Champagne with Rupert Murdoch … Keir Starmer’s Labour is preparing for power
It's a smart, pragmatic move, to keep on the good side of the world's most powerful media mogul but it's infuriating that any politicians are obligated to attend private meetings with him
What does that mean? That Labour have to do what Murdoch tells them? Or offer him something?
I don’t think it’s smart. I think it raises much bigger issues of the influence that bullionaires hold over the (supposedly) democratic political system.
This. A cautious, managed Faustian pact. Sadly necessary.
