Good to see @dailymail.co.uk @thetimes.com and @telegraphnews.bsky.social all delete their articles - sad the lies went up in the first place

Torsten Bell@torstenbell.bsky.social

Totally untrue garbage from @thetimes.com & @dailymail.co.uk today - smear dressed up as journalism. Some facts: - There is no “£900 desk” - my constituency office has Ikea desks/chairs - we significantly underspent the new MPs allowance to set up an office www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

thetimes.com

Treasury minister leading budget plans spent £900 on desk

Torsten Bell, who is working with Rachel Reeves to fill a £30 billion hole in finances, also used his parliamentary expenses to claim £600 for three chairs

Well done Torsten but is it not time for Govt to consider changes to press regulation? These media organisations must know the negative influence they can have with these type of untrue headlines/articles. Unfortunately by the time they’re deleted some readers will have absorbed the lies.

It seems possible that... they dont like you very much. How dare you use a chair and desk, you could be using a beanbag

We need to collectively do something about the smear campaigns launched by the ‘gutter press’. Can you bring this up in Parliament?

Is this enough though? They should print retractions & apologies and ties should be as prominent as the original false statements

It's still on The Times app & concludes: "If Torsten Bell can’t manage expenses responsibly, how can taxpayers trust him to manage the nation’s finances?”

An apology in tomorrow’s paper would be nice, Torsten.

It is almost like we need a press regulator that holds journalists to account...

Pathetic that they just deleted it to an error page instead of at least noting that it was removed due to 'inaccuracies'

It was even framed weirdly - "man attempting to save the country £30bn might have spent £900 in the process" - sounds like a good tradeoff to me.

About time you legislated to force them to print corrections and apologies with the same prominence as the original story

Guessing they haven't apologised and donated a thousand pounds to charity for their lying.

So will we see apologies printed and published?? Of course we fucking won’t.

Sue them, better still replace Ofcom and ensure media owners reside and pay tax in UK. A British media for Britain

De Blasio impostor tricks newspaper into running anti-Mamdani quotes
