Ban foreign media ownership, enact a social media levy & new regulatory reform

Pass law to ban foreign & offshore ownership of UK media, enact a social-media levy to distribute media ownership across society & fund independent, local & cooperative-owned media. We believe democracy is failing as the media & political power are owned by a tiny rich elite.

We also call the Government to introduce new regulatory reforms, including requiring all media in the UK to be members of a statutory regulator and requiring media-covered think-tanks to report donations in real time. We believe we need to take back control of media ownership for the British people and that media should be free from offshore ownership and think tanks who accept dark money. Media ownership should reflect ALL of society not just the rich.
