This new report by The Centre for Media Monitoring (CfMM) provides concrete evidence of the systematic anti-Muslim bias that pervades GB News. Surely time for Ofcom to find a backbone and uphold the law on impartiality. cfmm.org.uk/gbnews-report-…

Prince Harry's barrister, David Sherborne, hails a 'monumental victory' as The Sun's owner issues a full apology for privacy breaches, declaring, "the time for accountability has arrived”

This is crucial. If Murdoch's company now admits that the reason it gave to police for deleting emails was false, why did they delete them? Were they interfering with a police investigation?

Worth reading Tom Watson statement after his comprehensive victory against Murdoch's News Group. Especially tribute to Prince Harry for standing up to press bullies, and big questions at the end for police and Starmer.

Worth reading the full statement read outside court. Prince Harry has done his job. Anyone who cares about journalism should now support the call for a proper investigation into cover up and perjury at News Group and its toxic culture.

"Prince Harry & Tom Watson join others in calling for the police and Parliament to investigate not only the unlawful activity now finally admitted, but the perjury and cover ups along the way."

Sincerely hope that those who have spent years vilifying Prince Harry on the back of vicious tabloid press coverage will now begin to appreciate the concerted press effort to bully him and undermine his legal case. standard.co.uk/news/uk/prince…

Prince Harry has taken us one step towards the truth, now it's up to police and government to hold the Murdoch press to account. My take for The Conversation: theconversation.com/the-sun-settle…

Inexcusable cowardice from BBC News (UK). BBC hierarchy needs to grow a spine or stop pretending it's committed to fearless, independent journalism. This documentary will have taken guts from basement films and participants. BBC is now becoming complicit in hiding the truth.

"They should be ashamed of their silence." This is not a bunch of student protestors. This is the editorial board of the Financial Times.

Its taken 18 months & it should have happened long ago, but finally BBC News (UK) has plucked up the courage to write clearly about Israeli War Crimes. RT now before they bow to pressure & retract it. Israel is accused of the gravest war crimes in Gaza bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
