If people hear reform and associate it with Labour plans instead of UKIP it takes power away from Farage and his merry band of bigots…
Pass a law that states all media retractions/ corrections MUST have exactly the same prominence and position as the original story.
Can you imagine Daily Fail having to have two weeks of six pages a day explaining that Starmer did nothing wrong by having a curry and a beer.

This is down to a bored media still trying to adjust to a stable competent government.

Higher rate of NI and especially the lowering of threshold makes it in unadvantageous to recruit part timers. There's one area where Labour really screwed up.
Hopefully a return to slow news for the quality rump of professional journos is in the offing too. Four years of hourly Trump updates.....?
They can generate all of the headlines they want but if it doesn't hurt people's pockets then it won't stick.
Tumbleweed….
Why are people so gullible?
