Problematic history
On 5 May 2026, investigative journalist Paul Holden posted on X:[3]
"@SteveReedMP has been all over the media this past week. But none of those outlets have bothered asking him about his disturbing, unethical rise to the top of the Labour Party.
"I tell that full, problematic story in Double Down News' YouTube video 'Uncovered: The Secret Plot to Destroy Zack Polanski'."[4]
Labour Together
On 13 October 2025, investigative journalist Paul Holden wrote:
"Inside Croydon reported on the politics of the Borough of Croydon, the stomping ground of Steve Reed MP. It reported critically, but I believe accurately, on Reed and his local political allies, as well the Labour-led Croydon Council.
"Croydon Council declared effective bankruptcy in 2020 while under the control of the very same people Inside Croydon was reporting on.
"Reed, as my book shows, was one of Morgan McSweeney’s closest collaborators, in addition to serving as a director of Labour Together for seven years between 2016 and 2023.[5]
