We need a free press It’s vital for democracy that we receive verifiable information that is not manipulated or controlled

“Just three companies, News Corp (Murdoch family), Daily Mail & General Trust (DMGT, Viscount Rothermere) and Reach plc, control over 80% of daily newspaper circulation…

The hyper-rich continue to invest huge sums in acquiring control of media”

We need a free press - ie free from the billionaires.

In other news millions of people in the UK are living in poverty, destitution & using food banks

Aha splendid!

A word on the Allison Pearson free speech row, and what she describes as a ‘Kafkaesque’ threat to it. We asked her on @thenewsagents.bsky.social to discuss.
She said: ‘No. And if you get any aspect of the story wrong my lawyers will be watching.’
Gotta love a free speech warrior 🤷🏻‍♂️

Greetings and salutations!
