Like I say: you can tell what type of fox each one is, by looking at which henhouse it’s been asked to guard.

The recently departed chair of the EHRC appears on a Policy Exchange panel discussing how to scrap the European Convention on Human Rights. The recently departed chair of Ofcom publishes a love letter to GB News. Are we learning something about Britain's class of regulators?

The agenda for Policy Exchange's Project

"How should the UK go about freeing itself from the European Convention on Human Rights? Should the Human Rights Act be replaced by a Bill of Rights or repealed without replacement?"

Again, you should ask how our political/media class came to be ram-packed with foaming-at-the-mouth wingnut crackpots whose horrible views are *wildly* out of step with the public. Did this happen organically, because far right cranks are simply the best and most talented?

NEW: An anti-free speech "liberal, Islington consensus" is targeting GB News, says departed Ofcom chair, Michael Grade.
Grade, criticised over approach to GB News, said failure to give "the white majority" a voice would damage social integration.

Great to see this by @michaelsavage which recognises the key role of one journalist-- @deb_cohen--in breaking the key transgender medicine stories at the BBC. Deb is one of the bravest journalists I know; without her would Cass have even happened?

BBC reporter who covered gender dysphoria questions claim of ‘systemic bias’

Deborah Cohen says she is not aware of any attempts within corporation to stop or shape her reporting on trans issues
