Morgan McSweeney unleashes his Farage strategy
Photo by Henry Nicholls/AFP By the way, Britain has the most expensive energy costs in the developed world. We need to build houses, laboratories, data centres and transport – and we have the most expensive energy costs in the developed world. So, clearly, there is a lot of work to be done on the government's objective of 'abundant clean energy'. There is also a lot of work outstanding on all the other four of Keir Starmer's well-chosen 'missions' and all three of his 'foundations'. Those were, to repeat, economic stability, secure borders, national security, kickstarting growth, future-proofing the NHS, smashing the class ceiling, and making the streets safe. Instead, we are still talking about the Online Safety Act. The Labour party is digging its heels in, and is apparently now shaping its entire cyber-strategy around the legislation. The party has released a new advert accusing Nigel Farage, who has criticised the act, of supporting Andrew Tate. The ad shows a picture of the two men together, originally posted by Tate in 2019, and reads 'Nigel Farage says Andrew Tate is an 'important voice' for men. Andrew Tate said women should 'bear responsibility' for being sexually assaulted.' The party is claiming, in effect, that Farage's approach to online safety will leave young boys open to radicalisation. Not long before, champions of the Act had said Farage's opposition put him on the side of Jimmy Savile. Defending the legislation on Sky News, Peter Kyle, Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, said 'Make no mistake about it, if people like Jimmy Savile were alive today, he'd be perpetrating his crimes online. And Nigel Farage is saying that he's on their side.' Kyle later doubled down on X, posting 'If you want to overturn the Online Safety Act you are on the side of predators.' The Tate line may not seem much of a change from the Savile one – it's hard to choose between two such squalid figures. But Labour appears to be pleased with it. The Sunday Times's front page had the details of the ad before it went out. Credit was given to the in-house team at Labour HQ, and an allusion made to a new, macho-sounding 'attack team', designed to undermine Farage and headed by chief of staff Morgan McSweeney. Speaking to the Sunday Times, a senior Labour source proudly said: 'We'll be looking to continue taking the fight to Farage in this area. He's not thought through his approach when it comes to online safety and we'll continue to expose it.' It is hard to know if Labour insiders really believe this about Nigel Farage – if a cack-handed analysis of Tate's popularity really amounts to support for his public statements. It is hard to know if Labour therefore also believe the 525,000 of their citizens who have signed a 'Repeal the Online Safety Act' petition are clamouring to hear more from Andrew Tate – or are 'on the side of predators'. It was similarly hard to know if the party really believed Rishi Sunak did not think adults convicted of sexually assaulting children should go to prison, as an ad claimed in 2023. But the Online Safety Act seems a very strange law to make this stand around. For one thing, it was a Sunak policy, receiving Royal Assent on 26 October 2023. For another, it is unenforceable, since anyone can dodge the restrictions by downloading a VPN. (It has been reported that children's exposure to pornography has gone up since the law was passed.) And lastly, and again, it serves none of the government's main aims. Perhaps sharper eyes would discern wisdom in the move. After all, Morgan McSweeney is praised for his close sense of popular opinion, and for delivering the huge majority that the government still retains. (Though, if his celebrated ruthlessness forced Corbyn's expulsion, he may be remembered for undoing Labour, not saving it.) There is not such a libertarian streak in Britain as there is in, say, America. And, if it needs pointing out, everyone cares about preventing sexual abuse. If half a million people have declared their opposition to the Act, there may be many more quietly in favour. Labour's resolution may turn out to be prudent. Subscribe to The New Statesman today from only £8.99 per month Subscribe There are also seedier explanations to be heard. It is a fairly developed rumour in Westminster, and even more so in the technology sector, that Peter Kyle wants Bridget Phillipson's education brief. If closing off dark parts of the internet is popular with anyone, it is popular with nervous parents. Kyle has more background in education than technology, and was briefly shadow minister for schools in 2021. However well advised, Labour is set on raising the stakes. They are telling voters that opposing the bill amounts to supporting predators. And they are taking measures to escalate awareness of the legislation, associating it directly with the Labour party. The gauntlet seems to be 'if you don't like it, don't vote for us'. And, for better or worse, they are shouting it from the rafters. [See also: Sally Rooney is the conscience of a generation] Related

