Never stop talking about the Epstein Files regardless of what happens or whatever BB disastrous distraction the demented, malignant narciscisstic, orange felon deliberately creates!

"So tell me Mr Farage, what was it about a system favoured by money launderers that allows donations to be totally untraceable that first attracted you to crypto?"

Brexit has taken up so much time, energy and resource to achieve the square root of fuck all. And now we’re trapped by it because no one has the guts to say how shit it is and how we need to get over ourselves and engage effectively with the EU again. It’s unforgivably tedious.

How the BBC and Daily Mail Spread Reform's ‘Family Voting’ Lies
The real scandal of the Gorton and Denton by-election was the willingness of media organisations to collude in Nigel Farage's attempt to undermine the result of a free and fair election

A crypto investor just donated £9 million to the Reform Party. Right now, billionaires can pour unlimited money into our elections, effectively buying our democracy. Think that's wrong? Add your name to call for a cap on donations today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ta...

Absolutely amazing chart from @peterkellner.bsky.social's piece in @thenewworldmag.bsky.social today: www.thenewworld.co.uk/peter-kellne...
A flow chart shows 17.4 million leave voters in 2016, vs 16.1m remain. In 2025, 5 million of those people have died, and 3 million new voters have come of age.

The result (plus some people changing their mind) is 19.8 million voters now back rejoin, versus just 11.7 million wanting to stay out.

Watched BBC 6 o clock news. Just a completely unserious broadcast. Chris Mason, acting like a children's entertainer, giving a prolonged impenetrable editorial. Not a whiff of informative content about the Budget or what it means for the country. Just playschool blah blah bollocks.

Nearly two years ago, I wrote about the extraordinary influence of former Tory spin doctor Sir Robbie Gibb on the BBC. It's still a helpful backgrounder for what's going on now. New readers start here: www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/media/...

How the government captured the BBC
A right-wing cabal, largely unaccountable, is waging war on the principles that made our public broadcaster great. It must not succeed

Asylum seekers, housed in hotels in Manchester, are reaching out in their own words to address the concerns of the local community. Please take a minute to read their letter, & share it with the people in your life who need to hear the truth about the people they are protesting.

Refugee Action @refugeeaction.bsky.social · 29/10/2025
Hey Keir Starmer, get the memo? We’ve delivered thousands of messages to Number 10 from our supporters, with the help of some digi-vans! People are fed up with politicians choosing failed policies and scapegoating over investing in all communities. Time for real change.

START FIXING BRITAIN." drives past Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament on a sunny day.Four activists wearing Refugee Action t-shirts stand in front of 10 Downing Street, holding signs that support refugee rights in the UK.A truck displaying a digital billboard with the message "Everyone needs a safe place to live.

Justice for the Covid Bereaved isn't just about learning lessons. It's about ensuring all those who were negligent or corrupt are held accountable. That includes criminal charges for those who profited at the expense of public health. We look forward to more arrests.

A breach of international law, a breach of the refugee convention & latest evidence Keir Starmer’s government has adopted a hardline “hostile environment” stance on asylum to fight off a poll surge by Nigel Farage’s Reform UK. Labour need to be better than this www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Why is the government happy to cosy up to China, but won't even look at a better customs deal with our closest neighbours in Europe? Ministers say they’re looking everywhere for growth but are ignoring what is staring them in the face.
