Headlines will never be the same again. Dale Vince’s landmark victory over the @DailyMail. A landmark victory has been handed down by the the Court of Appeal with three of the country’s more senior judges (Wednesday 15 July) following a three-year legal battle between Green Entrepreneur Dale Vince and the Daily Mail. This new ruling will protect people from misleading media articles by establishing a new duty of fairness. Dale Vince has won his legal battle, against Associated Newspapers Limited (ANL), publisher of the Daily Mail and Mail+, over a June 2023 article headlined "Labour repays £100,000 to 'sex harassment' donor". The article reported on the Labour Party returning donations from Davide Serra, who was the subject of an employment tribunal finding for sexual harassment. However, the article prominently featured not one but two pictures of Vince, one highlighted - holding a Just Stop Oil banner. Vince argued that this clearly led readers to believe he was the subject of the misconduct allegations. Lawyers acting for Mr Vince used GDPR legislation to argue that the Daily Mail had mistreated the Labour donor and green industrialist by unfairly processing his personal information. The Daily Mail now faces substantial costs and damages. Dale Vince OBE said: “It sounds grand, because it is - headlines won’t be the same again after this ruling. Not just headlines but articles too. Three years ago the Mail ran a highly misleading headline, using pictures of me in a headline not about me. It was a damaging reputational attack. The Daily Mail thought they could get away with it because they were protected by a libel law that was so old, it almost predated the internet.   They were wrong. The fallacy at the heart of libel law is the assumption that people read both headlines and articles in full. We all know this is not true; we all scan headlines and think we know what the story is. But that element of libel law has stood for over three decades, while the internet grew, social media came into the world, and our attention spans famously shrank. Libel Law in our country is not fit for purpose. It needs updating for the modern era. That’s not a fight I intend to pursue. I think I’ve done enough for now…:). This landmark ruling, based on legislation and assumptions of behaviour from this century will change media behaviour in Britain - starting now.  And it is likely to have the same effect in Europe, as GDPR legislation is European wide. Huge credit goes to my lawyers, Brett Wilson - for this. Not everybody has the will and the resources to fight powerful media groups like the Daily Mail. Many people facing similar injustices simply have to live with it, grin and bear it. Not anymore, the biggest outcome of this three year battle, for me, is that nobody now will face that same treatment and have no affordable recourse. From today newspaper headlines will never be the same again - because media outlets have a new duty of fairness and we the people have a new means to enforce it. Something so many of our media outlets fail to do voluntarily to their great shame - is now not a choice. The Daily Mail faces substantial costs and damages, but worse than that for them is this new duty of fairness - that appears to throw their current business model out of the window." Mic drop....:)

Hi @andyburnham the UK has tens of millions of uncovered parking spaces: from supermarket car parks and retail parks to workplaces and other paved areas. Why not make better use of the land we have already covered in concrete and tarmac by rolling out solar canopies over parking spaces? A large-scale programme could potentially generate a significant share of our electricity demand, while providing shade for vehicles, supporting EV charging, reducing pressure on farmland and bringing energy generation closer to communities. It's a no brainer. Just needs a little leadership 👍

"Lemn Sissay leads a national project for over 2,300 school children to explore their hopes and dreams for the future." Yesterday lines from the poems by those school children were placed on the facade of Southbank Centre and published in a free newspaper available on site called Gift to the Future. Grace Atkins, Griot Gabriel, Arji Menuelpillai, Astra papachrostodoulou, Bradley Taylor and James Wilkes are the talented poet educators who visited schools up and down the country to work with teachers to give workshops on visual poetry, which resulted in the lines on the building, and the poems in the newspaper. 2,300 young people from across the country descended on The Royal Festival Hall yesterday afternoon for an hour of poetry led expertly by The Poet Educators. I have never heard screams from an audience as loud as the moment I said.. "The secret guest for you all today is my favourite poet and yours MICHAEL"and the audience screamed and said "ROSEN' so I said it again "Michael" and they screamed even louder "Rosen" and like a rock star he walked into the stage. I thought they were going to explode. Children levitated with exitement that he was there. Then Michael read a poem to which they all knew the words! This is how it should be That was the launch of The poetry international festival which was started by Ted Hughes in 1967! That man has given somuch to us all. It is the 75th anniversary of the royal festival hall and what I said to those brilliant school pupils was true from the day it opened "This place is your space!"

Brits who have served in the IDF and committed war crimes and murdered children go free. Brits opposing genocide risk 14 years in prison. Disgraceful Britain.

Last year, Microsoft made $101 billion in profits, got a $12.5 billion tax break from Trump & paid its CEO $96 million. This year, it’s raising the price of an Xbox by $150 & eliminating 3,200 jobs. Please don’t tell me corporate tax breaks create jobs. It never trickles down.

BREAKING (bones) Why does "Bring Them Home" exist only for some hostages? Because in Apartheid Israel, where only Jewish lives matter, brutalising the Palestinians isn't an anomaly - it is the system. And the silence around it is the exact measure of our collective hypocrisy.

Nobody wants a city on Mars. Nobody wants AI in every app. Nobody wants a robot butler. Nobody wants data centers everywhere. Nobody wants flying cars or humanoid robots. We want clean water, we want bees to survive, and we want a habitable planet.

Gut wrenching to see four young people jailed for direct action against an arms supplier to Israel. Years in prison for protesting to save lives in Gaza, with 'terrorism' used despite no jury convicting them of it. A truly dangerous attack on the right to protest.

This is possibly the saddest thing I've seen in a long time..an immigrant nurse talking about fleeing her home..she saved her UNIFORM. So she could still WORK for our communities. I'd fill this country with a thousand of this woman than one of those good for nothing thugs. God help this poor woman.

Domestic violence rates in Northern Ireland are VERY high, one in five of all recorded crimes. A streamer from NI was recently jailed for brutally murdering his pregnant girlfriend. He left her face down in a dog bowl. No riots Remember this as the far right mobs assemble.

Crazy that this is getting barely any coverage. This year’s European Press Prize was just awarded to an investigative report by the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant. It is entitled “What the Wounds Tell” and in it the journalists Maud Effting and Willem Feenstra document the cases of 114 children in Gaza under the age of 15 who were struck by a single bullet to the head or chest. Almost all of them died or were left severely disabled. They chose to document only the cases of boys and girls under the age of 15 (though often much younger: aged 3, 4 or 7) because these are children who can be immediately identified as such. “A single bullet in these parts of the body is a clear indication that these children were deliberately targeted“, the two journalists write. This is the article: volkskrant.nl/kijkverder/v/2…

This is a reminder that supermarkets made £230,000,000,000 last year, making £12,000,000,000 for shareholders

This is awful. The last ever Denby Pottery going to the kiln. Why is there not uproar? Where’s the government in this?? We all have Denby in our homes, in family heirlooms, as our history and now it’s closing through lack of support, such a sad sad day. #SaveDenby @denbypottery
