Labour's new ‘dark arts' strategy
Senior Labour figures have given up hope of beating Nigel Farage in 2029. There are two causes for this pessimism. One is the economy. Forecasts suggest living standards will continue to decline over the next four years. The other is illegal immigration, which Keir Starmer will continue to make noises against, but which his human-rights-lawyer instincts prevent him from tackling. Faced with such a grim future, some Labour advisers are speaking about leaving the government to avoid having their reputations tainted by what comes next. Others are more ruthless. They point to another tool: the practice called 'opposition research' but known better as the 'dark arts'. The aim is to target Farage not by engaging with his ideas, but by using the press to reveal compromising information about his inner circle to tarnish Reform's reputation. This is not a new feature of politics, but Labour's recent personnel changes suggest a hardening in strategy. Damian McBride – whose tactics when employed by Gordon Brown were so toxic that even Alastair Campbell denounced them – is back as an adviser to Yvette Cooper. Paul Ovenden, the government's new director of strategy, spent his time in opposition directing Labour's attack and rebuttal unit. Sources tell me that an 'attack team' has been assembled in No. 10 with the remit of challenging Reform. The team will work under Morgan McSweeney, Starmer's political secretary, who was brought into the centre of politics by the original 'Prince of Darkness', Peter Mandelson. In the early 2000s McSweeney worked on Mandelson's 'Excalibur system', a database which New Labour used to gather information about internal political rivals and intimidate recusant party members. He then led the purges against the Corbynites and supporting media institutions, such as the Canary, in part through the digital collection of anti-Semitic activity on social media. Farage has been so scrutinised in his decades on the front line of politics that even Labour knows digging up his old controversial comments is pointless. Instead, I am told, the attack operation will focus more on the people surrounding him. George Cottrell, officially an unpaid Reform adviser, who in 2016 served eight months in an American jail for wire fraud, has been mentioned as a potential target. Public records and Meta's own transparency tools show Reform UK's official Facebook page has at least one administrator based in Montenegro – where Cottrell lives and operates part of his business empire. This finding has been verified through Facebook's 'Page Transparency' feature. In recent days, a mysterious Substack named 'The State of UK' has published detailed investigations into Cottrell's business network. Much of this is reminiscent of the tactics which Democratic operatives attempted to use with Donald Trump: pursuing legal, financial and reputational warfare against not just him, but those around him. The campaign is likely to fail here for the same reason it failed in America. It hands Farage the narrative that he is a popular figure being hounded because he is a threat to the establishment. The political class no longer controls the conversation in the way it once did. The idea that stories can be seeded in the Times and picked up by Newsnight and assumed to have public impact belongs to a media ecosystem that no longer exists. Most voters will not hear smears unless they are mocked or repurposed on social media – and by that point, they usually serve the opposite purpose. How the establishment responds to the increasingly credible prospect of Farage becoming PM will have consequences for the future of liberal democracy. The two-party system has historically survived by accommodating challenges. Unlike our continental neighbours, we avoided revolutions not through suppression, but by absorbing dissenting voices into the system, allowing change to happen peacefully. A hysterical reaction to Farage risks ending that tradition. He is not calling for violence but for politics rooted in the national interest, democratic instinct and popular consent. If the response to that is smears and legal warfare, it will not be him who looks dangerous – it will be the system itself.

Illegal immigrant who taunted Brits on TikTok fled Germany for ‘soft touch' Britain after travelling from Afghanistan
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) AN illegal migrant who taunted Brits on TikTok from his taxpayer-funded hotel room fled Germany for 'soft-touch' Britain. The Sun told yesterday how he racked up a million views by boasting of crossing the Channel by dinghy, saying: 'Tell your friends to come.' Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 9 The TikTok asylum seeker smirking on dinghy to the UK on Saturday 9 The illegal migrant shared social posts wearing a balaclava 9 He is also seen in photos from his travels to France He posted a step-by-step guide to reaching the UK before hosting a Q&A in the Afghan dialect Pashto. Today we can reveal he swapped stays in Germany and France — two safe countries — to reach 'soft-touch' Britain, one of 434 boat arrivals on Saturday. The man, using the online handle Alexandra420, was moved to a hotel near Heathrow from where he shared eight clips encouraged others to make the journey. It also emerged that months before coming here, he warned Afghan asylum seekers they could be sent home from Germany.

Last night Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp blasted: 'This illegal immigrant had multiple opportunities to claim asylum in other European countries before choosing to come here. 'The Home Office and police should be urgently investigating this man for encouraging others to enter the UK illegally and producing a step-by-step guide showing them how to cross. 'Facilitating illegal immigration is a criminal offence. Enough is enough. "Everyone crossing the Channel illegally by small boat must be removed either to their home country or a safe third country. The Labour government need to get a grip of this crisis.'

'I say this as a warning, not a threat. Learn the civil attitude. Otherwise, perhaps where you came from is more suitable for you.' The asylum seeker wrote of the video: 'Listen to this woman's speech, and indeed, she has spoken what she means. 'This law will be applied to Afghans at the earliest opportunity.' In shared social posts he poses in front of Berlin's Altes Museum, and in a keffiyeh headdress. In another he showed off the city's Alexanderplatz.

Another photo shows him at an unidentified train station platform wearing a black puffer jacket with cream cargo trousers. We can also reveal he changed his TikTok bio after entering the UK to include a British flag — mocking taxpayers stumping up billions to put up 32,000 people in around 210 migrant hotels. In his 45-minute Q&A session, livestreamed on TikTok on Tuesday, he told his 70,000 followers: 'Finally, I left Germany. Then they moved me into France.' Later, he attempted to make a sarcastic joke by claiming he had not come from Germany — despite admitting it multiple times. A follower asked: 'Brother, have you been to Berlin or not?' The man replied: 'Yes – oh, no, no, I haven't been there, brother. I've never been to Berlin.' He then laughed for several seconds before adding: 'And I've never lived in Germany.

Migrant in court over 'hotel kiss' By Rachel Dale A MIGRANT appeared in court yesterday charged with sexually assaulting a man at an asylum hotel targeted by protesters. Mohammed Sharwarq, 32, is accused of kissing him on the neck without his consent after approaching from behind on Tuesday night at the Bell Hotel in Epping, Essex. Sharwarq indicated a not guilty plea at Chelmsford magistrates' court but admitted two counts of common assault and four counts of assault by beating during a clash with other men. District Judge Lynette Woodrow set a hearing date of September 30. She remanded Sharwarq in custody, as she was not satisfied he would otherwise return to court. Protests started outside the hotel last month after an asylum seeker was charged with sexually assaulting a 14-year-old local girl.
