in this byelection!]

So if by “demonising Corbyn” you mean building the intellectual and strategic case against Corbynism inside Labour, Simons was certainly an important participant. If you mean the original creation of the anti-Corbyn project, he was not the central figure; Labour Together’s opposition to Corbyn largely predates his leadership, and McSweeney is usually seen as the more influential strategist.  

Many Corbyn supporters would argue that Labour Together played a major role in portraying Corbyn and his allies as electorally toxic and politically extreme.

Supporters of Labour Together would argue they were responding to Labour’s defeats and trying to rebuild a winning electoral coalition.

Whether that amounts to “demonisation” is ultimately a political judgement rather than a settled fact.
