I'd like to be wrong, but I suspect that outside of people who are already in the labour movement, nobody will be talking about this next week let alone the next election. How much of a role did SDS play at the last election, when that was already known about?
It's been ""known"" for years that Special Branch helped murder people in Northern Ireland, and outside the republican community and the small subset of mainland "left" that pays attention, it makes no difference.
(Far too many of the "british people" read rightwing press outlets which will minimise this and some other issue, probably Brexit, to rile up their readers to demand more not less authoritarianism)
The same police were doing the same things when Labour was in government. Also, Labour this time around want more money for the police, and we wouldn't really call Labour anti authoritarian, would we?
"The government always wins the election" is a very typical British saying and quite true.
