Investigative journalist Paul Holden has released a groundbreaking book that has caused shockwaves in Downing Street and made headlines on Fleet Street. Titled “The Fraud: Keir Starmer, Morgan McSweeney and the Crisis of British Democracy,” this book delves into the fraudulent activities of the Labour Together project. Holden reveals that the project was primarily driven by Morgan McSweeney and Steve Reed, both familiar figures to readers of Inside Croydon.

Reed, who has been a Croydon MP since 2012, worked closely with McSweeney during his time as leader of Lambeth Council. McSweeney, who now serves as the Prime Minister’s Chief of Staff at No10 Downing Street, previously worked for The Campaign Company, a Croydon-based public relations firm owned by David Evans.

The book has already had significant repercussions, leading to the resignation of Downing Street’s director of strategy and potentially No10’s director of communications. The allegations outlined in “The Fraud” shed light on the murky dealings of Labour Together, which evolved from a professed pluralistic organization within the Labour Party to a factional funnel for undeclared donations from wealthy individuals.

Holden’s investigation raises concerns about the lack of transparency and potential legal breaches within Labour Together. The book also highlights Starmer’s shift away from his initial pledges and the involvement of Reed and McSweeney in the antisemitism crisis during Corbyn’s leadership.

Furthermore, Holden’s account uncovers how Labour figures actively lobbied the Equality and Human Rights Commission to investigate antisemitism within the party. The book exposes the connections to pro-Israel lobbyists and sheds light on Reed’s campaign against Inside Croydon’s editor.

“The Fraud” paints a damning picture of a corrupt and factional period in Labour’s history, revealing the contempt that senior figures hold for truth, decency, and the law. This eye-opening book has already had a significant impact and is essential reading for those interested in understanding the inner workings of British politics.
