This nonsense of ‘allies of’ spinning BS and getting it regurgitated by senior journalists really needs to end

Josh Simons resigned before a full independent investigation could examine how he paid PR to investigate journalists when running Labour Together

That’s the story

Reform win a seat: The true Volk have spoken and we all must listen.

Greens win a seat: Early reports that Muslims may have ‘voted’ (an ancient Islamic practice designed to steal elections). How severely should the franchise be limited in response?

Woken up to lots of unhappy messages about us keeping on this story

Sorry but if a political org - run by a now Minister - hires private intel to smear journalists then takes these baseless smears to security services, I will investigate it.

And keep investigating until accountability happens

More generally I think sometimes our obsession with 'foreign interference' blinds to all the domestic interference

If we don't think foreign oligarchs should be able to buy British politics, why do we think it's ok that domestic oligarch can?
