Some prefer monosyllabic analysis - “Woke!” But those who can handle context and history it’s worth revisiting Hampshire Police’s recent culture and asking its relevance to present events https://t.co/OwUpSUtUh0 https://t.co/OwUpSUtUh0

They took back control. And then handed it to a motley bunch of trillionaires, billionaires and multi-millionaires. Enjoy the pure air of sovereignty https://t.co/ULRXwCCFIl

Joshi Hermann; ‘If we are going to devolve more power to places like Greater Manchester frankly we’re going to need to bulk up the quality of the local media.’ Listen to his discussion with @lionelbarber and myself

There’s a link between the spread of Nigel Farage’s evidence-free rabble-rousing and Michael Grade’s calamitous time at OfCom. https://t.co/xcBIBOfDPJ

NIgel, Elon, JD Vance - where’s your pure cold rage ?

Nigel Farage is a demagogue who has little regard for facts or the truth. Journalists covering him have no such excuse https://t.co/yKfcJNxpfk

[News Media Association @newsmediaorg]

Gavin Millar KC's discussion with @lionelbarber @and @arusbridger on the need for politicians to take urgent action to crack down on SLAPPs on this week's @prospect_uk Magazine podcast @mediaconfpod is fascinating and well worth a listen. 👇

[alan rusbridger @arusbridger]

Those BBC cutbacks are beginning to bite 😂

[Lionel Barber @lionelbarber]

Dear Michael (Grade not Savage). The issue is not GB News editorial agenda, it’s the use of politicians as presenters and the flouting of due impartiality rules. Now we know why Ofcom turned a blind eye during your chairmanship. Come on Media Confidential with me and @arusbridger if you feel I have got you all wrong

🎧: Who do media organisations go to when they get sued? In today’s Media Confidential, @arusbridger and @lionelbarber talk to Gavin Millar KC, an expert in media law

[Lionel Barber @lionelbarber]

Elon Musk, JD Vance and Tucker Carlson are dead wrong about the “free speech crisis” in Britain. The problem is “SLAPPS”, the frivolous law suits aimed at shutting down legitimate investigative journalism and lining powerful London law firms’ pockets. Time for a timid Labour government to act My commentary https://t.co/XmTskTaRyF

[alan rusbridger @arusbridger]

We’re downplaying stuff that should be banner headlines. We’ve been
trapped into thinking of climate change as ‘woke.’ We – wrongly – think our
readers don’t care. And when we get the hottest May on record we, once
again, miss the real story. https://t.co/FjDk82cjEr

In the latest episode of Media Confidential @arusbridger and @lionelbarber chat to Peter Geoghegan about lawsuits being used by the wealthy to silence and intimidate critics

[alan rusbridger @arusbridger]

The impact of the climate crisis is ever more alarming. But much of the press reports record heatwaves as a good news story. https://t.co/HYPM9r1wWd

[Lionel Barber @lionelbarber]

Why is the Labour government backsliding on SLÀPPs ? Do listen to me, @arusbridger talk to @PeterKGeoghegan on the powerful law firms lobbying to kick the issue into the long grass at the expense of robust investigative journalism

[alan rusbridger @arusbridger]

Latest @mediaconfpod - a discussion with the redoubtable @PeterKGeoghegan about seeing off the lawyers and SLAPP attempts. With @lionelbarber https://t.co/SgfZbCpQTf

[Nick Robinson @bbcnickrobinson]

I know the heat can make us all light headed but i think I just heard the ex Chair of @Ofcom Michael Grade tell @katierazz on #mediashow that @bbcr4today or any other BBC News programme could be presented by a politician just like @GBNEWS. Can anyone remind me when parliament, the public, licence fee payers or anyone else was asked their opinion on this ?

[Prospect @prospect_uk]

We’re used to timid acquiescence from Republicans who depend on Trump’s patronage. But it’s possible that a few worms have begun to turn, writes @arusbridger
