Quelle surprise... Steve Bannon was secretly collaborating with convicted sex offender Epstein to build the MAGA movement I vaguely remember the same people telling us the Democrats were part of global cabal of child molesters

Excited to be writing for the brilliant @bylinetimes.bsky.social - this month’s column covers a new book from @rory-stewart.bsky.social celebrating people & place in Cumbria, a new film #PowerStation about the power of community energy, & Keir Starmer’s weird obsession with flags

This is EXCELLENT. A real lift-the-rock-and-reveal-the-creepy-crawlies moment.

"Over this period, Epstein arranged access to world leaders for Bannon, proposing opaque crypto-based funding structures, drafting contact lists for the MAGA architect, and even offering the President of the UN General Assembly to guide Bannon’s “EU project.”

Now we know how threatened the predators and misogynists were by MeToo and women speaking the truth, and how organized the push back against a century of gains for women’s rights.

“This coalition staves off Time’s Up for next decade plus.” That’s what Steve Bannon told Jeffrey Epstein as they discussed MAGA strategy, crypto funding, midterm propaganda films and breaking into Europe END bylinetimes.com/2025/11/14/s...

🚨 NEW Steve Bannon Offered Trump’s MAGA as a Shield for Jeffrey Epstein Epstein helped shape Trump’s MAGA movement through a secret alliance with its chief architect, Bannon, who offered to help him “stave off" the #MeToo movement in return for support bylinetimes.com/2025/11/14/s...

Read my latest deep dive into the newly released Epstein emails. Guess who was helping Steve Bannon to expand Trump's MAGA: convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The pay off? A MAGA movement that would shield the likes of Epstein from scrutiny.

Steve Bannon wasn’t exposing Epstein. He was working with him. Emails show Bannon giving Epstein MAGA strategy, planning financing routes, and helping him push back the #MeToo/#TimesUp movement /2 bylinetimes.com/2025/11/14/s...

NEW: Jeffrey Epstein said in emails that he had been advising the Russian government on how to deal with Donald Trump, one of several cases in which he wielded his connections to try to influence the course of foreign affairs. w @nahaltoosi www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

On the facts: the Jan 6 Committee found Trump the “central cause” of the insurrection; aides’ testimony backs it. Panorama’s substance aligned; the cut removing his lone “peacefully” was an editorial error, not defamation. 11/12 www.congress.gov/117/chrg/CHR...

UK Lawyers for Israel, another source, openly advocates for Israel; its conduct is under SRA examination — hardly neutral arbiters of BBC impartiality. 9/12 www.lawgazette.co.uk/news/law-cen...

“History Reclaimed,” cited as objective, is stacked with Conservative-aligned figures (e.g., Tombs, Abulafia; advisers Biggar, Gebreyohanes) and culture-war voices used to indict BBC “bias.” 8/12 bylinetimes.com/2024/07/17/t...

But Prescott’s memo wasn’t an internal BBC document — it was unsolicited. And its “neutral” proof relies on partisan, Trump-aligned sources. Full analysis in Part Two: bylinetimes.com/2025/11/11/p... 7/12

In part 2 of my @bylinetimes.bsky.social investigation, I reveal how the 'BBC bias' memo - written by a Trump-aligned lobbyist whose firm was paid up to a million by pro-Trump donor tech giants - was politically biased and reliant on pro-Trump partisan sources bylinetimes.com/2025/11/11/p...

EXCLUSIVE: My @bylinetimes.bsky.social investigation reveals: 'memo' which sparked President Donald Trump to threaten a $1bn lawsuit against BBC was written by lobbyist at firm paid by pro-Trump tech giants and Trump donors bylinetimes.com/2025/11/11/b...

🧵On our revelations today about the BBC Coup and the Prescott Dossier. The leaked ‘BBC Bias’ memo Trump used to attack the BBC was authored by Michael Prescott — a Hanover lobbyist paid by US tech/media giants tied to Trump. Full story: bylinetimes.com/2025/11/11/b... 1/12

It was apparent from the start that the BBC resignations were due to an attack from the right, however it wasn’t clear just how deep it went. This reporting is critical for the future of journalism in the UK, and for our democracy.

Can’t be reposted enough

Thank you for this article, Dr Nafeez Ahmed. I think it's an excellent piece of investigative journalism and its content *should* be widely reported in the press and media. Whether that occurs is another question. This is far closer to the real story than anything else I've seen reported so far.

‼️The Pro-Trump Bias of the 'Neutral' Sources in the Leaked BBC 'Prescott Dossier' @nafeez.bsky.social’s analysis of key sources in the memo about the BBC’s alleged ‘progressive bias’ shows it relied on highly partisan right-wing, Trump-aligned organisations bylinetimes.com/2025/11/11/p...

An absolutely stellar read, engrossing. Kudos @nafeez.bsky.social.

Americans can fight back against Republican election engineering efforts.

Trump-boosting Tory peer Ross Kempsell really is the Lord for Mar-a-Lago isn't he? "What assessment have [Govt] made of the risk of extreme left-wing terrorism in the UK, including Antifa and related groups?" Govt: "[Left-wing terrorism] is not currently present in the UK at any significant scale"

Richard Lynn was criticised for using a sample of children with intellectual impairment to calculate the "national IQ" of Equatorial Guinea in 2002. In 2019, he calculated the IQs of Native Americans from children referred for psychoeducational evaluations, including those with learning difficulties

A huge chunk of the public health and justice advances of the last century have been achieved simply via measuring and communicating information. Authoritarian regimes can rapidly reverse these advances.

As Reform UK pledges to scrap Britain’s net zero targets and “unlock” new oil and gas drilling, its policies mirror the fossil fuel revival now unfolding under Trump’s 2nd-term agenda – an agenda financed by the same tech billionaires linked to Reform's treasurer and largest donor, using offshore ££
