Farage‘s connection with Epstein appears to be more directly financial than Starmer’s, but it seems uninteresting to the political press. bylinetimes.com/2025/11/19/d...

📌 ICYMI — Bannon, Epstein, Farage and Johnson and the Plot to ‘Topple’ Theresa May The far-right former Trump adviser told Jeffrey Epstein that "we are overthrowing May right now"… https://bylinetimes.com/2026/02/16/bannon-epstein-farage-and-johnson-and-the-plot-to-topple-theresa-may/

Russian dissident Alexei Navalny was almost certainly killed by a poison derived from a rare frog toxin in an Arctic prison colony two years ago, several European governments said.

I’m not going to speak on behalf of the chap but I’m pretty sure Jesus would not have been ok with this.

I don't think anything is more exciting to me than a whole 2010-"fuck it, this is cool/important to me, we're making it"-coded indie game, made by a team-up of two of the most notable indie devs still standing of their dinstinct waves of indie devs, over what is basically a decade of work.

Sex and snacks, but no seat at the table: the role of women in Epstein’s sordid men’s club

Mayor of London Sadiq Khan says London Centric's investigation shows the need for greater regulation of the algorithms on sites such as TikTok to stop "bad faith actors spreading hate for clicks". "Accounts are talking London down because the algorithms reward them for doing so," he says.

Hate-filled fake videos about London are everywhere. We've obtained a recording of a TikToker confessing to secretly filming Londoners in their homes for clicks. He says it's not political. He just wants to make money from far-right anger. Read what he says: www.londoncentric.media/p/london-tik...

“One way of seeing how a toleration of avoidance leads to conflict is that when we give up on engaging with moral disagreements, we create a moral void at the heart of public discourse.” That, in his view, has been the cost of the politics we have seen since the 1990s” www.ft.com/content/7804...

A comment on this placard: “The deepest cause which made the French Revolution so disastrous to liberty was its theory of equality… With this theory of equality, liberty was quenched in blood and French­men became ready to sacrifice all other things to save life and fortune.” - Lord Acton

This post from “Better Things Are Possible” is in incredibly bad taste and I was surprised to see it go viral. You do not persuade people to follow your political ideology by threatening them. Many people agree with bits of ideology that fall under the umbrella of woke but not all of it.

New episode! We're joined by The Guardian's @mackeza.bsky.social to talk about her new book, Super Nintendo, which is out now in the US and February 12th in the UK. Listen wherever you get podcasts: open.spotify.com/episode/5L2z...

Just a quick note to @greenparty.org.uk and @greenpartyhan.bsky.social - I was not consulted on being quoted on your leaflets and I have not endorsed your campaign (or any campaign in this seat). I think this note, like the bar chart next to it, is misleading and out of context.

Burnham, who in a bout of left-wing populism told us that we should ignore the bond market, has demonstrated loud and clear that he would not be a sensible steward of the economy. This development can only put more wind in the sails of the Liberal party. 🔶 bsky.app/profile/edwa...

Immigration is a fake problem. We have politicians on the one hand who want to use immigrants as scapegoats for our real ones and politicians on the other who are too cowardly to stand against them and tell the truth. That is the entire situation. Until that changes, people will continue to die.

This is deeply concerning. UAE–Russia relations are booming, with trade hitting roughly $11.5bn in 2024 amid closer cooperation since the invasion of Ukraine. Why is an MP from a seaside town so keen to meet senior officials from a state aligned this closely with Moscow?

Why is the Member of Parliament for Clacton, a seaside town in Essex, meeting with senior officials from the UAE? www.ft.com/content/f4e6...

On hearing about Farage’s meetings in the UAE, I’ve just donated to the Lib Dems. This has to be a people-powered movement: our small donations may not match the foreign billionaires backing him, but we should still do our best to defend British values libdems.my.salesforce-sites.com/DonationPage...

This is where we are. Read this joint statement by France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the Kingdom of Denmark on Greenland: "Greenland belongs to its people. It is for Denmark and Greenland, and them only, to decide on matters concerning Denmark and Greenland."
