By Nazli TarziThe Times’ Labour Together scoop is actually six months old
15 February 2026 @ 3:28 pm
The big scoop on Sunday 15 February has been that Labour Together paid investigators to spy on journalists. The problem is that this ‘scoop’ actually came out months ago: If you've seen the Sunday Times today you'll know Labour Together were secretly hiring people to investigate journalists. Sadly you won't know that The National exclusively […]

By Charlie JaayEven Wes Streeting is decent compared to Keir Starmer
15 February 2026 @ 1:54 pm
Imagine if you will, for just one moment, having the fucking brass neck to (falsely) boast that you booted Jeremy Corbyn out of the Labour Party while that utterly vile specimen, Epstein’s best pal, Mandelson, was up to his eyeballs in nonce-worshipping. Corbyn’s Labour certainly had its faults, but it never recruited Peter Mandelson. No […]

As such, it wasn’t surprising to see him denying the creeping authoritarianism which is happening under Keir Starmer’s government: Phillips "This is not a country […]
By Willem MooreRupert Lowe’s ‘Restore’ is bad news for everyone but the Green Party
15 February 2026 @ 12:03 pm
As we reported on 14 February, Reform-reject Rupert Lowe has formed his own party called ‘Revive’. Or was it ‘Repeat’? Hang on a minute… …oh, it’s actually ‘Restore’. We’re sure it won’t cause a problem that the ‘Reform’ and ‘Restore’ are basically the same word. And sarcasm aside, it does look like the Lowe vehicle […]
By Willem MooreMcSweeney’s sabotage outfit spied on Murdoch hacks
15 February 2026 @ 11:41 am
‘Labour Together’ — the sabotage outfit that brought down Jeremy Corbyn and conned Labour members into choosing Keir Starmer — paid investigators to spy on, and smear two Times journalists. Unsurprisingly, the pair — Harry Yorke and Gabriel Pogrund — have publicised their experience as unique. @Gabriel_Pogrund and I were the subject of a disgraceful […]
