An obituary that needs updating?

The Guardian's obituary of Jack Jones looks in dire need of updating as the only mention of his communist links are these words of denial:
"Arthur Deakin, who effectively blacklisted Jones as a near-communist. It was Deakin who effectively blocked his promotion within the union because of his radical politics and his commitment to shop steward power - a policy fiercely rejected not only by Deakin but many other national union leaders. Deakin was convinced that Jones was indeed an undercover communist - something Jones always denied."
Have The Guardian not read the revelations in The Mail and The Spectator about Jack Jones's past as a KGB agent? Or more likely do they not care about the truth?
