Are we already in full-blown fascismβ€”or some uncanny in-between? What separates authoritarianism from fascism, and does America add its own twist? These essays dig in.

Paul Holden's blockbuster exposΓ©, THE FRAUD, uses internal Labour Party files to lay bare the rotten foundations of the Starmer regime.

The book has already prompted one leading government advisor to resignβ€”and it's not even out yet.

A single page from Paul Holden's explosive new book, THE FRAUD, has led a top Starmer aide to resign.

There are over 500 pages still to come.

Yesterday's revelations about Starmer's aide Paul Ovenden are from a devastating upcoming book.

There's going to be a lot more damning revelations to come.

So I really recommend pre-ordering Paul Holden's 'THE FRAUD': orbooks.com/catalog/the-...
