Hello and welcome back to Page 94's Paul Foot Award shortlist mini-series.

Let's find out who is the fourth of the six journalists shortlisted for this year's award.

Page 94, the Private Eye podcast.

And what is the story that's brought you to the Paul Foot Awards?

Okay, so quite a significant one.

Can you tell us a bit more about Labour Together, just for anyone who hasn't been keeping on top of Starmerite think tanks recently?

Yes.

I mean, as you said in the story, the various MPs they backed include about half a dozen who reached senior cabinet positions.

Rachel Reeves, David Lammy, Shabana Mahmood, Darren Jones.

Lots of people had received Labour Together money.

Obviously, that will be regulated, I'm sure.

Can you tell us a bit more about who's in charge of the regulation?

Who's supposed to be doing it?

And that was a crucial point for the start of my story.

Okay.

We should say the sum of money undeclared in donations was about £730,000.

Yeah.

What happens next after that story is run?

That's a very polite way of saying it, to change the narrative.

Yes, it is a very polite way of saying it.
