I've always felt that Johnson and Farage put self-interest over the national interest - hence their dallying with Putin and his oligarchs. But directly colluding with a foreign government to take down the BBC feels like an act of supreme treachery

Gibb describes himself as a “Thatcherite Conservative” and was an editorial adviser for GB News before its launch. This graphic is a couple of years old, nearly, but it gives a sense of the web of influence.

Reform’s only Black local chairman, Neville Watson, has quit, saying he couldn’t stand the party’s tone and language on immigration. Watson, who chaired the Edmonton & Winchmore Hill branch, told reporters the rhetoric was “nasty” and “not what Britain needs.” Another one walks out… 🫠

Rather amusing to watch the British and political media establishment tear itself apart over fear of insulting Trump just at the same time as Trump's myth of invincibility is falling apart in America

City of London lawyer Andrew Milne bought up hundreds of freeholds on homes across Sheffield before advising leaseholders that, if they didn’t pay him exorbitant sums (upwards of £25,000), he’d see them in court. Well done @sheffieldtribune.bsky.social @joshiherrmann.bsky.social for exposing this.

NEW Trying to make sense of the nonsensical decision to drop the Chinese spying prosecutions How the positions of neither the CPS nor the government stand up to scrutiny By me emptycity.substack.com/p/trying-to-...
The more one knows about this case, the more confusing it becomes.

The CPS insists on further evidence it does not require, and the government insists it could not give that evidence, even though it could.

Neither side makes sense, and together they make no sense absolutely.

So can she please explain why the Chinese Nuclear Group was still involved with the Hinkley nuclear power plant project a full two years later - nine months even after Cash and Berry were arrested? 🤨
