There's not a single person in Britain who doesn't agree that the death of Henry Nowak was a tragedy, and the way the police handled it was absolutely disgraceful.

There's only one political party, however, who want to take that family's pain and politicise it for their own benefit.

Has the Telegraph columnist been triggered by nasty school memories? Or does she just want a job on the Mail?

With thanks to his daughter Caroline here is a picture of the man I wrote about in @TheNewWorldmag this week - John Burton who has died aged 85. Tony Blair’s constituency agent and one of the best and kindest men you could ever meet. I think that picture was on election day 1997. Happy days

@mrjamesob tells @jamesrbuk how Brexit logic is making papers defend Trump on Iran – because ‘they’d rather look ridiculous than admit they’re wrong’

The argument over the design of Britain’s banknotes is absurd, and misses a much more important financial decision taken in Westminster that most politicians seem to have missed or ignored

People have asked what they can do about GB News turning into Reform TV. ⁦@TheNewWorldmag⁩ has had the inspired idea of suggesting lots of people watch an hour of programming and then let them (and ⁦@Ofcom⁩) know what you think https://t.co/po5iBaDRrB

Inside the GB News scandal - with Alan Rusbridger

🔥 It’s happened almost by stealth.

GB News has effectively become Reform TV.

A major UK political leader, Nigel Farage, hosts his own “news” show: something that would have been unthinkable in British broadcasting.

A review by 20 experienced journalists found:
• systemic bias
• lack of challenge
• factual inaccuracies
• and overwhelming alignment with Reform talking points

☠️ Average compliance with @Ofcom rules? 1.5 out of 5.

Meanwhile Ofcom has largely waved it through: even a Trump interview rated zero for impartiality was cleared because “balance” came hours later in a different programme.

This is about something really
fundamental:

👉 In the UK, newspapers can be partisan.
👉 Broadcasters are supposed to be impartial by law.

That line is now being blurred or ignored.

Even @afneil says the channel became something entirely different from what was promised:

“A kind of Fox News… they worshipped the ground Farage walked on.”

When a political movement effectively gains its own TV platform, with minimal regulation, it doesn’t just shape debate.

It reshapes democracy.

The question isn’t whether you agree with the politics.

It’s whether the rules that underpin trust in broadcast news are still being enforced at all.

A massively consequential investigation by Alan Rusbridger into GB News: how "one political party in Britain has effectively ended up with its own television station". Raises deep questions about hi-jacking of British media/political culture:

The Quislings of the British right have abandoned patriotism. By siding with Trump in a war that could crash the global economy Badenoch, Farage and their media backers have sold Britain to the MAGA cult ... my op-ed in @TheNewWorldmag https://t.co/4dHQpfAQpz
