I don't particularly like the source, but it's important to not let the source affect the story when the source isn't distorting the story, and although this is a tory rag, it isn't distorting this story.

I think this is a politically significant move.

An incredibly unpopular leader desperately trying to censor his way out of electoral Armageddon based on current polling.

This is par for the course for the UK establishment, which has repeatedly wielded the Online Safety Act against protected speech they disagree with politically.

Unfortunately for them, this won't stop the destruction of both major parties next election. Polls have never been this bad, and Starmer won't even survive the year with his colleagues not so sneakily sharpening their knives.
