Britain's press is misleading the public, intruding into peoples' lives, and abusing ordinary people. In opposition Labour promised to act. Tell @Keir_Starmer : yes, standing up to Murdoch is hard, but it's the right thing to do. Write to your MP now: tinyurl.com/mv6r9pds

Dear Hacked Off supporters, please see below if you haven’t already.

IPSO is failing the public and enabling unethical journalism. Following the Leveson Inquiry, the UK was left with a sham regulator—one controlled by the very newspapers it is supposed to hold accountable. As Lord Leveson famously put it, they are still marking their own homework. The evidence is clear: 📉 In 2022, only 0.6% of complaints to IPSO were upheld. ⏳ On average, it takes almost six months for a complaint to be processed. 💰 IPSO has never launched a formal investigation or fined a national newspaper. This systemic failure has real consequences. In the case of The Sun’s intrusion into the grief of John Chapman’s family, IPSO upheld the complaint—but only after 232 days. By that point, the harm had long been done, and the only sanction imposed was the publication of a small adjudication. No fine. No investigation. No accountability. This is not independent press regulation. It is a system designed to protect newspapers, not the public. If IPSO refuses to enforce ethical journalism, who will? It is time for meaningful reform. 📽️ Watch the full story in our film: youtube.com/watch?v=36JKXEH4… 📝 Take action—demand real press accountability.

📢 NEW FILM: Britain’s Press – Power Without Responsibility 📢 From hacking phones to ruining lives, the UK press has too much power & zero accountability. Our new film exposes the corruption at the heart of the industry. Watch now. 🎥👇 hackedoff.org/blog-posts/bri…

Whistleblowers have played a crucial role in exposing the dark truths of tabloid media scandals. Protecting their voices is essential if we want to hold powerful institutions, and the billionaires who own them, accountable—and to push for real change through measures like Leveson 2. 💛 📷🩷

Hugh Grant at his sit down with @YellowPressco expresses serious concerns over the undue influence of Rupert Murdoch on UK politics. He highlights the "terrifying" frequency of meetings between Rishi Sunak and Murdoch executives, suggesting a concerning level of access and potential for manipulation. Grant explores both Conservative and Labour governments for their close ties to Murdoch, citing Tony Blair's phone call to the media mogul on the morning of the Iraq War as a chilling example. This raises crucial questions about media ownership, political accountability, and the integrity of our democratic processes. #Leveson #PhoneHacking #HughGrant #Murdoch #Sunak #Blair #Politics #MediaInfluence shot by @YellowLensCo 🔗 Full video: youtu.be/Fycob7fbLXU?si=lGQp…
