NewsUK NewsLGBTQ+The Good Law Project is launching a judicial review against Ofcom, accusing the regulator of failing to tackle alleged transphobic hate speech and misinformation on TalkTV12:36, 03 Jul 2026Updated 12:37, 03 Jul 2026Ofcom faces legal action for allegedly failing to act against claims of misinformation and transphobic hate on TalkTV.‌Good Law Project, a non-profit that uses the law to resist hate and bring hope, claims the broadcasting regulator failed to stop TalkTV from breaking the law and breaching the broadcast code. They allege the streaming site "consistently spews misinformation and transphobic hate, without providing a balancing point of view".‌The legal challenge, announced on June 30, follows a complaint the organisation submitted in July 2025, along with 21,000 members of the public, outlining TalkTV’s alleged breaches of the broadcasting code, claiming that “presenters and guests spouted hate about the trans community” during these programmes.‌The group claims the programmes contained misleading information about trans people, lacked due impartiality, and failed to adequately protect audiences from harmful or offensive material.‌Good Law Project claims Ofcom failed to take appropriate action, opening an investigation into only one of the 11 incidents subject to complaints. Now, it has applied for a judicial review and if accepted, the case will go to the High Court to argue that Ofcom’s inaction is "not only a dereliction of duty but is also irrational and unlawful."The group's campaigns manager Charlene Pink blasted Ofcom for giving TalkTV a "free pass". She said: "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.”The Good Law Project is challenging four Ofcom decisions regarding alleged transphobic broadcasts on TalkTV, including the regulator's findings that "highly offensive" remarks were "mitigated by context" and that trans issues do not constitute a major political controversy.Article continues belowAdditionally, the challenge targets Ofcom's rulings that TalkTV did not breach impartiality or accuracy rules, despite presenters allegedly sharing transphobic views, dismissing opposing perspectives, and misrepresenting legal and medical facts.An Ofcom spokesperson told The Mirror: “Ofcom stands by its decisions and will defend them in Court.”News UK was contacted for comment.Choose Daily Mirror as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.‌LGBTQ+
