Good Law Project and Stop Funding Hate Turn on GB News as Coffers Dry Up

Left-wing Good Law Project and Stop Funding Hate have been tireless in their censorship campaign against GB News. The Good Law Project rallied its supporters to fill out complaint forms against GB News to send to Ofcom while, conveniently harvesting their data for potential use “to further develop the campaign.” They then did the same again “to stop Sky funding hate speech” by facilitating ads on GB. Meanwhile, Stop Funding Hate is still handing round the begging bowl, urging donors to “help build the fightback against GB News.” A quick look at the books sheds some light on why they’re rattling the tin…

Latest accounts show Jolyon Maugham’s Good Law Project clawed back just £467 in legal costs last year, as its fortunes nosedive under Labour. Once rolling in crowdfunded cash – raking in £1.86 million in 2022 – it scraped together a mere £83,523 through five crowdfunders since July. They closed its vanity law firm, burning through £439,100 on the way down. Stop Funding Hate isn’t faring much better, limping along with a £28,005 net income loss and scrambling to cover its £92,683 campaigning bill via another crowdfunder. Baroness Claire Fox said:

“These revelations show that it’s craven intolerance of media freedom and viewpoint diversity that animates these campaign groups. That these attacks on regulated media outlets are also used by activists to raise cash to fund their continued assaults on free speech, is especially grubby.”
