Peter Oborne: The Strange Death of British Democracy

"The Starmer government is up to its neck in sleaze...and clearly wants it." Peter Geoghegan sits down with veteran investigative journalist Peter Oborne to discuss how British democracy has been systematically "purchased" by billionaires and political operatives over the last thirty years. We discuss how a sitting Cabinet Office minister used a private firm to profile journalists and then tried to involve the secret services to shut down an investigation into Labour's dark money. This is the story of Labour Together, and why they were so terrified of the truth, that was first broken by Democracy For Sale.
