The MPs that are funded by Labour Together – Labour Right Watch
How Labour are Labour’s Lords? And who do they really serve?
Lord John Hutton
- Non-executive Director of Newcastle-based but Israeli-owned arms firm Pearson Engineering. He became a Director at the company in 2022, a few weeks after it was acquired by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd, which is owned by the State of Israel and whose weapons are significantly involved in the bombardment of Gaza. For more information watch DeclassifiedUK’s video [link in article].
- Was former Trade Secretary and Defence Secretary in the New Labour era, during which time he vowed to strengthen ties between Israel and the UK and was named in a lawsuit over UK arms exports to Israel.
- Holds Directorships of a number of companies, including Circle Holdings (2014-17) and was Non-executive Director of the UK’s largest private hospital chain Circle Health as recently as 2024. Circle is notorious for being the firm that privatised an NHS hospital (Hinchingbrooke in Cambridgeshire) in 2012 to much fanfare about privatisation as a “miracle cure” for NHS hospitals, only to fail on a massive scale, bail out after three years and leave the hospital with poor care ratings, in special measures, and leaving the NHS to pick up the pieces. A parliamentary report found that the taxpayer had “been left exposed by the failure of the Hinchingbrooke franchise”.
- In her 2015 article The Privatisation Cabal at the Heart of Our NHS, Tamasin Cave lists Hutton’s interests as being an Adviser to lobby firm APCO Worldwide, (clients at the time included pharma firms, notorious outsourcer Sodexo , and GE Healthcare) and Senior Adviser to PwC (Price Waterhouse Coopers). Sodexo is a mega outsourcing firm to the NHS, probation service, prisons and the Ministry of Defence. APCO is known for its role in the Labour Together reporting journalists to security services scandal.
- Is Chair of the Association of Infrastructure Investors in Public Private Partnerships, a body that represents the investors in private finance initiative partnerships (PFIs). When appointed Chair, Hutton commented “In the past couple of decades, private capital has played a hugely important role in modernising Britain’s public infrastructure … As we look to the future, it will be important to ensure that the benefits of this collaboration between the public and private sectors can inform our thinking about the next stage of investment in the public realm”.
- Was Chair of Energy UK from 2017-2022. Energy UK is the energy industry’s main lobbying group, who “represent the energy sector to government and political stakeholders” and are funded by its members which include FTSE 100 Energy firms such as Shell UK. Other members include Equinor, Drax, E.On, EDF, Centrica and BP.
- Is a friend and former flatmate of ex Labour minister Alan Milburn; PFI boom instigator Milburn was also best man at Hutton’s wedding.
- Is Chair of London Luton Airport since 2025.
- Chaired a Tory government inquiry into limiting the cost of public sector pensions in 2010, receiving praise from George Osborne: “a man of real intelligence and knowledge in this area”.

How Labour are Labour's Lords?
And who do they really serve? 🥀
- On the payroll of Palantir. Watson lists his advisory role at Palantir UK on his register of interests under ‘remunerated employment’. He joined the data-mining and spytech firm in late 2024, saying he was “looking forward to advising Palantir on how their software can help improve public services”.
- Appointed in 2020 as Senior Adviser to Flutter Entertainment, the world’s largest online betting company, which owns Paddypower, Betfair and Skybet. His salary was not disclosed, but Flutter confirmed it would be “no more than six figures”.
- In September 2024 Watson was appointed Senior Adviser at PR firm Lodestone Communications. Lodestone’s clients include arms manufacturers (MBDA, Qinetiq), companies that feed off the public sector (KPMG, Atos), and private health firm CHEC. Watson’s salary while at Lodestone was unknown.
- Became Baron Watson of Wyre Forest after being put forward by Boris Johnson. He was first nominated in 2020 but rejected by the Lords vetting commission, reportedly due to his involvement in the Carl Beech affair.
- Has accepted gifts from Klarna and the Betting and Gaming Council. - Took a trip to the ELNET Policy Conference in Paris in may 2023 paid for by ELNET.
- The leaked Labour antisemitism report colloquially known as ‘Labourleaks’ revealed that Tom Watson was favoured by senior right-wing factionalists to take over the party in the event that Corbyn was ousted. It also showed that he was the recipient of party funds that were secretly siphoned off to Labour right MPs favoured by the faction, via an operation (the “secret key seats team“) based in Ergon House where the leader and his team wouldn’t be aware of it.
- Has been described as”serially disloyal” as Deputy Leader for regularly throwing red meat to the press to undermine the party, and “mutinous” for setting up a faction in 2019 that aimed to unite Blairites and Brownites to take on Corbyn.
- Ran a racist campaign targeting asylum seekers in the 2004 Hodgehill by-election.

