'Lee Anderson - who we know has been advising councillors in Nottinghamshire - to ‘beware of the media’

Lee Anderson: “Let me give you a word of advice, beware of the media, don’t speak to them, you’ve no need to, you’ve actually no need to speak to the papers, TV and radio at all.”

'Reform UK has banned newly-elected members charged with running a county council from speaking to journalists, an editor claimed.'

https://www.holdthefrontpage.co.uk/2026/news/new-reform-councillors-banned-from-speaking-to-press-editor-claims/

Ipswich.co.uk founder Oliver Rouane-Williams: “When approached by us on results day, a newly elected Reform councillor told us they wanted to engage with this publication but had been told they could not, and that they were only permitted to speak to GB News.”

The makers of the documentary “Gaza: Doctors Under Attack” won a TV #Bafta for Current Affairs and challenged the #BBC to air their acceptance speech after the broadcaster shelved the film over “impartiality” concerns.

On the significant resources and legal challenges involved in investigative journalism

A story linking Donald #Trump to Jeffrey #Epstein required six months and 20 staff. Trump attempted to sue the Wall Street Journal for $10bn, but the lawsuit was dismissed as he could not prove actual malice. A major challenge for journalists today is pre-publication legal threats, including injunctions and SLAPPs, which can intimidate and tie up resources.

He called her "baby." Then allegedly worse — two forensic lip readers, both profoundly deaf since birth, reviewed the footage independently and reached the same conclusion. The White House has not denied it. A ribbon-cutting for a reflecting pool. During a war. While gas prices climbed. This is the catalog, not the aberration.
