Internal documents from the UK’s Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) leaked by a whistleblower reveal a plot to “kill [Elon] Musk’s Twitter” platform with a harassment campaign targeting advertisers.
The CCDH is an “anti-disinformation” non-profit activist ally of Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s Labour Party and messaging vehicle for far-left think tank Labour Together.
The DisInformation Chronicle published the CCDH’s internal monthly planner showing their objective is to “kill Musk’s Twitter” through regulatory action in the EU and UK dating back to March 2024.

These CCDH documents are particularly important because Labour Together political operatives have been teaching election strategy to Democrat presidential selectee Kamala Harris and her running mate Gov. Tim Walz, prompting Politico to call Labour and the Democrats “sister parties.”

This is their internal monthly planner. Their goal is to also trigger regulatory action, although they are a tax-exempt nonprofit. pic.twitter.com/b3TFMA5LLm
CCDH held a private conference this past summer with the usual suspects of anti-free speech liberal groups organizing against Musk, including the Biden White House, Rep. Adam Schiff’s (D-Calif.) office, Biden State Department officials, the Soros-funded Media Matters for America, Canadian MP Peter Julian and the Ford Foundation.

The think tank’s strategy involves targeting the X platform’s advertising revenue with pressure campaigns and coordinating with the Democrats to draft broader regulatory legislation aimed at combating online “misinformation.”
As Politico and The Washington Post recently reported, British operatives from Labour Together have become advisers to the struggling Harris-Walz campaign, characterizing the think tank’s founder Morgan McSweeney as the “election mastermind” who also aided Starmer’s rise to become Prime Minister.
From the Disinformation Chronicle:
The new British government also believes that a Harris defeat would leave Starmer “alone” as the “keeper of the center-left flame” and in “worrying isolation” as “the Grand Atlantic Alliance’s last hope.” On top of providing election strategy, over 100 “current and former Labour staffers” have begun knocking on doors for Harris this summer, drawing howls from Trump surrogates such as Sebastian Gorka, who called it a “bloody outrage.”
The Stateside dispatch of Labour personnel has been depicted in British media as a self-interested gambit to keep America’s war machinery closely aligned with Israel and Ukraine, and billions of American defense dollars flowing in both directions.
However, these are only the visible parts of the British invasion. McSweeney’s Labour Together has been operating in the U.S. for several years through CCDH.
The Starmer/Labour Together formula for regaining power in the U.K. relied heavily on CCDH’s aggressive efforts to deplatform rivals on the Left and Right by lobbing accusations of bigotry, misinformation, and other misdeeds.
Musk responded on X to the bombshell revelations on Tuesday, calling CCDH a “criminal organization.”

X has become the left’s top target for censorship since Musk bought the Twitter platform in 2022, leading to the return of many banned voices, including former President Donald Trump, Alex Jones and Infowars.
This is what actual foreign election meddling looks like!
