Yup.
I can't quite believe it. I'm dying of cringe! 😫 Please somebody, anybody, go and tell them that they look like the worst parody of politically inept and socially incompetent politicians
the #flags discourse is the shittest discourse
Real police state stuff, pre-emptively arresting people in Defend Our Juries, because they are organising a peaceful protest.
The lesson is clear: you can’t outflank the far right by borrowing its language. You only validate its narrative, undermine your own authenticity, and make democracy more fragile in the process.
The world's largest academic association of genocide scholars - the 500-member International Association of Genocide Scholars - has passed a resolution saying that the legal criteria have been met to establish Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. genocidescholars.org/wp-content/u...
Starmer could have said: Vandalism isn't patriotism; daubing red crosses on Chinese takeaways and writing racist graffiti isn't patriotism; perfomatively sitting in front of a flag or tying one to a mosque isn't patriotism; Patriotism is about making this country safe, happy productive for all.
There’s a persistent myth that new solar farms don’t really help tackle climate change because panels are “made with coal” and “never pay back” their carbon debt. This is simply false. - UN: solar ~8x cleaner than gas, ~19x than coal per kWh - panels repay CO2 in 4 months; save 57x over life
Is this the best presenter the BBC can get for what used to be a watchable programme. Poor questions and questioning style.
I just don’t think it’s unreasonable to say the public should be worried when a former senior Labour MP, who famously helped General Augusto Pinochet evade facing trial for crimes against humanity including torture, argues that Britain should ‘decouple’ from the European Convention on Human Rights.
This is a billionaire-funded Tony Blair lobbying project being funnelled unchallenged onto the front page of a national newspaper. 1/
This shows the US is becoming increasingly isolated over events in Gaza. 14 current members of the UN Security Council issued a joint statement on Gaza, with ONLY the US not being part of it. The statement includes clear demands for actions to get more aid in & for Israel to stop operations.
It was The Mail that essentially led the "Fifth Column scare" which whipped up fear against people ... often young men... who had fled Naziism and it led to thousands being deported or interned.. If you're interested in learning more of this terrible story it features in my latest book NOTORIOUS
"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
"The numbers arriving so far this month have been the lowest in August since 2021" - The Times mentions in the 24th paragraph of its front-page splash something which few people in the print, broadcast and online newsrooms of the UK are aware of www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...
Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?
It’s hard not to read it as agitation for riots honestly. It’s deeply disturbing that the press are so active a participant in this movement.
“So now do you see why books are hated and feared? They show the pores in the face of life. The comfortable people want only wax moon faces, poreless, hairless, expressionless.” Ray Bradbury
Trump doesn't seem to see that some people are still immune to his threats. Jack White criticized Trump's Oval Office decor. The White House then called White a "washed-up, has-been loser... masquerading as a real artist." And White, undeterred, posted an absolutely blistering takedown in response.
Migrants can't answer back. They have no voice. So they make the perfect scapegoat for the pent-up rage of the angry, self-loathing far right who can unite around this issue. In addition it gives the media something to write about in the long summer recess. That is what is really going on here.
Wondering if Curtis Yarvin speaking at a middle class festival in London with a host of mainstream figures is some kind of joke.

Why is the BBC apologising for one of its contributors making this entirely accurate description of Robert Jenrick and his actions? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all: “If this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.” Israel just killed him.
As the Gaza famine death toll rises, UK imports of Israeli fruit and veg have soared - £51.3m in just three months, up from £29.1m. While Palestinians starve, Israel’s agricultural exports to Britain are booming. Full story by ‘Slicker’ in the latest issue.
18,500 children have been killed by the Israeli military in Gaza. Despite these war crimes, the US has provided more than $22 BILLION for the war. Our taxpayer dollars are being used to starve children, bomb schools & gun down hungry people as they wait for aid.
“Until now, I have tried to deflect and defend when challenged to call this genocide. I have, however, been persuaded rationally by legal and scholarly arguments that international courts will one day find that Israel has broken the international genocide convention.” www.jta.org/2025/08/04/u...
This is amongst the most impactful two minutes of broadcasting I’ve ever seen. By Emma Murphy, International Editor, ITV News. #Gaza
Important reporting from Gaza:
There is a growing violent movement which senior politicians and media organisations are now not only seeking to justify, but actively encouraging. Why it's time for politicians to instead start standing up to the wholly illegitimate concerns of the far right www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/illegitima...
Funny how "legitimate concerns" are always those of a far-right minority The concerns of the communities at the sharp end or that of the many more opposing the far right are just incoherent noise As always, the mainstreaming of far-right politics is a top-down, mainstream-driven affair
Henley & Partners’ wealth migration reports have been reported all over the world, both to prove both that there's a massive exodus of wealth from the UK and that there isn't. Our forensic review finds the data riddled with anomalies - and in key places looks fabricated:
Gaza is starving. Gaza is being internationally starved. When people go to the few places where food is being distributed, the IDF mows them down. www.bbc.com/news/article...
🚨 RIGHT NOW opposite Labour Party HQ in London. We’ve turned their street into Jabaliya camp in Gaza. A genocide is happening, but the Labour government is supplying weapons, intelligence and diplomatic cover to the perpetrator. Protesting this is not terrorism.
It's utterly mad. These people are the opposite of terrorists. THEY WANT PEACE. The police know they're not terrorists. The government knows they're not terrorists. Yet, on the Home Secretary's orders, they're being arrested under the Terrorism Act. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...
