The Labour Files - Episode 4 - The Spying Game I Al Jazeera Investigations

- Опубліковано 5 лют 2025
- In the final episode of The Labour Files - The Spying Game - Al Jazeera’s Investigative Unit tells the sinister story of how The Labour Party used hacked data from a journalist to investigate their own members who were critical of the party. Despite questionable ethical and legal issues, and with the knowledge of the party’s leadership, the hacked emails were used as evidence to discipline Labour councillors and activists in a London borough. The Spy Games lifts the lid on underhand tactics inside the Labour Party to impose order on party rivals using stolen confidential data.

Doing the job that the British media should be doing. Well done.
But we know that they never will because they are run by the right-wing establishment.
British media is gutter press. But they write what people want so that says a lot of the British people state of mind, state of sewage & gossip.
Why arent any other msm talking about it? It’s simply astonishing!
@Ben Avery
The point is the majority are but there are of course always individuals who are exceptions to the rule.
@@bdbusiness7896 They're complicit especially by failing to report any of it
Thanks, Al Jazeera. You're doing a real public service here.
Assaf Kaplan was hired by Labour as a social listening and organising manager, a new post described as “a crucial new role at the heart of Labour’s new approach to digital campaigning”.
👍👍👍 Down with Starmer!
Indeed.
Kaplan had been employed in Israel's army unit to closely monitor the Palestinians (for the purposes of repressing their responses as victims of Israel's brutal apartheid).
wrrr
This series (watch them all) is the hardest hitting exposé indicting a sitting leader in a democratic state (and their cabal of corrupt allies) that I have ever seen. The content creator and producer deserve a major award.
Agreed. I can't believe I swallowed the bait. What a mess.
wrr
...just my sentiments.
@@brianwarden7250 not bashing you but how did you swallow the bait? because you believed the media, I am glad you woke up x
This expose is shocking. This shadow Cabinet is a travesty has a left leaning Party. What a treacherous load of individuals. These traitors fought on a left wing Manifesto which has been effectively torn to shreds. Any criticism of Israel is automatically called antisemitism. Jewish people, in the Labour have been treated savagely. Black people don’t feel safe. Islamophobia is rife. This is down to the treacherous Napoleon wanna be Starmer. Labour is now just another. nasty party. I don’t even think the Tories would stoop to these fascist methods.
😊
What’s creep’s me the most is the silence this shows get.
Nothing from the media, nothing from bbc (even though it mentioned Panorama), nothing from Tory.
If I didn’t catch it by chance on Twitter i would have totally missed it, it is like it never existed.
Also, it's very strange how all the Labour MPs asked about it, say they haven't seen it then run away...So, they know about it, but "haven't seen it". Yeah, right!
It's difficult because it seems as if the emails were simply forwarded to people and that labour members were caught leaking information to the press, outside of whistleblower procedure. Hence making them subject to the whips discipline
Because it's hysterically exaggerated propaganda 😂 This is normal internal party politics, you're a naive fool if you think otherwise.
@@zippymufo9765 If it was propaganda then they would have refuted it. They didn't.
@@stiofain88 Why would they bother to refute propaganda that only a small fringe is taking seriously? That's like saying they should be refuting the Flat Earth Society, or that your lot should be refuting the Daily Mail accusations about you. Some things are self evident and for them to take this seriously is below their dignity. These issues were already documented in a more intelligent and less hysterical manner in the books LEFT OUT and THIS LAND and other studies; it's only the Corbynites who exist in their own echo chambers who think this is some smoking gun revelation.
I'm glad these documentaries were made. They have confirmed my worst fears.
Absolutely sickening that these people aren’t in jail.
