2025 – Democracies at War. War on Democracies visegradinsight.eu/eu-values-fo...

"Why American-style polarisation is spreading across the West" Two words: algorithms and incentives. Mostly incentives. Until we modify or eliminate incentives, all we can do is watch as the fabric of society is pulled apart, strand by strand. www.ft.com/content/5060...

This sounds like both an admission of guilt and a rallying cry to complete the January 6 attack and install a dictatorship and make their rule permanent.

From a few years ago but Prospect have tied so many things together that the bias is plain to see

Following media reports? You mean by ⁦‪Byline Times? I know we cause you some grief ⁦‪BBCNews‬⁩ by criticising the role of Robbie Gibb - but credit where credit is due www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Joey Barton has been prosecuted for social media posts on X that crossed the legal line. It is unusual for things to get prosecuted in court. The X platform has no serious or even tokenistic effort to prevent much stronger stuff that is clearly highly unlawful www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Yes, I failed to credit him with being a key figure of Conservative Friends of Russia (and making a visit to the Duma) and co-founding WESS digital with Paul Staines who worked on Russian Embassy and Boris Johnson digital campaigns

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Apropos of nothing, I’ve just realised that Matthew Elliott, of Young Britons Foundation, Tufton Street, and Vote Leave fame has been ennobled as the Baron of Mickle Fell. Not sure he thought that one through

The BBC has bigger impartiality problems than its coverage of Trump My god. If only @arusbridger.bsky.social was a BBC director instead of Robbie Gibb. The whole country would be in a much better state www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/media/...

who do we #Trust? “There’s an absurdity in taking the position we’ve taken on Palestine Action, while ignoring the threat of Elon Musk talking about civil war. Absolute absurdity.”

I love that the two greatest Anglophone cities of the world are both now run by democratic socialist Muslim men of South Asian descent. Very here for the first Sadiq–Zohran bilateral ♥️ photo: @bylinetimes.bsky.social

This is why history teachers are so important. This poor man thinks that unless you’re descended from fourth and fifth century immigrants, you’re not English. If only they’d studied the Norman Conquest at his school, he’d know you have to be a descendant of French Vikings.

Thanks to Politico for the shout out - covering two @bylinetimes.bsky.social scoops on racist comments by senior councillors in recent days

Misanthropy

People have long argued that Brexit - mainly engineered by Cummings and Farage/Bannon - was actually a racist project, and little to do with sovereignty I think the current configuration of Cummings/Farage/Bannon has proved them right.

Eg

Ha. Some just said these tweet was a lot of words to say 'arsehole'. So I fixed that

Conservative Councillor says "young black males" are "flooding" the UK Contacted by Byline, she defended her comments, saying “we cannot sustain the volume of.. black males” that “jeopardises [our] security" Asked why their skin colour matters, she replied “because they are [black], aren’t they?"

Stop. Policing. Poppies. That's. Not. What. Remembrance. Is. About.

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design. news.sky.com/story/the-x-...

Nigel Farage's favoured Mayoral candidate for Doncaster said black people cannot be English. Reform councillor Alexander Jones claimed being English requires Anglo-Saxon ‘lineage’. The messages were deleted after questions were raised by Byline Times bylinetimes.com/2025/11/05/n...

Nigel Farage, whose ancestors came over in small boats in the 1570s, doesn’t meet the ‘English test’ set by his parties mayoral candidate. Scenes.

‘The artist Paul Klee once said that art does not represent what we see, but makes us see. And I quickly learned the same is true of journalism: far from being a neutral arbiter of information, it has the same power to craft the ideas we think with, not just the ideas we think about’.

Another racism exclusive at @bylinetimes.bsky.social today Reform's candidate for Mayor of Doncaster claimed being English requires Anglo-Saxon ‘lineage’ and attacked ‘third world cultures’ in now-deleted posts bylinetimes.com/2025/11/05/n...

“We’ve been sanctioned by Russia, barred by Badenoch, and blocked by Nigel Farage.“ (BylineTimes) 👏 3/3

“We exposed the Kremlin’s ‘Doppelgänger’ disinformation network, later seeing our work cited by United States federal agencies. We described the Israeli Government’s genocidal intent in Gaza way back in 2023, the first publication in the UK to do so.” 2/3

Given that they don’t/won’t, perhaps BylineTimes has found another way of achieving impact? Just seen this👇 “We documented Russia’s ‘human safari’ in Kherson, our reporting of potential war crimes later confirmed by a United Nations investigation.” 1/3

The BylineTimes is more powerful than it appears - politicians are reacting to its exposés, far-right parties try to shut out their reporters (a good sign), and I hear it’s gaining traction along the halls of Westminster. More & more people are sharing their articles 🙂

I need this. Don't take this from me. I need a 2 part video series, where Sadiq Khan visits NYC, and he and Zohran Mamdani take the subway to Mets-Willets to watch a Mets game, and talk about hopeful things. Then in part 2, Zohran visits London. They take the Tube to watch Arsenal play Liverpool.

So far, no acknowledgement of Samir Zitouni's heroism from Ben Habib, Darren Grimes or Tommy Robinson... #c4news

This is the president of the United States taking a break from gold-and-marble interior renovations to say he’ll defy a court order to feed hungry Americans. Nero would be proud.

Unidentified drones, likely Russian, were spotted again over Belgium’s Kleine Brogel Air Base... the 4th time in a week. It’s the same base that houses F-16s and reportedly stores U.S. nuclear weapons.
