"Writing for Chatham House in 2011, Matthew Goodwin asked, 'What drives some citizens to abandon the mainstream in favour of populist extremists?' Since then, he has gone on to answer the question himself."

‘From Analyst to Advocate: The Polarising Journey of Matthew Goodwin’ by Robert Miller "Critics accuse him of being an advocate for populism's more extreme tendencies, with many questioning the objectivity of his work in that field." jeffrey-side.blogspot.com/2026/01/from...

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump. Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

Apparently, the Second Amendment in the USA, was intended for a situation such as that in Minnesota, where the federal government is tyranising the populace.

Reform’s London mayoral hopeful co-owns ‘unsafe squat hotel plagued by bed bugs’. Laila Cunningham – who owns a £3.9million flat – has shares in firm behind £50-a-night New Dawn Hotel, which has attracted negative online reviews, the Mirror can reveal. www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...

Hidden knives, amateur poetry and failed start-ups. I investigated Laila Cunningham, the rising star of Reform who Nigel Farage thinks will win London for her party. Turns out she has a pretty weird past. Read my @londonermag.bsky.social write-up: www.the-londoner.co.uk/laila-cunnin...

Reform UK's Laila Cunningham, who wants a British version of ICE, has parents who are Egyptian immigrants.

No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.

Starmer is a coward.

130,000 Small and Medium-size Enterprises in the UK export products to the USA. Courtesy of Ben Leo at GB News, we now learn that they're all "globalists" and no doubt part of some Illuminati like conspiracy.

"US Correspondent" Ben Leo here, with one of the most blatantly pro-Trump, anti-British, anti-European, anti-Canadian pieces we've ever heard. Lots of the Farridgy tropes are here: Chagos, "two-tier Keir", "Big Bad Globalism", "commies will commie", lockdowns were Chinese, Tяump "saving the West 🤔⬇️

The EU Anti-Coercion Instrument (ACI) was designed for exactly that kind of scenario Trump is using: a third country using economic pressure to force a political decision that has nothing to do with trade. If deployed, the US would suffer considerable financial damage.

'How Grokipedia’s Information on Trump Favours Trump by Alastair Leacock "Promotional language is also used, describing Trump as the architect of a “golden age”. Such framing encourages readers to see him as heroic rather than presenting events neutrally." jeffrey-side.blogspot.com/2026/01/how-...

Let's hope Ted's prophecy doesn't come to fruition 👀

This is how fascistic dictators work: you first get the ill-educated on your side, feed them misinformation to get them angry and feel aggrieved, and then say that voting for me will solve your grievances. This is how Hitler managed to get the majority of Germans to vote for him.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" is used by MAGA supporters as an insult to sane people. But it can also be directed back to MAGA, as they have a deranged idolatry of him.

Impeach Kristi Noem.

Reason 134 why privatisation of essential services should be abolished.

US justice department has released less than 1% of Epstein files, filing reveals www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

This is why Trump will rig the next election in some way, or declare an "emergency".

Patrick Christys on GB News agreed with a radio phone in caller who said African countries would benefit from the US colonising them.

Trump's actions have given permission for Argentina to take back the Falklands. And the UK only has around twenty soldiers.

The USA already has six thousand soldiers based in Greenland as a buffer against Russia and China. But that is not what Trump wants. He wants the oil and minerals, which he can't access without owing the land.

Far right GB News presenter and moron Martin Daubney says only socialists are critical of Trump's invasion of Venezuela.

My guess is that Trump will increase US troops at Greenland’s existing US bases, establish a permanent US "sleeping" garrison and then take control over Greenland’s territory at some stage.

Trump will take Greenland, Colombia, then Canada - in that order probably.

Startled, startled I tell you!

Very good summation of Thatcher's theft of far right racist doctrines and adapted them to appeal to the poor working class ill-educated in 1979.

We will never know *how much* this is attributable to Labour's decision to track not tackle Reform's rhetoric of hate on immigration. But that Labour *helped* render these views acceptable cannot, surely, be doubted.

Their median voter is a 40 year old woman, teacher, either in private rental or with a mortgage, who is concerned about the cost or living. Labour however would like their voter to be a 60 something, male, ex manual labour, home owner, voted brexit because he hates Pakistanis.
