Some of the people in this article have shared their recollections with me before - but on condition of anonymity. Coming forward now is an act of patriotism. Farage’s claim that it never happened is the opposite. (Note also the line about pronouncing his name.) www.theguardian.com/politics/ng-...

The BBC have always been biased against me. As I explained in detail during my 38 appearances on BBC Question Time.

Many thanks to JCB’s Lord Bamford for donating £200,000 to Reform. HMRC seem to think he owes them up to £500m from money hidden in offshore accounts, but why pay tax when you can give it to a bunch of racists instead?

Talk TV confirm that they have sacked renowned concrete grower, Mike Graham. Seems unfair to sack him for being a racist dick when that was basically his job description.

Spot on , what a bellend he truly is.

"The problem isn’t that we have a deliberately biased BBC, it’s that we have a BBC that has been consciously reduced in its scope and bullied into dumbing down and retreating." @stephenkb.bsky.social

A magnificent piece of work. Comprehesive, revelatory & shocking. Journalism this good is always rare & precious but never moreso than at times like this.

'A Breach Of Human Decency': James O'Brien Savages Tory Frontbencher's Immigration Comments www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/a-brea...

"Legal and treaty commitments to foreigners don’t count, even if we’ve already made them, because ‘our people’, however defined, come first....It is....not simply immoral but just plain thick". 👏🏾👏🏾

On the anniversary of The Battle of Cable Street, let us remember that the Daily Mail was cheering on Fascists then and continues that proud tradition today.

“The UK has a system in which a TV channel can pay a political leader almost half a million pounds a year and give him an hour an evening to react to his rivals without breaking a single rule.”

@mrjamesob.bsky.social listening to you right now. Bang on about Badenoch and Daily Mail column / access. PS - ard you aware, your employer has just given her a "monthly phone in" platform with failed Tory candidate Ian Dale? Seems fair and balanced. I assume the PM will get the same offer?

‘Five Houses’ Farage has a certain ring. And he owns, or has claimed to own, all of them. Which is four more than Angela Rayner does… www.bbc.com/news/article...

Read that @hopenothate.org.uk article alongside my article in the Guardian today, and you see a deeply concerning picture of what politics in this country has become. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

A very disturbing thing I missed in researching this week's column. Three of the four junktank ultras hired by Labour to groom civil servants are named in this investigation of a Westminster network involving the disgraced eugenicist Andrew Sabisky. investigations.hopenothate.org.uk/andrew-sabis...

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Do those under 16 need to send in a question by post with a self-addressed envelope included?

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I think it is fair to now ask if the £22BN black hole included the projected £9BN??

@mrjamesob.bsky.social being objective, to me, the most emotionally unstable person at PMQs yesterday was Badenoch who clearly has had an empathy brass and a swinging brick as a heart!

London is over

@mrjamesob.bsky.social : Enabled by right-wing media, those with the most wealth demonise those with the least. The narrative and myth multiplies. The majority, including those with the least, don't get that platform to highlight tax evasion, PPE fraud, slum landlords, multi home owners etc. Simple

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Q. what happened to UK utilities? Answer - Thatcherism. End of. Pure Tory dogma.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social just asking - can't you have a say in selecting our sit-in presenters on @lbc.co.uk ? So far today, 2 straight hours of UK Government bashing. Now giving Lord Toby Young a platform to bash them on freedom of speech (irony, much?).

The televised Oval Office meeting with Bukele is mockery. They’re mocking the press, their opposition, the courts, and the entire concept of justice. They’re mocking everyone who isn’t them. The abuser’s playbook yet again.

Latest from @thetimes.com campaign in favour of keeping Britain as a tax haven for foreigners, regardless of how long they have lived here. What a pity it won’t tell us how Henley Partners, which has skin in the game, came up with its data. Its last “survey” was “modelled” on 250 LinkedIn profiles!

Britain's wrongest man rides again.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social This book explains a lot!

From last month... www.computerweekly.com/news/3666194...

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.

The fact that a reporter was inadvertently given access to this in real time shows that Pete Hegseth & the rest of this crew are bumbling incompetents who are going to get a lot of intelligence officials and others killed at some point. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

For those who say that the results of the Trump-Putin call were good for Ukraine--the following needs to be understood. 1) The US has no new approved aid for Ukraine--all that is left is the remaining Biden aid (which is running out) 2) Trump has not actually put any new sanctions on Russia

This is hideous. And close to inexplicable unless Trump is doing what Putin tells him to.

The last *seven days*? What *we* have *always feared*? What an irredeemable fraud he is. Gets a whole chapter in ‘How They Broke Britain’. And here he is now, ‘seeing the light’. Danny Dyer voiceover: “Twat.”

State of the USA from a normal person ... youtu.be/Vhdih6WXTEc?...

@mrjamesob.bsky.social James. I'd suggest PM Starmer and the UK not being at the Brussels EU summit today is akin to a poor child looking through the toy shop window at Christmas while the better of kids ard inside. Literally window shopping.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social maybe a trite wee thing to highlight, but at this time, I'd recommend a listen to the Nick Lowe song "So it goes"... "All day long in discussions with tge Russians".

@jamesobrien.bsky.social I wonder why @borisjohnsonreal.bsky.social is so quiet currently!??

I highly recommend watching the 1982 UK / Polish film Moonlighting with Jeremy Irons. @jamesobrien.bsky.social

An amazing resignation letter to Bove from an AUSA who worked on the Adams case. Money quote: “I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

Who did this masterpiece?

Labour needs to end its “cycle of hesitation” over Europe and press ahead with an ambitious new relationship with the European Union, the party’s former leader Neil Kinnock has said www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

The front page we’ve been waiting for 👏

‘A tiny cabal of men and women control almost all of newspaper coverage.’ ‘The population is being groomed.’ @mrjamesob.bsky.social hits out at Rupert Murdoch’s influence over UK media.
