Sure. Something similar happened with transphobia. It's now obvious that the earlier focus on sports and prisons was the veil behind which lay extreme hostility to trans people everywhere

So tell me again how Nigel Farage, who just took the largest ever political donation, from a Tory mega-donor, and another donation from the Viscountess wife of the non-dom owner of the Daily Mail, is planning to "take on the establishment"

Great pop fact in case you didn't know: Rebecca Front's graphic designer dad Charles designed the #RubberSoul logo.

I'm "your listener", Chris Mason. I want to know why Boris Johnson isn't in jail, not whether Rachel Reeves left some details out of a few interviews. #r4today

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture. They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

When Rishi Sunak made the Vaccine deal with Moderna as Chancellor, he had up to £530m invested in Moderna. Now Michelle Mone is desperately bringing it up. Like if you want Mone on trial. RT if you want them both facing the music.

This petition for a public inquiry into Russian interference is up to 9.6k, and growing fast. We must do everything in our power to break through the establishment's wall of silence about Russian interference. Please share the petition as widely as possible. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/74...

Started reading The Fraud, and it is abundantly clear that the Labour Party was hollowed out by a cabal of right-wing corporatised infiltrators who clearly despise the left so much that they committed serious crimes to fulfil their goals of total capture of the party and betrayal of their members.

Lewis Goodall: Trump's attack can rescue the BBC The BBC should use the threat of legal action to strike a blow for press freedom 🖊️ @lewisgoodall.com

Epic background work here - SODEM, I presume?

So this morning I get an urgent email for a same day cardiology appointment at my local treatment centre. I was surprised (and alarmed) but fine. I moved things around and went there a few minutes ago. Only there was no real appointment. The receptionist said I wasn't supposed to receive any 1/

Should Gibb be sacked? yes, obviously. He's an abomination of basic journalistic standards. His GB News channel spreads conspiracy theory & disinformation. His Jewish Chronicle newspaper spreads invented stories. He is plainly trying to undermine the BBC so it's as bad as everything else he touches.

Surely Gibb has a huge conflict of interest and either should resign or be removed from the BBC board.

(1 of 3) Good thing the BBC didn't talk to any January 6 experts before going in this direction. The United States Capitol grounds were closed on January 6. It was a federal crime to trespass on them. Trump told leaders of an illegal march intended to terminate illegally on federal grounds...

I think this constant push for immigrants to feel & act ‘grateful’ is so insidious. Let’s change the narrative. Migration is a normal part of human behaviour, not a charity case. If you’re doing your best to do your best, you don’t need to do even more to be accepted. It’s your right to be accepted.

Let's just take a moment to reflect on the self-sacrifice and hope this person embodies - not the evil, hateful monsters thirsting for violence.

Britain is not a country of racist bigots. Time for the decent majority to "take back control". Repost if you agree.

“All children’s lives have equal value,” we say, with confidence. But having for years witnessed my people buried under the weight of global silence, let’s face it: That sentence only applies if the children are the right color, from the right wars, dying in ways the news can romanticize. 1/5

Farage: epic grifter

Nationalism – good or bad? www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/10... My thoughts on a subject at the core of politics in the UK now.

I think Cory Doctorow really put it best Conservatives think everything in the past was different from what is really was because they are remembering it from the viewpoint of childhood naïveté

It's that moment again for National Trust members to vote to keep the entryists out. Quick and easy to vote and please do so by 31st of October Quick Vote link keeps the AstroTurfers out. Then share. Thank you. secure.cesvotes.com/V3-3-0/nt25/...

Thanks for the reminder

I waited to post this until I had permission from the writer. This is real and it's frightening. The blood running through the veins/arteries of the monsters in the R' party/Project 2025/Russell Vought has been replaced with cruelty and evil. 😡🤬😭

Linked to this yesterday, but I am re-upping today because this is the best piece of practical research I have seen lately. It deals with what's gone wrong in political coverage.

NEW | You thought it was a boring story about sports right? No! It’s obviously about ‘wokeness’… HOW THE BOAT RACE BECAME ANOTHER CHANCE TO BASH THE BBC… brokenbottleboy.substack.com/p/how-the-bo...

cannot overstate the degree to which like, no normal person in the uk cares strongly about trans people either way btw. like, the reason the media manufactured moral panic is working is because it has convinced lawmakers that people care about it, not because it has made people care about it

Farage is keeping us prisoners in his Platonic cage with the nonsense he talks, which the media lets set the political agenda. We need to break the chains and go outside to find the light. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/09...

Far Right on the streets. Immigrants and Muslims demonised. Racist attacks across the country including a racially aggravated rape. One of the richest men with the largest platform encourages violence. Yet nothing from govt, other than we’ll never “surrender our flag”? Where are the sensible voices?

What frightens me far more than Farage and Yaxley-Lennon is the failure of the overwhelming majority of the media to speak the truth about these fascist Putin tools, just as the media whitewashed that other fascist Putin tool Charlie Kirk. With such media, we are all but defenceless against fascism

My view is that no comment is not sustainable to tomorrow morning, without significant reputational damage to this government and to the Prime Minister personally, given the current mood of MPs, the party and the public

I'm sitting here, trying to plan for Saturday, make sure I don't even need to go to the corner shop for milk, like it's Christmas Day or lockdown. Why?
