Interesting question.
As founder & director of Bylines Network, I can tell you.
Answer: Labour isn't.
The govt have set up a fund to support local news. This here is the panel of people who assess competitive bids --> gov.uk/government/groups/the…
So it was those industry figures who, as you can see, span a political range - and which collectively decided that two of our bids should win funding to support 1) citizen journalism training and 2) hyper local news organisations all over the UK.
If you'd like to know more about what we're actually doing with these grants to help local journalism everywhere in England and Wales, here's a piece I wrote on it --> yorkshirebylines.co.uk/socie…
The article by Andrew Gilligan is a pretty sloppy hit job, in which he attacks Byline Times (separate legal entity) more than us. We've written a complaint to the @spectator, copying in IPSO, highlighting factual errors and misrepresentations.

There is no low bar for Kemi she is a snide, narcissistic, arrogant leader who is self serving.
She has not got the integrity to lead this country.

Not content with cutting benefits for the disabled the Tories now want to cut the money parents get for sick and disabled children .
They really are scum
The Conservatives have published plans to cut £36-billion from the welfare bill including claims for what the party call 'low-level issues such as mild mental health problems and bad backs'.
On #BBCBreakfast shadow Work and Pensions Secretary Helen Whately was asked about plans to save £2.8 billion from changes to child disability living allowance

Kemi Badenoch is completely out of touch. She clearly doesn’t understand the pain, exhaustion and daily struggles of families raising children with additional needs.
These families fight every single day to get their children the support they deserve. They don’t need more fear, more uncertainty or the threat of losing vital help.
Saving £2.8 billion by targeting vulnerable children is shameful. Children are not a cost to be cut. They are human beings who deserve love, dignity and support.
Kemi Badenoch needs to understand the real lives behind these figures.
Please share. These families deserve to be heard.

It didn't think it was possible for Badenoch to get any more arrogant and unlikeable but she proves us wrong every week at #PMQs
The clowns who went through 5 PM's in as many years are now preaching about backstabbing.

Another blow for Nigel Farage as Reform's General Secretary departs after 16 months in the top job - including crucial role in suspending top figure and investigating aides over donations scandal trib.al/TKdsacA

Can anyone name a worthwhile thing the Tories did for the British public in their 14 years of destruction?

Kemi Badenoch bringing up Russell Brand at PMQs is extremely poor, even for her
She couldn't resist politicising it in any way she could

Kemi Badenoch frequently rails against ‘student politics’ but perpetually comes across as a sixth former having a hissy fit
She is, by far and away, the weakest Tory leader at #PMQs - and I’m old enough to remember Liz Truss

Are you or any of your loved ones receiving disability benefits? If so, the Tories and Reform have made it clear that, if they were in power, that support could become a thing of the past!

Hi! Mike here - founder of Bylines Network.
If you would like to know what this is actually for - it's supporting genuine hyper local news outlets everywhere... making sure they have the tech stacks, support, exposure and community-building they need.

On the upside, the £36bn the Tories plan to take away from the sick and disabled will just about cover the £37bn they gave Dido Harding to run the Test and Trace XL spreadsheet

Meet tory leader @KemiBadenoch and her shadow cabinet minister @Helen_Whately they want to cut welfare, freeze minimum wage for 5 years and take railcards away from people.
While they both claim their rent, utility bills and council tax on taxpayer funded expenses.👇

I find it very hard to take lectures on affordability from a woman who consistently has one of the highest expenses bills in Parliament. – at Winsford, England

I loathe Whateley with a passion. She's claiming more benefits than most, whilst being a millionaire.
