One side of this has never even been fully explored to my knowledge: who were these “British intelligence officers” and were there any grounds for @tnewtondunn to think they were credible?

Obviously, their spirograph was ridiculous and if Tom had bothered to check (or care?) he would have discovered the neo-fascist source material. But was there any reason he might have believed this anonymous group was legit?

It’s an interesting case study of the dark actors involved in the military-intelligence campaign against the Labour leadership in the press 2015-2019, which Declassified UK’s @kennardmatt did a good job of covering last year. https://bit.ly/2JLhQaO
