A Labour Party thinktank cutout posing as a grassroots anti-“Fake News” group worked to kneecap left-wing outlets that were a threat to its globalist-left worldview, and right-wing outlets that positively covered U.S. President Donald Trump and ‘Mr Brexit’ Nigel Farage, it is claimed. The revelations come in an article published by Dropsite News by South African investigative journalist Paul Holden, citing “a trove of documents that expose the operation” and promoting his forthcoming book.Crucially Morgan McSweeney, the British political activist who propelled Sir Keir Starmer to the office of Prime Minister, went on from leading this well-funded “quintessential example of astroturfing” and became Starmer’s chief of staff in government, making the alleged censorious schemer “the most powerful unelected official in British politics”.Holden claimed:McSweeney and his allies blew up British politics, with a blast radius that extended across the pond to the United States… to launch an astroturf campaign that mounted a ferocious attack on non-conformist media and free speech on both sides of the Atlantic.The campaign was catalyzed by a desire to demonetize and delegitimize outlets who reported sympathetically on factional opponents of McSweeney and his allies… That campaign directly sought to “cancel” outlets reporting favorably on Nigel Farage and the Brexit Party.It also made several ad-hominem attacks on U.S. President Donald Trump personally and sought to ensure that Breitbart was barred from receiving any advertising at all from the UK’s Cabinet office. This was all conducted behind a veil of misdirection and secrecy.
