Senior figures at Britain’s internal security agency MI5 lied repeatedly in court over the case of an abusive neo-Nazi agent.

This is why the real controversy ended up being what wasn’t there. Downing Street would later claim the Met asked the government to hold back certain messages. Now, the Met have disputed this claim. Starmer and McSweeney's project is a governance nightmare addicted to dishonesty. The glaring, unmitigated conflicts of interest re: Palantir are scandalous. As I wrote in the preface to The Fraud: this is a lawless and reckless project…
