Did you watch The Hack? I can't believe papers have gotten away with destroying lives for so long. That's why I've signed the petition, set up by Hugh Grant and other phone hacking victims, to demand fair, independent regulation. Join me: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/a-...
A Free Press, Not a Free Pass – It's Time for Fair Regulation

Johnson’s cull of MPs prepared to tell the truth about Brexit consigned the Tories to the absurdity & irrelevance they currently enjoy. The media’s pitiful complicity in & failure to explain this lets Farage move in to the vacated space despite embodying the stupidity & bigotry that did for them.

So, if Brexit weren’t proof enough, then this barrelling shitshow should confirm forever that they should be nowhere near govt.

Netanyahu's govt has put sanctions on the Israeli newspaper Haaretz for its criticisms of Israel's behaviour.
Sanctions include prohibiting all public institutions from communicating with the paper.
This profoundly undermines democracy.

If Starmer gives us more austerity, then he too will fail. But if he manages to steady the ship and invest in this country and if public services improve, then it isn’t as hopeless as the right wing howler monkeys would have us believe. And I’d rather not help spread their message.
