If I had a child at school, they would not be singing the national anthem. What exactly does "forced to sing the national anthem" mean? Are Reform planning to waterboard children until they comply with this fascist edict?

Braverman said under a Reform government, schoolchildren will be forced to sing the national anthem and “our great hymns”.

The Tice conundrum - Pollution was masking the heating effect of global warming, that must mean clean air is the cause of higher temperatures not CO2. God this man is stupid.

Screenshot of a post on X by Reform UK MP Richard Tice claiming that “Net Stupid Zero” is contributing to rising temperatures and that “cleaner air = higher temps, not CO2,” concluding that “we have been gaslit and lied to.” The post quotes a Telegraph headline stating that Britain’s recent heatwaves are being driven in part by cleaner skies after air pollution was reduced.

This is US Trumpian politics polluting our discourse.

Screenshot of a post by the account Stand Up To Marxism claiming that counter-extremism efforts have focused on the far right and Islamism while the far left has gone unchecked. It argues that Marxism, communism and Leninist revolutionary socialism are illegitimate political views with no place in Western democratic societies.

Screenshot of a post by Matt Goodwin stating that he is “sick of left-wing extremism” and claiming that the left is more likely than the right to support violence and harassment against political opponents.

This was from this week’s Spectator, those percentages should concern any parent. What the hell are 3-5 year olds doing with mobile phones!

A newspaper infographic titled “Screening” reports levels of social media use among children in the UK, citing Ofcom. It states that Sir Keir Starmer was expected to announce a ban on social media for under-16s and asks how many children currently use it. The figures shown are: 37% of 3–5-year-olds use social media (19% have their own phone); 36% of 6–7-year-olds (30% have their own phone); 57% of 8–9-year-olds (69%); 81% of 10–12-year-olds (86%); and 95% of 13–15-year-olds (97%). The percentages in brackets refer to children who have their own phone. Source: Ofcom.

Yes Charlie, you are an extremist, and this country would be better off without you

Screenshot of an X (Twitter) exchange. Charlie Downes (@cfdownes_) posts: “If fighting against the systemic exploitation, rape, and murder of our people makes us ‘extremists’, so be it.” He is replying to Zack Polanski (@ZackPolanski), whose post reads: “This is the kind of thing that was said about the Jews in the 1930s. It is not hyperbolic to say that degrading an entire culture leads us to a very dark…” The Polanski post is truncated. Downes’s post has 236 retweets, 2,000 likes, and 24,000 views.

X may present itself as a social media platform, but it functions as the most sophisticated far-right recruitment tool ever devised. This was posted today by a British fascist.

Screenshot of an X post by Kai Stephens. The post argues that anti-white prejudice is dangerous because white Britons are becoming more racially conscious. It then calls for extreme collective punishment against migrants and grooming gang perpetrators, including deportations, asset seizure, and “killing fields that would make Hirohito blush in envy.” The post claims worsening demographics will make native Britons more racially conscious and angry, and concludes by contrasting the actions of “third worlders” with Europeans, asserting that Europeans “wipe out entire civilisations and radically alter the course of history.” The post contains racist language and advocacy of mass violence.

Screenshot of a continuation of an X post by Kai Stephens. The post claims that white people are the “most capable, creative, and destructive race” and says that white racial consciousness should be feared. It states that this is “not incitement” but a statement of fact. The post predicts future conflict if “racially conscious Brits” lose faith in electoral politics or if more native Britons are victimised by what it calls “third world savages.” It argues that “remigration” is the only solution and encourages even foreigners to support it. Below the text is a quoted post from The Economist⁠ linking to an article about anti-white prejudice in British politics and the murder of Henry Nowak. The post contains racist language, racial supremacist themes, and suggestions of future ethnic conflict.

“punishing the children for the sin of the parents” – Exodus 20:5. The guilt runs downward in the original. Lowe is running it upward: the son committed murder, therefore the parents’ visas become retrospective proof that they never should have been here at all.

Screenshot of a Facebook post by verified account Rupert Lowe. The post reads: “On April 13th, I asked the Home Office what visa categories were held by the parents of Axel Rudakubana during their residence in the United Kingdom; and what character-assessment checks were applied when issuing their visas. No response… I am pushing again.” The post shows it was made six hours ago and has around 10,000 reactions, 628 comments, and 283 shares.

The case for Green withdrawal from Makerfield is not a tactical voting argument. Tactical voting asks voters to redirect support. This asks for the removal of an option before the ballot exists. The risk is eliminated by ensuring there is nothing to split the vote with. New post drops tomorrow.

