Скачать или смотреть Inside The Labour Together Smear Campaign Against Sunday Times Journalists

The Labour Together scandal is the latest storm threatening to capsize the government - and Gabriel Pogrund has been right at the heart. For the first time, he describes what happened when a Labour think tank set private investigators on a journalist. Their secret report falsely accused Gabriel of acting as a Russian agitator and "grotesquely subverted" his faith in an attack on his and his colleagues' reporting in The Sunday Times.
