Matt Goodwin demanded to be fact-checked live on air when he claimed the UK spent "£100 million PER YEAR on family planning and condoms in Pakistan".

He then 'corrected' himself to £74.3 million, saying it was based on a "major news story from October 2025"

He was, of 1/30

The UK media is dominated by a handful of billionaires, Big Tech bros and corporations. How can we build independent media that holds power to account and serves the public, rather than only benefiting shareholders, political elites and media moguls?

Another great panel at MDF!

More AI tools, AI tutors, AI journalism checkers, AI NHS, AI everything! Because it's sooo accurate and trustworthy. Oh, what's that @Grok? You incorrectly named the wrong officer in the Henry Novak case, and now they are in hiding because of death threats? Cool.

You hear food is running out, and you feel powerless. Sticking your head in the sand is understandable, but there are more useful things you can do instead.

1. Get the message out. Public pressure + govt change depend on it.
2. Follow @Media__Rev @TTTMediaXR & @RedHotWorld
WE'RE GOING TO RUN OUT OF FOOD.

The day the UK govt was supposed to release a report warning of catastrophic food collapse, it also published data showing England had just had its second-worst harvest on record. So they cancelled the report's launch, calling it "too negative".

Police. Press. Power.

Who controls the story when it matters most?

Off the Record brings together leading legal practitioners, senior policing voices and whistleblowers to examine how privacy, public interest and accountability collide in today’s fast-moving media landscape.
ls:

👁️ The Legal Lens – How privacy law, open justice and media practice collide in real time.
🔥 The Heat and The Headlines – Who shapes the narrative when pressure is highest?
🚨 Corruption, Cover-Ups & Courage – What it really takes to challenge institutional failure.

Whether you are a solicitor, barrister, journalist, or simply someone with an interest in press justice and fairness, this event offers an inside view of how law, media and institutional power intersect — where the fault lines lie and what happens when they collide.

Speakers:
Sara Mansoori | Sandra Paul | Tamsin Allen | Jacqui Hames | Simon Morgan | Jeff Hill | Nana Akua | Maggie Oliver | David McKelvey

Pick a scandal, any scandal; Mandleson, McSweeny, just the latest in a long line...and without fail, you find media meddling.

Justice lost to silence and distraction. Buried in cosy deals between police, politicians and the press.

We need a free press. We need #Leveson2 sign the petition. hackedoff.org/campaign-actio…

How about a simple, but radical plan?

1️⃣ Unite movements harmed by the press

2️⃣ Collaborate with independent media & regulators

3️⃣ Coordinate resistance — together, globally

It’s happening on Media Liberation Day - 5th November.

26 days to go. #MediaRevolution

Experts feared it would take 193 years to reduce London's deadly levels of NO₂ air pollution to legal levels.

Mayor Sadiq Khan defied pro-fossil fuel and motoring lobbyists to achieve the life-saving target in just 9 YEARS.

Here's how he and his team did it 🧵

These two evil old billionaires are using a secret brainwashing weapon on you.

It’s called Pluralistic Ignorance

Rupert Murdoch and Viscount Rothermere's nasty newspapers use it to convince you another better world is simply NOT possible.
