When the press-controlled complaints-handler IPSO was set up in 2014, the industry trumpeted what they said was its ground-breaking new power to commence "standards investigations" with "million pound fines".

Yet, nearly 7 years after it was set up, IPSO has not launched a single standards investigation, nor issued a single fine.
