General Election. Later media career Since 2002, Platell has contributed as a freelancer to the Daily Mail. On 21 November 2011, at the Leveson Inquiry into the culture, practice and ethics of the British press, Hugh Grant accused Platell of a "hatchet job" on his recent fatherhood following an article she wrote for the Daily Mail. She has written articles calling for greater restrictions on Internet pornography. Platell regularly reviewed the Sunday newspapers on The Andrew Marr Show. In 2020 the Daily Mail paid damages of £25,000 to the Cambridge academic Professor Priyamvada Gopal and agreed to pay her legal costs after Platell libellously claimed, citing fake tweets, that she was "attempting to incite an aggressive and potentially violent race war".
