Recently there was an OFCOM check on how the Reach ( previously Trinity Mirror ) approach to the Express would diminish a plurality of views in UK newspapers. OK so far seems to be the result. More on another blog probably but not sure which one. Come back later..
Today print version of Express leads with "tough-talking" May on EU "risking lives" by not agreeing to her ideas on security.
Page five, third to last para, May added " we will be bringing the Cabinet together within the next week". Other reports have suggested this is quite important as news because the EU cannot work out what the UK priority is until there is more clarity. Readers may miss this bit as there is a headline for Brexiteers who urge "talk trade or quit negotiations" with a photo of Rees-Mogg. They expect a trade deal to be sorted soon as if the £40 billion is not linked to the transition phase.
Reach doing a solid job. No grounds for complaint.

Corbyn on ITV, fact check yourself on YouTube
Nothing posted for a while as things seem to be fixed or going round in circles. But maybe there is something happening fairly clearcut.
Last night in an unusual chat show following the football there was comment about David Cameron , his role in calling the referendum, and a statement by Jeremy Corbyn.
Seems reasonable to ask Jeremy Corbyn how he voted in the referendum because the reporting since has been so misleading. "Blame Jeremy Corbyn" was so well prepared it was in the press release for the official Labour campaign. See earlier posts in this blog for my take at the time on what Jeremy Corbyn actually said. As in this clip not a "catastrophist" backer of extreme views as in what has been described as "project fear". He has a balanced view but it can be persuasive. Unfortunately for the Remain case he was not much reported and Labour supporters in media circles , influenced perhaps by Lord Mandelson and others, decided to follow the Cameron approach. Lord Darling shared a platform with Osborne to repeat the concerns for UK economy and the City.
So good to see some update on Corbyn. Please view the whole clip.
Meanwhile I look at the websites for Independent and Guardian. Independent at least mentions that Corbyn "insisted he voted to remain in the EU" but the Guardian has nothing on Corbyn at all. Somehow the UK media has managed to obscure what Corbyn said in the referendum to the point where his support for Remain appears unknown or open to question.
Cameron could be asked a question about how the internal problems for the Conservatives caused some risk for the UK.
UK media could be asked some questions about how their opposition to Corbyn has blocked reporting on Brexit.
By the way, all the alarm about the UK economy and the City could turn out to be right. But those worried about this could consider working with Corbyn views if they want political support. Accurate reporting would be a start.
