Labour Anti-Semitism - Sinister Dexter
July 14, 2019, 9:08 AM

The Murdoch Sunday Times has joined the attack on the Labour Party today, over allegations of anti-Semitism. There is even a video in circulation, which featured during an interview with Emily Thornberry on The Andy Marr Show™. This features an ostensibly plausible man called Tim Dexter, although what the ST has not told is that his concerns about racism and other forms of discrimination may not be wholly consistent..

Leak Inquiry - Free Speech My Arse
July 14, 2019, 4:15 AM
As the Mail on Sunday defiantly publishes even more of Kim Darroch’s cables to the Foreign Secretary - the one who last week threw him under the bus and then dissembled when put on the spot by Andrew Neil - the paper is defending itself by telling the world it is “Fighting for Free Speech”. This is hypocrisy of the finest kind: the MoS wasn’t so keen on free speech when it spiked the John Whittingdale revelations.

Top Six - July 14
July 14, 2019, 3:24 AM
So what’s hot, and what’s not, in the past week’s blogging? Here are the six most popular posts on Zelo Street for the past seven days, counting down in reverse order, because, well, I have domestic stuff to do later.

Will Isabel Oakeshott Protect Her Source?
July 13, 2019, 9:23 AM
With the Metropolitan Police launching a Proper Leak Inquiry after someone made the contents of confidential cables from the UK’s Ambassador to the US available to mercenary hack Isabel Oakeshott - which then appeared in the Mail on Sunday last weekend - the question that has been asked of several newspapers in recent history was being asked again. Would that source’s identity remain a secret?
After Assistant Commissioner Neil Basu openly brandished the Official Secrets Act 1989 as he confirmed that the Met was now playing Hunt The Mole, minds were becoming focused across the Fourth Estate. Protests were made about the freedom of the press, although what this really means is that rather a lot of hacks suddenly realised that the OSA 1989 contains the ominous caveat “There is no public interest defence”.

Fawkes Labour MP Smear OWN GOAL
July 13, 2019, 5:18 AM
An increasingly common occurrence of late has been a series of attempts by the perpetually thirsty Paul Staines and his rabble at the Guido Fawkes blog to smear left-leaning politicians and commentators, only to see the authors of those efforts fall flat on their excessively remunerated faces. The latest example is an amateurish and dishonest attack on Laura Smith MP, who represents Crewe and Nantwich, by teaboy Tom Harwood.
