Three people who’d be expected to be Your Party bigwigs have largely walked away from Corbyn’s project: former NE mayor Jamie Driscoll, former Labour MP Beth Winter, and former ANC MP Andrew Feinstein. I have some new intel on the fall-out, if you’re interested in that sort of thing… 🧵

🚨Exclusive: BBC and Guardian editors held secret meetings with Israel's former army chief one month after the Gaza bombing began. The meetings were seen by Israel as a key avenue for promoting the brutal onslaught in Gaza. www.declassifieduk.org/bbc-guardian...

Thought the Guardian were the good guys?

Spider mite up close. Thinking about a public-friendly UK intro to Acari, similar to other ID workshops but a bit trickier since these animals are so small. Would need a good host site, and if there’s interest, I may bring experts from the US. Thoughts? 🪲🪳 #invert #entomology

Yes, yes, I know you aren't meant to respond to someone, finally, moving in a positive direction with "about bloody time", but seriously. They had the chance to do this in July last year. How many children have suffered under this policy since then?

Quick thread on the BBC and the political and societal significance of recent developments: One of the main reasons the UK has historically been so much less polarised than the US, is that Britain has a shared source of information, consumed and trusted by most people regardless of their politics.

What an absolute travesty: Sarkozy got 5 years and served just 3 weeks of his sentence. Is it any wonder people believe there are a different set of rules for elites? www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

NEW: Rachel Reeves signals she intends to remove the two-child cap *in full* "I don't think a child should be penalised because they're in a bigger family through no fault of their own," she tells BBC.

What a day for the Government to reveal this potentially v positive news

"Just in the past 12 months, the group held seven meetings with members of the European Parliament, compared to just one in the five years prior, according to Parliament records." These include MEPs from far-right parties from Germany, Hungary, Czechia, Spain and France.

Scrapping the cap entirely is both good policy *and* good politics. Half measures will "save" some money short-term, but will piss *everybody* off and still leave very large numbers of children suffering from a policy designed to make them poorer. inews.co.uk/news/politic...

In the meantime maybe the UK government could abandon their presence on social media platforms that are run by people who call for 'the English to ally with the hard men, like Tommy Robinson, and fight for their survival or they shall surely all die' and claim that 'civil war is inevitable'.

"Some of the soldiers interviewed [...] said they were influenced by the language of Israeli politicians and religious leaders suggesting that after the Hamas attack of 7 October 2023, in which about 1,200 Israelis and foreign nationals were killed, every Palestinian was a legitimate target."

I'm going to bet Trump gets the FIFA peace prize whilst Infantino sucks him off - live, just before the final. www.npr.org/2025/11/06/g...

Trump has threatened to bomb or invade 7 countries with a shot to play in the 2026 World Cup. He *has* bombed one (Iran) and said he'd deny them visas. He's preparing for war with another (Venezuela). He has summarily executed citizens from at least 3. He has imposed tariffs on nearly all of them.

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

When Boris Johnson was Prime Minister one of his senior advisers confided to me that one of the only things in politics his boss actually cared about was “killing off the BBC”. Five years on, and it is a campaign that appears to be finally coming to fruition. bylinetimes.com/2025/11/10/t...

Andrew Lownie wrote an explosive book about Prince Andrew Then backlash came. Legal threats. Social media trolls accused him of visiting sex workers Journalists were told they’d lose Palace access if they spoke to him This interview feels very more timely today www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJHa...

Anyone in MI5 taking anything "on trust" from anyone in the Trump administration tells me everything I need to know about the "intelligence" services.

Britain’s Jeffrey Epstein👇🏻 Funny how Royals were connected to both trafficking rings directly or indirectly But not unsurprising These rings supply the super-rich (a society of which the RF are fully paid up members) with easy access to sex with young people in comfortable & private surroundings

Enthusiasm might inform essential political and global decisions, but it cannot be a driver in that sphere. No leaderships seem to be acting in the full interests of the planet. Clear heads, devastating facts, seem to be in short supply. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Lmao.

So New York billionaires are going to flock to UK to escape wealth tax, says The Times despite The Times saying repeatedly that billionaires are fleeing Britain to escape wealth tax. It’s almost like they’re just making this shite up! 🤡 www.thetimes.com/uk/london/ar...

"remains in custody as he is subject to an indeterminate sentence of Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP)". Michelle Mone walks free. Boris Johnson: "let the bodies pile high". etc. Who has been the biggest threat to public safety? Who has more blood on their hands? www.bbc.com/news/article...

This is the rule of law in the UK. 20 years in prison for stealing a phone. 8,493 persons serving indefinite prison sentences, often for petty crime. No one charged for the Post Office scandal, Grenfell fire, cladding scandal, mortgage prisoners, banking frauds. Who does the law serve?

Once every 20 years or so, the director-general of the BBC is forced to resign for being insufficiently rightwing. Alastair Milne in 1987. Greg Dyke in 2004. Tim Davie in 2025. The great irony is that the BBC was in all cases profoundly biased towards established power. But just not biased enough …

Patriots.

Everything on our news agenda is being driven by a corrupted disinformation machine, run by a billionaire who sponsors Tommy Robinson and who keeps trying to foment civil war in the UK. And incredibly our MPs & news providers stay there. THAT is the problem. Not some bad editing choice on the BBC.

We've got Australian style points based immigration system and now we're getting a Danish style asylum system We have thought of nothing and we're already out of ideas

Good to see someone involved in the field describing the techbro fantasies as “bullshit”. But note the link between this nonsense and eugenicist ideas from Altman. These people are rich, stupid and influential, which = dangerous.

This will be the Robbie Gibb of the BBC, 'responsible for upholding the independence of the BBC'. Yeah, right.

25 paragraphs before the Guardian gets to the truth, which even then it can't bring itself to have a position on (www.theguardian.com/media/2025/n...).

See what’s happening. A Trumpist US media company has taken over Channel 5. Another US company is gunning for ITV. Our social media is saturated by Musk’s calls for civil war in the UK. The BBC is the last thing standing, and Trump/Johnson are trying to bring it down

"these dynamics are unusual," says Prof Nicola Lewis. "It does concern me, absolutely," she says. "I'm not panicking, but I am worried." This doesn't sound good - get vaccinated if you can. Some protection is better than none for the most vulnerable. www.bbc.com/news/article...