Actually, it's absolutely sickening that they're not castrated and crucified. Maybe they had a good idea back when severed heads were up on pikes on bridges into London as a warning. Keir Starmer is yet another fascist enabler of the terrorist 'state' of Israel and the genocidal, discredited and evil ideology of zionism, along with a betrayer and destroyer of the Labour Party. One prays fervently that he'll soon be behind bars and that Labour will either bring back Corbyn or someone in his mold, no matter how much the British establishment works itself into a lather of hatred over the idea of a socialist as PM. At this time of the zombie Truss torpedoing the Tory cabal (and that mob of fascists can't go down fast enough), Obergruppenstürmfuhrer Starmer IS NO VIABLE ALTERNATIVE, and Labour under this creep is DEAD.
Why would they be in jail?
Many years after they abrogated Clause 4, I re-joined the Labour Party to vote for JC as party leader.
This well-researched and presented series shows how scheming and corrupted Labour has now become, functioning as a prop for the proto-fascist leanings of British politics and its support of the UK's bankrupt economy.
I was recently sent a reminder to renew my subscriptions and I cited these films as reason for them to go whistle for my money.
none of the mainstream media will mention any of this
Like the corporate-controlled US, the UK is fake democracy fraudulently disguised as real democracy. Using its propaganda-wing state broadcaster BBC and its corporate owned and controlled press, Tory or Labour governments are selected on the basis of which can best serve the interests of Establishment at the time. Each time the Tories become too blatantly toxic and a liability for the Establishment, they need a change of puppets and they allow a right-wing-led Labour Party to get its turn at the trough. Labour leader Starmer is more rightwing authoritarian than many Tories, which is why the Establishment is media-grooming him for PM.
Why would they when they are complicit ,msm are the establishment
This deserves far more attention than it's getting.
The algorithm works against it on UA-cam.
@@staticcouch135 Why would anyone pay attention to Al Jazeera propaganda? This is all old news anyway.
Hacking is a criminal offence under the Computer Misuse Act 1990 and becomes an offence under the Terrorism Act of 2000 if it fulfills the following criteria: "Designed to influence the government or to intimidate the public or a section of the public, and Made for the purpose of advancing a political, religious or ideological cause." This hack seems to fulfill the criteria for criminal prosecution under both acts. Every person who knowingly receives data stolen in this way and uses it for a political purpose is a co-conspirator and equally guilty. All this before you even consider the GDPR and Data Protection Act which makes it a serious offence to collect personal data without consent and to pass it to a third party. All these people should be in the High Court (apparently some already are but on the wrong side of the bar). It is a disgrace that the DPP and Police have done nothing to press charges and an even bigger disgrace that some of those who are clearly guilty of criminal charges will be sitting in cabinet after the next election.
Hi, Iv'e copy pasted your comment to my FB page. Thanks for the clarity!! Peace!!
Thank you for your journalism..
As a labour supporter I was struggling to vote for Keir starmer
After watching this I can't vote for the labour party...😟
The rightwing Blairite/pro-Israel lobby controls the Labour Party and it can never be otherwise in this totally corrupt system based on greed, privilege, gross injustices against the poor, sick, vulnerable etc. The successful right-wing media demonising and toppling of Corbyn was led by state broadcaster BBC. Each time the Tories become too blatantly toxic and a liability for the ruling elites, they need a change of puppets and they allow a right-wing-led Labour Party to get its turn at the trough. Like the corporate-controlled US, the UK is, effectively, a one-party state fraudulently disguised as a 'democracy'.
@@keithfallinghorse6732 I think I will struggle but in Keir said himself, "Israel is NOT an apartheid state" Amnesty international say it is. I can see with my own eyes it is. I cant support the evil of the state that openly kills women & children.
@@keithfallinghorse6732 No. Any rich country where millions of families have to depend on food banks to survive is an accepted norm, is obviously shameful evidence of a totally corrupt system for the few not the many i.e. fake democracy. With the full support of Sir Keir and Sir Ed, the so-called 'opposition'. The UK is, effectively, a one-party state. The energies of the many good people working for a fair and just society should be directed at fighting for a republic. Anything less will always end in bitter disappointment. If the option for a republic was offered in a referendum it would get a lot of support.
