‘Watch in disbelief’: Peter Stefanovic steps in to mop up Tory fibs… again

Alastair Campbell said "we shouldn’t need" fact-checking videos in a country that claims to have a free media. "But we need it more than ever".

A Home Office minster has admitted “there’s more we can do” to follow up on reported crimes and said the bureaucracy involved in recording certain incidents is “wasting” police time.

Chris Philp insisted Government plans to cut “unnecessary red tape” will see the police focusing less on rude but non-threatening messages and more on investigating other offences.

The move is part of a wider set of rule changes to how forces record reported incidents, aimed at slashing their “bureaucratic burden”.

Touring broadcast studios on Thursday, Philp said the shake-up will see officers dedicating less time to incidents in which people had merely been offended, such as those dealt with under the Malicious Communications Act.

Speaking to Sky News, Philp said we are on track to have more police officers than we have ever had at any time in the history of England and Wales, which is quite an extraordinary misrepresentation of data.

Thankfully, Peter Stefanovic was on hand to correct the record:

How @PeterStefanovi2 calls these people out day after day with the same relentless calm and commitment to fact is the kind of thing we shouldn’t need in a country that claims to have a free media. But we need it more than ever https://t.co/toDIDajfyJ

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.
