A big reason for the small turnouts of < 300 is the reputation of those protesting for extremism, being up for violence, and being overtly racist This is esp reflected in the absence of any large protests + any disorder in 30 locations that saw riots in 2024, which the media has mostly not noticed

Fantasy world of Farage adviser: UK should not have fought Nazi Germany. Could “regain” former colonies. Should copy mass incarcerations as in El Salvador. Should not support Ukraine. Elsewhere Reform opposes worker rights, wants US style healthcare, return to gold standard for currency.

Labour in first place; Greens in second & Reform trailing in a distant fifth. Blows apart all the Reform hyperbole about winning the next London Mayoral election. Unless there is a major electoral earthquake Farage & Reform have little chance of winning London. Via @yougov.co.uk

It’s fun to see the Labour Government go on about ‘online safety’ and at the same time acquiescing instantly and completely to online misinformation and hate about asylum seekers.

Lewis Goodall and Jon Sopel of TheNewsAgents on how the far right in the US is carving its style into UK politics Question to ask is what's the point of the Online Safety Bill if it doesn't tackle misinformation and lies online?

I genuinely do NOT understand the idiocy of having Putin proxies on TV News, like Sergei Markov just now screaming Russian propaganda on Sky News for ten minutes. We are at war with Russia. When before has UK media ever platformed enemy states who attack our allies and poison people in our streets?
