The New Dark Age

Boris Johnson appointed Lord Walney as an “independent” adviser on political violence and disruption.

Walney’s 2024 report urged the government to focus on what he calls the “extreme left” – mostly people campaigning on the climate crisis and standing up for Palestine.

But Walney may not have been so “independent” after all. While he was putting together this report, he was being paid by lobbying organisations whose clients include oil and gas companies and those selling weapons to Israel.

We believe we deserve more from our politicians, especially those advising the government.

Do you agree Walney should be removed from his post and his potential conflicts of interest should be investigated?

The Home Office says it’s reviewing Walney’s appointment, so we’ve been working with the cross-party group Compassion in Politics to submit a dossier of evidence to inform their decision.

Labour promised to restore trust in politics. It’s time to root out politicians who could be undermining our democracy.

Add your name and show the Home Office that we demand better.

Thank you for showing your support.
