This is why we need female commentators at the top of the sport. Because all too often men fail to hold other men accountable. Despite the “protect women” narrative driving the transphobia in sport currently.

Review, which will focus on effectiveness of political finance laws, follows conviction of former Reform politician for accepting bribes * UK politics live – latest updates An independent review into the impact of foreign financial influence and interference in domestic politics from Russia and other hostile states has been announced after one of Reform UK’s former senior politicians, Nathan Gill, was jailed for accepting bribes from a pro-Kremlin agent. Amid growing concern inside the security services and parliament over the scale of the foreign threat to British democracy, the government-commissioned inquiry will focus on the effectiveness of the UK’s political finance laws.

The BBC should take note #r4today
Tweet from @OccupyDemocrats on Twitter 1/: BREAKING: Pulitzer Board turns the tables on Trump in defamation lawsuit — demands discovery of ALL his finances and medical records in explosive legal fight.

Donald Trump thought he could bully and intimidate the Pulitzer Prize Board into submission. Instead, the Board just hit back — hard.

According to a new report from Law & Crime, members of the Pulitzer Prize Board are fighting Trump’s lawsuit with sweeping discovery demands that could pry open one of his most closely guarded secrets: his finances. After Trump sued the Board for standing by Pulitzer-winning reporting on his links to Russia — reporting that he despises — the Board is now insisting that if Trump wants to litigate, he’s going to have to play by the rules — and answer uncomfortable questions under oath.

Trump’s lawsuit claims the Board defamed him by refusing to retract awards given to journalists whose reporting detailed his ties to Russia. But the Board isn’t backing down. Instead, its lawyers are demanding broad discovery, including documents and testimony that go directly to Trump’s wealth, business interests, medical history, and credibility — areas that have long proven hazardous terrain for the president.2/: In court filings, the Board argues that Trump himself made his finances relevant by repeatedly injecting claims about his success, reputation, and damages into the case. In other words: if Trump says the reporting hurt his standing, then the truth about his money matters — a lot.

Legal experts say this is a classic “be careful what you wish for” moment. Trump has spent years attacking journalists, institutions, and independent watchdogs, assuming intimidation would be enough. But discovery cuts both ways. If this case proceeds, Trump could be forced to turn over records he has spent decades concealing and sit for depositions that can’t be spun away with late-night rants on social media.

The Pulitzer Board’s message is unmistakable: they’re not afraid of Trump, and they’re not rewriting history because he doesn’t like it. The awards were granted, the reporting stands, and now Trump may have to answer — in a courtroom, not on Truth Social.

This legal counterpunch also exposes the deeper irony of Trump’s crusade. A man who claims to champion “free speech” is trying to punish journalists for doing their jobs — while crying victim when those journalists, and the institutions that defend them, refuse to cave.

If Trump thought this lawsuit would intimidate the press, it may end up doing the opposite. By opening the door to discovery into his finances and credibility, he’s handed his critics exactly what they’ve been asking for: accountability.

Trump again acting as a playground bully, threatening to steal all the sweets from the BBC, provided by UK Taxpayers. Trump has the flimsiest of legal arguments. Rather, as usual, he is hoping to prolificate a false narrative. If the BBC were to cowardly hand over any money, that would be a bonus.
