Book review: ‘The Fraud’ offers the most damning portrayal yet of the Starmer project.
Three years ago Al Jazeera’s series The Labour Files laid bare the ruthlessness, racism and maniacal factionalism of the Labour right and its cynical exploitation of the antisemitism issue to destroy Jeremy Corbyn.
It was resolutely ignored by the British media.

In their remarkable book “Get In”, Times journalists Gabriel Pogrund and Patrick Maguire told much the same story, describing Starmer’s elevation to power as “the great deception … a plot without precedent in Labour history.”
