Reminder that every PM does dodgy deals with right wing press. It is the policy of successive government to have meetings with newspaper owners and start negotiating behind closed doors.
This is true.
What's less common is calling for regulation in the first place, then dropping that as a deal to get elected, and then immediately having to react to a wave of race riots and pogroms that were encouraged by and use the exact same language as the press you just did a deal with.
Like so many things with Labour, what's unique about it is its naked duplicity followed by steaming incompetence.
Aye, all very true and depressing.
