Yesterday, Mr Steerpike reported that the founder of the left-wing campaign group Momentum, Jon Lansman, had been removed as a person of significant control from one if its two companies.
But it appears that there have been even more machinations going on behind the scenes at Momentum HQ. Today, the online listing of Momentum Campaign (Services) Ltd at Companies House was updated once again to show that after being removed as a person of control, Lansman has been reappointed as a director of the company. He had previously left the position in January 2017.
It seems as if he’s taken the place of Christine Shawcroft, who’s resignation from the position of director was also announced on Companies House today.
Shawcroft is no stranger to controversy herself. In 2018 she was forced to resign from the Labour Party’s disputes panel, after it was revealed that she had opposed the suspension of a Labour member accused of Holocaust denial.
