Thank you so much everyone for your messages, I appreciate them so much and you have truly helped me this past crazy few days to know I have so many people supporting me.
I’ve seen a solicitor this afternoon who has given me some good advice regarding finances and the legalities when it comes to our jointly owned home, a lot to get my head around but I feel a lot more informed now!
I’ve missed two calls from my husband since I last updated, I’m worried he’s going to come to the house to try and speak to me but hoping he may think my brother is still here and not bother!

That’s not how this works nice though it might be to believe it.

Mumsnet have a broker who sells threads with high engagement ratings to the mainstream media. They have a rate card and formally assign the copyright in the thread to the paper in exchange for money (you have all assigned your copyright to Mumsnet when you signed up and given permission for this).

So posting on threads you start that you don’t give permission to the Daily Mail to report it is totally meaningless as is slagging off journalists for writing up a story based on content which has been sold to them. It’s no different to a journalist using agency copy or writing a story based on a press release.

And Mumsnet has a much bigger readership than almost every national newspaper anyway so the vast majority of people who read about the issue will have read it here anyway.

Hi @Katrinawaves We don't "sell threads" to the mainstream media. News outlets may monitor popular threads and write stories based on them, but they are not purchasing the content. When journalists report on Mumsnet discussions, they are doing so under fair use principles or through independent editorial decisions, not because Mumsnet has formally assigned them the content. On previous occasions when an OP has been upset by this, we have contacted the outlet and requested they remove the content and we will usually withdraw a thread that has been picked up if the OP requests.

Sorry for the interruption, OP - we felt it important to clarify this!
