It's really not that long since saying this was a 'crank conspiracy theory'. They've since admitted/bragged about it in print, but somehow it's not been mainstream fact till now.
The tone of 'elaborate and perfectly-executed deception' still sounds admiring, but I suppose it's progress...

I think we can say there’s definitely Noticing Things going on now, at the BBC. You might have got this stuff piecemeal here and there but now they’re just laying it out in blunt terms.

Josh Simons says he hired ‘a PR company’ to investigate a ‘suspected illegal hack’
But if you’re worried about a hack, why pay £30k to a PR firm?
A lot about this story isn’t right. And a cabinet office minister is at the centre of it

McSweeney goes - but Josh Simons in the frame over targeting journalists
Cabinet Office minister hired a PR firm to investigate journalists. His explanation is bewildering - and begs one big question. How can Starmer keep him on?

With McSweeney gone, how will Starmer get his best ideas?
Some of his best hits includes appeasing the Far Right, selling everything to Palantir, repressing pro-Palestine protesters, demonising migrants, censoring a crucial climate report and being more transphobic than even some US republicans
