NEW: Boris Johnson failed to declare to parliament a gift of private jet flights from the same cryptobillionaire, Christopher Harborne who gave £5m to Nigel Farage, leaked documents reveal. New #HarborneReceipts investigation from @thenerve.news. 🔗 below 1/

A thousand times this. The BBC would also benefit from not giving a shit what the Daily Mail has to say about anything.

So unwritten that of the five prime ministers to inherit a majority in “mid-term”, only one of them called an election before its due date. Why are some political journalists so uninterested in history?

At last, an economic policy we can all get behind – doubling the royal family’s funding | Marina Hyde

A common argument made in attempting to justify the Sovereign Grant is that the royals bring in millions of pounds in tourism. Be interesting to see if visitor numbers at Buckingham Palace decline following the announcement that it'll no longer be the official London residence of the monarch.

Dutch far-right politician who campaigned on "keeping women safe" found guilty of three rapes of underage children and child pornography offences.

Johnson, Hancock and Rees-Mogg kept repeating this lie. UK was still subject to EU rules on vaccines during the post-Brexit transition period. The UK was able to authorise the supply of this vaccine using provisions under European law.

Nigel Farage has taken part in just one vote out of the 98 that have been held in the House of Commons over the last three months. That's a participation rate of around one per cent

10 years after Brexit, Farage is richer... Are you? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn0vx2edk0vo

The part that stands out most, to me, is 'Britons don't want to give up sovereignty'. Even as a member of the EU, the UK had sovereignty. How have we benefited since Brexit? Even Jacob Rees-Mogg as Minister for Brexit Opportunities couldn't identify any tangible benefit.

Ahh yes JRM, the Minister for Brexit Opportunities. Remind me how that went.

The 'ten years' bit is a clue.

It is inescapable now that many politicians & most of our media judge the severity & seriousness of a crime differently according to the ethnicity of the perpetrator and/or victim. An utterly hideous state of affairs ushered in eagerly by Nigel Farage & Elon Musk. It is very easy to do better.

The attacks in Edinburgh, in which an armed bare-chested white man terrorised Muslims, leaving five people injured, don't feature on a single newspaper front page this morning. Two tier journalism

Four months after the horrific Iran school bombing, fears grow that Trump and Hegseth will bury the truth

The JCPOA was 160 pages, supported by many technical documents, took 10 years of discussion with 20 months of final detailed negotiations. Trump's MOU is one and a half pages and allows 60 days for final negotiation.

So, many 'leave' voting areas were deprived but had relatively low immigration. Those areas are now even more deprived and have higher immigration. Not exactly the outcome 'leave' voters were led to expect.

It'll gain much more prominent coverage as soon as Farage and Robinson begin highlighting the story. Should be anytime now.....

The joy today is that hatred lost. Doesn't matter what you think of Burnham. Farage tried to invite a race riot. He dealt in explicitly racial rhetoric. If he'd won, many journalists would have considered it a vindication of his approach and branded our outrage evidence of how out of touch we are.

Tactical voting by Reform voters? So their cunning plan was to ensure they elect a popular Labour figure so that he can challenge and replace an unpopular PM. A stroke of genius.

Reform have now lost six by-elections in a row in England, Scotland and Wales. Their national poll rating is 26% – below Labour in 1983 – and Farage’s approval rating is -37. They’re very far from the voice of the people and need to stop being treated as such.

From right wing political parties to right wing 'think tanks', it's all about the funding. The phrase "follow the money" has seldom been more appropriate.

"It is quite incredible that the author (Farage) of a genuinely historic change that has made tens of millions of people poorer, and made the country weaker, has been able not merely to survive, but to prosper," writes Alastair Campbell.

JD Vance flat out lies to Ross Douthat by claiming that Trump's MOU includes an agreement to destroy Iran's nuclear materials (this in fact is not in the deal)

There was no reason for Felon47 to tear up Obama’s Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action with Iran. He was just being a racist asshole, jealous of a black man’s accomplishments. This is the worst diplomatic deal in our nation’s history. Look at this failure of a deal by a failure of a president.

