Britain's press refuse to report on the stark realities unfolding in the country due to the Public Order Act (1986).
Ofcom's code embeds it; preventing all-but positive discussion of ethnicity at Section Three.
From rape gangs to abrupt demographic change. Our "Free Press" 's silence is explainable in law.

1st of a selection of documents to be uploaded tonight. Here @joshsimonsmp (Labour Together) emails Morgan McSweeney & Paul Ovenden, copying in Tom Harper (APCO) Worldwide. Harper led investigation into me, my family, colleagues & journalists including @Gabriel_Pogrund
2nd document to be published tonight. Here, Tom Harper of APCO advises @joshsimonsmp on how to make a 'crime complaint' to the NSCS (a part of GCHQ) about me, my colleagues and family. Harper coaches Simons on how to get their attention. Note the subject line.
Everything Harper says here about what happened is untrue - there was no 'hack' of Labour Together data, and no attempt to 'interfere' with democracy. Instead, me and my fellow journalists were trying to protect democracy by warning people about the true nature of the McSweeney/Starmer project.
Joint Statement: Paul Holden and Andrew Feinstein Regarding Labour Together, APCO and the Labour Party
On Wednesday last week we received documents from Labour Together following Subject Access Requests that we submitted to Labour Together in February 2026. The documents provided by Labour Together are deeply disturbing.
They show that Labour Together and APCO targeted us, our colleagues, our associates and Paul’s family with utterly false and highly defamatory allegations, and that this was done with the knowledge of the highest levels of the Labour Party. Indeed, we are now of the view that the operation to investigate us, our families and associates was effectively a joint operation run by the Labour Party, Labour Together and APCO.
This highly invasive campaign was launched because of Paul’s factually accurate reporting. This reporting raised serious questions about whether Labour Together and Morgan McSweeney deliberately failed to report £730,000 in donations to the Electoral Commission in violation of the law. It is now plain that Sir Keir Starmer benefited from the work funded by these donations and that they facilitated his rise to power.
We are calling for a full inquiry into Labour Together.
We also call on Sir Keir Starmer to clarify his role in this scandal. Considering the documents that have been disclosed to date, we find it nearly inconceivable that Sir Keir Starmer did not know about this despicable project that included Labour Together reporting us to the National Cyber Security Center (NCSC), a part of GCHQ, based on utterly false and highly defamatory allegations. These highly defamatory allegations were then shared with at least one major newspaper outlet.
The newly released documents reveal six important facts.
First, they show that Morgan McSweeney and Paul Ovenden were aware of the APCO and Labour Together investigation into us from at least January 2024. McSweeney was the Labour Party’s head of campaigns and subsequently Sir Keir Starmer’s Chief of Staff in Number 10. Paul Ovenden was the Director of Labour Party communications and subsequently Head of Strategy in Number 10.
The emails show Simons arranging a meeting between himself, Ovenden, McSweeney and Tom Harper, a senior APCO employee, to discuss the investigation into us. A third Labour employee was copied into the email, but, because of redactions, we do not know who this is. We ask the Labour Party to confirm who else was copied into this correspondence.
The excellent @PeterKGeoghegan and Democracy for Sale have confirmed with a Labour Party source that the intended meeting did take place.
Second, they show that APCO’s Tom Harper actively coached Josh Simons and Labour Together on how to submit a ‘crime complaint’ about us to the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), a part of GCHQ. Harper provided text for Simons to submit to the NCSC. The decision to complain about us to the NCSC was made only days after Simons had emailed McSweeney, Ovenden and Harper about APCO’s upcoming report into us, asking for a meeting to discuss its contents.
Third, Josh Simons has repeatedly claimed in public that he appointed APCO to investigate a ‘hack’ of Labour Together materials. But the new documents show that Labour Together and Simons did not conduct any meaningful cybersecurity review to establish whether materials had been hacked from Labour Together, or where else they may have been sourced from.
Labour Together did, however, appoint a cybersecurity expert to review a potential hack in late 2025. This review, a summary of which has now been disclosed to us, shows that there was no ‘hack’ of Labour Together. This is obviously true, as we have repeatedly explained that the investigation into Labour Together was based on documents legally leaked from the Labour Party by whistleblowers concerned about misconduct by the Party’s most senior officials, open-source materials, and Freedom of Information requests.
Fourth, they show that Josh Simons and Labour Together told the NCSC that they were reporting us because they were concerned that Paul’s reporting ‘may be a co-ordinated effort to discredit Labour Together in order to undermine Mr McSweeney and by extension, Mr. Starmer in the run-up to next year’s general election.’ It is our view that this joint Labour Together, Labour Party and APCO operation was launched because Paul’s factually accurate reporting would have shed light on the highly problematic and unlawful aspects of Sir Keir Starmer’s rise to power.
Fifth, they show that APCO had sent a ‘case summary’ to Josh Simons of Labour Together on the 20th of November 2020, on the basis of which APCO were contracted by Labour Together two days later. The ‘case summary’, setting out a proposed scope of work, clearly identified us as journalists. From the very beginning, therefore, APCO and Labour Together knew that they were looking to investigate journalists – the very journalists who were reporting accurately on Labour Together, Morgan McSweeney and undeclared donations.
Sixth, they show that Simons wrote to an unknown person at the Labour Party in November 2023 asking for ‘intel’ on us. This shows that Simons’ immediate response to announcement of Paul’s book was to seek the assistance of the Labour Party. At the time, we were both Labour Party members. The reply to Simons’ request has been redacted in our documents. We call on the Labour Party to release all documents to us relevant to this scandal, and to confirm whether Josh Simons, Labour Together or APCO were provided with any of our private, personal information.
🚨 Labour’s Digital ID Bill Has Arrived
We now have the first details of the government’s new Digital ID Bill - officially called the "Digital Access to Services Bill".
The plan builds on systems and laws that are already being put in place, including:
* The existing GOV UK One Login system (whose serious problems we’ve covered extensively)
* The GOV UK Wallet
* And the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025, which created the legal framework for so-called "Digital Verification Services"
This Bill would go much further.
Among other things, it would create an official government Digital ID system and link access to government services through a single One Login account.
The implications of this are enormous - and needless to say, Digital ID was never in the Labour manifesto.
We need to do everything we can to stop this Bill - will you help us today by becoming a member?

We need to give this a huge pushback but we can't do it without your help. Lots of new members have joined us this week but we need more.
We've already had an impact in getting a climbdown on the "compulsory" aspect - even if we all know the risk is Digital ID just becomes compulsory later... or impossible to live without.
The best time to stop this is right now. If you don't want to risk Britain becoming a "Papers Please" country - now is the time.

In the game of life, Alex Zanardi left nothing in the tank. I remember when he asked me to write the foreword for his book. I asked him anything you want me to say? He said: Well, I need to order new legs- how tall do you think I should be?
Simply known as 'The Pass'...
During the 1996 Monterey Grand Prix at the WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, Alex Zanardi passes Bryan Herta at the The Corkscrew during the final lap of the race.
Some remarkable comments from Lance Stroll today on the 2026 rules ahead of tweaks coming into play for Miami.
"I think it's fundamentally, just, so flawed," he said.
"F1 is not so fun to drive. I drove other cars over the break, I tested some F3 cars, and it's like 1,000 times more fun and better to drive, because you have your right foot, you give what you want and you get what you want."
