I actually can't believe it. The Labour Party is briefing smears about me, AGAIN, because of my factually accurate, public interest reporting - this time about their candidate in Holborn & St Pancras, Sagal Abdi-Wali. AGAIN, the Labour Party is going after a journalist living in Camden, because I've reported on Camden Council's terrible record on housing and their increasing investments in companies supplying weapons to Israel like Elbit, Lockheed Martin and Palantir. They're pushing a story implying factually accurate, rigorous reporting of Sagal Abdi-Wali is somehow illegitimate or sexist - two days before people cast their votes to choose the new MP for the constituency. I wrote some of those articles with Jessica Murray, who, in addition to being brilliant, just so happens to be a woman! It is risible, pathetic stuff from a Party and campaign that plainly can't answer straight questions about her record; and a Party whose deplorable recent history of embracing Islamophobia and anti-black racism I exposed in considerable detail in The Fraud. What makes it worse is that this is just six months after it was revealed that Labour Together, APCO and the Labour Party were part of scheme that made up the most disgusting defamatory lies about me, my family and colleagues, and which saw me reported to the security services. A despicable report containing these outright lies and fabrications was given to journalists and handled at the very highest levels of the Labour Party. That, too, was in response to my factually accurate, rigorous investigative journalism that exposed the sordid and unlawful origins of Sir Keir Starmer's disgraced leadership and the role of Labour Together. Now it seems the Labour Together project lives on in Sagal's campaign. I am keeping an open mind on Andy Burnham. I told Mark Steele on his wonderful podcast two weeks ago that I would "dedicate my life" to Burnham if he brought in electoral reform. But it seems the Labour Party machinery he has inherited is the same rotten machinery that was captured by Labour Together and gave us Sir Keir Starmer. Yesterday, I started asking Sagal to disclose who else was funding her election campaign, after it was revealed her campaign received £50k from Dale Vince, who funded Labour Together and backs new oil & gas drilling in the North Sea. Sagal has not answered. Today, I'm being smeared for asking straightforward questions about Abdi-Wali and her record - questions she has repeatedly failed to answer, despite multiple right of replies sent to her and her campaign. To me that shows the Labour Party is terrified that voters in Holborn & St Pancras might find out the truth about her record as a councillor and vote accordingly. And that seems like an invitation to publish a mega-thread setting out everything there is to know about Sagal and her record. That'll be dropping tomorrow.
