As Labour proposes limiting the protection of the ECHR, we must remember what it was set up to do; protect us all from abuses of power by our govts. Be v wary then of anyone calling to do that. You may not be the target now. But why shouldn’t you be next? bestforbritain.substack.com/p/why-we-and...

While promising to control our borders, didn’t Akehurst admit to working for a foreign government?

45% of British voters are strongly opposed to Reform, and 33% favourable to Reform. 71% of 2025 Labour voters are strongly opposed to Reform. And immigration has fallen 50% in a year. What possible reason is there for this mess?

Just to clarify, the scandal of the misread Trump “blowing Bubba” Epstein email is that Jeffrey’s brother thought that Bannon had access/understanding of Putin. And why ever not?

I wanted to crow about this video for Tik Tok because I made it entirely without AI. Nobody is the least impressed with videos these days because most are generated by AI.

I have long supported the expansion of pay as you go with contactless across London and the South East, so it’s great to see that Stansted airport will be ready for Pay As You Go by the end of this year.

The thing I don’t understand AT ALL about Labour‘s new immigration is the fact that IF I had to live under the threat of being sent away again, whether in 1yr, 5yrs or 10yrs etc … …I surely would find it extra hard to integrate into British life and my local community. The whole concept is awful!

What is it about the Home Office which inculcates in Home Secretaries (going back to Blunkett and May) this performative cruelty? And where is any evidence it works? Other than amping up xenophobia does borrowing Trump’s ICE rhetoric actually it have any deterrence effect?

NEW: Peter Thiel has blinked. Yesterday, I posted an article about the "Great AI Bubble". And today, we find out that he's bailed on the market. Has he cut & run? Or is this some 3-D chess-type voodoo? Thoughts please. open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

Getting ready for my show in Portsmouth - lurgified but armed to the teeth with tea, pastilles, throat spray… wish me luck!

One of the most shameful incidents of WW2 was when the government and press scapegoated refugees, then decided to pack them off an a cramped ship, The HMT DUNERA and ship them to Australia. As they boarded the boat they were stripped of the valuables and robbed by the guards. Now government policy

London is a place where people of every creed, colour and culture live together in peace and mutual respect. A city where a council estate kid with immigrant parents can become Mayor. That’s the reason some don’t want our modern, multicultural, progressive metropolis to succeed.

Will the government do a U turn on their plans to take jewellery off asylum seekers? Or will they find it difficult to re-broach the subject?

The far left is actually the same good old-fashioned left it's ever been. But because the right and the far right consider centrists the left (something they themselves proudly lay claim to) every proper socialist has been pushed to the far left 😑

Derbyshire is the “spiritual heartland” of Reform UK Ltd but is its climate change policy putting the people of Derbyshire at risk? | Cliff Mitchell

What’s up, I hear you ask? Well, I’ve got 99 problems and the patriarchy is pretty much responsible for all of them… And immigrants are not responsible for any of them!

I feel like Labour have let me down so badly that even once they're out of power... and some of them continue to campaign from the sidelines... i'm not going to forget this. I'll see Blue Labour types like Shabana Mahmood and Morgan Mcsweeney as the Riyadh Comedy Festival acts of UK politics.

We're getting there! We do what we do on a shoestring - and it's enough to stake a flag in the ground alongside the billionaire-owned press. But we're also growing this new model with your help. Everything that you chip in now is part of that development. Thank you --> chuffed.org/project/byli...

If I was devising a set of announcements to elevate (but not satisfy) the hard right, alienate the middle ground and completely discourage your base, I couldn’t come up with a much better strategy than McSweeney and Number 10

This is a MUST READ article by the legendary @carolecadwalla.bsky.social explaining why this tech bubble too will inevitably burst, sooner or later. Miss it at your own peril😉

I feel sick reading Labour’s asylum policy. They’re setting fire to their base and the scum they’re pandering to despise them regardless. It’s simple. Process and let asylum seekers work and pay tax. It’s indefensible despicable shit. I’m fucking disgusted by them.

I see that Mahmood, McSweeney and Glasman (who admires Steve Bannon) are continuing to merry go round of cruelty depicted on our current front page

What the fuck is wrong with them?! Seriously.

It is 90 years since George Orwell travelled to the north of England to learn about the living conditions of the northern working-class, during the long Depression of the 1930s. Today’s figures show not much has changed.

Shout it loud

Suella Mahmood warns of 'dark forces.' “The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.” - George Orwell, Animal Farm www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

Labour's insistence on formulating policy by mindlessly aping what they think public opinion might be, is as pathetic as Taylor Swift's new album is mildly disappointing.

Labour concocts more ugly measures to punish asylum seekers and the right immediately demands worse… howling to leave the ECHR. This scapegoating of migrants must stop. It is failure - morally and practically. “Either we all have human rights or none of us do.” app.independent.co.uk/edition/uk.c...

It appears that our Home Secretary, Shabana Mahmood, has been inspired by Kirsti Noem - and finds her to have an “under appreciated intellect and eye for detail” and is now following her lead. Isn’t that just utterly horrifying. Of all Starmer’s picks for cabinet, she has to be the worst.
