"Increasingly, it has felt as though parts of the British press are not up to the curbing democratic practice of holding our government to account. As the Conservatives metastasised into a nativist populist project and won a parliamentary majority, there were too few alarm bells or flashing lights. Instead, a normalising media patter set up Boris Johnson as a scones-and-jam-eating, freedom-loving, socially liberal prime minister. Well, now his government has passed a shockingly authoritarian policing bill, a severe crackdown on protest that also criminalises Gypsy and traveller communities. One MP described the bill’s rules as “so loose and lazy they would make a dictator blush”. The contrast between political reality and media portrayal could hardly be starker."
