Keir Starmer Declines to Revive Second Stage of Leveson Inquiry

Prime Minister prioritizes other issues despite calls from press regulation advocates and victims of media intrusion.

Gerry McCann urges Labour to fulfill promises made to victims of press misconduct by proceeding with Leveson Part 2.
Starmer confirms that the second half of the Leveson Inquiry is not a priority for his government.
Campaigners criticize Starmer for not committing to the inquiry, accusing him of lacking courage to confront powerful media owners.
The first part of the Leveson Inquiry led to recommendations for press regulation following the phone-hacking scandal.
The second part of the inquiry was intended to examine the relationship between the media and the police but was canceled in 2018.
