He proposed a one-off tax on big tech firms such as Google and Facebook. But not to fund hospitals, social care or anything useful. Jeremy Corbyn forced to deny he wants to crack down on press because he’s angry about Labour anti-Semitism scandal Instead, Corbyn wants to back “news co-operatives” that will produce “investigative, public-interest journalism” and produce a more “informed public”. Corbyn’s speech was full of cuddly sounding expressions. But … [Read more...] about Jeremy Corbyn’s ‘media reform’ hits free speech to push his own left-wing agenda — do you want your news like this?
