Very little, if you have a huge majority use it. The polls can’t get any worse. Do something worthwhile and fuck the right wing.

And so on.

Increase the frequency and depth of public‑service remit reviews for major broadcasters. Ofcom is already required to report on fulfilment of the remit and allows enforcement action for non‑compliance

Strengthen local‑news obligations on commercial radio and regional broadcasters, using Ofcom’s ongoing work on local news requirements.

Expand the use of “statements of programme policy” to force broadcasters to detail how they meet impartiality, accuracy, and diversity obligations.

In relation to broadcasting - Require Ofcom to publish more frequent market‑impact and plurality reports, using its existing duty to review the media landscape.

A statutory press regulator could have powers to

• enforce accuracy and corrections
• handle complaints
• impose fines
• require transparency on ownership and funding
• set standards for reporting on individuals etc etc

Press regulation is not mandatory at present, they could put a statutory body in place and make it mandatory. That would replace IPSO and IMPRESS.

The Labour Party could strengthen media regulation immediately by using powers that already exist in the Media Act 2024 and Ofcom’s current statutory authority — mainly by directing Ofcom to enforce harder, expand reviews, and tighten codes without needing new primary legislation.

Reform won’t win in Wales. Starmer is an appalling prime minister and needs to go. The rightwing media would absolutely prefer a Farage government. They generally don’t report truthfully and are hugely biased. Of course if Starmer was leading a coherent and driven government he could tackle it.

Thanks Luis!
