🚨 SCOOP: Toyota and Aston Martin secretly lobbied a Conservative cabinet minister to weaken Britain’s climate policy.
We only know this because Democracy for Sale won a two-year legal fight to force the government to hand over the documents.

Foreign influence in British politics is real
And it requires serious changes in our electoral law - as I told Parliament last week
Will this now happen?

Yesterday in Parliament I said that the government should leave X.
🔉What dangers does X pose to our democracy? And should the government stop using it?
Good to hear yesterday from @sundersays.bsky.social and @petergeoghegan.bsky.social on the immense risk of X as it ignores legal obligations and its owner tries to influence UK politics.

Barely mentioned but that now notorious Trump Panorama *wasn’t made by the BBC*
It was an indie production (as so much is)
Even if was BBC, head of news or DG would wouldn’t have been involved in edits

Legal threats. Social media trolls accused him of visiting sex workers
Journalists were told they’d lose Palace access if they spoke to him

And if we think it’s bad now, imagine what it could look like, say, two months from a U.K. general election?
Could imagine huge sums in US far right cash flooding in, much of what would only be declared after the election (our electoral rules really are a jape)

Slightly confused that it's the Director-General of the BBC, but what do I know?
