So, Sunday Times runs with latest poll showing Farage winning if there was an election now. But makes NO mention of Reform’s collusion with Russia. And this is how democracy gets beaten to death in the dark. Voters are not being told the truth. Reform is given the stage but is NEVER held to account.

That’s Genspect - one of 8 anti-trans hate groups getting to give their input into the UK puberty blockers ban. When will the government and decision-makers in this country stop giving credence and legitimacy to non-experts who *just don’t want trans people to exist*? bsky.app/profile/fier...

If there's someone doing work out there on the fringes that matters to you, please let them know, because this world is going to tell them the opposite every day.

In addition to the Parliamentary petition now hurtling towards 2 million signatures, the Lib Dems have also launched a petition as part of their declared opposition to #DigitalID A massive, expensive, unwarranted project by Labour. www.libdems.org.uk/nodigitalid

Sky News and the BBC repeatedly mention the "migrant crisis" in doing so they are normalising and legitimising far right talking points. There is no "migrant crisis", there is only migrant hysteria, which the British media is feeding into instead of countering.

Of course we will see this plastered all over the media for *days*, relentlessly focussed on how outrageous it is for a Reform politician to be in the pocket of the Russians? No, thought not… Meanwhile, Putin chuckles at how easily his project to destabilise the UK, EU and US has borne fruit.

As Reform's Nathan Gill admits taking bribes from Russian 'secret service pawn' Oleg Voloshyn, here’s a nice photo of Nigel Farage with Voloshyn’s wife.

this is an extraordinary canary in the coal mine

Like this? www.theguardian.com/world/2019/o...

Journalists should be combing through statements made at the European Parliament by Nathan Gill's boss at the time, Nigel Farage, to see if he, too, might have been "bought" by the Kremlin to burnish Putin's credentials and push Russia's interests. Who else from the Brexit Party might have succumbed

Nathan Gill, Reform's leader in Wales at the last Welsh parliament election, has pled guilty to 8 bribery charges, taking Russian cash while he was one of Nigel Farage’s MEPs to speak in favour of Putin's Russia in that parliament www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

And when the likely provider of that database is Palantir, you need your head read if you can’t see the risk. #IDcards #BritCard

Refreshing. And with a lot of potential to cause deep concern to Labour folk.

I am about to start my lengthy article, 37 million people who would be better at advising Keir Starmer than Morgan McSweeney (i know the figure is much larger than that, but these are the first 37 million people I could think of off the top of my head )

A divide in journalism right now that's worth watching is between reporters who understand how bad things are but are mindful of their reputation and not wanting to be perceived as too extreme or hyperbolic and reporters who feel things are so urgent they have to use urgent, clear language.

Can’t remember watching petition numbers rocket so fast in real time… #IDcards #BritCard

Here's a link to Labour's 2024 manifesto. It doesn't appear to mention rolling out a national ID scheme (which I think we can agree is a MASSIVE project). Yet Starmer's doing it anyway. If that's acceptable, why aren't introducing PR, or rejoining the SM, CU or EU? labour.org.uk/wp-content/u...

Reposting in light of Starmer announcing mandatory #IDCards. Govt has already given Sex Matters - the anti-trans hate group - completely unwarranted & undemocratic influence over statistical/data matters. I’d bet my mortgage that it’s already agreed the #BritCard 🤮 will require ‘biological sex’.

The same guy telling women to "tough it out" can't stop whining because he had to walk up one flight of stairs because the escalator stopped.

UK: pls can we have a crumb of affordable homes and non-cost-of-living-crisis Starmer: so you're saying you want *spins wheel* ID cards

‘Trump’s America. Don’t let it become Farage’s Britain’ Not a bad slogan Although it suits Farage to claim otherwise, #EdDavey *did* tell the country what he was for: 1. Democracy 2. Liberty 3. Human Rights 4. Rule of Law 5. New EU Customs Union 6. Halve Energy Bills 7. Gun control 8. Fix NHS …

Daily Mirror on Trump’s UN speech "Deranged" #tomorrowspaperstoday

For anyone who needs to hear this, by virtue of being a “human being” with “empathy” and a concern for “the dignity of others,” well, I regret to inform you that you are and always have been a part of antifa.

So determined to eradicate autism - **which doesn’t need to be eliminated or cured** - that they seek to remove the most basic, safest, cheapest form of *pain relief* from pregnant women. Not only is this latest directive anti-science, it’s also anti-women. #Paracetamol #Acetaminophen #Tylenol

Yet the BBC and Sky will barely report on the Lib Dem's conference. A party of over 70 MPs is ignored over a party of 5 MPs who get an hour of live news cycle to spout racist shite.

Believe trans people when we tell you the 'science' behind the Cass Report is as solid as the 'science' behind paracetamol causing autism.

I still can't quite believe that the very first attacks from Labour on Farage's bonkers idea to kick millions of people with INDEFINITE right to remain out of the UK were to argue that it's infeasible and wouldn't save anything like the amount he claimed. How about: - It's WRONG - It's IMMORAL ?

This ought to be engraved somewhere.

What on Earth is this? An "in depth" BBC article about free speech in the UK that only cites examples of right-wing/ 'anti-woke' speech being suppressed. How can you mention Lucy Connolly but completely ignore Palestine Action / Just Stop Oil? Gob-smacking. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I think fundamentally, the ability to care about the rights of a small and vulnerable minority (of whom you might know no members) is an important sign of whether you are committed to human rights out of principle, or out of mere convenience.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

If you think there's a giant conspiracy amongst the UK government, the media, and a small group of extremely well-funded genitally-obsessed bigots to harass and dehumanize trans people, that's because there is.

The media - no, we're not going to report on serious Lib Dem policies The media - yes, we will report on fun stunts The media, also - the Lib Dems need to show they've got serious policies

As Nazis demonized and vilified Jews as the source of all evil, so Trump is doing the same to transgender men and women.

On X I used data to show London does not have the highest crime rate in the world. 10 mins later a right winger linked to my book. 10 mins after that I got 40 1-star reviews from unverified accounts (previously 4.9 star avg). Fair play to Amazon - they removed them all. But that's how it works.

Dear American citizens, whatever you wish more German citizens would have done in 1933, do that now.

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

so many dead canaries and we just keep on mining

Insight into the extreme anti-trans rhetoric taking hold in the US. Politicians, RW influencers & media in consort, amplifying & normalising pure hate; radicalising opinion against trans people. Institutions now captured or capitulating. This is where the UK is headed. I fear for my trans siblings.

“I can't believe what you say, because I see what you do" James Baldwin

Hold on, these are the "we don't have to bake your gay wedding cake" people?

By allowing the right to conflate criticizing Charlie Kirk with celebrating his murder, our elite media is inflaming the situation enormously.

You can't use the right's own words to tarnish them but they can just make up whatever they want and the media will spread it far and wide. Until this is fixed, nothing else will be.

“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind

Why in this Mandelson saga are we ignoring the elephant in the room? That we’re about to welcome and honour a man who was a great pal of Epstein and who continues to lie about that every day?

I know everyone is consumed with other news, but this is a big fucking deal: The Trump administration says that IUDs and the Pill are actually abortions. Here's what USAID told the NYT about the $10m in birth control they plan to destroy. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/h...
