I think Starmer would prefer people to focus on his latest u-turn rather than on this.

Starmer orders investigation into claim Labour think tank paid for report on journalists
The Cabinet Office will investigate claims that think tank Labour Together hired a PR firm to investigate journalists, the prime minister announced this morning.
Speaking at an event in south-west London, Keir Starmer said there "will be a Cabinet Office investigation into the allegations" that Labour Together paid APCO Worldwide at least £30,000 in 2023 for a report detailing the background and beliefs of journalists working at the Sunday Times, after they ran several stories examining the thinktank's failure to declare where they got their funding from.
Starmer said he had no previous knowledge of Labour Together's report.
The prime minister has faced especially intense pressure due to the close links between Labour Together and the current Labour leadership. The think tank backed Starmer's bid to be Labour leader in 2020 and worked with several now Cabinet ministers when they were outside government.
