Given FindOutNow polls keep making news it's worth saying a bit more about their methodology. Unlike other online pollsters it doesn't use a panel of people who've signed up to do polls. Instead they ask a small number of Qs to people playing the Pick my Postcode lottery. (Thread)

"Does that make you question Nigel Farage's judgement?" "No, not at all." Reform UK supporter and former Tory MP Maria Caulfield responds to ex-Reform Wales leader Nathan Gill admitting Russia-linked bribery charges. #Newsnight

Reminder, now the world has been reduced to ‘content’ being fed into make-believe machines run by billionaires, books are gold dust when compared to all other ‘content’. If only book publishing positioned themselves as that and believed in themselves.

This is so sad and so enraging. We have to stop these people.

Demagogic president seizes money to pay standing army, arrogating to himself legislative power, while his cronies keep Congress out of session is honestly more or less exactly how the Founders thought this would end

I wrote this a little over a month ago: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Journalists at the Pentagon have handed over their badges and walked out after refusing to submit to repressive new press access rules from TV entertainer and inexplicably Secretary of War/Defense/whatevs Pete Hegseth.

The Supreme Court’s majority right wing indicated in oral arguments that they think racism is over on the same day that the vice president defended the “I love Hitler” guy, and that the NYT reported that the current administration plans to accept only white, English-speaking refugees.

Trump ICE regime troops assaulted and abducted a 15 year old American girl and two other US teens, a 250+ pound regime agent set his knee on her neck during the violent attack. "They were telling them they were U.S. citizens, and they didn't care." www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

I can't stress enough how young staffers working for Republicans are basically all groyper Nazis now. The leaked texts yesterday saying "I love Hitler" and now swastikas on congressional offices. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

So Nazis. They want to give refugee status to Nazis. OK, maybe not JUST Nazis. Also certain other white people who hate non-white immigration. But Nazis can definitely come. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/15/u...

Your occasional reminder that Mone can not be stripped of her peerage without an act of parliament. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Hey news people: I know you like to pretend this doesn't exist, but you need to pay attention to the Nazi drama on Twitter. Basically, it seems as if Elon just restored two major neo-Nazi accounts that were banned by his product head, and might be about to fire the product head for banning them

If other countries told Brits they had to learn the language of the country they'd moved to there would be uproar. The Daily Heil would have a meltdown, Farage would be spitting phlem everywhere as he ranted.

Vance, miserable liar that he is, referred to these bigoted, Nazi-flavored Young Republican posts as a "college group chat." But most of the quoted in the Politico article are GROWN ADULTS with JOBS. ADULT REPUBLICANS RUNNING A REPUBLICAN ORGANIZATION. Filth. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

I've been beating this drum for years now, but it's very true. These are the aspiring leaders of the Republican Party and the conservative movement that fuels it.

Disgusting behavior and our sons are watching this in admiration

All perfectly normal

The hostage release is a reminder of how bad the Dems are at politics. Not only did Biden refuse to force this deal on Netanyahu & thereby help Harris win, but most people aren’t even aware that Biden got way more Israeli hostages (over 100) released with his 2023 ceasefire than Trump did with his.

"Britain’s departure from the EU in the time of Trump, and Britain’s consequent unqualified dependence on the United States in an era when the US is heading straight down the road to institutional racism and neo-fascism, is an unmitigated clusterfuck bar none." - John le Carré

TRUMP: Boy, she asks a lot of questions. Who are you with? BURNS: Politico. Dasha Burns, sir TRUMP: Dasha, Politico, ugh. Politico has gone bad. They've been so wrong about everything. Let's get somebody else to ask some questions. You mind? Politico is fake news.

Ça. En 2025. #shithole

As someone who was called a “socialite” on rate my professors, this is very relatable content

The alarming aspect of this deliberate "anti-woke" algorithmic biasing of LLMs from an educational perspective is our institutions all bought in to an imaginary of innovation, then got locked in to enterprise contracts, and now the models are being recoded so they undermine educational values

31-year-old David Noutch, white British has been charged with racially aggravated assault, threatening with a bladed article in a public place and assault by beating. It was a White man attacking Non-White people. Where is the apology from this hateful racist?

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

The thing I'm "stunned" about is why this isn't the biggest domestic news item on every flipping platform bylinetimes.com/2025/10/11/s...

“I’m old enough to remember when mainstream British politicians, who should know better, stirred up racial hatred as a path to power. You’re old enough to remember too because it was last Tuesday. And it was Robert Jenrick” Cathartic anger at flag-flying racism. www.thenerve.news/p/stewart-le...

Children that were kidnapped by invading Russian barbarians, not displaced.

Not all correlation is causation, but causal relations are always correlated…

A man born in Pretoria, 1971, left for Canada in 1989, might want to wind his neck in (though apartheid South Africa was not necessarily too traumatic place for those who could benefit from apartheid if could manage to resist being too troubled by the racist principles of the state and society)

Same day. Same plenary session. Same visit to Gill’s office. Same Farage, Same Gill, same wife of sanctioned pro Russian agent. Six days after the first bribery charge

Blessed are the frogs, for they keep making authoritarians look incredibly stupid

Thread of incredible artwork 👇

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

a friend of mine in antifa told me that antifa's headquarters is SHEIN and if the company fell the whole network would fall

Brilliant spot on satire as always from @newsthump.com

A US friend checks in with me to see if W Europeans will need explanations on who or what specific US terms are when he writes. Yesterday he asked me how crazy ‘Europeans*’ think the US is. This was in relation to the UN designated genocide in Gaza. I had to explain I had bad news for him. [1]

It’s extraordinary that Biden’s main weaknesses were inflation and cognitive decline and now America has inflation and cognitive decline as well as tariffs, authoritarianism, blatant corruption, etc

They’re really in a full press moment with this nonsense.