@@keithfallinghorse6732 it is better to not vote for any party, than vote for one as rotten as Starmer’s Labour Party, one must have some propriety, some integrity, it is obvious that Evans, Starmer and those around them are lawless and without ethics.
@Don Doodat I wont vote Tory but I can't vote for a right wing!!
[how does that happen?]
Labour party, just cant. doesn't represent me.
All British media somehow are all silent about these leaks . Lol
Which shows the right wing media love him, which tells us we should be worried 😨
Zionists own and control 85,% of UK main stream media
Smarmer is the new boy in town. Groomed for p.m.
The most impressive piece of journalism in the last decade. No matter one's politics this matters and it is horrifying. I can't believe we all swallowed the bait.
Not everyone did. Then again I'm pretty sure nobody knew it was this bad...
"Journalism" 😂
Wow this should be all over the new internationally!
I wasn't even a Corbyn supporter but I cannot believe we swallowed all the bait and believed these people. What a travesty. This was very difficult to watch. Shameful.
Aljazeera's investigation reports are unique.
They are Superb.
Remember guys. This also is happening in USA, Canada, France, Germany, Australia, etc
Ts a worldwide cabal
This series - the labour files- has been eye opening. From when these allegations started, I would try to explain the difference between antisemitism and antizionism to people when it came up in conversation. The behaviour of these people is abhorrent, and effectively, in itself, racist against Palestinians. This is proper journalism, sadly disappearing these days from BBC and ITV, and should be applauded. The silence in response to these programmes is deafening.
Well said
Not a mention of this in the UK.
BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Sky News should just give up now... they haven't produced anything close to resembling proper journalism like this since 9/11 and the War of Terror.
Didn’t Labour also hire an ex-military “intelligence” officer around the same time (early 2021) for “social listening”?
They did. Actively involved in spying and oppression. But obviously fits in the new Labour under Starmer 😕
Yeah, he was ex-IDF

Oh good, a secret part 4 of this horror show for me to digest...
In truth I'm sure there is material for numerous documentaries, considering the files go back to 1998.
shame this is the shortest in the series. would have like to see more.
And yes there is enough material for numerous docos, I hope they produce more
These films are the most damning exposé of a party machine gone bad ever seen. Starmer's party continue to have 'no comment'. That line cannot hold.
It's pretty clear that the disciplinary system was abused by officials within the party. Although I'm fairly sure we already knew that from a report? I assume (or hope) that these people have already been removed.
No, they are in charge still lol
Ian McNicol gave a speech at Labour conference. These people are shameless and still in the party.

Out of 650 MP’s, Starmer was the only one invited to become a member of the US rightwing neo-con's Trilateral Commission which explains how Starmer went from becoming an MP in 2015 to Labour leader in 5 years with the help of state broadcaster BBC which lead the demonise Corbyn media campaign. The rightwing Blairite/pro-Israel lobby minority, controls the Labour Party and it can never be otherwise in this totally corrupt system based on greed, privilege, gross injustices against the poor, sick, vulnerable etc. The UK is, in effect, a one-party state.
How COULD Hamida Ali be "unaware" of the hack - IF she was getting copies of the emails all the time!! 🙄
Starmers Labor Party is as bent as the Conservatives.
It is disgusting what happened to David white all I keep saying is I have never seen anything like this before in my life
Democracy in Britain is dead and it was the right of the Labour Party that killed it.
Thanks for this series AJ, great journalism, something else that's as good as dead here.

I would like to know if the Labour party have ever taken donations from Israel and how much . Can this be obtained under FOIA ?
It’s worth a try - I have no idea though, I think there’s a charity called ‘the good law project’ in the UK maybe if they have contact details somewhere you could email them to see if it would be possible for you to submit an FOIA?
