Swinson wins ban on retouched ads

Heavily airbrushed foundation adverts by Maybelline and Lancôme have been banned following a complaint by Jo Swinson MP, co-founder of the Campaign for Body Confidence.

The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) ruled this week that the advertisements for foundation products by Maybelline and Lancôme, owned by cosmetics giant L'Oréal, breached industry codes.

The regulator said it did not have enough evidence to prove that the images accurately represented what the foundations could achieve, and the ads - featuring extensive digital retouching to the skin of actress Julia Roberts and model Christy Turlington - were deemed likely to mislead.

"This ruling demonstrates that the advertising regulator is acknowledging the dishonest and misleading nature of excessive retouching," said Jo. "Pictures of flawless skin and super-slim bodies are all around, but they don't reflect reality. With one in four people feeling depressed about their body, it's time to consider how these idealised images are distorting our idea of beauty.

"Shockingly, even the ASA weren't contractually allowed to see the pre-production photo of Julia Roberts. It shows just how ridiculous things have become when there is such fear over an un-airbrushed photo that even the advertising regulator isn't permitted to see it.

"Excessive airbrushing and digital manipulation techniques have become the norm, but both Christy Turlington and Julia Roberts are naturally beautiful women who don't need retouching to look great.

"This ban sends a powerful message to advertisers - let's get back to reality," suggested Jo.

"This is devastating for Sara Payne who described some people at the News of the World as her 'trusted friends'.

"Rebekah Brooks warned of more to come, but this marks an unimaginable new low.

"BSkyB's board must now reconsider their unanimous support for James Murdoch, and those complicit in these terrible actions must be brought to justice."

"This is fantastic news for Sheffield. These jobs will be a huge boost to the city's economy and a sign of this Government's determination to make sure the country's great cities prosper.

"Sheffield is at the cutting edge of advanced manufacturing and technology in the UK and I'm proud the Coalition is helping to ensure that Made in Sheffield will be a sign of quality that will be recognised throughout the world for years to come."

The Deputy Prime Minister gave a speech on the media last week at the Institute for Government, London. In it, Nick Clegg set out the principles that he believes must now guide future reform:

First, that the freedom of the press is vital. Liberty and democracy are founded on freedom of expression.

Second, that our media must be held to account ensuring it acts within the bounds of the law and decent behaviour, with politicians and police equally accountable for their role.

Third, that our free, accountable press must be plural, guaranteeing healthy competition and diverse debate.

"Freedom, accountability, plurality. That is how we preserve the best qualities of investigative journalism, but mitigate the worst excesses of an unfettered press too," said Nick.

The recommendations of the report are directed towards schools, colleges, universities, government and regulators. Simon Hughes will say that efforts to increase participation in universities from underrepresented groups should start as early as 10 and 11 and better careers information, advice and guidance is vital.

Simon Hughes will also recommend that the national scholarship scheme should offer scholarships to every school and college.

Simon Hughes has written this report after spending six months listening to the views of young people, teachers and parents from around the country as well as education professionals and representatives from charities, universities, trade unions, and other representative organisations.

The report's key recommendations are:

The figures show:

• More than £17m was spent advertising in The Sun, including £4.5m between April 2009 and March 2010.
• More than £7m was spent advertising in the News of the World, including £1.8m between April 2009 and March 2010.
• £877,153 was spent advertising in all News International titles between April 2010 and March 2011.

"The current formula grant system is broken - it is far too complex and lacks transparency. For too long councils have had to do what Whitehall told them and could only spend what Whitehall gave them.

"Today's announcement will give councils much greater freedom to raise their own money and promote growth in their areas.

"Crucially, no council will lose out in the first year of the scheme and there will be a system of tariffs and top ups so that the richest authorities share the proceeds of growth and the areas of greatest need are protected.

"This is a big step towards the empowerment of local communities, and it is vital to get it just right. The consultation on our proposals is an important part of the process, and I want to hear people's responses loud and clear in the coming weeks.

"When it comes to localism, this government is determined to practice what it preaches."

"Once Sir Paul Stephenson resigned, it became inevitable that John Yates would step down as well, given his close connections to the original investigation.

"We must hope that the purge among the highest ranks is now complete.

"We now need urgent action to rebuild London's senior police team so they are in post and able to rebuild the Metropolitan Police's credibility and be ready for their biggest challenge next year, the security arrangements for the Olympics."

"At long last Rebekah Brooks has made the right decision, but it is far too late.

"It was disgraceful that Rupert Murdoch, when he arrived in the UK, said that his top priority was Rebekah Brooks rather than the people who had been affected by the alleged illegal activity of a small number of his staff.

"Brooks' resignation should not deflect attention from the police inquiry and the other judicial inquiries which must progress as quickly as possible so we can sort out this mess and return to having confidence in our media."