Fife councillor defects to Nigel Farage's Reform UK
'After thoughtful consultation I am delighted to join Reform UK to become part of a team who want to deliver real change for our communities,' she told The Courier. 'I want more grown up, authentic politics and an opportunity to work together to offer better. 'I look forward to this exciting new chapter and I remain fully committed to serving the people of Fife.' Fife councillor Julie MacDougall. (Image: Fife Council) Cllr MacDougall quit the Labour Party after she was not selected to stand in the Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath constituency ahead of the 2024 general election. The party instead selected Medical Aid for Palestinians CEO Melanie Ward, who was elected in July 2024. Cllr MacDougall, whose father John served as MP for Glenrothes between 2001 and 2008, said the decision was "disrespectful and insulting". In a post on X, Reform Scotland UK welcomed the Fife councillor to the party, tweeting: "Delighted to welcome Cllr MacDougall to Reform UK. "Julie MacDougall is a hardworking Fife councillor having previously been elected for Labour, she is the daughter of former Fife Labour MP John MacDougall. Julie is a fantastic local champion and a great addition to Team Reform." Reform UK has secured more than a dozen councillor defections across Scotland in recent months. Renfrewshire councillor Jamie McGuire, formerly of Labour, defected to Reform in June, amidst the heated Hamilton, Larkhall, and Stonehouse by-election. The 25-year-old, who previously served as chair of Glasgow University's Labour club, said at the time: "I joined Reform because I see it as a genuine opportunity to tackle the deep structural issues holding Britain back. 'We are in a state of managed decline – with overstretched public services, an uncompetitive tax system and too many people being left behind."

Speaking at The Herald's Unspun Live event, he said: 'I think at the moment it is a race between Reform and Labour over who comes second, and unless the popularity of the Labour government improves, Labour may find themselves in much the same position as they are at the moment. "The lesson of the last Westminster parliament is not to presume that the outcome of the last election is going to determine what happens at the next one.'

Government working on contingency plans after ruling on Epping migrant hotel
Ministers are now bracing for further legal challenges from councils across the country. Security minister Dan Jarvis told Times Radio on Wednesday: 'We're looking at a range of different contingency options following from a legal ruling that took place yesterday, and we'll look closely at what we're able to do.' Asked whether other migrant hotels have the proper planning permission, Mr Jarvis said: 'Well, we'll see over the next few days and weeks. 'Other local authorities will be considering whether they wish to act in the same way that Epping (Forest) District Council have. A STATEMENT FROM NIGEL FARAGE This is a victory for the parents and concerned residents of Epping. They do not want their young women being assaulted on the streets. This community stood up bravely, despite being slandered as far right, and have won. They represent the vast… — Nigel Farage MP (@Nigel_Farage) August 19, 2025 'I think the important point to make is that nobody really thinks that hotels are a sustainable location to accommodate asylum seekers. 'That's precisely why the Government has made a commitment that, by the end of this Parliament, we would have phased out the use of them.' Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has indicated that councils run by his party will consider their own legal challenges. However, a number of these councils do not have responsibility for planning permission, which may limit their ability to launch legal challenges. Mr Farage also called for peaceful protests outside hotels housing asylum seekers to put pressure on local authorities to take the same route as Epping Forest. Writing in The Telegraph, he said: 'Now the good people of Epping must inspire similar protests around Britain. 'Wherever people are concerned about the threat posed by young undocumented males living in local hotels and who are free to walk their streets, they should follow the example of the town in Essex. 'Let's hold peaceful protests outside the migrant hotels, and put pressure on local councils to go to court to try and get the illegal immigrants out; we now know that together we can win.' On Tuesday, a High Court judge ruled the former Bell Hotel in Epping must stop housing asylum seekers by September 12. Epping Forest District Council had asked a judge to issue an interim injunction stopping migrants from being accommodated there. The hotel has been at the centre of a series of protests in recent weeks after an asylum seeker who was staying there was charged with sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl.

A joint intelligence unit involving the @NCA_UK and French counterparts has helped dismantle at least 52 organised immigration crime gangs operating in France. — Home Office (@ukhomeoffice) August 17, 2025 The Home Office had warned the judge that an injunction could 'interfere' with the department's legal obligations, and lawyers representing the hotel's owner argued it would set a 'precedent'. Now, Conservative-run Broxbourne Council in Hertfordshire has said it was taking legal advice 'as a matter of urgency' about whether it could take similar action to Epping Forest District Council, which is also run by the Tories. The latest Home Office data showed there were 32,345 asylum seekers being housed temporarily in UK hotels at the end of March. This was down 15% from the end of December, when the total was 38,079, and 6% lower than the 34,530 at the same point a year earlier. New figures – published among the usual quarterly immigration data release – are expected on Thursday, showing numbers in hotels at the end of June. Figures for hotels published by the Home Office date back to December 2022 and showed numbers hit a peak at the end of September 2023 when there were 56,042 asylum seekers in hotels.
