I think it's a bit difficult to say at the moment because certainly, you know, in the recent election or the election last year of the new Labour Prime Minister, Kirsten Naughton, certainly now the Labour Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, the Labour Party was
petrified of doing anything saying anything which might affect the my anger the tabloids and really we're talking about the Sun and the Daily Mail in the UK the Daily Mirror which is no longer the Daily Mirror but it once was and the Daily Mirror of course was originally founded by Harnsworth in 1904
And it was not an immediate success, but that's a whole other story which I can come back to if you want.
But Keir Starmer and the Labour Party were paranoid about doing anything about the Sun or the Mail.
So they still have quite an influence.
The influence isn't quite the same.
I mean, the Sun circulation is not published these days.
Neither is the Daily Mail.
But it's a fraction of what it was when you're talking about sort of 10 to 12 million people reading those newspapers every day.
Thank you.
and so it's a different climate, but they still have an influence that permeates through their websites, through social media, and influencing public discourse.
There's always been, within the rest of the media, whether you're talking about BBC News or serious newspapers like The Times or The Telegraph, they have to...
If a story's making waves in the tabloids, they feel obliged to follow it, whether it's about politics or whether it's about a celebrity.
They're having affairs or something.
The rest of the British media eventually will catch up and will follow it.
But you have to also remember that the British media particularly is dominated by...
a right-wing influence consensus.
The newspapers on the center and the left are very, very much in the minority.
So if the Sun takes on a particular position on politics, it's going to be followed by the Times and by the Telegraph and by
We now have right-wing television stations in the UK, such as GB News, which follow a more right-wing agenda, closer to the kind of agendas that you see being pushed by Fox News and so forth in the States.
