**Good Law Project** has launched a legal challenge against **Ofcom** alleging that the broadcasting regulator has failed to take action to stop **TalkTV** from breaking the law with a torrent of misinformation and transphobic hate.

The Ofcom Broadcasting Code says that channels must protect the public from “harmful and/or offensive material”, must not misrepresent facts, and, when discussing major issues of “political controversy” and “current public policy”, must broadcast a “wide range of significant views”. However hosts and guests on TalkTV consistently spew misinformation and transphobic hate, without providing a balancing point of view.

In July 2025, Good Law Project filed a formal complaint with Ofcom, along with 21,000 members of the public, outlining TalkTV’s clear breaches of the broadcasting code. Despite this, Ofcom failed to take appropriate action to stop TalkTV from breaking the law, only opening an investigation into one out of the eleven incidents subject to complaints.

Now, Good Law Project has applied for a judicial review and if accepted, will go to the High Court to make the case that Ofcom’s inaction is not only a dereliction of duty, but that it is irrational and unlawful.

**Good Law Project campaigns manager Charlene Pink** said that “Ofcom is giving TalkTV a free pass to blatantly break the law. Instead of keeping hate and misinformation off our airwaves, Ofcom is allowing TalkTV to serve as a megaphone for billionaires to spread toxic lies and amplify dangerous, far-right rhetoric for their own political gain.”
