It must be confusing and heartbreaking in equal measure for young people waking up to a myriad of ecological, social economic and political crises to realise that that very awareness is presented by those in/with power as the world's most pressing problem.
The Somerset village #GeorgeOsborne lives in is called #Bruton. Population: under 3,000. If #Osborne had sex with a local 16 year old, when his partner was pregnant in Nov 2020 (as alleged in #TheEmail), the whole village knows who she is. Why haven't journalists got her story?
The Murdoch Mafia presumably went after Huw Edwards so as to demonstrate that no one, regardless of how loyal they are to the Conservative establishment, is safe. https://t.co/MdyOKOy2R8
You can’t just introduce Adam Boulton as ex Political Editor of Sky News. He regularly contributes to Talk TV and Times Radio both owned by Murdoch. Plus you’ve also got another Murdoch lackey on, Rod Liddle. Disgraceful.

A thread on the history of part two of the Leveson Inquiry:
1. When the phone hacking scandal broke in July 2011, David Cameron set up a two-part inquiry to look into the 'culture, practices and ethics' of the press and relationships between the press, politicians and the police.
