Daily Mail and Metro have agreed to pay substantial libel damages to a Loose Women panellist and her husband over articles that falsely suggested they showed “support for terrorism or hatred of Jews”
Wider implications here - previously, if the whole article gave context to headline/pics, then essentially publishers were fine.
Judges in this case seem to question that - ie, we now skim headlines and pics without getting to the fifth paragraph.
Interesting dev in media law.
Say hello to The Spirit of Invictus!
The #InvictusGames Foundation and London Northwestern Railway today unveiled The Spirit of Invictus Train, a specially branded train that will carry the name and spirit of the Invictus Community across the UK rail network.
The train is now in regular service for LNR and will be travelling around the UK spreading the Invictus Spirit ahead of the Invictus Games Birmingham 2027.
The Daily Mail has not been exonerated. Evidence of unlawful behavior remains, and the need for Leveson 2 is as strong as ever.

🆕️ Daily Mail is facing a major proposed class-action lawsuit in the United States for allegedly taking thousands of photos from people's social media accounts without permission or payment.
Photographer Matthew Moore filed the proposed class-action complaint on June 30, 2026.
Daily Mail is being sued over alleged “systematic” lifting of “thousands” of images from social media
"Defendants build and monetise their high-traffic, advertising-driven news platforms, in part, on the systematic and unpaid taking of photographs that ordinary people create"
If Britain can’t protect the family of its own head of state, what exactly can it still do?

"We are so much more willing to believe conspiracy theory.
"People I know - educated people - say, 'but I read it'.
"You may have read it. But it's bullshit!"
Has political violence and conspiracy gone mainstream in Britain?

After Belfast, I’ve been looking at some of the most extreme accounts flooding UK discussions.
A striking number appear to have little or no genuine connection to the communities they’re commenting on, yet they’re relentlessly amplifying division, anger and far-right narratives.
Meanwhile, X’s algorithm rewards outrage because outrage drives engagement.
At what point do we stop pretending this is an organic public conversation and start asking whether anonymous networks, bots, and location-masked accounts are helping inflame tensions in Britain?
The Government cannot keep ignoring the role social media platforms play in amplifying social unrest. #Belfast
Ha !
Richard Tice - in carefully and well rehearsed confected faux
rage - worthy of an amateur dramatic group - makes a total fool of himself again.

I’m am thoroughly amazed that Gove agreed to appear on HIGNFY. A man who has lied at every opportunity in his political career to allow his Party to destroy the country must have known he would be ridiculed by Hislop and exposed for exactly what he is.
The scandal involving Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has deepened for the royals. Court documents suggest Buckingham Palace has known for years about allegations the former prince was sharing government secrets when he was Britain's trade envoy.
