Matthew Goodwin wants us to worry about a ‘new elite’ of media workers and academics, not the actual elite of billionaires — like his backers. SOLOMON HUGHES unveils the trail

Labour’s new Treasury unit will ‘challenge unnecessary regulation’ by forcing nominally independent bodies like Ofwat to bend to business demands — exactly what Iain Anderson’s corporate clients wanted, writes SOLOMON HUGHES
DR DYLAN MURPHY looks at a Big Brother Watch report which exposes the government as an enabler of DWP secret spying on benefit claimants

THERE is a professor on the TV telling you that Britain is run by a “new elite of radical, woke, middle-class liberals” who want to stop you from feeling “British” enough — and that it is the real problem, not the “old elite” which is “defined by its extreme wealth.”
So what does it matter if both the professor and the channel are backed by the Dubai-based investment firm of a New Zealand billionaire?
