There should be a high bar for politicians attacking the media, but maybe Ed Davey has half a point here?
For example, the first three paragraphs of this BBC story repeat Reform's £243bn figure without saying that the thinktank behind the estimate now disowns it. (This is mentioned in paragraph 35)

Left: Spanish PM Pedro Sanchez says what Israel is doing in Gaza is a genocide, says Israel is using hunger to annihilate the legitimate state of Palestine
Right: Starmer has moved on from saying the situation in Gaza is 'intolerable' in 2024, to now saying in 2025 that it is 'utterly intolerable'

At our demonstration today, I'm holding a placard stating
"I support
Palestine.
Action
must be taken."
My aim is to highlight the absurdity of the government dictating what can and cannot be said by peace-seeking people

@mediaconfidential.bsky.social Does a D Notice cover the hundreds of flights over #Gaza by RAF spy planes?
If not, will you kindly discuss the UK media’s blackout of the subject?

@therestpolitics.bsky.social In 1947 Israel’s founding fathers were bombing & killing British soldiers in Jerusalem’s King David hotel. But 10 years later the 2 countries were allies in the Suez debacle.
What explains the strength of UK support for Israel & the indifference to Palestinian lives?

I am FoI'ing the BBC on some issues to do with Israel-Gaza. DG Tim Davie told MPs on Mar 4: “Part of what I have tried to do for the BBC is to be a guardian of true impartiality through thick and thin, and that requires being completely transparent.“ But the BBC has so far withheld this information

@arusbridger.bsky.social The protesters who broke into Brize Norton & spray painted RAF planes claimed they are flown in support of slaughter in Gaza.
Is this true?
If so, why do we see so little in the press about the use of RAF Akrotiri to support Israel?

The Israeli government has shown that it is not prepared to stop until every Palestinian in #Gaza is dead, disabled or displaced. Every day in which it is still armed and supported by Western states, our own included, is a stain on international law.

Originally recommended by @tuc.org.uk, it would incentivise employers to keep workplaces cool while avoiding health impacts to workers
