I'd pass a UK version of the Canadian Broadcasting Act, 1991, making foreign (or non-dom) ownership of publications or broadcast stations illegal, and making them legally responsible for the material they publish, including veracity.
And a proper regulatory body.

I've no idea how you'd implement this.

A lot of modern wrongs; from untraceable landlords, aggressing tax evasion to shadowy political donations, seem to lead back to shell companies.
I'd like to see serious work to ensure a traceable breathing person, with UK currency reserves, in case of liability at the end of each of these chains.

There are probably good arguments why this cannot be done.
