Labour's Donations from Peter Hearn

Sky News recently banged on the door of a firm of accountants in Hertfordshire to establish why a Limited Company registered there - with no employees nor website - was the third largest donor to Labour MP's (after two trade unions). MPM Connect Limited is not strictly a shell company as it has healthy finances (it is said to be an "investment company", which is handy as the "person with significant control", entrepreneur Peter Hearn, doles out cash liberally to the likes of Yvette Cooper, Wes Streeting and Dan Jarvis. The three MP's have scored a stonking £345,217 since 2019 from the obliging Mr Hearn, a British citizen.

What struck me as odd, reading the articles via Sky and other sources, was how anxious the three MP's were to stress that the Company was UK registered. Perhaps, I wondered, they were conscious of the statements from their Party Leader, Keir "Sir Woodenarse" Starmer in the House of Commons in February, 2022 when the dead sheep berated unfettered overseas donations from shell companies and claimed that Labour would protect our democracy from the "flood of foreign money" drowning our politics [Hansard 23.02.22].

Curiously, Peter Hearn's Company was actually set up in a different name 20 days before he became a Director by (1) a posh firm of London Solicitors with strong connections to the "Socialist paradise" of Hong Kong, and (2) another member of the Hearn family who, whilst British, told Companies House he was "normally resident" in the, er, USA and gave an address in W23rd Street, New York. That's "foreign" isn't it?

The gone native New Yorker - who holds the Company's sole £1 share - changed his address for service to the Company's registered office address 3 years later - that address being the one also given at the time as Peter Hearn's home address.

No doubt Yvette, Wes and Dan will explain the convoluted Company set-up in due course.

Of course, Starmer himself is a puppet of Labour's major Union donors and is happy to take as much cash as possible from the GMB Union despite their appalling misconduct in recent times, including the allegation that a Labour MP was raped by a GMB official:

Alas, the MSM haven't got round to investigating all that yet.
