Wait a second. Lobbying registrar says that Allan's firm's clients include British Horseracing Authority - which, I recently revealed, was involved in a completely opaque - in fact, illicit - lobbying campaign paid for by billionaire track-track owners to exempt the industry from higher taxes at the budget.

Treasury sources tell me it succeeded. Reeves: "Each of us must do our bit"... does that include clients of No10 director of comms lobbying shop?

Last Tuesday, I awoke to an email from the High Court, rejecting an attempt to silence me with an interim injunction

This came as a surprise, because I'd no idea anyone had applied for an injunction. Even though this was an "on notice" injunction application

A quick WTF 🧵

The end of an era for the anti-fascist movement - Searchlight founder Gerry Gable retires.

With the publication of the final print edition of Searchlight, the magazine's founder and often-times editor, Gerry Gable, has announced that he is stepping back from running the magazine.

The final issue, a huge 72-page look back over the magazine's history and achievements, comes shortly after Gerry's 88th birthday, and in it he writes that:

"When I sat down with a couple of former 62 group leaders in 1975 to discuss possibly relaunching Searchlight, the anti-fascist newspaper we had published in the mid-60s, I had no idea that it would set a course for me for the rest of my life...

"...having recently celebrated my 88th birthday, I intend now to take a bit of a back seat and leave the day to day running of the magazine in the hands of the very capable editorial committee which has been taking some of the burden and pressure off me for the last two years or more.

"...They are, if truth be told, much more suited to the future which we have charted for Searchlight, being more at home in the world of social media and the like than I ever would be. As such, they will steer our work increasing into the digital universe where already it is having an impact that, frankly, I have been amazed by."

In recognition of his extraordinary work over the decades he has been declared by the team who will carry on the work online to be Searchlight’s 'Editor Emeritus'. He will also remain Honorary Chair of the Editorial Committee.

You can read his valedictory editorial here:

A 🆕 report indicates inconsistencies between the amount of #cigarettes produced and the #tax paid by BATK, British American Tobacco’s Kenya subsidiary.

The report from @InvestigativeD and @TaxJusticeAfric suggests a tax discrepancy of up to $28 million.

Financial appeal for @copscampaign to assist with costs for reporting the #spycops inquiry. This is important because most of the media has barely published or broadcast a word on the recent hearings. Donations from #union branches especially welcome✊
