[UPDATE – 17 August 2022. Esther Baker sued over this article in High Court Case QB-2020-001013. She lost. The court granted both summary judgement and strike-out finding the claim had no realistic prospect of success. No other person mentioned sued and the time limit has elapsed. Judgement here. My follow-up article here. This article has been added to the “DEFENDED!” category and readers may rely on it.]

Jess Philips MP (official portrait, CC-BY-SA 3.0 license).

My last article was an exposé of the repugnant female MP Jess Phillips and her irresponsible, exploitative behaviour towards a mentally ill, alleged child abuse victim Esther Baker. As my article explained, there is now ample evidence Baker (who claims to hear voices) has accused the wrong men of rape. Conveniently for Phillips, one of them was her electoral opponent. The court process Esther Baker has initiated, egged on by others, has left Baker with a costs bill likely to be in the region of £12,000. Law enforcement and the public purse have wasted even larger sums. This article gives details and then provides a contacts spreadsheets for any reader who would like to help organise a boycott.

Unlike Baker, Phillips has no money problems. In fact her most recent register of interests (archive) shows a plethora of writing and speaking engagements. It is easy to see why the Corbynites dislike her so – she is hardly a horny-handed son of toil. In the last year Phillips has had numerous writing, speaking and television engagements (including her book) bringing her in around £45,000. She finds time to be Deputy Editor of House Magazine at £2,000 a quarter. All this whilst drawing a full time salary as a Member of Parliament employed by the good people of Birmingham Yardley.

Phillips has an extraordinary number of enemies –

• The Corbynites hate Phillips for her disloyalty to her Party leader, her general unpleasantness and her unseemly willingness to engage in gainful employment outside her Parliamentary duties. In one video with Owen Jones, Phillips said she would, “knife Jeremy Corbyn in the front” (archive). Phillips has later complained of online “rape” rhetoric by UKIP candidate Carl Benjamin (archive), whilst also appearing miffed that anyone would take her “knife” threats literally.
• Conservatives are, ironically, one of the groups least troubled by Phillips. Many of my colleagues find her divisive rhetoric distasteful but she is in many ways not unlike a Conservative MP, just in the wrong party. And gauche.
• Liberals and supporters of John Hemming dislike her for her support of allegations of rape made by Esther Baker. These have used vast amounts of police time and resources (that could have been spent on other alleged crimes and victims). There have been no convictions and Baker has repeatedly been called a ‘fantasist’ in the national press, for example when the Mail reported the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) had refused to investigate Baker’s allegations (archive).
• Moderates dislike Phillips’ strident, divisive rhetoric on equalities issues. An example was her apparent laughter at the idea of discussing male suicide (archive). It was this incident that sparked Carl Benjamin’s original rape comments. Men’s Rights Activists loathe Phillips for the same reasons as do the far right.
• This site, which focuses on those who mistreat the vulnerable, has focused on Phillips because of her sinister use of Esther Baker, to Baker’s ruin. I do not feel Phillips has a place in public life.

I have seen several different groups express a desire to lawfully and peacefully campaign against Jess Phillips. To help them, I have collated a list of all her external interests – all the companies who pay her. I have also acquired a list of executives and their direct, personal, corporate emails as well as postal addresses in a form easily suitable for mail-merge. All of the information included relates to work addresses. No home addresses (postal or email) nor phone-numbers are included.

My personal suggestion is a boycott campaign asking the companies to drop Phillips, tailored to each recipient. Feminists and left-wing publications are unlikely to be impressed with her treatment of a vulnerable woman. For example –

“Dear Guardian,
I would like to complain about Jess Phillips because of her remarks about knifing Jeremy Corbyn (https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/dec/14/labour-mp-jess-phillips-knife-corbyn-vote-loser-general-election) and her disgraceful treatment of a vulnerable mentally ill woman (https://matthewhopkinsnews.com/?p=6447).
As an ethical newspaper, I am dismayed that you have paid Ms Phillips for articles and it reflects badly, especially because the sheer number of interests she reports demonstrates a far-from-socialist, Ferengi-like interest in acquisition. I would like you to consider allowing other minority and left-wing voices a chance.
Yours faithfully,”

Production companies and broadcasters are likely to shy away from anything that might harm their reputation as are newspapers. As long as letters and emails sent are polite and reasonable, write-in campaigns are perfectly legal.

A forthcoming article will provide similar contacts for media figures who have backed or promoted Phillips, to allow readers to politely express dismay and ask them to choose other idols.

UPDATE

A reader notes the following tweet (archive) –

Liar Jess Phillips told voters she would take no outside work as an MP.
