Politically neutral campaign for regulation of electoral advertising. Labour, Lib Dem, Green and 3 other 2024 London mayor candidates signed our ad code.
@jennifernadel.bsky.social from @compinpolitics.bsky.social spoke at our recent event in the House of Commons about the bill they've devised which would make deliberate factual deception by candidates an offence.

This Youtube scam ad was forwarded on to us. Not an election ad but as Conservative MP George Freeman pointed out at our recent HoC event you can see where this is heading for election ads.

We’ve prominent coverage in John Johnston’s excellent Politico Influence newsletter this week.
We are pointing out how it is essential that the government’s efforts to counter disinformation include misleading factual claims in election ads (if that isn’t self evident enough).

🧵 The government published a significant policy paper today "Restoring trust in our democracy: Our strategy for modern and secure elections".
It includes some welcome proposals - including one that we've been campaigning for - but it doesn't go far enough.

🤔 Is this a misleading ad by the Advertising Standards Authority?
It doesn't regulate the most important ads of all ... election ads that influence your vote?
It states on its website its "ambition is to make every UK ad a responsible ad" ... but we're not there yet.

After years of talking the ball is certainly in their court to make the next few ones of action.

It was a cross-party and unanimous recommendation. Labour should now take the opportunity to implement it.
Keir Starmer campaigned on rebuilding trust. His first speech said he was going to do that through: “action, not words.” This is that moment.

The Case of North Tyneside: A Warning Sign.
Our ad monitoring project uncovered a striking example. The Conservative mayoral candidate in North Tyneside, Liam Bones, launched a Facebook page disguised as a local media outlet: “North Tyneside Matters”.
