I’m one of many worried Labour MPs who’ve now submitted Subject Access Requests to both Labour Together and the US firm it hired. Because the evidence is mounting this went beyond journalists and it points to something deeply troubling for a democratic society. If MPs & journalists were being monitored which the evidence points to, that’s not just wrong , it’s a fundamental breach of trust and democracy. So let’s be clear “naive” doesn’t come close to describing the actions of Labour Together. MPs have written to the PM & the General Secretary of the Labour Party for a full and independent investigation into Labour Together and everyone connected to it. No more dodging. No more silence.





















Reports that Keir Starmer to appoint Sadiq Khan to House of Lords. Why does a socialist PM still make people ‘lords’ in 2026? Why does a socialist Mayor even think of accepting? Labour 2024 manifesto promised to ‘replace’ the Lords with a ‘more representative second chamber.’ What happened to that pledge? Labour has a massive majority and should be able to push through long-overdue radical reform. Or just abolish it. But like every PM before him Starmer has found it convenient to keep the Lords largely as it is (bar getting rid of hereditaries, a modest change). In this case ‘elevating’ Khan to remove him as a leadership threat.



'A lot of what [Trump] said is designed to put pressure on me to change my mind and to get dragged into this war' 'I'm the British prime minister, and I act in the British national interest' Starmer defended the UK-US relationship to ITV News Social Affairs Correspondent @SarahCorkerNews
