Suella Braverman selling 106 copies of her book after all that publicity is so delicious.
Crack 'em while you can, though, because Suella's star might just be on the skids. Despite plugging her book on Question Time, on Tim Shipman's Spectator podcast, in serialised excerpts in the Daily Mail, and in a fawning interview with Allison Pearson in the Telegraph, in its opening weekend, Patriot sold precisely 106 copies.

Dear tv and radio producers. Thankyou for the invitation. But, no, I do not want to appear on your show to defend the idea that I am English, after 50 years of living and working here, because the increasingly feral right want to turn this into a "debate" and you cannot see how you're being played

Lisa✨ @lisatwit.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
Religious belief is a protected characteristic, the Green Party is an organisation where members of the public should rightly expect to participate without discrimination, and the provision to protect Jewish Green members who attend synagogue from being removed from the party was voted against..

Interested as an observer of this ‘Zionism is Racism’ mess with the Greens, would the Jewish community be able to bring a case for discrimination under the Equality Act?

What happened to you and your cameraman there just shows why the idea that Jewish people can ‘pass’ without discrimination or antisemitic abuse is a ridiculous one. I’m so sorry that happened, it’ just vile 😢

❌ Myth: Immigration is a spiralling crisis, with “millions” of people “invading” the UK. ✅ Fact: Immigration isn’t soaring, it’s actually falling. It dropped 20% in 2025 and net migration nearly halved, from 331,000 to 171,000 (ONS). Small boats are only around 5% of it.

❌ Myth: Police run a “two-tier” system that treats white Britons more harshly than ethnic minorities. ✅ Fact: The “two-tier policing” thing is the wrong way round. Black people in England and Wales are 3.8 times more likely to be stopped and searched than white people (Home Office).

So Reform have launched an app that tracks small boats arriving in the UK in real time, and already their supporters are complaining that it's boring because there are hardly any boats. They are SO close to getting it.

Just look at the glee on Nigel Farage’s face as he watches a Piddington resident cry about the overt racism she, her Caribbean heritage husband, and their two children have felt in the village during the referendum. Time and again he’s showing us exactly who he is.

UK unions split over donations cap as TUC chief says ‘super-rich’ corrupting politics
Sources say there are ‘significant differences’ in opinion as debate inflamed by crypto billionaires’ £72m donations to Reform * UK politics live – latest updates The head of Britain’s trade union movement, Paul Nowak, has said the government must act to “stop the super-rich corrupting our politics”, as union leaders met on Monday to discuss possible support for a domestic cap on donations. Union leaders are split on the prospect of limiting domestic donations to political parties, with many including the GMB fearing it would lead a future rightwing government to curb union donations.
