Irrespective of whether Jesus was a real person or not, the fact is the Bible states he was born in Bethlehem, Palestine to non-white parents & was of no fixed abode. He disliked the rich & spent his life advocating for the vulnerable & poor. Perhaps Christians should take note.

Good piece on how countries will run rings round Trump’s tariffs.

Here are Farage and Trump Jr. with Andrew Tate and Tate parroting Russian propaganda. And lastly there is Andrew Tate, George Galloway and Trump Jr.. There is a real tie-up between Russia, the far-right and sexual predators.

We've always had these dead-eyed socipaths around. It's just a few years ago they were ignored and now they're "senior fellow" at places funded by evil millionaires + going on podcasts with a brain-rotted ex-PM.

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

Epstein victims broke down in tears after newly released files showed the FBI ignored a child pornography complaint decades ago.

This is the second story in three days The Times has carried arguing against misogyny lessons in schools, which it describes as "some weird feminist attack on male children".

Far right scum have been out harrassing the homeless on the streets & they are proud of it. The folks at @calaisappeal.bsky.social are doing everything they can to stand up to the hate 🙏 please stand with us 🙏 www.youtube.com/shorts/bxFVG...

Why Is the Government Really Refusing to Investigate Russian Interference in Brexit? bylinetimes.com/2025/12/19/r...

Led By Donkeys: Farage & Putin

This is deeply troubling. The silence of so much of the mainstream. That this should be happening when a former human rights lawyer is Prime Minister… Peace is a greater threat to the powerful than war.

How Nigel Farage is walking straight into the Government's trap on its inquiry into foreign financial interference bylinetimes.com/2025/12/17/k...

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

Robin Ince reveals to last night’s audience at a recording of Infinite Monkey Cage that the BBC has forced him to resign over his support of trans people

Eight people who took action in solidarity with Palestine have been on hunger strike since 2 November in protest at their prolonged pre-trial imprisonment, censorship of communications and alleged mistreatment in custody. Five have now been hospitalised. David Lammy must respond.

🚨 Nigel Farage Accepts Another £135,000 From Gold Bullion Firm for Just 12 Hours Work The Reform UK leader has pocketed £415,500 so far this year to act as the company’s “Brand Ambassador” My latest report for @bylinetimes.bsky.social bylinetimes.com/2025/12/11/n...

Incredible that The Institute of Economic Affairs continues to get such a platform from the media as though it's some kind of neutral commentator (including the BBC) when they don't declare their funders - exposures like this just demonstrate why they don't. Great work from @writesbright.bsky.social

BREAKING: EUROPE JUST BOXED TRUMP & PUTIN IN open.substack.com/pub/deanblun...

We now learn that Fifa had a very specific "ask" in exchange for its "Peace Award" to Trump, with loads of gold trinkets, and that was dismissal of a criminal corruption case against senior Fifa officials. And Trump granted it. Another corrupt bargain, barely noticed (and ignored by US media).

GB News has had to pay substantial damages to Islamic Relief. Hopefully this news gets thoroughly spread: www.islamic-relief.org.uk/gb-news-apol...

SHOCKING: 7 Palestine Action activists have been on HUNGER STRIKE for as long as 30 DAYS. The activists have been denied bail, and could be held for over two years before their trial. WHY is no one talking about this?! #PalestineAction #RightToProtest #UK #news #politics

NATO Chief Mark Rutte urged member countries to do more to prepare for the possibility of large-scale war, warning that Russia may be ready to attack the alliance within five years.

🚨New research by the Migration Advisory Committee shows migrants who came to the UK on the Skilled Worker visa route in 2022/23 likely to make a +47bn fiscal contribution over their lifetime. Even the lowest earners excluded from the route after the July changes make a positive contribution

So Nigel Farage, who claims to be standing up for ordinary working people, has taken hundreds of thousands of pounds so far this year for a handful of hours as a "brand ambassador" for a gold bullion company, while facilitating a £9m donation from a crypto millionaire bylinetimes.com/2025/12/11/n...

The Swiss Government has rejected using Palantir saying it presents devastating security risks. Why are we using it?

There is one overriding political problem, from which all others follow. Until it is addressed, every policy advanced by governments is window dressing. www.theguardian.com/inequality/2...

Another depressingly tone-deaf performance by Badenoch at #PMQs. Our continent is threatened from East and West, and Kemi wants to talk Westminster gossip. Rarely have I seen anyone as witless, be so pleased with themselves. Truss springs to mind. Johnson. Cameron. WAIT - I think I see a pattern.

What Musk really means is that if the EU was no more the power of the individual countries would diminish such that they would be unable to stand up to the likes of him & Trump. Medvedev’s supportive reply is further proof Brexit is a Putin project Musk‘s X has just been fined $140 mill by EU

All right, crafty folks. I need everyone who sees this to keep a look out for the following shawls.

BREAKING: “The idea that leaving the EU was the answer to all our cares and concerns has clearly been proved wrong." Keir Starmer says that "wild promises were made" about Brexit. He adds: "The same argument is now being made about the European Convention on Human Rights"

Brexit: the trillion pound ‘mistake’ The recent NBER report suggests the Treasury’s 2016 analysis – slammed by Brexiters as a ‘hoax’– actually understated the impact of Brexit yorkshirebylines.co.uk/opinion/brex...

Oh Zia Yusufski, you and your Reform lot are going to have to get cross with *a lot* of people. Here’s Private Eye taking the piss out of you too.

Lib Dem leader Edward Davey calls for a national investigation into Russian political interference in British politics: "Given Reform won't, he must. So will he know launch a national investigation into Russian infiltration into our politics?" Starmer: "Reform is riddled with pro-Putin propaganda"

"By 2025, Brexit had reduced UK GDP by 6% to 8%, with the impact accumulating gradually over time. We estimate that investment was reduced by between 12% and 18%, employment by 3% to 4% and productivity by 3% to 4%" Read the Stanford report: siepr.stanford.edu/publications...

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Yay!! I couldn’t be there but Sergei & the Westminster Spy Ring just won gold at the APA podcast awards!! Whole thing was crowdfunded by @the-citizens.bsky.social to highlight 5-year legal case to get an investigation into Russian interference in UK politics. Power to the people!

I haven't seen any yet but you could probably find a few contemporaries who didn't personally witness Farage being Farage at school. But there doesn't seem to be a single former pupil or teacher who find the descriptions of racism, anti-semitism & cruelty unfeasible. Shocked, I tell you...

On Today before 7 a former Trump official claimed without challenge that US spending on Ukraine far outweighs that of Europe (at least contestable) and that Europe was now irrelevant to the peace talks. 30 mins later Steve Rosenberg made clear that Europe’s irrelevance was a Kremlin talking point
