You may recall the serious allegations by Reform about voting offences at the Gorton and Denton by-election. This detailed thread sets out what happened next. All too late, and this won’t get the same circulation as the original allegations.

How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.

Boris Johnson and Suella Braverman are constant reminders of just how deeply unimpressive you can be as a human being and still get incredible power - and how useless and complicit our supposed systems of checking are - I don’t give us long

Oh good. Labour are putting in place the apparatus of repressive state control, just in time to hand the keys over to Reform. What could possibly go wrong?

Enough of this racist fiction. Enough. Not a single non-white person in England is in a job in the NHS *because* they are non-white. Not a single one. And as for the idea that England's criminal justice system goes easy on non-white people because they are non-white. Well. Just think about that.

Jodey Whiting - a 42 year old disabled mum - died in 2017, leaving a note saying she had no money for food. Now, a new inquest has ruled Jodey killed herself after her benefits were “mistakenly stopped by the DWP.” Thoughts to Jodey’s mum who fought for justice. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Bernie Sanders criticises Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg, who own more wealth than 170 million Americans. Adding that the three men standing alongside Trump at the inauguration, that is the definition of an oligarchy

The people of Europe stand with Ukraine against the threat of a false peace as much as brutal war. Because of our shared history. Because of our shared future. Because it is just. Because it is necessary. And because they deserve nothing less. Don't abandon them. #SlavaUkraini youtu.be/u8GftJEa4_8

The Guardian is pushing ahead with its 'sale' of the Observer. But the journalism continues... If you value the Guardian or Observer, I urge you to read this. It's my attempt to investigate 'the money behind the money'. Who is 'buying' us? And why? open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

Who is 'the money behind the money?'

As the Guardian announces the 'sale' of the 233-year-old Observer to Tortoise Media, I wave hello to my new bosses (hi!) with an investigation of their finances.

“I’m dismayed by both the Guardian’s offloading of the Observer, and the way it is being conducted. It does not reflect the values the Guardian promotes, and that all those who have given so much of their lives to these papers hold dear. (1/2)

A stark juxtaposition on BBC radio 4 this morning, with news of relatives searching for loved ones disappeared into the Syrian Gulag next to discussion of how to "smash the smuggling gangs". Objective of UK & EU policy was to conspire to make it as hard as possible for people to escape persecution.

1/ Support today for journalists fighting for the future of The Observer, threatened by The Scott Trust’s plan to sell to Tortoise Media. Tortoise, though respected, is a small, loss-making venture and the sale risks The Observer becoming a stripped-down website behind a paywall. Worse..

I keep coming back to this, if a group of terrorists were hiding out in a maternity hospital full of white Western babies, would we accept firing a missile into the hospital anyway? I don't think we would. It shouldn't be controversial to say that Palestinian children should be valued.
