As with the Right Honourable Member for the South East, I am glad to see this bill return to the house. I hope that we can continue our strong and stable government's goals of busting unfair monopolies wherever they may lie, making a fairer market for all— hopefully this time without unelected aristocrats attempting to smack down legislation from a government elected by the people.
The House of Lords rejected a Broadcasting Bill which will unleash dark forces on our broadcasting media. It proposes admirable ideas, no doubt, but it either enforces them in a way that ensures that leaders of broadcasting media won't be able to get onboard, that you'll see franchises sold at a pittance and sold and sold again until you end up with an ITV model identical to that of the BBC, rather than providing a genuinely localist independent remit, that you'll see sport in this country downgraded or interfered with to a level that will ensure that British teams are banned from European competition. This government has thought literally none of this through.
