The article came from Labour Sources:
Sources: Socialist Review Nov. 1986 (Ian Birchall) and April 1995 (Tony
Dabb), The People's War (Angus Calder), Civil Liberties in Britain During
the 2nd World War (Neil Stammers), Lifelong Apprenticeship (Bill Hunter),
Engineers At War (R. Croucher).
not from the Daily Mail or Telegraph so why would they lie?
