The ABC has been ordered to pay journalist Antoinette #Lattouf $150,000 for unlawful sacking, on top of the $70,000 already awarded. The judge found the ABC's decision to sack her was made to appease pro-Israel lobbyists behind a campaign of complaints #journalism www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

Ed Davey urges regulator to go after Musk over X 'crimes' - Musk has backed the far right here and across Europe, he’s also called for the overthrow of the British government. @eddavey.libdems.org.uk is right, time for action. www.bbc.com/news/article...

The FBI used hidden cameras to record Tom Homan taking a $50,000 bribe (in cold, hard cash) last year from undercover agents posing as business executives who Homan promised government contracts in a new Trump administration. The Trump DOJ has now shut down the probe. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

What can we learn from nine months of Trumponomics, what are the next flashpoints for US-EU trade, investment and finance battles and how can the EU turn the Trump storm into an opportunity?

“The free, open access communications paradigm we have did not arrive like magic. It was the product of a fair amount of political wrangling” - that's why we must continue our fight for the web. 🙏 @washingtonpost.com for reviewing 'This Is for Everyone' www.washingtonpost.com/books/2025/0...

Prominent figures in the US and UK deliberately talk down our country, and in particular, our capital city. Yet the latest evidence is clear: a record number of US citizens are now applying for citizenship in the UK. For many Americans I speak with, it’s because of our values.

Robert Redford warned us in 2020: “Four more years [of Trump] would accelerate our slide toward autocracy. It would be taken as free license to punish more so-called ‘traitors’ and wage more petty vendettas – with the full weight of the Justice Department behind them.”

Israel has committed genocide in Gaza, says UN inquiry

Thank you to Hannah Einbinder for using her acceptance at the #Emmys to speak out against Israel’s genocide in Gaza. The pledge Hannah refers to in her interview has been signed by hundreds of artists who have said they will not work with Israeli film institutions ‘implicated in genocide.’

Here is Danny Kruger MP in Parliament, as a Tory MP before defecting today, berating Reform UK for "simply replacing the words Conservative Party with the words Reform Party... in a desperate search for relevance", then warning they would "spend money like drunken sailors". ~AA

Hugely enjoyed #AMidsummerNightsDream For One Night Only at Shakespeare's Globe. Terrific atmosphere despite downpours soaking the groundlings. Very funny with an unbelievably talented cast. Every play should have @sarahfinigan.bsky.social as the onstage prompt. #London #Shakespeare #TheatreSky

On the Trump-supporting Fox News network, host Brian Kilmeade suggested that mentally ill homeless people be euthanized. He actually said "just kill 'em" and suggested that it could be done via "involuntary lethal injection". I've heard that before. encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/a...

Mandelson getting sacked over the Epstein stuff was clearly correct. So, in unrelated news, why exactly are we rolling out the red carpet to Trump this week? @ukstoptrump.bsky.social

Starmer ravages Farage: "The honourable member for Clacton is not here... he's flown to America to badmouth and talkdown our country. And worse than that... he's gone there to lobby the Americans to impose sanctions. You cannot get more unpatriotic than that. It's a disgrace."

This is Musk addressing the rally in London via video link. "Violence is coming to you. You either fight back or die". Enough. That's incitement. He's calling for the government to be overthrown. Stopping posting in X? It needs to be banned in the UK. He's a threat to our national security.

That three major British newspapers jumped on the poorly sourced (ATF to Steven Crowder to WSJ) line about the bullets having ‘trans’ symbols (actually a, wait for it, Helldivers 2 code) is such a tell on what they really care about. They really need to apologise (they won’t)
