So Dacre to run OFCOM, says @thesundaytimes In a week when a genuinely great editor like Harry Evans has died, only Boris Johnson could resurrect Paul Dacre. Even the Mail realised Dacre should be spending more time with his various estates, less time poisoning public debate 1/3

The problem is that the UK does not have a PM in Number 10, but a journalist who trolls the nation. The country is run by a right-wing clique in which appointments like this are made not according to ability or values, but getting like-minded right-wingers to do dirty work 2/3

Dacre is someone who represents the worst of British values posing as the best. It is a dreadful appointment of a dreadful man by a dreadful Prime Minister. 3/3
