Young Labour rep faces SECOND investigation for speaking out against party leadership
Accused: Hasan Patel.
Isn’t this targeted harassment?
I am familiar with Hasan Patel and his activities, both as a Young Labour representative and as an individual. I consider him to be a principled young man of excellent character.
It seems he is exactly the kind of person that Keir Starmer’s Labour Party doesn’t want.
Yesterday (October 4), he revealed that he has been targeted for “investigation” by Labour leaders – for the second time in five months.
His alleged crime? “Stressing young people’s disillusionment with the current direction of our party.”
5 months ago, I received an email from Labour’s NEC putting me under investigation for the crime of stressing young people’s disillusionment with the current direction of our party. Now I’ve been given a *second* notice of investigation. I have to speak out.

At this point I don’t know what to do but I know I will not stay silent or give up. I demand to hear from the party leadership about why I’m being silenced. Why am I being singled out? If anyone can help, please reach out to me. Solidarity.

This is a free speech issue.
Anybody, in any organisation, should be free to speak up if they believe it is going in the wrong direction.
Michael Heseltine did it yesterday, attacking the current Conservative leadership over its “levelling up” sloganising and failure to deliver anything apart from rhetoric. It’s a sad day when the Tories can demonstrate that they are more democratic than Labour!
But it seems that the current Labour administration does not want thinking people in its ranks – especially not among younger members.
Perhaps we should prepare for its imminent rebranding as the “Starmer Youth”?
