Emilie Oldknow, then spouse of Jonathan Ashworth, was Labour’s executive director for governance, membership and party services – making her part of a senior management team who the document alleges conspired to replace Jeremy Corbyn as leader. #LabourLeaks #StarmerOut

Throughout the report, Oldknow is alleged to have commented negatively on the appearance of other women. Judge for yourself if this appropriate for workplace colleagues. Emilie Oldknow has since been awarded an OBE and is now Chief Operating Officer at UNISON. #LabourLeaks

Emilie Oldknow's name features hundreds of times in the leaked report, with some of the most shocking and offensive statements attributed to her. #LabourLeaks #StarmerOut

In March 2016, Jonathan Ashworth failed to attend Parliament to discuss the NHS Reinstatement Bill — a Bill which proposed to fully restore the NHS as an accountable public service by reversing 25 years of marketisation in our health service. #PFI #LabourLeaks #StarmerOut

Demonstrating where his allegiances lay, Jonathan voted to back the bombing of Iraq. In January 2015 he once again went along with his fellow New Labour cohorts by voting to cut tens of billions from public services (£30 billion to be precise). #PFI #LabourLeaks #StarmerOut

Emilie said she was standing down to “pursue some new and exciting opportunities,” which as we found out a few months later led her to a handy position in UNISON where, with no democratic discussion with the membership, she was anointed to her new role. #LabourLeaks #StarmerOut

Oldknow remained close to Tom Watson. The report alleges she took part in a discussion about forwarding documents to a former MP, on the assumption that he wouldn’t leak them, most likely the former Labour MP and West Midlands metro mayor candidate Siôn Simon. #LabourLeaks

The report suggests Oldknow operated as part of a faction which had little regard for party democracy. For example, in March 2017 she appears to describe having leftwingers removed from the selection panel in a Whatsapp conversation with Iain McNicol’s office. #LabourLeaks

A Labour source told Novara Media that “Nancy” – described by Emillie Oldknow as a “F*cking idiot” in this conversation is likely to be Nancy Platts, at that time the NEC and trade union liaison officer in Jeremy Corbyn's office. #LabourLeaks #StarmerOut

Such behaviour wasn’t limited to staff colleagues however. In October 2016, as Jeremy Corbyn re-shuffled his shadow cabinet, Emillie Oldknow allegedly denigrated Dawn Butler, who had just been announced as the party’s shadow minister for diversity. #LabourLeaks #StarmerOut

Black women are subject to some of the most unpleasant behaviour detailed in the report, with then executive director Patrick Heneghan appearing to boast about tipping a Channel 4 journalist off about Diane Abbott’s location. #LabourLeaks #StarmerOut

Revealing Diane Abbott’s location, after the shadow home secretary broke down in tears following a torrent of racist harassment and bullying.

Elsewhere Abbott is described as “repulsive” and a “very angry woman” by other senior staff members. #LabourLeaks #StarmerOut

Jon Ashworth, Keir Starmer's Shadow Secretary for State for Health, was married to Emilie Oldknow who ran to stand as a Labour MP for Sherwood at the 2010 GE, but didn't win.
Ex-PM Gordon Brown and his wife Sarah went to their wedding on July 3 2010 in Derbyshire. #LabourLeaks

Oldknow's rival in the contest for Sherwood, Helen Holt, withdrew accusing Emilee of ''Dirty Tricks'' and saying the selection process was actually a way of PARACHUTING a candidate into position because she has FAMILY links to Gordon Brown. #LabourLeaks https://www.pressreader.com/uk/the-mail-on-sunday/20100328/286332585642183

Sir Keir Starmer raised Jennie Formby’s departure on the day of his election – and still hoped to have former staffer, the infamous Emilie Oldknow, as her replacement, according to Labour insiders. #LabourLeak #StarmerOut https://skwawkbox.org/2020/05/04/exclusive-starmer-wanted-formby-out-from-day-he-won-election-and-still-hopes-to-get-oldknow-through/

''Keir wanted Jennie gone.''- ''There was an agreement weeks ago for her to resign and he wanted her gone before the NEC elections for fear the left might unite and win the slate, making it harder to install his choice – which is still Emilie Oldknow.'' #LabourLeak #StarmerOut

The plan was for them to install Oldknow while the right still had a majority. They voted [Jewish peer] Alf Dubs OFF a panel whose investigation would include handling of antisemitism complaints, so they thought if they can get that through anything’s possible. #LabourLeak

‘Independent’ process gives non-Labour group, who say one of its reasons for existing is to ‘advance Israel’s security, welfare and standing’, veto over appointments – even former Chief Rabbi of Liberal Judaism has been excluded. #LabourLeaks #StarmerOut https://twitter.com/AsaWinstanley/status/1354397579644170244?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Eembeddedtimeline%7Ctwterm%5Eprofile%3Askwawkbox%7Ctwcon%5Etimelinechrome&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fskwawkbox.org%2F2020%2F05%2F04%2Fexclusive-starmer-wanted-formby-out-from-day-he-won-election-and-still-hopes-to-get-oldknow-through%2F
