The SKWAWKBOX understands that ‘Labour Future’ (LF) is again sending emails to Labour supporters asking for donations. As the SKWAWKBOX revealed as long ago as 2017, LF is a private company which has no standing with the Labour Party – and whose directors have links with UKIP, the Tories and the right-wing, shadily-funded ‘Taxpayers’ Alliance‘ via the similarly misleadingly-named companies ‘Labour Leave’ and ‘Labour for Britain’ and the Vote Leave company.

One of those companies, ‘Labour Leave’, made an £18,500 donation to UKIP during the EU referendum campaign – and itself received funding from the Tories and Vote Leave.

Labour Future was also criticised for sending funding appeal emails strongly resembling official Labour messages and was revealed by the SKWAWKBOX to have used

The company has said that it cannot provide information on how it spends the donations it receives and in its funding appeals it has identified its own spending with that of official Labour organisations.

Furthermore, a number of organisations, including Momentum and Keep our NHS Public, said that LF had used their logos without their permission on its website in a section titled ‘coalitions for change’ and confirmed that they had no links with it.
