Declassified UK: Shut out by the Labour government

Posted: 9th December 2025

This year, we were shut out of parliament when applying for our media pass, denied entry to the Labour Party Conference, and – for the first time ever – we were barred from entering the biannual DSEI Weapons arms fair.

That didn’t stop us from holding power to account. From locating shady offices to grilling politicians, we chased them down to get the answers that you deserve.

When press freedom shrinks, public support must grow. Help us continue this invaluable work and stay independent and unafraid.

With your support, we will keep chasing down accountability and asking the questions you deserve answers to. Please chip in today.

Yours faithfully,

Martin.
