- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.
The owner of each outlet is listed as a matter of record, not as a judgement about the outlet.
Every outlet covering this story shares the same political lean; read with that in mind.
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has vowed to deport foreign criminals from UK prisons and has opened talks with the government of El Salvador regarding the potential rental of prison spaces. In a separate development, Farage welcomed a revived police probe into an alleged arson attack at his home. Farage stated that the incident involved arson and an attempted forcing of the door, claiming that counter terrorism police previously made mistakes that led to a referral to the Independent Office of Police Complaints. He linked the necessity of his security to the murder of Ann Widdecombe, asserting that the security services only began taking the safety of Reform figures seriously after her death. Police records previously listed the incident at Farage's home as an attempted burglary and closed the case without identifying suspects. CTP London has since stated it identified a line of inquiry that may have been relevant but was not pursued at the time. The police watchdog is currently investigating the conduct of a CTP London staff member over allegations of failure to pursue that lead.
