Inquiry launched into leak of identities of SAS soldiers

Details about the elite unit, part of the UK special forces, are usually kept so secret that its members are barred for life from discussing their involvement unless they receive prior approval.

News of the breach comes just days after it emerged the Ministry of Defence (MoD) had taken out an unprecedented superinjunction after up to 100,000 lives were put at risk of reprisals from the Taliban in a catastrophic data leak.

Around 18,700 Afghans who applied for sanctuary in Britain following the withdrawal of Western forces in 2021 had their names and contact details exposed after an MoD official emailed a secret database to trusted contacts in February 2022. A number of SAS members and MI6 operatives were also compromised in the major leak.

Starmer chose the right time to confront intolerant Farage

There's a party game I've never played called Fuck, Marry, Kill. Before Labour conference, Keir Starmer will have been consulting with his closest advisers on how to play his own version of the game regarding Nigel Farage and Reform UK. This game is called “Accommodate, Confront, Ignore”.
