The Labour Together scandal is the latest storm threatening to capsize the government - and Gabriel 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.

Interesting review regarding men’s language regarding women when they think the women are not around. The constant overwrought and melodramatic “fainting” at the utterance of the “p“ word is so insincere coming from a country that allowed its young girls to be groomed by foreign men with a little care or action.

I can’t believe you have someone like Micaela Arneson reading when she can’t pronounce “proboscis”. Seriously! Where was the editor during recording. Dear-o-dear. A well written piece diminished by bad reading.
