Fuelled by blatant lies about immigrants and “national sovereignty,” 10 years ago today the UK committed national political suicide as the whole world watched. Six (soon to be seven) Prime Ministers and a steadily weakening economy later, it’s Brexit that’s tearing the country apart.

59% turnout is high for a by-election, but it still means that, in one of the most high-profile & consequential by-elections ever, more than 4 in 10 voters couldn't be bothered to do their democratic duty. Chartists, reformers and suffragists would be giving us some pretty hard looks right now.

Welcome to the party. If it does anything, I hope it shows the American people that there is a great big world outside of America full of amazing cultures and amazing people. Foreigners are nothing to be afraid of, the vast majority of people are decent, good people.

Several families have, in the face of immense personal tragedy, plead in public for their family members to not be the next Horst Wessel justifying fascist mobs committing race riots. Imagine how much moral courage it takes in a time of private grief to extend that care and love to others

This is the one area that you're allowed to say we need infinite spending and nobody will ever say the budgets must balance or the bond markets will revolt. I wonder why that is?

Justin Webb now stating as fact that in Northern Ireland - and across the U.K. - for years people ‘have been able to come here and get access to services’ that local people can’t Is there any evidence for this? Why is a presenter on the BBC stating this as fact?

The absolute absence of political leadership against the far right in Britain is genuinely shocking, and will make things worse The only politician I heard really speaking out - and leading - in last 24 hours was independent councillor in Belfast

Dear BBC journalists, you really do not have to 'debate' every far-right talking point that pops up on your X feed. It is not "deeply contentious" to suggest non-white people can't be English. It's racist. The word you're looking for is racist

ultimately nothing changes unless broadcast executives think that Matt Goodwin openly race-baiting on their channels is *actually a problem*. at the moment some of them, including BBC management, practically have it as a KPI.

NEW | On the ghouls in the exploitation business… TRADING DOG WHISTLES FOR KLAXONS Right-wing columnists and politicians are exploiting the murder of Henry Nowak, turning him into a symbol to serve their grim ambitions. brokenbottleboy.substack.com/p/trading-do...

Who, I wonder, is too racist for the BBC now? This is the language of the NF and the BNP, neither of which were invited on to the sofa to chat politics. Racism spreads when institutions legitimise it

NEW | On this week’s biggest horror reboot: TRAPPED INSIDE THE BLAIR RICH PROJECT The media coverage of Tony Blair's essay on what the UK government should do treats him as a statesman rather than the salesman he really is... brokenbottleboy.substack.com/p/trapped-in...

Young people have been betrayed. The promise that doing well in school and university would, in and of itself, open doors to a career has been shown to be a lie. This government will not address this crisis, as they still believe that neoliberalism is the solution. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This country has heard enough from Tony Blair.

Half-expect to be told next the £5m was for a secure ballroom in Clacton.

The biggest majority in the modern era, and terrified of your own shadow for two years. It beggars belief. I've never known any govt. to have less to lose, and never known a greater need for political honesty than now. But, hey, best stay cautious. You don't want to become unpopular do you?

A Reform government is not inevitable. But more of the same will only make it more likely. Great to speak to the brilliant @trillingual.bsky.social about the rise of the British radical right - and what comes next, for Reform, Farage and all of us democracyforsale.substack.com/p/a-reform-g...

'Their real crime is to challenge power'

Reporting that includes the two Jewish men that the Golders Green attacker is charged with attempting to murder but does not include the Muslim man he is *also* charged with attempting to murder is wildly inaccurate and distorts the story hugely. Sky News and the BBC have both done that.

“A few days of joviality will hardly guarantee Trump’s erratic affections for long, as Starmer found out the hard way. What will last far longer is the sense of complicity: the indefensible has yet again been legitimised.” My col. on the royal White House trip. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The key issue is whether Starmer misled Parliament. If he did, he has to go: parliamentary democracy cannot function unless we uphold that norm. We'd demand it of Johnson & we should demand it of Starmer. Future PMs (including a possible Prime Minister Farage) must know that this is inviolable. 1/

It’s genuinely staggering how little substance there is to today’s instalment of the BBC’s attempt to create a national crisis out of a few unproven allegations of immigration fraud 1/

Opposing the promotion of fear and hate is our political task now. It is, I suggest, the only way in which we can cling to our sanity. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2026/04...

Trump is threatening genocide and King Charles is still planning a state visit to see him. Why, oh why, oh why? Has he really got such low self worth that he won’t tell Starmer where to get off? It’s time to refuse to obey orders.

There have to be consequences. Severe consequences. We can’t continue to live in a society where people can endorse or engage in criminality, indecency, cruelty, and bigotry with no consequence. It’s as if the seeming weightlessness of words online has somehow migrated to the real world.

As the police find no evidence whatsoever of illegal family voting or voter coercion in the Gorton and Denton by-election, the BBC should ask themselves why, on the morning of the result, they gave so much airtime to these absurd and obviously racist claims from Nigel Farage

NEW Will Google's AI hype man kill the BBC? Matt Brittin spent two decades at Google, a tech company helping to destroy journalism. His appointment as leader of Britain’s biggest news organisation represents an existential threat says @carolecadwalla.bsky.social www.thenerve.news/p/matt-britt...

They’re not good people if they’re not willing to stand up for us. That’s the whole point of you being there. Sorry, but I wholeheartedly disagree.

Jon Stewart isn't so sure Trump is actually talking to Iran's "top person"

It feels as though the far right & Reform are the loudest voices at the moment. This is our chance to show them they are a minority, that the great British public are a nation of inclusion & love, not hate & division. London 28th March 💗

Two days after Trump said there was no-one to talk to in Iran, he calls off strikes after talks with Iran "over the last two days".

Irish broadcasters have held him to account, in real time. If the BBC doesn't, it is because it chooses not to.

NEW | On the latest chapter of the same old story… THE NICK TIMOTHY TRAP It's the same strategy every time: Make a provocative (and racist) statement, trigger a 'debate', and push the discourse further to the far right. brokenbottleboy.substack.com/p/the-nick-t...

Since Ofcom seems to have given up, we asked 20 experienced journalists from a range of backgrounds to watch multiple hours of @gbnewsonline.bsky.social . Their conclusion: the channel has, in effect, become Reform TV. How did it happen? www.thenewworld.co.uk/alan-rusbrid...

Let's presume this ridiculous lie is true. It would only make his failure to prepare for it that much more inexcusable.

Two weeks into a war Donald Trump said he launched to ensure that Iran would “never have a nuclear weapon”, the US has no plan to retrieve the enriched uranium stockpile Tehran would need to make an atomic bomb. www.ft.com/content/4069...

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled. A truly extraordinary moment. We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. Act like it.

How every Democrat has not reacted like this admirable Senator is beyond me, if you are not angry now, when?

Days after declaring total victory and boasting that no other military could match the US, Trump is now begging other countries — including China — to send warships to stop his Iran war from spiraling into catastrophe. A galactic humiliation.
