RT by @OborneTweets: Labour Togetherās attempt to destroy Paul Holdenās reputation ā and the Guardianās complicity in it ā matters because it is the culmination of 10 years of smears, lies and underhand briefings by the right wing of the Labour Party.
Watch Al Jazeeraās The Labour Files. Dozens of people had their lives and reputations destroyed. āSecret dossiersā of precisely the type Labour Together commissioned about Holden were their go-to weapon ā effective because again and again media failed to ask the most basic questions ā Who has written this? Why? How reliable is it?
The Guardian and the BBC were as culpable ā if not more so ā than the right wing press.
It wasnāt until we made the Labour Files in 2022 that anyone conducted the basic journalism of travelling the country and meeting the people who were being smeared. Invariably what we found were perfectly ordinary, decent people ā bewildered by the charges levelled against them, traumatised by their inability to answer back.
The case of Rica Bird and Helen Marks ā two elderly Jewish ladies smeared as antisemites in John Wareās āinfamousā (Martin Fordeās word) 2019 Panorama ā is just one example among dozens (see clip, from Ep 2 of The Labour Files)
The difference this time was that in Paul Holden Labour Together picked on an enormously accomplished journalist who was prepared to fight back.
And it only became a national story because they made the fatal mistake of hiring the incompetent Tom Harper at APCO, who had not understood the first rule of smearing ā you can lie, distort and deceive as much as you like. But it is a weapon that should only be deployed against the left.
