Alas, Ahmed was not quite able to erase all mention of his own online existence during this vacuum, thanks in no small part to the vigilance of Wirral In It Together, a blog which covered the events surrounding #Brickgate, which coincided with Angela Eagle’s ill-fated leadership attempt during the last Labour coup. Given the contentiousness of the events that happened at this time, I would understand if Ahmed saw fit to delete his exchanges with members of Wallasey Constituency Labour Party, which Labour’s National Executive Committee suspended in the wake of #Brickgate, especially as these exchanges might question his suitability for his current role. . .It would appear that Ahmed has tried to erase his previous attempt to bring Corbyn down three years ago. Now he is collaborating with the likes of Rachel Riley in order to achieve this particular end under the guise of ‘online safety’, which is akin to Herod taking charge of a nursery given her Twitter activity and her alliance with a movement not immune to its own brand of abuse. . .: Seen But Not Herod: The man behind the CCDH
