I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.

#Corruption - a giant and growing problem in Global North, still heavily undercounted. #DirtyMoney flows at huge volumes into and through UK #FinancialSystem www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...

The UK and US have sunk to new lows in a global index of corruption, amid a “worrying trend” of democratic institutions being eroded by political donations, cash for access and state targeting of campaigners and journalists www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...

Hard to believe that none of the Reform MPs turned up for the debate on Russian interference in our politics. Maybe they were visiting their former Kremlin talking points Welsh leader Nathan Gill in prison? Or en route to their next BBC interview to act as commentators on why Starmer should go?

A £240m defence contract without tender. Their fingerprints all over our health care data. A meeting in the USA but without any minutes. Everything around Palantir stinks. www.thenational.scot/news/2584192...

Call it what it is: a grooming gang. I'm off to a "refugee hotel" on Sunday & looking forward to asking the flagshaggers what they think about what the Rich White Folks got up to...

Does anyone genuinely believe that if Fáragë became PM he'd do anything about the Epstein Grooming Gang?

I'd like a Health Secretary who spends his days getting to grips with the numerous problems facing the NHS instead of constantly preening himself to become PM.

This of course could have been resolved ages ago if Starmer had bothered to appoint a Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport

This is Reform MS Laura Anne Jones inside the Welsh Parliament railing against a decision by a Bangor Uni student society to ban Reform from a debate. It is worth noting that Ms Anne Jones has previously repeatedly declined requests for interviews with journalists.

No-one seems to have noticed, but many of the core developments in the Mandelson/Epstein story these last few days have been broken on this website. @pickardje.bsky.social and @petergeoghegan.bsky.social are both posting each breaking development on BlueSky, not X.

Sir Chris Wormald played a central role in the failures that led to the deaths of our loved ones and he should resign. He has no place in any government that claims to listen to families bereaved by Covid. 1/3

If the Mandelson-Epstein affair shows anything, it is how urgently Britain still needs a proper reckoning with Russian interference in its politics 👇 citizensreunited.substack.com/p/palantir-p...

Ben Goldsborough MP speaking in a debate on Russian influence on UK politics: “It seems Reform politicians are comfortable doing the Kremlin’s dirty work for them, regardless of whether they get paid for the privilege or not.”

Productivity increases between 5% and 13% with working from home, and worker wellbeing improves hugely too. But Farage doesn't care about reality. Or productivity. Or your wellbeing. He cares about the workplace property investors who bankroll him. www.greatplacetowork.com/resources/bl...

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

Yes, the way out is #PostGrowth. There are enough resources on this planet for everyone to have a decent life, to look after climate and nature, if we share them out fairly #GreenThinking #ChangeEverything www.theguardian.com/environment/...

It’s the same as Johnson, isn’t it: if the secret ingredients of your success are “lying like fuck to the public” and “relying upon the unlimited indulgence of the press to repeat your lies and horseshit”, and it all explodes if the second part is removed: to what extent are you good at politics?

ICYMI 🟧 Starmer and The Sun: An Appointment that Shows Everything that Is Wrong with Power and the Press in Britain The PM signalled the direction of his Government by appointing a former Editor of The Sun – who has a criminal conviction under the Sexual Offences Act – as a communications advisor

Appalling! Hundreds of thousands of children could now grow up without secure status, limiting their ability to plan for the future, the IPPR said. Delayed settlement could restrict access to higher education, student finance and stable employment opportunities later in life.

It’s not easy being PM in challenging geopolitical times, under 24 hr watch. But, that’s why mere tinkering, piecemeal reforms, or catchy slogan initiatives aren’t the answer. We need more profound, HONEST, review of our constitutional setup, national security posture, international relations. 🧵

Starmer needs to acknowledge he didn’t win a huge mandate — the Tories collapsed, so Labour strolled in. Corbyn actually lost with more votes. What did McSweeney do next? Advise Labour into the lowest poll ratings in its history. So spare us the tears over McSweeney’s resignation. 👇🙄

I don't see who replaces Starmer. And that's one big reason why I suspect he'll survive for the moment. No obvious candidate.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century. He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

Government has failed to provide an unambiguous answer to a request for a statutory public inquiry into Harrods and Mohamed Al Fayed.

Epstein emailed himself the photo, possibly after a dinner with tech moguls.

#GMO in a nutshell. "Since start in 2016 with genetically engineered soybeans & cotton, dicamba one of the most widely used applied herbicides. Dicamba-tolerant seeds were developed in response to growing resistance to glyphosate" www.nytimes.com/2026/02/06/c...

Harrods is our own Epstein scandal. This govt has blocked justice. And the survivors are furious.

😡 Four former defence insiders hired by Palantir in a single year. A £240m MoD contract awarded without competition. A “strategic partnership” announced soon after. The revolving door between defence and big tech is spinning fast.

A senior MoD official helps shape defence strategy, then joins Palantir. Months later, Palantir lands a £240m MoD contract without tender. No laws broken – just the revolving door doing what it does best.

🚨 "Nigel Farage cares even less about your local high street than he does about his Clacton constituency, which is a very low bar. Exploiting frustration is easier than fixing its causes. It is also a disturbingly reliable way to make things worse," writes Naomi Smith, CEO of Best for Britain.
