The organisation claimed to be “more than a new logo”, but they retained the same company number as Labour Together Ltd., still registered as active on Companies House. Image

Here’s why:🧵 Image The Israel APPG’s co-chair is Damian Egan, who is also a vice-chair of the Labour Friends of Israel lobby group.

This man’s shadow looms over Keir Starmer’s ailing administration.

But did you know that Tony Blair met his top Labour Party financer at the home of a senior Israeli diplomat?

I’ve been doing some digging, and I can’t believe what I’ve discovered…🧵 Image Blair’s rise to power was bankrolled by Michael Levy, also known as “Lord Cashpoint”. Levy raised over £100 million for the Labour Party.

But Blair first met Levy at a dinner party hosted by Israeli diplomat Gideon Meir.

Meir was deputy chief at the Israeli embassy in London. Image

NEW: With local elections imminent, the Labour Party fear a disastrous set of results under the toxic Starmer brand.

This man is on his way out of office.

With McSweeney and Mandelson gone, there’s no-one left to protect him from his own cabinet.

But Keir Starmer doesn’t want you to know about his connections to the Israel Lobby.

These are the individuals paying for his obedience:🧵 Image When Starmer visited RAF Akrotiri in December 2024, he said: “We can’t tell the world what you’re doing here.”

For two years, the base was used for spy flights over the Gaza Strip.

In October 2023, Starmer said that Israel “had the right” to cut off food and electricity. Image

Morgan McSweeney told senior civil servants to “just f***ing approve” Peter Mandelson's security vetting.

Now, he has been summoned for questioning.

But did you know that last month, Labour Together raked in another £500,000?

These three individuals are STILL funding them:🧵 Image On March 4th, lobbyist Gary Lubner gave Labour Together another £175,000.

This followed a £50,000 donation on February 24th, ONE DAY after Peter Mandelson was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office.

EXCLUSIVE: I have uncovered evidence suggesting that Labour Together, the think tank of Morgan McSweeney fame, is now being led by a former IDF soldier.

This information does not appear on his Wikipedia page or in ANY recent articles.

I cannot believe Labour have hidden this:🧵 Image In November 2010, a single paragraph in the Jewish Chronicle described Jonathan Kestenbaum as “an ex-IDF soldier [and] holder of the Israel army’s ‘outstanding soldier award’”.

The claim has never been repeated since.

Kestenbaum now sits on the board of Labour Together. Image

NEW: After Morgan McSweeney’s Labour Together operation, a new Starmer-linked think tank has been popping up on X.

An account with 7k followers, but their ads receive millions of views.

I’ve been investigating “Labour Future” and its links to McSweeney.

Here’s what I found:🧵 Image
Image
Labour Future Limited was dissolved in 2022, but was reborn as “Labour Future (2025) Limited” last August.

Their director is Labour councillor Brendan Chilton, and their advisory council includes a key Morgan McSweeney ally.

Is this a repeat of McSweeney’s Labour Together? Image

BREAKING: Labour MP says “lying bastard” Morgan McSweeney is “still running the job”.

Following my investigation yesterday into McSweeney’s unlikely account of a “phone theft”, the MP for East Hull, @KarlTurnerMP, has granted me an exclusive interview.

Here’s what he told me:🧵 Image This morning on Sky News, Keir Starmer said that it is “a little bit far-fetched” to think that McSweeney could have known that “sometime in the future there would be a request for the phone”.

Labour MP Karl Turner told me this morning that the statement is “absolute bollocks”. Image

But Sackman previously worked as a judicial clerk at the Israeli Supreme Court. Image

Keir Starmer is now a Prime Minister without power.

He knows that the country has turned against him, but he sees one last opportunity to distract the public from his crimes.

Here’s the REAL reason Starmer “can’t decide” about joining a war against Iran:🧵 Image Last night, Keir Starmer announced that he would allow Donald Trump to use British military bases in his war on Iran.

Starmer sent jets to protect the Epstein class: war criminals in Washington DC + paedophiles in Tel Aviv.

Within the hour, RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus was attacked. Image
