Conduct a review of policy at Ofcom. We think that political news reporting on all channels has become unrepresentative of the public vote at the last general election and that political reporting using the ‘due weight’ policy is allowing extreme growth in far right coverage.

Commission an independent review of the BBC funding model
Commission an independent review of how the BBC is funded, examining alternative models such as voluntary subscription, advertising, or a hybrid public-service levy, to ensure fairness, transparency, and sustainability in the current digital age.
Improve media literacy, online safety and Ofcom oversight on disinformation
The Government should increase public awareness of online safety by introducing the following proactive tools to help tackle disinformation:
Establish review of risks to UK democracy from foreign influence on social media
We ask the Government to commission an independent review into the influence of foreign individuals and entities with significant control over major online platforms used in the UK. The review should assess potential risks to national security, democratic integrity, and the spread of misinformation.
Hold a public inquiry into organised political disinformation & hate speech
Launch a public inquiry which investigates the sources, funding & networks behind any organised political disinformation campaigns, examines how hate speech may be weaponised for political gain, and recommends reforms to hold politicians and organisations accountable for undermining democracy.
Launch a review of UK fishing laws
We urge the Government to launch a review of fishing laws, which looks into giving UK boats and anglers fair access, restricting foreign super-trawlers and fish stock management. We believe protecting our waters, rebuilding fish populations, and supporting coastal communities should be the priority.
