Campaign Lead stands against Rishi Sunak in General Election

07/07/2024

After the failure of the Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to respond to the letter sent to him on 04/04/2024 calling for his resignation, after his poor handling of our public inquiry request into bullying and violence related suicide and harm in schools, which resulted in Court proceedings and the current challenge in the ECHR, led to a decision to stand against him in the 2024 General Election.

His failure along with more than 650 MPs to take any appropriate steps to ensure any investigation into the issues over the last 5 years led to a decision to stand, not to become an MP but to have a platform to highlight the issues , not only to ensure he could be held to account but to ensure all MPs could be held to account as well.

On the 02/07/2024 the Cabinet office finally responded to the resignation letter, just 2 days before the General Election.

The Cabinet Office stated they were unable to answer the questions raised as a result of Court proceedings. These questions included concerns over the deaths of children in UK schools and whether or not the Prime Minister and other ministers and officials, may have deliberately covered up Government failings related to the issues. The Cabinet Office confirmed that the outstanding questions therefore, would need to be investigated by the “next Government”.

Our campaign was obstructed and severely restricted by a number of means during the Election process, including on the day of the election itself. This limited our information from being made available to the wider public, which in the end allowed many individuals to avoid a level of accountability and exposure that the Election process should have brought. This has only provided further evidence that the failures to address the issues by everyone involved are not simply due to incompetence or error and we will say more about this in the future.
