In news that won’t surprise people paying attention at the time but has finally been ‘noticed’ by news reporting (the way British media usually operates), the funds for Starmer’s leadership election including illegal donations, breaches of electoral law, and a shady slush fund from shady interests.

I linked the Novara article as the Sunday Times original is behind a paywall, plus there’s some other links for context.

What’s interesting to me is why this is reaching the surface of the British media now. The press hedging it’s bets in case the dissent in the Tory party does take down Rishi? Plausible deniability as they grow uncomfortable with Labour’s massive polling lead? A warning shot for some perceive recent sleight?
