podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t... Fascinating interview with @nafeez.bsky.social Ahmed. Donald 'drill baby drill' may have brought about the premature implosion of our 'fossil fuel' world. The bad news? Hell in the sort term. But in the longer term we have steps we can take that are good for...

A US Defence Analyst’s Warning to Britain: ‘I Watched Our Democracy Die. You’re Next’ A US defence analyst argues that the United States has become a zombie democracy, locked into decline - and that Reform UK is now planning the same for Britain

🔴James Orr and the Messianic Transatlantic MAGA Alliance Trying to 'Save' Britain @peterjukes.bsky.social and @nafeez.bsky.social reveal how Nigel Farage’s new head of policy is the key ideological linkman for Palantir’s Peter Thiel and Sir Paul Marshall’s GB News bylinetimes.com/2026/04/07/j...

James Orr, Paul Marshall, Peter Thiel, Reform and MAGA - plus a lot of money - trying to impose their brand of right wing Christian nationalism on the UK. @nafeez.bsky.social @peterjukes.bsky.social dig out the background. Yes, Gove is in there. @humanists.uk bylinetimes.com/2026/04/07/j...

Controversial polling promoted by the Tony Blair Institute, and criticised by academics, helped make the case for ‘regime change’ in Tehran by @nafeez.bsky.social Ahmed @bylinetimes.bsky.social bylinetimes.com/2026/03/24/r...

Nigel Farage: "Frankly, this is exactly the kind of establishment whitewash people are sick to death of. This isn’t good enough. We need proper oversight, real accountability, and the courage to admit when something isn’t right. Not another brushed-under-the-carpet report from the usual suspects."

From my limited interactions with Democracy Volunteers, it did feel as if they had observed some instances of worrying behaviour, but also that their report into the by-election - and the response to the report - was overblown.

GMP say they spoke to Democracy Volunteers, who said they observed 32 instances of either more than one voter going into a booth at the same time, or people looking over the shoulder of voters. But there was no evidence of direction or coercion, which is key under the law.

Greater Manchester Police statement: "We’ve concluded our investigation into alleged ‘family voting’ at last month’s Gorton and Denton by-election, finding no evidence of any intent to influence or refrain any person from voting."

Hey @lewisgoodall.com just watched a clip of your interview with Pat McFadden. Why were you pushing oil lobby lies and propaganda? If it was unintentional then here is an article explaining why drilling for more gas and oil will not solve our energy needs & costs. The tax rake you referenced is 🙄

If only there was some kind of massive, almost infinitely powerful nuclear fireball in the sky that we could use to obtain energy immediately, instead of waiting millions of years for organic decay then using that decayed material to poison everyone.

This is an excellent article. Highly recommended. 👇

"If the risks it outlined are accurate, then the war with Iran will achieve the precise opposite of what it was designed to do: not the consolidation of American power, but its accelerated decline." Dr. Nafeez Ahmed @nafeez.bsky.social bylinetimes.com/2026/03/10/t...

As I try to point out in my forthcoming piece for the print edition of Byline Times, Trump’s Christian Zionists are actually deeply antisemitic. They want Jews to provoke the Second Coming by fighting Muslims, and then they will be damned in the ‘rapture’ if they don’t convert @nafeez.bsky.social

I always find the work of @nafeez.bsky.social worth a read to step back and look at the wider picture of what's going on.

🚨 A senior WH official has confirmed that US aims to seize control of Iran’s oil reserves – third largest in the world – at the precise moment America's own shale production is entering irreversible terminal decline. @nafeez.bsky.social @bylinetimes.bsky.social ➡️ bylinetimes.com/2026/03/10/t...

"Last year Trump told the world, 'we have obliterated Iran's nuclear capabilities.' "So why are we having a war, a year on, to obliterate Iran's nuclear capabilities?" #IranWar @nafeez.bsky.social @bylinetimes.bsky.social @goldbergradio.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/6w8V...

We are at a turning point in which "the question is whether states respond to disruption by doubling down on extraction, militarisation, and emergency centralisation - or whether they use the shock to accelerate the next life-cycle through new production systems and new forms of governance."

This is a fascinating read and well worth your time 👇🏻

"Before Rome fell, it expanded... It was the overreach that killed it. Every new province required a garrison. Every garrison required supply lines..." What just might be happening as the #USA under #Trump struggles to retain Global Dominance. #Superpowers #GeographyTeacher #Empire #History

The devastation and chaos we are about to experience will be the final undoing of the fossil fuel empire.

Make no mistake. This is a war aimed at redrawing the map of the Middle East. It will not end cleanly. It will spark civil war, result in prolonged regional destabilisation and drive the rise of new extremist movements.

The funding gap between Reform UK and the Greens is astounding. New Electoral Commission stats today reveal the reportable donations in Q4 2025: 🟢 Green Party: £189,010 🟣 Reform UK: £5,456,000 Greens are bringing in barely 3.5% of Reform UK's large donations - but still polling around 20%.

🔴 Reform Attacks Byline Times For 'Attempting to Derail a Democratic Election' – Before Blaming "Family Voting" and "Muslim Sectarianism" for Gorton and Denton Defeat After DOGE and ICE, Nigel Farage's party now appears to be copying the Trumpian tactics of alleging vote-rigging in elections

🔴 Naz Shah MP on Gorton & Denton Claims: 'How Do Supposedly Sectarian Muslims End Up Voting for a Radically Progressive Party with a Gay Jewish Leader?' The MP for Bradford West told Byline Times: "I know what clan-based politics looks like, I have a history of fighting it, this isn't what this is"

Gorton and Denton was 127th on the list of Green Party target seats. To win by such a margin there suggests there is much bigger potential for Green gains in May's local elections than most people expect bylinetimes.com/2026/02/27/h...

Reform, which spent its by-election campaign warning about the UK's "Christian heritage" being under threat, while proposing a ban on visas from predominantly Muslim countries, now accuses their opponents of engaging in "sectarian politics"

Our party has just come third in Gorton and Denton, a previously safe Labour seat - an area where we haven't lost an election since 1931. It is those running our party who are to blame. We need change at the top and serious lessons need to be learnt:
