A Free Press, Not a Free Pass – It's Time for Fair Regulation
Introduce a new law to protect the public from press lies and abuse
Why is this important?
For too long, the UK press have bullied people, harassed grieving families, and destroyed lives, all to sell papers. We’ve all seen the heartbreaking consequences.
They’ve hacked phones, listened to private messages, and published people's personal information for profit. Time and again, parts of the UK press have shown that they can't be trusted.
It’s no wonder our press is the least trusted in Europe. They mark their own homework, so they never have to answer for the lies they spread about everything from the climate crisis to immigration.
Again and again, our governments have promised to act but have failed, caving to the pressure of powerful newspaper bosses. But the public and working journalists agree: enough is enough.
It's time to demand change. We need fair, independent regulation to protect ordinary people from abuse and restore trust in the press. It's time to finally hold them to account.
