Do you mean Brexit? Otherwise I don't recall the last time that the Murdoch press has had any influence on any policy in either the EU or the United States.

The Murdoch press was for Sweden-style COVID-19 policies and deescalation in Ukraine. If it had been listened to, we'd have low gas prices and economic prosperity now.

Instead, Biden pumped up the stock market with COVID-19 relief funds handed out to his interest groups and sent Kamala Harris (who did not know what Ukraine was) to the Munich "peace" conference, where liberals Stoltenberg et. al. escalated further.

So, apart from Brexit, which Murdoch opinion has been implemented in the past decade?

Are you discounting Fox News as being part of the Murdoch Press? Because they definitely have an outsized influence on US policy, at least on the GOP side.

Deescalation in Ukraine? How did it propose to achieve that, just yield to an invading country?

Apart from choosing pretty much every British PM in my lifetime?
