- Broader public can stop this, but they cannot expect their “representatives” to do it on their own. Those with power are in the system so need outside “help” and pressure to recapture democracy from monied, purely self interested beings. This is not a “right” vs left”.
- Posters with same words etched into the Old Bailey commentating 1640 Bushnell case and embedded in UK 300+ year legal system. Who is trying to rewrite history- a government/system clinging to power, attempting to silence its people.
- Lawyers say jury-tampering claims in Palestine Action trial ‘dangerous’ and ‘misleading’ Calls for a retrial have pointed to posters put up around the court highlighting the right of jurors to acquit on conscience… an established principle in law www.middleeasteye.net/news/palesti...
- UK needs an independent BBC, not one controlled by political meddling and private special interests. Use your voice to demand better. Ideas from: #demos and #mediareformcoalition www.gov.uk/government/c...

- Senior state department official Sarah Rogers travelled to European cities in December and has spoken to key figures in Nigel Farage’s populist Reform UK party about deploying grants to spread ‘American values’. ft.trib.al/Kx8ta8a
- Would be good if you focused on www.gov.uk/government/p... and BBC “consult “and not Mandelson “diversion”. System needs major overhaul. @appgfairelections.bsky.social a start, but will not change itself. Public needs to get off phones sofa. Join with others. Act.
- Great use of taxpayer’s money🥶where is bbc “reporting” on this? Public is brain dead- partially because media does not inform them. This is not a Labour problem, but a system one. @appgfairelections.bsky.social Opportunity to respond to BBC “consultation”. Check #demos and #lmediateformcoalition
- 🔴 BREAKING: Labour Together paid controversial PR firm £30k to investigate journalists who were digging into how its undeclared funding Reporters from Sunday Times, Guardian and other outlets targetted *And* Morgan McSweeney knew about it Full story: democracyforsale.substack.com/p/exclusive-...
- Do hope there is mention of super-size Tony Blair Institute and his US billionaire funder (ie backbone data collection) and his embedded government "influence". Silent UK public and media is supporting this. www.newstatesman.com/politics/202...
