   @ChrisMayLA6 the Tufton street “think tanks” are also setting the agenda, working with the right wing media outlets, which Labour is falling for. Take Trans rights, the the vast majority (80%) were happy with the status quo, then the US right wing financed LGB alliance works with a few public voices and media organisations, and now Starmer is “reconsidering” the equality act….

     Should you want further proof of the negative impact of right-wing domination of media ownership in the UK, then the request to shadow ministers ahead of final deliberations on the #LabourParty manifesto, to only come froward with policies that are 'credible, affordable & bombproof' should alert you that the party remains worried that whatever the chaos caused by the #Tories, Labour's policies will be publicly ridiculed & attacked by the #media's inability to escape the agenda set by the Right!
