Files on Andrew’s activities as trade envoy withheld by the government. Once again even disgraced royals are protected by the state. What’s there to hide? It’s more important than ever that transparency reigns with the Royal Family. And it never does. www.thetimes.com/article/c695...

To try not to do analysis for a second, my personal dislike of Starmer, and I suspect that of a lot of those who did vote for him, comes from his utter failure to engage with the radicalisation of the right and the increasing acceptance of gutter racism in the public sphere.

Why are Starmer & Reeves so unpopular? Alienating potential supporters while courting those who will always loath them. #DumbPolitics

Getting to Net Zero is cheaper than letting the planet burn. Twice as cheap in fact. If we do nothing, climate change will cost us 15% of global GDP. Getting to Net Zero limits those costs to 7%.

The Labour Government must condemn this immediately.

Lancashire’s Reform council leader is happy to take freebies from the Israeli government which does this ⬇️

2016 : "Brexit will give us chlorinated chicken" Brexiters : "PROJECT FEAR!!!" 2025 : "White House demands British supermarkets stock chlorinated chicken"

The Nazis removed people's citizenship: specifically that of Jewish German nationals who were outside Germany in (?)1941. Not a great look.

Nuclear SMRs were never really meant to work. For the companies it's a pump-and-dump fraud and for the offtakers it's perpetually-around-the-corner greenwashing so they can build filthy fossil gas for data centres today and tomorrow Oklo the worst of the lot: far-right climate deniers all 'round

I’m happy that Trump’s crown has slipped enough fo people to think about a post-Trumpian world. But I still don’t see how MAGA will willingly hand over power. In 2020 they tried incompetently to fake an election. The 2024- MAGA movement is marked by increased competence in its exercise of coercion.

Who saw that coming?

In November, over 1,200 MPs and other influential people heard an official-style emergency briefing on the climate & nature crisis in Westminster. Now we’re taking that evidence to the public. 🎥 The People’s Emergency Briefing Please support the crowdfunder: www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/the-people...

Please ask your MP to add their name to this Parliamentary call for Government to lead a prime-time televised emergency briefing to the nation. Experts are clear: climate and nature breakdown threaten the UK’s security, food supply, health and economy. #NEB2025 #NationalEmergencyBriefing

#BDS works!

ADAM: Dec 25 A Christian reveals what it’s like to be Christian in lsraeI. Cursed, spat on and attacked, every single day. “Jesus is a ****, Jesus is a son of a w****” They are removing Christianity from the holy land while Netanyahu sends out Christmas messages. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhMH...

The third paragraph reads as if the Russians wrote it. Maybe they did. In any event, it is an atrociously big lie; 1984-grade, as Aaron Rupar rightly says.

When propaganda collided with facts, it brutalised reality until the facts conformed. Subjects not only believed its lies: they no longer found the distinction between truth and falsehood meaningful. This was “post-truth politics” at its most extreme. Sound familiar? apple.news/A0wIfKMBtQSS...

The banality of evil.

Reed & his ilk are so stupid - a mediocre, toe-the-liner, place holder in a mediocre Cabinet alienating yet more of the activists in the Labour Party.

This is a photo of London’s oldest tree - the Totteridge yew Thought to be living when Jesus was born means it can also claim to be literally London’s first Christmas tree #FirstChristmas 🎄 #GreatTreesof London #GTOL @ticl.me @audrey-bailey.bsky.social

Part of the biggest grooming gang of all - where’s your call for action Farage & cult followers? Ah - wrong colour!

Current special relationship is that Britain gives Donald Trump two state visits, and he attacks bans British citizens from entry to the US www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This US administration is now completely losing any semblance of sanity in sanctioning "censorship masterminds". There's no other way to put it, this is tin pot dictatorship territory and must be called out as such. Including in the US.

This struck me too. As Anne Applebaum doesn’t mention, she wrote a classic history of the Gulag.

Just like ICE.

Goodness me, these judicial comments are astonishingly damming of the Campaign Against Antisemitism. news.sky.com/story/regina...

Remember when every leader wanted their picture taken with Greta? She is still that truth teller, they just can't face the truth of their crimes.

Might well be the most useful thing you can do over the next few days 😉

Total gaslighting. Anti-trans activist; chooses to speak in person, provoking students who want to protect trans rights; they exercise their freedom of speech to tell her she isn't wanted; she gets to speak anyway; the BBC dutifully platforms her again; and now she threatens to sue everyone.

Keir Starmer’s Lab gott has clearly seen itself as a taker rather than a maker of immigration attitudes. In practice, it has by both acts and omissions added to salience & public misperceptions. It needed more comtrol of boats to do better but in 2025 fuelled misperception that numbers still rising

In case you were wondering how that ceasefire was going… Israel bombed a wedding in Gaza today We will never forget.

:)

Now there is an effective metaphor.

The same Chris Parry whose party leader admires & echoes Putin & whinged about the UK to Trump. So much for loyalty - for Parry it’s only a question if your skin is black or brown.

Lest we forget

Utterly ridiculous to compare a far right racist with a Green Party leader who is currently demonstrating better socialist credentials than the so-called Labour party. If Labour doesn't realise soon that it's the progressive voters it needs to appeal to, not the Reform ones, it's game over.

2025 has been a speed competition in normalising racism. And as Toni Morrison said, the serious function of racism is distraction. So 2025 has topped the charts in distraction from the real work to achieve societal progress. Wishing you a less distracted 2026. northeastbylines.co.uk/news/politic...

He claims to be an equal opportunity critic. Can he show where he has questioned the loyalty or identity of Bob Geldof, Bono or other campaigners for debt relief and development who are not black or Asian? He has not yet done so on Gaza either
