From Breitbart: The crackdown on freedom of expression and dissenting thought by the UK’s Labour government was hard-baked into its DNA long before it took power, with the “the most powerful unelected official in British politics” having run a shadowy astroturf organisation working to destroy unaligned news outlets including Breitbart, a report states.
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.
Paul Holden is the author of a book titled, “The Fraud: Keir Starmer, Morgan McSweeney and the Crisis of British Democracy.”
Drop Site News reporter Ryan Grim posted a report and wrote on X, “It turns out that CCDH (the Center for Countering Digital Hate), which fought to demonetize Breitbart, The Federals, and left wing UK outlets, was actually a project of the Keir Starmer machine.”
