Join the fight to keep investigative journalism and your freedom alive
Bringing in Section 40 would cripple the number of scoops newspapers have brought to you in the past like the MP expenses scandal and sleazy Lord Sewell
WITHOUT a free Press you would never have read about a peer of the realm doing cocaine with prostitutes, or Fifa's criminal cartel.
MPs' expenses files which exposed our politicians on the take, would have stayed secret.

And there would have been no justice for Stephen Lawrence.
If Section 40 of the Crime and Courts Act is passed, these and thousands of other stories that the rich and powerful don't want you to read would be under grave threat.
We need you to voice your opposition to this perversion of natural justice and help keep the Press free.
Section 40 would mean anyone could sue newspapers for libel on a whim.
Even if they had no case whatsoever, and then lost, the paper would have to pay the entire bill.
A crooked politician or businessman could sue the publication that exposed him and bankrupt it even when he lost.
It would be the instant death of investigative journalism.
Newspapers could no longer afford to expose scandals in the public interest and provably true.
The only safety would be under a new regulator IMPRESS - a dubious outfit bankrolled by Max Mosley, a tycoon with a vendetta against the Press - which is backed by Royal Charter, giving politicians control over newspapers for the first time since 1695.