Rod Liddle has died.
I think somehow we'll cope without the nasty, twisted old bastard.
#UKPol #Racism #Islamophobia #DV
Liddle quotes etc:
“I have spent the morning trying to draw a cartoon of a black person without it being racist. It’s bloody difficult. Especially the lips.”
"It could be an anomaly, of course. But it isn’t. The overwhelming majority of street crime, knife crime, gun crime, robbery and crimes of sexual violence in London is carried out by young men from the African-Caribbean community."
"My own choice of election date would be a day when universities are closed and Muslims are forbidden to do anything on pain of hell, or something. There must be at least one day like that in the Muslim calendar, surely? That would deliver at least 40 seats to the Tories, I reckon".
"If you have a student son or daughter who’s thinking of voting, shove some high grade skunk under their bedroom door the day before the poll. You can lace the skunk with horse tranquilisers if you wish."
“My own view is that there is not nearly enough Islamophobia within the Tory party”.
Called his former wife "a total slut and slattern"
Punched his second wife when she was pregnant.
Referred to the perpetrators in Lee Rigby’s case as “two black savages,” in his Spectator column.
Urged British Islamists to “blow themselves up – somewhere a decent distance away from where the rest of us live. Tower Hamlets, for example.”
Said homosexual sex is "unnatural and perverse."
Said Islam is a "fascistic, bigoted and medieval religion. 
"
He risked prejudicing the trial of two men charged with the murder of Stephen Lawrence.

How Labour are Labour's Lords?
Lord Roger Liddle: The close friend of Peter Mandelson who managed to wriggle free from the blatant lobbying scandal he was at the centre of in 1998 and continue shaping the Labour landscape, in spite of (or because of) his complete rejection of a politics that benefits the working class. 🥀 💰 🐍 👇 #UKPol #LabourParty #Lobbying
How Labour are Labour’s Lords? – Labour Right Watch
Currently looking at Labour party peers, and it's not pretty:
1. Lord Clive Hollick
Director of UK arms firm BAE Systems. BAE Systems makes weapons used by Israel in Gaza and is involved in the supply chain of Lockheed Martin F-35 fighter jets. The company has been described as having "immense lobbying power throughout Whitehall and Downing Street."
Was a Director at US military tech firm TRW Inc (later bought by Northrup Grumman) until 2005, and director of British Aerospace between 1992-1997. The Guardian reported in 2007 that "it is alleged that Robin Cook blamed Hollick's influence at Downing Street as the reason he could not get the government to control arms exports more tightly."
Currently holds shares in private health firm HCA Healthcare, a major for-profit healthcare operator based in the US that runs a chain of private hospitals in the UK. He has held the shares since at least 2015.
Has been a managing partner in the giant US private equity firm KKR since 2005; holds shares in the firm; and is an adviser. KKR-owned companies have been the target of numerous boycotts due to its “structural and long-term” interests in Israel. KKR donated $1 million to President Trump in 2025. It also owns 25% of Northumbrian Water and was on course to buy out Thames Water (saving it from a return to public ownership) until it pulled out in 2025 due to "politicisation" of the deal.
Long-term "close friend" of Peter Mandelson and a known Blairite. He was briefly a special adviser to Mandelson at the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) in 1997.
Holds shares in Honeywell, Diageo, Informa, Plandek, Arctura, Adarga Ltd and others.
Is currently Senior Director at Honeywell and Diageo and a Senior Adviser to Salica Investments (private equity and venture capital).
Was Chief Executive of United Business Media (1973-2005) which owned the the Express, Sunday Express and the Daily Star, and Hollick had considerable editorial control of those newspapers.
Donated to Rachel Reeves (£27.5k), Keir Starmer (£50k) and Labour MPs Luke Charters, Satvir Kaur, Liz Kendall, Samantha Niblett, Andrew Pakes, and Joe Powell.
[work in progress, will appear on my site soon]
$70 TRILLION. Not billion, TRILLION... 👇 💰
"At the last G20 meeting of leading nations in South Africa, president Cyril Ramaphosa said intervention was needed after a report showed more than $70tn (£52tn) of inherited wealth will pass down the generations across the world over the next decade, widening inequality."
the Guardian
Wealth tax on UK’s super-rich could raise £10bn a year, Andy Burnham told
New PM urged to introduce a 2% minimum charge on households with more than £100m in wealth
It costs around £10 billion every year to run the whole of the NHS primary care system (GP surgeries). The traitorous NHS Pharma deal signed off by Streeting and Starmer will (in a few years time) be costing the NHS £9 billion annually in *extra costs* for drugs, without getting any extra product for it.
