The findings from I-Unit investigations have made front-page news in many of the world’s most respected newspapers including The Guardian, Mail on Sunday and Daily Telegraph in Britain, India’s Hindustan Times, Le Monde in France, El Pais in Spain, The Australian, The New York Times, Washington Post and USA Today.
Our work has dominated political coverage in South Africa, Namibia, the Maldives and Kenya.
We are proud to provide public interest journalism at its best.
While the investigation was largely ignored by the mainstream British media, its findings dominated online discourse for more than two months. It reached 3.6 million people online and #LabourFiles was ‘trending’ in the top 10 hashtags in the UK for several days.
The evidence presented in the investigation rewrote the recent political history of Britain. After watching the documentaries, journalist and author Peter Oborne noted that he felt “ashamed that I bought into the narrative about Jeremy Corbyn. I should have been a lot more careful and scrupulous about some of my journalism. Others could make the same assessment."
On social media, prominent British journalists described The Labour Files as “deeply shocking” and “one of the most important TV documentaries in recent years.”
My darling wife, B is watching Al Jazeera's #LabourFiles. In our four years of marriage, I have never heard her yell the word "CUNT!" so repeatedly as she has done whilst watching the four episodes.

Google "The Labour Files" -- that amazingly important investigation by Al Jazeera, into the Labour Party, which was published a few weeks ago and coincided with Labour's annual conference...
Then Google the word "detest", today.
"An almost complete blanket of silence. It really is a remarkable demonstration of the near-totalitarian behaviour of British ‘journalism’."https://t.co/JNcFfAOjaj