@@makslargu5799 Thanks just dropped an email 👍
Watch all 4 x episodes of The Lobby also on Al Jazeera. Very enlightening.
Donations are the least of it. They're a nasty power hungry cult who target anyone who believes in equal rights and protections for the downtrodden. They're white supremacists who are allied with the white supremacist leadership of Israel.
starmer has been funded by the zionists. He is a converted jew and married to a jew.
Sue every stinking one of them!!
once again the old 'rules based' comes out, trundled to the front of stage. WHO writes the rules, WHO changes the rules to suit, WHO has been caught, time and again, BREAKING THE RULES??

Labour are not the lesser of two evils.
they are evil personified
They're worse than the Tories.
Not just them but here in Australia
I thought that the Tories were the champions when it comes to dealing with inflated egos. It terns out that this is major problem affecting the mechanisms of governance, with a variation of nuances in the tactics how to tackle it.
Everybody should watch this Labour is disgusting treating their members like this shameful
I think John le Carré would have loved this incredible plot-line ... Power, abuse of power, greed, multiple twists, disinformation, deliberate lies, threats, malice, spying ... Someone should write this into a book so that those alive 200 years from now can read about it, just like we can read about our history of 500 years ago. Same stories. Different times. Politicians will always be politicians regardless of country or race - same dark triad traits. Narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy. It is said that people don't become politicians to serve their country or constituents. They become politicians to serve and enrich themselves.
Keir Starmer’s labour needs to show real understanding of how hurtful this forensic 4 part documentary is.
Power at all cost is malignant to us all.
Understanding? They need to be replaced. They are completely and utterly corrupted.
Why is this not discussed on MSM?
Time to take the workers party back once and for all! ❤️🖤🚩🏴
its sunk, let it go
@@biancacaputo7174 you can give the Tories another 5 years if you desire it, but I'll at least try to stop them.
This is one of the most powerful political parties in the world. And as much as I dislike Labour now, I can't help but think about how all of this lead to the Labour vote imploding and the Tories coming into power. UK, you could have had Corbyn. You got May, Johnson, Truss and Sunak...
Keep up the good work, while you're at it look into MI5's child trafficking
Wow 😩
Game of spies
A real worry.
Now we know what's the parliament going do about it?
It's not this, toothless, Parliament, The Labour Party should be concerned about.
It's, firstly, the ICO, then the police, then the courts and, finally, and most importantly - us - The Electorate.
We are the people who have the final - final - say, on this Labour Party. Let's hope we speak wisely!
This Labour Party does - not - have my vote.
Applaud.
The plot thickens.
New definition of AntiSemitic - Unliked by the Labour Party!
Their "anti semitism" is nothing to do with being against semitic people. If you support nationalising the utilities you are classed as 'anti semitic' by the Labour thugs; if you support railway nationalising, or oppose privitisation of the health service you are classed as 'anti semitic'.
They don't even bother to say what the party's excuse was for the accusation. That's if the party even bothered to make one. Says it all, really
@@flowsnake8732 I'm pretty sure they said Labour have refused to comment...
We need a Democratic Socialist Party
Kier Starmer is Not a Zionist...
He said so during the leadership election...
... But, after he was elected party leader, at a meeting of Labour Friends Of Israel, he did say he would "rip out anti Zionist antisemitism" from the Labour Party...
He said the same thing in his conference speech, except for the "anti Zionist" bit, probably because that was weaponising, and misrepresenting, antisemitism, as the Forde Report identified.
If it wasn't for the fact that I saw him on TV, stood on a podium, in front of 2 huge Union Jack flags, saying he was honest, had integrity and was patriotic... I would have some serious doubts about his honesty...
Brilliant comment lmao
Truss has signed up to zionism now
@@fuckbankers... Has she promised to: "rip out anti Zionist antisemitism from the Conservative Party" yet?.... (after all the mistakes she's made in the past weeks... she's not That stupid...).
The Labour party is hoping to gain power soon and big tech is all in on providing access to critics email accounts.