🔴Trump Went to War In Order to Break Iran and Left It More Powerful Than Before – US Defence Analyst Brynn Tannehill explains how Trump’s war has resurrected an Iranian regime that sanctions and drought had been on course to topple bylinetimes.com/2026/06/18/t...

Brexiters make sure they never fully explain what “aggressively deregulate” means. Because it means a race to the bottom. Stripping away our rights and protections so that we can all be better exploited and dangerous risks can be more easily taken - for profit. Would go down like a sick sandwich.

These are the 30 women killed since 2020 in Northern Ireland, all by white men 21 killed in their homes by men they knew. The youngest 20, the oldest 82 21 were mothers, 4 were killed with their children in the home. Two were pregnant Nobody rioted over their murders www.bbc.com/news/article...

Obama: "It's a reminder that on a lot of different foreign policy problems, the notion we can just bully our way or bomb our way to solution may sometimes seem appealing ... You'd think we would've learned that lesson by now, but it seems like every so often we have to learn that lesson again."

THE STREET ARE OURS: THOUSANDS OF ANTIRACISTS RECLAIM THE STREETS IN GLASGOW AND HUMILIATE FAR RIGHT THUGS Glasgow reclaimed the streets from the far right today!

Belfast protest: Thousands gather for anti-racism rally

Far right framing and disinformation met with apathy or appeasement. Parroted, largely unquestioned, by a media exercised by political bias rather than rigorous neutral journalism. Political policy dictated by right wing lies. The UK today.

Restore are an asset to Reform in as much as they (Restore) are pushing at the boundaries of far-right politics and allowing Reform to occupy a less extreme space behind them. This lends Reform an unwarranted air of mainstream acceptability.

How much does #Brexit cost Britain in under 30 seconds:

Stories like this about acts of heroism by people who are not white never go viral www.thesun.co.uk/news/3937252...

So, it turns out that the violent protestors, who Farage & Reform would have us believe were regular members of the public showing justifiable rage, had numerous previous criminal convictions www.bbc.com/news/article...

Revealed: The Russian Neo-Nazi Network Pushing ‘White Lives Matter’ Division in Britain – Promoted by Tommy Robinson – Byline Times bylinetimes.com/2026/06/10/r...

If Muslims or members of the Asian and Black community had set fire to white people’s homes with children running for their lives, do you think we would be discussing legitimate concerns or focussing on who radicalised them and ideological and contributing cultural factors?

I hope we're going to see many charges for incitement to racial hatred, incitement to violence and incitement to riot, all of which have been happening blatantly and prolifically on social media. Or will two-tier policing in the UK, favouring the right and the far right, prevail yet again?

The family of the Belfast stabbing victim have released a statement saying - like the family of Henry Nowak last week - that the attack should not be used to "divide people or fuel hostility" They condemned disorder and praised the "valuable contribution" by migrants inews.co.uk/news/politic...

Tip of the iceberg. inwhoseinterests.uk/2025/09/17/w...

After 14 years in power, the Tories decide that the right time to abolish business rates is when they can't.

Trump expresses support for the Iranian people while threatening to wipe them out, claims the US has won yet continues military action, calls on support from allies then says he doesn't need them, sets deadlines which he amends or cancels, says a deal is imminent then carries out air strikes.

British journalists have a duty to our country, and to all they supposedly hold dear as fearless pursuers of truth, to hold Farage accountable and challenge far right disinformation. www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/uk/...

Extremely good sketch by @mrjohncrace.bsky.social from yesterday's PMQs, particularly this bit. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Farage went missing when the £5m donation raised questions.The moment he spotted a chance to exploit Henry Nowak's murder for political gain,he was back pushing the same old "two-tier policing" myth,despite Henry's family pleading for his death not to be used to divide people. He feeds on division.

Don't think people realise quite how deeply split by age current voting intention is. This is the latest YouGov for under-50s: Green: 26% Lab: 18% Reform: 14% Tories: 12% LD: 11% And over 50s: Reform: 36% Tory: 22% Lab: 16% LD: 12% Greens: 9%

This is demonstrably true.
