So it worked?
I think it did work.
I think by the time the story recurred again was when Paul Holden brought out his book in 2025, the story came.
But by that stage, you know, we'd had an election.
Josh Simons was an MP, then became a junior minister in the cabinet office.
Morgan McSweeney was Keir Starmer's right-hand man in Downing Street.
So to all intents and purposes, if the idea was to stop this negative story from having a political impact, it did at the time.
I'd argue that our story maybe changed that.
What happened after your story?
Yeah, a lot.
I'll try not to get too into the weeds of this.
So we published our story in early February.
And it's fair to say that...
Democracy for Sales, a new organisation, only a couple of years old.
We've had some big stories.
People, you know, 3 million reads last year, which I'm very proud of.
But this story really did kind of break our small servers.
It really was.
