Paul Marshall owns the Spectator political magazine and the television station GB News. At one time he sought to own The Daily Telegraph. All pursue right-wing agendas.
According to Wikipedia 'Marshall has given at least £10 million to the Church Revitalisation Trust to plant new churches in the Holy Trinity Brompton network, which as of 2024 has over 100 churches. A source inside the CRT described it as "promoting an evangelical agenda to the masses", and as an "antidote" to the "liberal wokery" of the Church of England.'
Recently he has been in the United States encouraging conservative Evangelicals with media influence to promote MAGA style policies in The UK.
This linking together of politics, media and faith influence must be a cause for concern for those who follow the way of Jesus, the way of love and promote inclusion for all, social justice for all and an end to marginalisation, discrimination and poverty.
