It is not great that the presenter says "those papers are not here to defend themselves". They should now tweet a link to the correction & confirm it has been withdrawn

Absolutely brilliant piece from Owen here. I commend you Sir. Although a long read, an absolutely crucial one. Read it and learn the truth about our execrable “Labour” right Government.

Home Secretary Yvette Cooper on SkyNews is just plain wrong. The proposal for a youth mobility scheme falls far short of “free movement” because it only allows individuals to come for a limited period & does not allow them to settle in the UK or EU member state

Update. The Telegraph has now corrected its entirely fabricated claim that 1 in 12 Londoners is an "illegal migrant" and has accepted that this claim was false in *four" separate respects. However, this has not resolved my complaint to IPSO - I will continue to request a front-page correction.
