Hacked Off

Britain's press is misleading the public, intruding into peoples' lives, and abusing ordinary people. In opposition Labour promised to act. Tell @Keir_Starmer : yes, standing up to Murdoch is hard, but it's the right thing to do. Write to your MP now: tinyurl.com/mv6r9pds

An opinion piece in the @DailyMail describing campaigner Greta Thunberg being subjected to footage of the Hamas attack on Israel suggests that Thunberg’s support of aid for the people of Gaza means she endorses the atrocious actions of Hamas. To make such a leap in definition is…

Spotted in @Telegraph : "BBC losing public trust..." Well, the unregulated Telegraph newspaper is the expert at losing trust. Last year's Reuters study found the paper had a net trust score of just +15. The BBC? +40.

Next week is the 20th anniversary of the 7/7 attacks. After the attacks, many of those affected faced press harassment and intrusion. Years on, nothing has changed. Ask your MP to back changes in the law to protect victims of terror from press abuse: hackedoff.org/campaign-actio…

Hacked Off Director @jacquihames & @fawcettsociety CEO comment on @DailyMail article which said that Rachel Reeves looked like she was having a "hormonal collapse": hackedoff.org/blog-posts/mai…

Article in the @DailyMail today describes the Chancellor's upset in the chamber as looking like "a hormonal collapse from another femme failure who can't cope when the going gets tough. A woman who wilts like a stick of damp rhubarb..." What century is this?! #LevesonNow

We are deeply saddened to hear of the death of Lord David Lipsey. He was a great friend of the Campaign, and will be much missed. His wife and family are in our thoughts.

Data taken from Reuters' Digital News Report 2025 on trust in different media brands in the UK, and then compared with regulated status. It confirms yet again - with one major outlier in the FT - that regulated news outlets (broadcasters) are significantly more trusted than…

A father allegedly murders his three daughters—whose wrists had been bound with zip ties and each had been suffocated with a plastic bag and the Daily Mail blames the mother. She requested the family courts to protect her children. They didn’t. Stop blaming mothers for the…