I didn't know this was going on. It's shocking that a party who aspires to and is preparing to govern. Is behaving like this. People keep saying how bad the Tories are. But how can I vote for a party who behaves this way. If you are wanting to govern, you need to embrace the many.
love the subtitles! "Secure Stammer", "Circus Dharma" ;)
There is an old saying. “Don’t over egg the pudding”.
It’s not a pudding, it’s a giant soufflé.
Where is the other part to this episode 4?
This is a short episode - 20 minutes or so. There’s no other part.
@@davidwhite1919 shame. theres plenty of material surely they could have pshed out a 50/60minute piece.
@@MixtrisUFOimages The series was several months in the making and involved exhaustive research, interviewing and editing. In the end they had clear subject headings and lots of material for the first 3 episodes. But I’m guessing not so much on hacking of the press and journalists. So although it’s slightly odd to have a shortened 4th episode I think they got the balance right.
If they know all this why haven't anything changed??
Sadly, this long-overdue investigation is now likely to help keep the Tories in power.
Very doubtful, more likely that unfortunately, this scummy Labour lot are about to be elected on default because the Tories have sabotaged themselves
i dont think so. the fact that the MSM are not reporting on this suggest somebody on high wants labour to form the next govt.
Im a socialist and its very clear we are under attack by the labour party and not the tories
Labour party are the Tories! They have ditched every policy for the many, no to a living wage, no support for strikers, no renationalisation, no taxing of the the rich, pro war, pro monarchy, pro austerity, pro privatisation if the NHS, racist and anti democratic wanting to criminalise protesters. The Tories are now a far right English Nationalist Party.
Labour under Starmer ARE the Tories.
Just split up the party already. Be like the alliance were with a liberal/social democratic party and a socialist party in permanent coalition.
Would you go into coalition with the scum who run the Labour Party .This investigation is awful
there is nothing left to split. the right wing faction seem to have booted out the left and effectively taken over the party hook line and sinker.
Corbyn and his followers should have formed a new party, but then again corbyn is weak and i dont think he could ever win power, so perhaps it is wise they do nothing
There needs to be an update.
UK politics is playing out as pre-determined by the Establishment. Using its propaganda-wing state broadcaster BBC and its corporate owned and controlled press, Tory or Labour governments are selected on the basis of which can best serve the interests of Establishment at the time. The next act is an early general election to get Starmer elected PM because he's more rightwing authoritarian than many Tory MPs. Out of 650 MP’s, Starmer was the only one invited to become a member of the US rightwing neo-con's Trilateral Commission, founded in 1973 by US billionaire Nelson Rockefeller. All part of the increasing authoritarian lurch in the UK, in goosestep with the US and EU etc.
Globalist on steroids. It has a truly revolting agenda.
absolutely shameful. everything about Starmer; his demeanor his approach to politics reeks rightwing authoritarianism. He truly is a disgusting individual.
Could not of said it better myself your statement was factual with content
Lot of Americans use to say "we, the most powerful country" but I suspect they are not ...
Is it just me or did anyone else have to take a second to realize that they actually didn't get Boris Johnson to narrate this last episode?
this is way better then James Bond secret tactics intehbritishgovernment
Daniel Andrew is. Really bad here he is the most caruped politician ever he runs a really bad team
Absolutely telling.
David White is an anti semite is a joke. I campaigned for David back in the 70s and I can tell you will not find either a more sincere man or better Socialist
If you want to know I also remember Dave Evans as some more in the bar at Ruskin than out campaigning.Imo he has always been more of a carerist rather than someone who wants to represent the working class. I expect he'll end up sitting beside someone else I have a low regard for Tom Watson in the Lords gravy train.. TE

After his good showing in the 2017 election, Corbyn didn't mess up because of accusations of antisemitism, which didn't bother most people.
He ballsed it up because he looked like he was stalling Brexit.
