Why is there so much anger over the sale of Channel 4? Tonnes of slebs are very cross and have signed a petition. But there’s no guarantee it will actually happen now that some Tory backbenchers have expressed their misgivings. If I were a Tory and cared at all about this issue — which, to be clear, you shouldn’t — I’d be mindful of the Prime Minister’s track record when it comes to matters requiring a backbone.
