This is a reminder that Julian Assange leaked lists of names of Jews living in Baghdad, of gay people in Saudi Arabia and dissidents in Turkey, directly threatening their lives. Just because he could. A free media is a vital thing, but it's a responsibility too.

"Ooo, but what did Lord Alli want in return, eh?" Well, given that he's a Labour Lord, Labour's chief fundraiser and was part of Starmer's campaign team, I'd say he wanted a Labour goverment in return.
