Byline Times Podcast Adrian Goldberg

In this second podcast about England's local election results Adrian Goldberg reflects on success for Labour in the mayoral elections. They held London despite some forecasts to the contrary and secured the West Midlands, where Richard Parker won the vote after a partial recount to see off the incumbent Andy Street.
 
Adrian is joined by Byline Times founder and executive editor Peter Jukes and Cllr Steve Evans – Deputy Leader of Wolverhampton City Council where Labour strengthened its grip on the local authority, winning 17 of 20 seats up for grabs.

We mark Press Freedom Day by celebrating the Anti-Slapp campaign, which is aimed at protecting journalists who want to expose wrongdoing.
A SLAPP is a Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation – a legal case brought, usually by the rich and powerful to intimidate those who want to question their behaviour into silence.
 
Famous examples include the fomerChelsea owner and Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich who took action against Catherine Belton and her publisher Harper Collins over claims made in Belton’s book ‘Putin’s People’: and attempts by lawyers working for the then Chancellor Nadim Zahawi to gag tax lawyer and journalist Dan Neidle who’d been investigating his.finances.
 
Adrian Goldberg hears from Susan Coughtrie, co chair of the Anti Slapp coalition and  Lexie Kirkconnell-Kawana, CEO of the press regulator Impress.
