The government has absolutely no mandate to do this. Labour never mentioned in its manifesto that it planned to undermine and restrict a fundamental cornerstone of our democracy - the right to trial by jury - a move which will place us on a path toward authoritarian justice.
Don’t let this be your legacy Prime Minister
It's time to ban above inflation mid-contract mobile & broadband price hikes. We investigated 47,000 tariffs, & in 75% of cases @Ofcom's protection rules meant people PAY MORE. In 99% of cases, people saw above inflation rises. It needs to stop. Full story https://t.co/70rJtoed51
Fight against online-only TV is being lost. Terrestrial TV could end in 2034
You will need expensive broadband link, boost corporate profits.
Millions won't have TV because of poor signal.
Big brother will know what you watch.
Say NO. Write to your MP.

NBA Champion Jalen Brunson makes around $25 million and pays a lot in taxes.
James Dolan, the billionaire who owns the Knicks & MSG, has watched his fortune grow for decades without paying his fair share.
When we say tax the rich we mean the ultra-rich, like James Dolan.
BBC isn’t backing down.
Trump sued them for $10 billion, which means discovery cuts both ways. Now the BBC wants his phone logs, private schedules, daily diaries, and communications from November 2020 through January 20, 2021.
They aren’t just defending the case. They’re asking a simple question: did their documentary damage Trump’s reputation, or did January 6 do that all by itself?
Lawsuits open doors, and discovery is fair game 💥
What the BBC did. They played clips of Trump out of chronological order. He complained. They apologised. That should have been it. But he sued them for $10 billion.
So the BBC is going to fully litigate all of Trump's actions surrounding the attack on the Capitol.
Excellent.
UK Govt, at the behest of companies, considers ending Freeview TV in 2034.
You will need to pay £400 a year for broadband (today's price) + TV licence to watch TV.
Many areas have poor signal. Broadband price increases exceed rate of inflation.
Say NO.

Just a message to everyone telling young people to "toughen up" because you had it harder...
Fine. We'll cancel your winter fuel payments.
Toughen up. It's not that cold. Put a jumper on.
Farage is fucked latest.
Don't forget the other £25m, the bribe to topple Theresa May and the bribe to stand down candidates in 2019 @TheFCA xxx

The more I dig, the more I realise that Nigel Farage is literally done for. It's over for him. The £5 million bung is big enough to take the entire Reform movement down and possibly land Nigel in jail.
1) The fact the donation was made BEFORE Nigel was MP is absolutely irrelevant. Parliamentary Code of Conduct requires all receipts for the full 12 months before election. Nigel receiving his bung just a few days before he announced his candidacy makes it so much worse, not better.
2) "Category 5: Gifts and benefits from sources outside the UK - THRESHOLD FOR REGISTRATION Section 39. Members must register, subject to the paragraphs below, any gifts or benefits with a value of over £300 which they receive from a source outside the UK."
Nigel argues this was 'purely personal' but the Code refers to partners or families when it comes to personal gifts... this takes us to the next issue...
3) Christopher Harborne has a long track record of making SUBSTANTIAL political contributions to Nigel's parties, first to The Brexit Party, and later to Reform. He is a POLITICAL DONOR - any "gift" he made to Farage CANNOT be argued as personal or without political context due to this track record.
4) Using his platform as an MP, Nigel went on to promote 2 companies in which Christopher Harborne holds $ billions in stock - Nigel NEVER publicly endorsed or mentioned these companies prior to the "gift". Nigel also began actively pushing for policy that would directly interest Christopher Harborne and his business affairs. These were not interests that any could argue could possibly be of interest to his constituents - deregulation of crypto, and lowering of taxes on crypto gains. Nigel spent a substantial amount of time and effort pushing these policies.
It is beyond a doubt that this is the biggest breach of Parliamentary Code of Conduct rules in relation to donations in parliamentary history.
But even more concerning for Nigel will be that if it can be proven he was secretly incentivised to use his public office to push for policies to support a wealthy donor, then he should very likely face a criminal probe for corruption and bribery. I suspect Harborne might also be exposed to this. The United Kingdom and Thailand have a bilateral extradition treaty. Maximum prison sentences of up to 10 years for the offence.
This is not going to go away.

BREAKING: The BBC has turned Donald Trump’s $10 billion defamation lawsuit against them into a January 6 trial against Trump
The BBC is arguing that to win his defamation case, Trump has to prove he did not foment or incite the riot.
