Labour’s Dirty Money

From Pakistan to Portsmouth: Same Playbook, Same People, Same Poison

Once again, the Labour Party has been caught not merely turning a blind eye to criminality, but actively profiting from it. This time by taking tens of thousands of pounds from a convicted violent offender they had already expelled. A man embedded in the same community networks Labour relies on to deliver bloc votes and shield wrongdoing.

Labour kicked out a violent criminal — then accepted his £40,000 — The Times and The Sunday Times

Labour and three of its MPs accepted more than £40,000 of election campaign donations from a convicted criminal the party expelled as a member three years ago. The contributions included £10,300 to the national party in June 2024, just below the threshold that would have required disclosure to the Electoral Commission. Another £15,000 was also given to support the re-election of Stephen Morgan, the early education minister, and other campaigns run by his local branch, Portsmouth Labour. The

Today’s Sunday Times lays it bare. Abdul Sattar Shere-Mohammod, known publicly as Shere Sattar, was convicted in 2022 of actual bodily harm alongside his two sons. The court heard how the victim was kicked and punched in the head, his shoulder dislocated in the attack. All three were handed community service orders.

Labour expelled Shere Sattar after his conviction. End of story, you might think. But you’d be wrong.

In June 2024, in the middle of the general election campaign, Labour’s national party, along with three of its MPs, accepted more than £40,000 from this man. Ten thousand pounds went straight into the national party’s coffers. These donations were conveniently set at £10,300, just under the £11,180 threshold that would have triggered immediate public reporting to the Electoral Commission.

Fifteen thousand pounds more went to Portsmouth Labour and the re-election campaign of Stephen Morgan MP — a man whose ministerial brief includes safeguarding children and preventing serious violence in schools. Other donations went to Satvir Kaur MP and Amanda Martin MP.

Portsmouth Labour failed to declare these donations to the Electoral Commission as the law requires, later calling it an “administrative error.” The regulator is now looking into the matter. And as for Labour? They’re only returning the money after the Sunday Times started asking questions.

This is not an “administrative error.”

This is a pattern.

For years I’ve said it: Labour’s relationship with certain power-brokers in the bloc vote supplying Pakistani/Bangladeshi/Muslim community is not about representation or public service. It’s about transactions. Money for influence. Bloc votes for protection. Criminal reputations laundered through political connections.

This isn’t the first time. In town after town, we’ve seen convicted criminals welcomed into the Labour fold if they can deliver something the party wants: votes, cash, or control over a community. And when the wrongdoing comes to light, Labour’s first instinct isn’t to act, it’s to cover up until exposure makes silence impossible.

Hypocrisy in its purest form

Keir Starmer’s manifesto promised to “clean up politics” and “protect democracy” by strengthening the rules on political donations. That’s the official line.

The reality? A party willing to take tens of thousands of pounds from a man they’d already expelled for violence, as well as partner up with a network where they know exactly what kind of influence they are buying.

Let’s not gloss over the symbolism here. Shere Sattar wasn’t some anonymous donor. He’s an elected councillor, a local businessman, and a man who, even after his conviction, still had enough standing in his community to throw £40,000 into Labour’s war chest.

Why it matters beyond Portsmouth

I’ve been exposing Labour’s alliances with criminal elements for years. In Oldham, in Rochdale, in towns across the North, the pattern is always the same:

1. Criminals with political connections are protected - whether it’s grooming gang offenders shielded from prosecution or violent offenders shielded from scrutiny.
2. Labour benefits - votes are delivered, dissent within communities is crushed, and rivals are kept at bay.
3. The public pays the price - in corruption, in failed justice, and in communities left betrayed.

What we see in Portsmouth is not some southern anomaly. It’s the same playbook Labour has used across Britain.

The dangerous normalisation of political-criminal alliances

Once a political party accepts and normalises taking money from criminals, the line between governance and gangsterism disappears. If Labour will bend the rules for a violent offender with a fat cheque, what makes you think they won’t bend them for someone accused of far worse crimes?

And here’s the hard truth: if they’ll do it with donations we can see, imagine what they’ll do behind closed doors, in the shadows where there’s no paper trail and no Electoral Commission to file reports to.

Enough is enough

Labour’s Dirty Money scandal is not a one-off mistake. It’s another piece of evidence in a long-running case against a party that has corrupted the relationship between politics and community leadership.

The public deserves more than vague promises to “rectify” undeclared donations. We need:

• Full disclosure of all political donations from individuals with criminal convictions.
• An independent investigation into political-criminal alliances in local Labour strongholds.
• Legal reforms to stop parties accepting money from anyone convicted of violent or sexual offences.

Until that happens, every speech from Labour about “integrity” and “protecting democracy” is a lie.

Labour didn’t just take money from a criminal. They took it knowingly, after expelling him, structured it to avoid scrutiny, failed to declare it, and only returned it when the press got involved.

That isn’t bad bookkeeping. That’s dirty money. And the rot runs far deeper than Portsmouth.

The truth about the Pakistani Rape Clans in Britain isn't a far right bandwagon. It's a national shame involving over 100,000 children and a cover up of a kind never before seen in the United Kingdom.

I don’t have corporate sponsors. I don’t have a party machine behind me. I don't have corrupt police officers that will dawn raid the homes of those we oppose or friends in the legacy media that will publish slurs. What I have is more powerful.
