This article explores intelligence files compiled on journalists that were reportedly handed over to a Labour minister. According to sources, these files were personally delivered to Josh Simons, who currently serves as a minister in the Cabinet Office. At the time of the handover, Simons was the chair of the think tank Labour Together.

The documents included investigative reports created by the PR firm APCO Worldwide. These reports targeted journalists who were looking into irregularities regarding how the think tank was funded. These revelations pose a significant new challenge for Prime Minister Keir Starmer and his chief of staff, Morgan McSweeney.
