What would it be
Total restructuring of the media:
Multi-millionaire media moguls banned from owning media outlets that provide news.
Media outlets to show their political allegience. No more than two newspapers allowed to promote any political party.
An independant media organisation with real teeth to clamp down on nonsense reporting and deliberate lies designed to hurt others - newspapers can be withdrawn from circulation for intentionally lying.
Same media organisation to check for impartiality.
Basically, a restructuring that gives everyone fair play in the media, not the most wealthy telling the masses how to think.
Increase the Prime Minister's severance package to a billion quid
Find a way to ensure Johnson didn't get his job back.
But surely we're in a position where this supposed free-est of free press is mainly run by billionnaires. Journalists at them are hardly free, they have to conform to their masters. We don't get much neutrality, particularly in the printed media; it is driven mainly by very rich men and their agendas.
I suppose my idea of free press is that everyone deserves a voice, and I'd like to see people having a more equal voice, regardless of how rich they are or what school they went to. Supposed freedom of the press certainly doesn't allow for that. You're all for freedom of speech. What is wrong with some regulation to ensure more people and more different viewpoints have access to providing that speech without being drowned out by the wealthy and the establishment?

Cancel Brexit?
Does "after covid" mean excluding covid related rules or literally after covid has passed? Brexit is probably biggest issue of internet debate after covid but likely to be settled, to the extent that it can't be cancelled, before the majority get vaccinated.
Stop being so hung up on economic growth.
I would abolish the House of Lords.
Based on what you have written, freedom of speech doesn't mean what you think it means. Freedom of speech is the ability to criticise the government, to be able to hold them to account.
Which billionaires own the Guardian, Private Eye, the BBC, the Independent etc etc?
That's not quite right. Freedom of expression is the right to hold your own opinions and to express them freely without government interference. The government can restrict this right in specific circumstances.

Well yes of course. No one is suggesting otherwise.
The point often overlooked is that freedom of speech is not about being able to say what you want about who you want (defamation laws see to that), but being able to criticise the government openly without fear of persecution (save for the points you've referred to)
