Have Labour’s youth membership numbers really dropped by 95%?

Young Labour membership numbers have indeed dropped and it could make all the difference come the General Election...
Right, so a recent video I did covering the newly elected chair of Young Labour being the son of Starmer’s super donor Gary Lubner, a man who’s wealth originates in apartheid South Africa in the 1980s has, as a number of convenient results for the Labour leadership have occurred, especially where the Labour Party online voter system Anonyvoter is involved, raised further suspicions this might be another example of Labour vote rigging. However, there might be another reason for this and it might have more to do with the state of young voter support for Labour under Starmer, because a shocking stat that Labour has haemorrhaged 95% of its young members, those aged between 14 and 26, so is young Lubner’s selection more to do with the state of youth members left behind than any kind of vote tampering and what effect will that have on the Labour vote come a general election?
Right, so this story has come around off the back of the election of Jack Lubner, son of one of Labour’s biggest donors, getting elected as the new chair of Young Labour and speculation amidst many stories of vote tampering and vote rigging within the party going on, not least of which the one in Croydon East now subject to a police investigation and more than a month after this scandal came to light still no word as to whether any action has been taken by the party against any individuals alleged to have been involved in that. All very shady looking, all warranting perfectly justifiable questions being asked, not least of which whether the scandalised Labour online voter system was involved in this latest election to Young Labour, but according at least to the Labour Party’s national Trans Officer for Labour Students, which is another youth body within the Labour Party, Willow Parker, the elections for Labour Students and Young Labour which happened concurrently, were indeed conducted via an online vote, but in this instance was overseen by Civica Election Services, who provide online balloting services to all other parties and showed why there was actually never a need for Labour to have its own in house version, when there was already an established service for this and where there is full transparency in the vote. It also begs the question as to whether Anonyvoter in which case, or the use thereof, has been formally suspended, because if not, Labour would be using two different systems and why would that be? We don’t know either way because as far as I’ve been able to ascertain, there has been no confirmation of this either way by the party. This is a story arguably for another day though, I don’t want to get into that any more than to lay the groundwork for this video that we can rule Anonyvoter out.
So it was a fair selection then? Well yeah, it very much looks that way. Willow Parker in her tweet on this put up a screenshot of a message from David Evans the Labour Party Secretary displaying Civica’s logo and blurb at the bottom. Unless this is fake and I’m not into conspiracy theories, I’m not going there, it looks to be legit.
