We need more figures in the media who can challenge the liberal elite's intellectual, centralist bias and communicate a different narrative. People who can represent normal working people with a left of centre voice, as clearly the Parliamentary Labour Party no longer sees this as their responsibility and does not provide this anymore?
Mick is brilliant at cutting through the bias, the predjudice, the stupidity and the lack of balance. He has endured some shockingly rude, dismissive and biased interviews (Kate Burley on Sky was an all time low in unbiased presntation of the facts) and still provides clarity and good sense grounded in real world experience.
His rise to prominance has highlighted how utterly dismissive the mainstream media is of ordinary people and working class concerns. They mock him and his colleagues as stupid because of their working class accents, they repeat the same ill informed tropes ( higher wqges = inflationary spiral), they set one group against another (Nurses vs Rail workers), they deny the right of working people to collective bargaining calling them 'greedy' if they ask for more than they are being offered, and mostly they mischaracterise industrial action as 'holding the nation to ransom' in an effort to demonise unions. One interviewer on GMB even asked Mr Lynch was a Communist Revolutionary! Insulting, patronising and dismissive.
Every time Mr Lynch speaks on a UK tv or radio outlet he highlights the need for organisations such as Double Down News.
