View our privacy policyLord Walney advises the government on protest but we believe his conflicts of interest warrant his removal.
Lord Walney was appointed to advise the government on political violence and disruption. His report urged the government to focus their attention on those campaigning on the climate crisis and protesting for Palestine. But whilst making these recommendations, Walney was being paid by lobbying organisations whose clients include oil and gas companies and those selling weapons to Israel. If Labour is serious about cleaning up politics, it must remove Walney urgently and investigate him for conflicts of interest.
We’ve made an official complaint about ‘independent’ protest adviser, Lord Walney, and submitted a dossier of evidence of his conflicts of interest. It’s time for Labour to clean up standards in political life.
