Labour Together, a think tank run by Morgan McSweeney, a former top aide to British PM Keir Starmer, paid APCO Worldwide to target The Grayzone and its journalists, according to leaked files.
The PR firm APCO Worldwide was hired to spy on journalists, including those at The Grayzone, with the goal of discrediting the outlet, as reported by The Grayzone, citing internal documents.
The scandal may further destabilize the already struggling Starmer government, with Labour Together's actions sparking outrage and calls for transparency and accountability, as noted by The Grayzone's investigative report.
