It's interesting how back in the 50s and 60s the Russians thought helping the Labour Party would be most destructive to our country, and the US.

But now they see Brexit and right-wing policies as the way to do it.

If this turns out to be true and MPs name him it'll be interesting how many 'patriots' will back a news organisation funded by Russia in a secret scheme.

Presume the secretive think tank is the Institute of Economic Ideas.

The funders behind GB News have been known for over a year, I don't get the hush hush tap nose tone of the tweet

The point is journalists have been worried about reporting the story as the UK has a weird legal system that doesn't support a public interest defence, once MPs name them in Parliament they are kinda off the leash.

Is that the same 'think tank' (wank tank) that spent two years trying to sue James O'Brien on LBC (and lost) because he called them a load of bullshit artists? If it wasn't them it was some other lot of big-money-backed twicers.

So, basically, OFCOM is saying that a politician cannot read an autocue because it's 'news'.

How come they turn a blind eye to Labour activists like Robert Peston. OFCOM itself, is no doubt crawling with Wokey lefty trash.

As far as I know OFCOM acts on complaints made by whoever, the complaints about Tory MP's on GB most likely come from trade union representatives on behalf of their Labour MP lackey.

OFCOM is run by a Tory peer.

What does 'acts on it' mean? All I've seen so far is one way admonishment. wtf does it matter who reads the news.

Yep, a journo who makes his personal political feelings known at every opportunity.

It doesn't matter to me or you, but I reckon it 'matters' to anyone who want to 'bash the Tory's, especially Jacob Rees-Mogg.
