In 2023, Labour Together—a think tank key to Keir Starmer's leadership shift—paid APCO Worldwide £30,000 to investigate reporters like Sunday Times' Gabriel Pogrund and Harry Yorke, Guardian's Henry Dyer, Paul Holden, and Matt Taibbi after stories on its £740,000 in unreported 2017-2020 donations. The firm labeled them 'significant persons of interest' and speculated their info came from an illegal hack, even submitting reports to the National Cyber Security Centre. Labour Together's then-director Josh Simons, now a minister, called it a probe into a suspected hack unrelated to UK journalists, but targeted reporters described the materials as a 'dodgy dossier' aimed at discrediting their work. Press freedom groups raised alarms over the tactics amid broader concerns about political pressure on scrutiny.

Interim manager Michael Carrick has no plans to recall Rashford from his season-long loan at Barcelona, even after the 28-year-old's 10 goals in 34 appearances and recent starts in La Liga.
