👀This is one of the most shameful attempts to suppress investigative journalism that I have personally experienced, in my 15 years as a reporter.

Parliament refused to give me a press pass, claiming it was due to "capacity". But this was not true.

I've now obtained internal emails that cite the "particular standpoint" of @declassifiedUK "in-depth investigations" on UK foreign policy.

In particular, parliamentary officials referenced a recent story of mine that raised concerns about pro-Israel bias by parliamentary authorities.

They also cited my "contentious" book (published 9 years ago), which was not contentious in the slightest and was, in fact, serialised in the Guardian and reviewed positively. The only contentious thing about it was that it was highly critical of... (you guessed it)... parliamentary authorities!

@jeremycorbyn @ShockatAdam @EllieChowns @premnsikka and @NUJofficial have all condemned the decision to block @declassifiedUK

Parliament is suppressing freedom of press in a manner "worthy of the Trump White House".

NEW: Landlords in London raised rents by 11.5% in the year to December.

Landlords will never regulate themselves. We must build on our wins ending section 21 and continue the fight for rent controls.
