If I had known that people would be sharing a clip of me on the telly – and I’m very glad they are – I might have ironed my shirt a bit better before going on. https://t.co/To1Gi8eGf2

I would recommend watching this again and again until you all know it by heart. It’s like the Gettysburg Address but less abstract. https://t.co/LPmYwxDJYG

Since you are here
Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.
Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.
Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