The importation of American constitutional rhetoric into the British nationalist sphere is a calculated performance, not a cultural accident. When Toms invokes the "right to bear arms," he signals a shift from traditional British political discourse toward an atomised, paramilitary individualism. 🧵

I have been watching him on X, membership of his National Rebirth Party is tiny. The membership seem to all like LARPing 1930s fascism. Their 20 point plan is almost that NSDAP’s 25-Point Programme from 1920

This isn’t media criticism. It’s a threat. Restore Britain gets scrutinised by journalists. Lowe’s response isn’t to address what they found — it’s to announce that a Restore Britain government would destroy the institution that looked. It wouldn’t end with the BBC. It never does.

Restore Britain Facebook post, posted two hours ago, reading: “The BBC is attacking Restore Britain, again. For the avoidance of any doubt - a Restore Britain Government would defund the rotting BBC and let it collapse under its own arrogance.” The post has 4,200 likes and reactions, 298 comments, and 91 shares.

Here we have the National Rebirth Party, doing its best impression of 1936.

Nine men pose formally on a stage, arranged in two rows, most dressed in suits and ties. One man on the left wears a black leather jacket, and another on the right wears a white shirt with a loosened tie. Behind them are several red, white, and blue flags with a central symbol. The group faces the camera with serious expressions, standing against a dark curtain backdrop.Think cosplaying Oswald

Worth tracking language like “mogging.” It comes out of manosphere subcultures and means dominating or humiliating others through displays of superiority. When that vocabulary shows up with Restore Britain activists, it’s a signal.

Screenshot of a social media post by an account called Angloid stating, “This is why mogging is so important. They call us names, but we mog them to death. Brutal.” Below is a photo of four men sitting at an outdoor table holding pints of stout, with papers and snacks on the table. A caption beneath the photo identifies one of the men as a Restore Campaigns director pictured with ethnonationalist influencers in Great Yarmouth, dated 18 April 2026.

Read what Benjamin does not say. No condemnation of the slur. No defence of Mahmood. Just a complaint that Gomez has made the movement look bad. The racism is fine. The optics are the problem. That is the tell. 1/2

Screenshot of a post on X by Carl Benjamin (@Sargon_of_Akkad), timestamped two hours ago with 13K views. Benjamin writes: “There is really no need for this kind of unpleasantness. Whatever one’s opinion of Mahmood, this just gives all the ammunition needed to justify the ban, and makes everyone look bad in the process.”
He is quote-tweeting a Telegraph post from five hours earlier which reads: “Valentina Gomez calls Home Secretary a ‘dirty Pakistani Muslim’ after she was denied entry to attend rally organised by Tommy Robinson.” The Telegraph post includes a photograph of Gomez smiling at the camera, wearing sunglasses and a military-style plate carrier with “GOMEZ” printed across the chest, holding an assault rifle in front of a lake and wooded hillside. The Telegraph headline overlaid on the image reads: “Anti-Muslim influencer launches racist attack on Mahmood.“

Two Restore Britain supporters, both in Rupert Lowe’s orbit, discussing on X about what to do with those who are mixed-race. Conversations that once had to be held secretly now held with little to no pushback. So much for the marketplace of ideas.

Screenshot of a thread on X. Top post by Steve Laws, verified account @Steve_Laws_, posted four hours ago: “People like to avoid the mixed race question but here’s a prime example of these people belonging nowhere. We don’t want them and neither do they. Very problematic.” The post quote-tweets an earlier post by the same account: “We don’t want them. They’re yours.” That post in turn quotes a user called Naima, @Naimaintaipei, replying to @eleanorzjames and @MrNChance: “Mixed race people aren’t black at all. We don’t want them to claim black.” The Laws post shows 79 replies, 59 reposts, 928 likes, 16,000 views. Below it, a reply from a verified account called Zoomer, @ZoomerHistorian, posted four hours ago: “A genuinely rootless people, terrible.” The reply shows 6 replies, 3 reposts, 234 likes, 2,500 views.

I pay the tax that is asked of me, I don’t look to avoid paying any of it.

I1 I want to be clear about this on tax.
Richard Tice has obeyed the law. He's filed his accounts on time. He's obeyed the law in every way, and no one pays more tax than they have to. You don't I don't. No one does.
He claims criticism of Tice is unfair, and comes from people who do not undertand how businesses operate.

Reform won the seat, but on a wafer-thin base. 565 votes is less a surge than a symptom of disengagement. The Greens were 36 votes behind, Labour and the Conservatives lagged, and most voters stayed home. This is what politics looks like when apathy meets motivated grievance.

Must have the B team on headline writing duties today at the Daily Mail. Just because you don’t like her, does not make her an extremist. Evidence suggests Israel has behaved like a terrorist state. The missile strike on Qatar is a good example. Hamas ran Gaza so were the civil society of the place.
