You notice that the criminal-in-charge who sues everyone for everything is drop dead quiet about this. Says a lot.

Police have released a sketch of the main suspect accused of defacing the reflecting pool.

All that needs to be done is make political advertising subject to the Advertising Standards Authority: legal, decent, honest and truthful. Secondary legislation tomorrow!

“The objective is apparently to weaken the programs that measure climate change and then claim the problem is ‘uncertain’. But turning off the alarm does not put out the fire.” #Science 🧪 #Climate www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

nobody in British politics seems to want to say it but the single biggest driver of their inability to keep a prime minister for any length of time is that Brexit was stupid and ruinous and made everyone’s lives worse

Chump And RepubliCROOKS, And The Laws They Abuse, To Amuse, The Chump Regime Fools.......

The public was warned. Several of his business ventures went bankrupt. He inherited his initial wealth. He is facing over 300 lawsuits. The east wing was supposed to be paid for by donors. Talk about a scam artist.

The attacks in Edinburgh, in which an armed bare-chested white man terrorised Muslims, leaving five people injured, don't feature on a single newspaper front page this morning. Two tier journalism

Trump thought his federal pardons would completely shield his fake electors in Wisconsin. He was wrong. A state court just pushed ahead with 11 severe felony counts. Read the legal update: 👇 www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/eight-wins...

I think this is broadly right. We don't have an epidemic of violent crime (on the part of asylum seekers, migrants or anyone else) nor are we torn apart/wracked by racism/antisemitism/Islamophobia, serious issues as they are, and the media, especially the BBC, shouldn't tell us we are.

The 500 richest people on the globe added $336 billion to their fortunes on Monday, bringing their collective net worth to a record $13.3 trillion. Read that back. Our problem isn’t an issue of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding wealth inequality.

open.substack.com/pub/rorycell... Is it ‘madness’, as one pundit suggests, to consider dropping Palantir from the NHS? Or is it bonkers to keep supporting Trump loving US tech bros?

Historically, the GOP, now known as the Magat Party has never been fiscally responsible when it's in power.

For more than a decade, we have worked with former pupils, Ofsted, and Parliamentarians to warn that loopholes in the law have allowed illegal religious schools to operate with little fear of inspection or prosecution. humanists.uk/2026/06/17/i...

Who and what is really behind what's been happening in Belfast? Marisa asked me to explain what's been going on

The closer you look, the shadier he becomes.

Can we finally get an apology from all the oh so sensible commentators who have spent the past ten years insisting Nigel Farage isn't part of the far-right

Tom Gray is amazing at this sort of thing. An impassioned speech to the Ivors Academy. Inspiring stuff.

"Trump's new line of attack against Graham Platner. He's a thug, the kind of thug who — wait for it — needs help from his parents to start a business, as thugs do,"

This is very good, because it puts the blame not just on Farage/Lowe, but on most/much of the "British right" in politics and media (as well as the PM's inaction/acquiescence) www.economist.com/britain/2026...

Vote Reform for mass unemployment. If Farage and Tice win, they'll destroy a million jobs, while offering nothing in return. Spread the word: for the sake of their billionaire funders, they will throw you out of work. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The BBC 10 o’clock news says the right wing idea of ethnic minorities being given preferential treatment in criminal justice is likely to become a “growing fault line in our politics” WITHOUT POINTING OUT THAT IT IS SIMPLY NOT TRUE. What’s the point of the news if it doesn’t correct disinformation?

Not just ashamed of him, ashamed of our country for allowing such a disgusting pig the opportunity to destroy our country. Destroy relationships with our allies. Pocket taxpayer dollars. Allow Americans to suffer and die needlessly. It’s a crying shame.

The truth Brexiter refuse to admit. ‘We are suffering a punishing Brexit tax every day’ says former foreign secretary in withering assessment of decision to leave the bloc’

"Recklessness with the futures of 70m people remains unforgivable – and the guilt belongs to Cameron and Osborne almost as much as to Gove and Johnson." Excellent by @jonathanfreedland.bsky.social, though Corbyn & other Lexiteers also among the guilty men. #Brexit www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The BBC's flagship politics show devoting the whole programme this morning to 'two tier policing'. May as well hand the entire schedule directly over to Elon Musk www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/the-bbcs-t...

Huge thanks once again to Laura Kuenssberg for not being so impolite as to ask Zia Yusuf about me hiding a £5 million gift, being paid to throw an election or my dodgy house purchases.

Corruption in plain sight. It will take a decade to fix this debacle. #TrumpCorruption

You are doing him a massive favour by not explicitly saying that he is an obvious example of the dangerous ideology that the anti fascist allies fought against at D-day.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social - if you want to understand what pulling out of the JCPOA did in under 3 mins - this is Obama’s National Security Council chairperson - someone that was deeply involved with the JCPOA and the subsequent enforcement and fallout under Biden.

Don’t forget murder. Some of them will be convicted of murder.

Sadly, the villain does indeed exist, and not in the singular. The Telegraph's shy and retiring owners are just some of the ultra-wealthy with the power to manipulate the markets for their own entertainment. Unheeding of ordinary working people, of the elderly, of the sick... @greenparty.org.uk

It is overwhelmingly clear that non-white Brits are much more likely to be stopped, detained, disbelieved and mistreated by the police than whites, yet the BBC has spent the entire week giving oxygen to the far-right fantasy that the complete opposite is the case. Here’s what I think is going on

Nigel Farage is a demagogue who has little regard for facts or the truth. Journalists covering him have no such excuse app.prospectmagazine.co.uk/story/73749/...

JD Vance and the United States have no right to lecture the UK on law enforcement or how to police. Sort your own house out.

Dear BBC journalists, you really do not have to 'debate' every far-right talking point that pops up on your X feed. It is not "deeply contentious" to suggest non-white people can't be English. It's racist. The word you're looking for is racist

Jeff Daniels' powerful rant against Trump. This video was deleted from facebook yesterday. You know what to do ‼️

"After Sarah Everard was killed by a police officer, Farage said: 'we musn't allow the tragic murder of a woman to turn into attacks on men and police'. "Five years on - the right is fighting with itself to be the party that doxxes, incites, whips up."

Nigel Farage wants nothing more than for the UK to tip into large scale disorder. He proved it again this week. The fact that this also distracts from the serious questions around the £5m Harborne donation he received for his work done on Brexit is just the cherry on top.

Watch all the Republican senators fall in line to confirm Blanche because he “canceled” the slush fund (though he won’t put that in writing) but allowed the Trump tax immunity to remain.

populist authoritarians look for 'useful' crimes they can use to a) whip up hatred against out-groups. b) then whip up hatred of 'liberal elites' who counter with facts c) justify increased surveillance & police powers. Farage doing nothing new - but no less dangerous of being tried & tested tactic
