Unfortunately IPSOβ€”without Press Recognition Panel approvalβ€”consists of editors policing their own papers, effectively marking their own homework. You’ll likely be told β€œopinion” pieces are exempt from accuracy protocols- a consistently employed get out of jail free card

Once, this kind of rhetoric could land editors in gaol. The Serious Crime Act 2007 made β€˜encouraging an offence’ a crimeβ€”even if no crime followed. Section 59 later gutted that safeguard, giving commentators a β€˜get out of jail free’ card whatever the consequences of their rhetoric.

IPSO' response: "[Papers can] choose which pieces of information they publish.They are not obliged to do a comparison of other cost pathways and entitled to focus on the headline figure. [We] did not identify sufficient grounds to investigate a possible breach of Clause 1" A cherry picker's charter.
