Who would have thought that #Cambridge University's Faculty of Divinity would be a centre of extreme-right extremism, and that the University would so secretive about it. Read about it bylinetimes.com/2026/07/09/p... #fascism

I thought this was an AI mock up because no man would be so monumentally idiotic, insensitive and intrusive as to punish women for not having children…but then it is Reform. Reform are not on yourside. Reform not care about women’s safety. Reform only see us as baby making machines.
Pictured is an absolute clown of a candidate standing for Reform in the Gorton and Denton, Matthew Goodwin. The words “reform will give incentives to women who have more children and penalise those who don’t. Change is coming.”

Every week when I get the bus to my parents' place I pass the turning to the almost-900k house and swimming pool Farage's girlfriend allegedly bought with cash - no mortgage - that he's repeatedly lied about. The press have now happily dropped the issue. I'm getting angrier about it by the day.

A reminder that treating Russian territorial gains as an inevitable outcome is a Kremlin talking point. Since 2014, the Kremlin has pushed this idea that Russia is so powerful and giving up some land is better than giving it all up. It doesn't lead to peace, it leads to pause-and-push land grabs.
