The information raises concerns about how a Labour-linked digital communications firm might be attempting to shape the opinions of the British public without its knowledge or consent. 411 claims the work is not connected to the Labour party, but refused to say who was funding The Amplifiers project and for what purpose. A Labour party spokesperson told Declassifiec “We do not comment on confidential arrangements with any contractor”. Paul Holden, journalist and author of The Fraud, told Declassified: “These sorts of paid-for influencer campaigns are both silly and self-defeating. “When they are inevitably uncovered, they undermine the public’s trust and make people more responsive to the overtures of the likes of Farage. You can’t fight misinformation with astroturf campaigns. It’s stupid to even try”.

‘This is from Zack Polanski, the Green party leader. M4 Starmer says Britain is at a fork. But he’s spoon fed policies by Reform - it’s clear the direction hes taking us all. For bold politics- taxing the super rich, nationalising our public services, funding our NHS, Greens stand ready to replace Labour. And this is from Liz Saville Roberts, the Plaid Cymru leader at Westminster. 44 The prime minister is living in fantasy land. Seven months from the Senedd election, Labour isn’t even in the game in Wales. Neither Starmer nor Farage offer the solutions Wales needs. One takes Wales for granted; the other would tear our communities apart.

But he also tarred those in his own party and others on the left who believe wealth taxes will solve all their problems. "It is a tempting prize... tax cuts that magically pay for themselves, a wealth tax that solves every problem... we can all see these snake oil merchants on the right and theleft” he said. That could be a jibe aimed at Reform or Andy Burnham, whose interventions have dominated the conference.
