Jeremy Hunt wants to approve Rupert Murdoch’s BSkyB takeover in a few days time. But the coalition is weak and divided. With a huge appeal now to Vince Cable – who knows the danger Murdoch poses to our democracy - we can derail the deal.



In return for supporting David Cameron at the general election, Rupert Murdoch expected to own all of BSkyB months ago. Murdoch’s fuming now we’ve forced the government to put the brakes on. The Lib Dems were hammered by voters last month and are now desperately trying to distance themselves from the Tories -- so let’s raise a mass outcry to Vince Cable to follow his conscience and threaten to resign unless the government blocks this deal.



Sign the petition calling on Cable to stand up against News Corporation, and for our democracy. We’ll deliver it with a splash to the Business Secretary next week, making huge media waves that could rock the coalition. With the hacking scandals piling up and the cost of the deal rising every day this could be decisive. Sign now.
