Today the former head of Reform in Wales, Nathan Gill, will be sentenced for taking bribes from Russia. Needless to say, I hardly knew him, let alone the wife of the Russian he paid bribes to.

Reform UK energy plans crumble under scrutiny Reform UK rails against net zero, but the evidence shows green jobs and growth are already powering the UK economy By Brian McHugh

"Anyone familiar with The Telegraph’s long track record of misleading climate coverage may have questions about their new-found enthusiasm for rigorous and accurate reporting..." www.desmog.com/2025/11/10/t...

🎯 Davey is spot on. "We can have criticism of the BBC, but within that, we need to recognise how valuable an institution it is [and how] precious to our country. And that's one of the reasons why people like President Trump and Nigel Farage, want to undermine the BBC." 👏🏽~AA

What you’re witnessing is a populist assault on the BBC. This is not an institutional scandal in any meaningful sense of the word. It is an attack on public service broadcasting. iandunt.substack.com/p/extra-edit...

A magnificent piece of work. Comprehesive, revelatory & shocking. Journalism this good is always rare & precious but never moreso than at times like this.

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design. news.sky.com/story/the-x-...

Very poor headlineby Guardian, making it seem she was guilty of something. What she actually did, was try to maintain a last shred of respect for human rights in Israel. More evidence of grotesque abuse of Palestinians. Israel long ago lost its legitimacy. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

“In Israel, Leaking Evidence of Rape Is a Bigger Scandal Than Raping a Palestinian” According to Israel and its supporters, the scandal is not the vile sexual assault depicted in a leaked video last year – it’s that someone released the tape, writes Minnah Arshad for Zeteo:

Immigration, indecency, and incompetence. New post on my Brexit & Brexitism Blog. The ever-more indecent terms of the immigration 'debate' are another failure of Brexit, which links to the ever-more obvious incompetence of Reform in local government: chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2025/10/immi...

Superb piece by @jamesbloodworth.bsky.social in this month's @bylinetimes.bsky.social mag: "Britain's Media Has Let Nigel Farage Reshape Political Journalism - Why?" This article alone was worth my annual sub to one of the very few news outlets still doing proper journalism

Despite widespread media predictions of a Reform victory on Thursday, Farage's defeat shows his party continues to be overestimated, argues Adam Bienkov

So a virtually brand new news site can cover this story, which is of national importance, but the BBC and our msm remain silent?They’re not just silent they’re now complicit in a cover up of a foreign intelligence agency penetrating a UK political party. This needs to be spread widely.

🔴Keir Starmer’s ‘Brexit Is Bad, Let’s Make It a Bit Worse’ Strategy The Chancellor just admitted that Brexit has been an economic disaster. It’s time the Government stopped making it even worse by imitating Nigel Farage’s damaging anti-migration agenda, argues @adambienkov.bsky.social

Wild honeybees have been officially listed as endangered in the EU – the first time their decline has been formally recognised. Dr Arrigo Moro tells us why their survival matters for biodiversity, agriculture, and food security. ⤵️

Keir Starmer could change this, but he’d rather gamble on winner take all even if that winner is Farage

This deserves more attention than it has received. Gove: "we were too anxious as a government to secure those deals in order to show that Brexit was working". Exactly as so many of us warned at the time, and as the government denied at the time. www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/country-and-...

"No 10 vetoed the publication of the report at the last minute over fears that it was too negative... and would beg too many questions about what the UK was doing to avert the severe impacts of ecosystems failing." Absolutely incredible stuff here. Incredible but stupid.

This really needs to be said and understood. What makes it worse, if possible, is that it is not coming out of any genuine crisis or emergency. It is a deliberate attempt to whip up anger and grievance in order to capitalise upon it & in Jenrick's case purely to advance his leadership ambitions.

Here is a thing that I hear from *almost every British Jew I know* but have barely heard expressed in any of these programmes: No single person has done more to make Jewish people globally less safe than Benjamin Netanyahu.

Has Labour woken up? New post on my Brexit & Brexitism Blog analysing how Starmer’s Labour seems to be taking a firmer line with Reform and Brexitism, rattling Farage, but many ambiguities and contradictions remain: chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2025/10/has-...

Elon Musk: “I love Javier Milei.” Kemi Badenoch: “Javier Milei is the template.” Donald Trump: “My favourite president.” Nigel Farage: "Amazing. Cutting and slashing … doing all the things he’s done … that’s leadership.” Meanwhile... in Argentina www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This is great. It naturally follows that Musk can only get out of our politics if politicians and political journalists stop using the social media site he controls.

These are some of the most extreme restrictions on immigration in years. We're told to see them as benign because they're less bad than Farage's far-right extremism. But they are still terrible.

How is this not front page news? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

For the Guardian, @turnbulldugarte.com and I discuss our research that clearly shows one thing: Labour's anti-immigration strategy will only strengthen Reform and weaken its own electoral prospects. It won't win voters back but ultimately normalizes the far right www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
