#ICYMI Fascinating story last week by @cynthiao about fake journalism to bolster the reputation of a Conservative party donor facing @TheJusticeDept charges on bribery. If this is new reputation management in action, we need firm regulation:

Now confirmed on LBC - Sunak when pressed says “no, after the election.”
Labour has committed to scrap the scheme.

It's an admission they will not go before the election.
