Feed: "East Anglia Bylines" By: Owen Sennitt, Local Democracy Reporter on Saturday, November 15, 2025

Just some British patriots in Benidorm, taking over a street in Spain to shout in their own language about unwanted foreigners. It’s a blessing that they are too thick to understand irony.

"Charles III’s patience with his brother may have snapped after a wave of fresh revelations about his friendship with the paedophile Jeffrey Epstein but it does not extend to banning him from using royal estates to go shooting with his friends, or horse riding " observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

His name is Richard Smith and he clearly thinks its perfectly ok to hit horses with riding whips.

Farage, Boris Johnson & Rees-Mogg apparently plotting assaults on UK democracy with Bannon, who was reporting back to Epstein. Nothing to see here, newspaper folk… www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The PM insists all's well at No. 10 while others speak of a coup... So who is calling the shots at No. 10 or even the BBC for that matter? Meanwhile Reform's vigilantes are out in force, Farage fumes & Jaywick tops deprivation list. Pecksniff has so much to write about...

Ken Clarke eviscerates Reform’s council incompetency on Question Time

"The science is evolving quite rapidly and time is running out to do anything about it because the tipping point may well be quite close," says PIK's @rahmstorf.bsky.social in this piece on Iceland declaring the potential collapse of #AMOC a national security risk. 👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1op...

We created a searchable database with all 20,000 files from Epstein’s Estate couriernewsroom.com/news/we-crea...

So here’s Bannon celebrating Theresa May’s ouster with George Galloway in 2019, and Farage thanking Bannon and Breitbart for making Brexit happen

Ken Clarke rips Reform to pieces, they don't know what they are talking about, they don't know what they are doing, they resigned instantly when they realised they couldn't do the job. #bbcqt

Yikes 😬 an official U.S. government account just referred to Americans as “imbecilic morons.” That’s… a choice.

In the latest Epstein e-mails published by the House oversight committee, the sex offender wrote that "of course trump knew" about his conduct with minor girls. He told his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell that Trump “spent hours” at his house with one of Epstein’s victims. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

Savage troll! Give it a like!

Alle durchgesickerten E-Mails von Epstein/Trump an einem Ort Bitte teilen Krassenstein

Don’t let these two get away. They are also in the Epstein files

Good statement from the US conference of Catholic Bishops

Farage earns more than any other MP for NOT being an MP. He says it’s “obviously sad” that part of his constituency is the most deprived area in England. But everything he’s ever done, said and wanted has made sure of it. This is the whole country if he gets into power. (Private Eye)

🔉What dangers does X pose to our democracy? And should the government stop using it? Good to hear yesterday from @sundersays.bsky.social and @petergeoghegan.bsky.social on the immense risk of X as it ignores legal obligations and its owner tries to influence UK politics. @commonswec.parliament.uk

South Park viewers left ‘traumatised’ by disturbing Trump and Vance bed scene

Today in Kyiv the exhibition “The Delicate Flower of Kateryna Bilokur” opened, dedicated to the 125th anniversary of the outstanding Ukrainian artist The display features 11 of her works, including for the 1st time a tactile copy of Watermelon, Carrot and Flowers for the blind and visually impaired

“The prohibited activities would include joint research, co-authorship on papers, and advising a foreign graduate student or postdoctoral fellow. The language is retroactive, meaning any interactions during the previous 5 years could make a scientist ineligible for future federal funding.”

Massive russische Luftangriffe auf Kyjiw – mehrere Verletzte gemeldet: Russland hat Kyjiw in der Nacht erneut massiv aus der Luft angegriffen. Hunderte Drohnen und Raketen trafen Wohngebiete und Infrastruktur in fast allen Bezirken der Stadt, mehrere Menschen wurden verletzt.

Trump wants to destroy the BBC and Farage is egging him on. To all those who love the BBC, now is the time to speak up.

Elon Musk's X AI Grok has created a rival to Wikipedia, called Grokipedia. Naturally, the kinds of source it relies on conform to the far right views of Musk, citing Infowars as a reliable source. X, Grok, and Grokipedia should be shunned by all reasonable people. indicator.media/p/grokipedia...

WOW, new signage!

Far Side comic relief.

These Epstein emails make at least one thing abundantly clear: The rumors that Trump “kicked Epstein out of Mar a Lago and cut ties with him” were bullshit.

🚨BREAKING: Oversight Dems have received new emails from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate that raise serious questions about Donald Trump and his knowledge of Epstein’s horrific crimes. Read them for yourself. It’s time to end this cover-up and RELEASE THE FILES.

The BBC can retrieve something from this mess (and show US broadcasters what a spine is) by sending Donald Trump a four letter response: “See you in court!” www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/media/...

Latest Epstein emails cast further doubt on Andrew’s claim of cutting ties

Are there any china and porcelain connoisseurs out there in the BlueSky hive mind who can tell me anything about this square-shaped plate, please? 👇 Google Lens has been completely useless in identifying the piece: or providing any vaguely useful information about it. Thank you in advance.

Woah! Nearly a month before Trump met Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Helsinki in 2018, Epstein attempted to pass a message to Russia’s top diplomat: If you want to understand Trump, talk to me. [email protected] & @nahaltoosi.bsky.social www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

The fight over the Epstein files is heading to the House floor. A fresh email released Wednesday — in which Epstein told a journalist that Trump “knew about the girls” — is jump-starting the push for a December vote Trump has tried to avoid.

“EU agreed to fast-track talks on an electricity trading agreement with the UK in major win for Starmer’s Brexit reset. They also approved mandates for talks on an agri-food deal to ease trade frictions…Negotiations in those two areas can now get underway in earnest” www.politico.eu/article/uk-s...

This article is an antidote to the all too common trope in the UK among Brexiters and exceptionalists that Europe is somehow a "global bully" (while simultaneously being too weak and unable to rein in emotional France and vengeful Germany. Or something) No. Europe is a port in a storm. A 🧵
