PRESS GANG has been quiet for the past six months.
There’s a reason.
Editor Paddy French has been working on a major project with media commentator Roy Greenslade.
It’s a forensic account of the sordid career of Rupert Murdoch’s “Fake Sheik” — Mazher Mahmood.
He was gaoled in 2016 for conspiring to pervert the course of justice.
It will be published next month — more details shortly.

This kicks off the Press Gang autumn season. Among the articles on the stocks are:
The House of Farage
PRESS GANG takes a trip to the seaside …
… to have a closer look at the Reform leader’s new “home” in Clacton.
The James Murdoch Mystery
RUPERT MURDOCH’S youngest son dramatically called out his father’s right wing editorial policies and left the board of the family business in 2020.
And yet he remains a director of Elon Musk’s Tesla.
Saint Andrew Norfolk
LAST MONTH saw the formal canonisation of the late Times reporter with a high profile memorial at St Brides, the journalists’ church on Fleet Street.
This, and a series of obituaries, have engaged in “narrative cleansing” — removing all traces of Norfolk’s highly damaging attacks on Britain’s Muslim community.
White Grooming Gangs
KEIR STARMER and the media establishment are not telling the truth about grooming gangs.
To frame the issue as an Asian problem, they’ve had to purge white grooming gangs from the debate.
Israel and the Gaza Genocide
THE “ZEALOTS for Zionism” are working overtime.
In the vanguard, Jake Wallis Simons — the former Telegraph and Daily Mail hack forced to resign his Jewish Chronicle editorship earlier this year over Netanyahu-inspired fake stories about Gaza.
Wallis Simons has just published another tract — Never Again: How The West Betrayed The Jews And Itself — which advances the novel theory that the West is in decline and one of the reasons is its hatred of the Jews.
Most sane observers believe the opposite is true.
The West’s support for Netanyahu’s genocide is a boost to the far right and a threat to democracy.
