If you are being harassed by a journalist, or fear you are about to be, IPSO has an out of hours emergency number you can call. Details here: www.ipso.co.uk/home/contact/ Not sure how useful that is, given how useless IPSO is generally. But in extremis, worth a try.

Remember: implementing Leveson was official Labour policy for over a decade, right up to 2024... ...when Starmer did a deal with Murdoch to lay off the press for the duration of his reign. Sell-out and Stitch-up... are the names of just two of the lawyers in Starmer's law firm

Ofcom censure GB News for anti-LGBTQ commentary. No actual sanction. But wrist slapped and told not to do it again. So, that will work! www.ofcom.org.uk/siteassets/r...

A good, if scary piece from one of our supporters, around the threat to wider LGBTQ+ rights if current attacks on Human Rights (esp. article 8) continue in the UK. www.opendemocracy.net/en/us-far-ri... @drcharlottegalpin.bsky.social @jenniekermode.bsky.social @fiona-the-celt.bsky.social

As gay marriage is attacked in US, UK must not be complacent
It’s easy to view the attempted rollback of rights as an American problem. But LGBTQ rights are at risk here, too

The vultures are circling already in respect of tomorrow's verdict. They scent a juicy story. If you choose to engage, be aware of Ofcom Section 7, which requires inter alia you have clear explanations of the programme, nature of contribution, other guests, etc. www.ofcom.org.uk/tv-radio-and...

Asking. We have lately been looking at complaints to IPSO in respect of stories that are trans-related. Funny thing: we can find very few such complaints recorded on their website. So, if you complained in the last few years, drop a line in the dm's and we'll look to see if it was ever recorded.

So, this account has been bubbling under for a while. Today, however, we are finally moving over our main commitment to this app. Because the other place is just too toxic. Follow if you can. And please repost, etc. so others can engage.
