Why we took drastic action to try to stop this election being won by lies. My column. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Democracy is being drowned in a bath of lies, held down by the oligarchs who own the newspapers, while the BBC keeps the taps running. We have two days to pull out the plug.
As a side note, the ridiculous amount of time @IpsoNews takes to resolve a complaint, and the way the process seems designed to intimidate and grind down the complainant, facilitates fake news and political lying.
@IpsoNews The pen might be mightier than the sword, but the wallet is mightier than the pen. News is the propaganda of the oligarch.
Are we prepared to allow the proprietors of the newspapers, many of whom live offshore, to determine the course of our politics?

@IpsoNews Never in recent history has pushing back against the blizzard of lies been so important. Democracy depends on it.
Please, everyone, do your best to ensure that the lies don't win on Thursday.

@IpsoNews There has always been political lying in the UK. But I've never seen anything like what we're facing this week. Massive, shameless Conservative lies on social media and in the billionaire press, amplified, disgracefully, by the BBC. It's terrifying.
Push back, everyone!
Push back, everyone!
