So that’s two obvious and deliberate IPSO breaches in one day, both by female columnists, Janice Turner in the Times, Amanda Platell in the Mail.
Plus I just found this Julie Bindell one from a couple of days ago (but it might be an online only article, and they aren’t IPSO compulsory compliant?)

Who is next? Suzanne Moore at the Telegraph? Hadley Freeman at Sunday Times? Sarah Vine at Daily Mail? I bet they’ve all protested this Orwellian madness to their bosses many times?
And Julie Birchall has surely been waiting for this day for years already (but I don’t think she’s a columnist at present? Freelance contributors might find it harder to get the back up? Presume there are insurance differences when it comes to legal fees?)
Here’s the list of those signed up to the compulsory scheme:
The following publications have agreed to participate in the compulsory IPSO arbitration scheme. This means they must accept any genuine arbitration claim.
