This may be grist for a letter to my MP.
"...a political system that imprisons climate and Palestine protesters for years for damaging property, while failing to jail rapists for the lasting harm they do to women and girls, has a sick sense of priorities."

"The ICO has consistently failed the rights it is supposed to uphold. Here are just some recent examples.
When Reform ran a competition that blatantly broke data protection law, the ICO's response was staggering: it told the public to complain to Reform first, then come back to the ICO if they were still unhappy.
...
When Meta announced plans to scrape its users' data to train AI, thousands of people complained to the ICO. Their response was to hold meetings with Meta behind closed doors before giving them the go ahead. The public were ignored.
They have also ignored the 70 plus organisations calling for the ICO to investigate the Home Office's eVisa scheme, which triggered serious data protection breaches and locked vulnerable people out of their own immigration records.
This isn't an regulator having a bad year. This is an regulator that has stopped doing its job."

Keir Starmer promised public ownership then failed to deliver, so why does it matter what Burnham says?
Burnham is being lobbied hard behind the scenes *not* to commit to public ownership. He needs pressure from the other side to stick to his guns
A promise is better than no promise - it gives you an opportunity to hold Burnham’s feet to the fire in the future
The next few weeks before the by-election in Makerfield give you a chance to put public ownership on the political agenda, proving that it can be delivered affordably, without breaking the bank - our letter to Andy Burnham explains how
We can make sure Andy Burnham knows that public ownership is not just popular; it is also affordable and pragmatic.

"The Media Sovereignty Act Does Five Things:
Bans foreign media ownership.
Bans the concentration of UK national media ownership by one person or corporation.
Funds independent and local media with a social media levy.
Requires national media to be under the remit of the statutory regulator.
Requires dark-money funded think-tanks that are covered by the media to declare donations in real time.
When we get to 10,000 signatures, the government has to provide a response.
When we reach 100,000 signatures, the government has to consider the petition for debate in Parliament."
