The reporting Labour Together wanted to bury was all about £730k in undeclared funding received on McSweeney's watch

That undeclared funding paid for the polling and campaigning that helped power Starmer’s rise to the Labour leadership, and then to Number 10. Its exposure could have proved fatal.

More importantly, APCO’s reports - and the security services’ interest - gave Labour Together material to brief to the media, effectively stopping further reporting into its undeclared finances.

At least one senior lobby journalist bought Labour Together’s fantastical story.
