The utter shamelessness of Kemi Badenoch boasting at Conservative party conference about 'defending press freedom' and berating Reform for banning critical journalists from their conference, just days after banning Byline Times journalists from her own

Thanks again to @mrjamesob.bsky.social for highlighting Kemi Badenoch's banning of journalists she doesn't approve of, which very few other journalists in the country seem willing to mention for some reason inews.co.uk/opinion/bade...

A key point which few have noticed yet... Tory voters have already shifted a lot. Polling shows they back Burnham's pledge to consider closer relations. And a third back joining again. This is a major problem for Badenoch's supposed "recapture the centre" strategy.

If Everton got an 8-point deduction for exceeding the Premier League's spending cap by 19.5 million pounds (or a point for every 2.43 million it overspent), shouldn't Manchester City be docked 370 points for exceeding it by 900 million? (Also, Everton cooperated, unlike City...

900 million hidden over a decade is roughly 100m a year over the time period. Everton were deducted 6 points for a 19million overspend due to Covid financial issue, a miscalculated interest rate and transfer that fell through at last minute. Nothing was hidden & the club cooperated.

Reform UK and Christopher Harborne say the mega-donor crypto billionaire is living in the UK (so the overseas donor cap supposedly won't affect him). Since when? A claim form filed by Harborne in the High Court only this June lists his address as (still) in Bangkok...
Screenshot of the top portion of a UK High Court Claim Form (form N1). Handwritten-style red text at the top left of the header reads "Amended Claim Form under CPR r.17.1(1) dated 9 June 2026", beside the Royal coat of arms and the printed title "Claim Form". To the right, the "In the" field is completed: "In the High Court of Justice, Kings Bench Division, Media and Communications List". The Fee Account number is blacked out; the "Help with Fees – Ref no." boxes are blank. A "For court use only" panel below shows empty Claim no. and Issue date fields.
A blue-shaded note in the middle reads: "You may be able to issue your claim online which may save time and money. Go to www.moneyclaims.service.gov.uk/make-claim to find out more."
Under "Claimant(s) name(s) and address(es) including postcode" is "Christopher Harborne", with two lines of the street address redacted with black marker, followed by "Bangkok 10330, Thailand".
Under "Defendant(s) name and address(es) including postcode" is "Benyamin Naeem Habib"
To the right is a circular court seal reading "High Court of Justice – Queen's Bench Division", stamped "09 Jun 2026", overlapping the word "SEAL". Beneath it, partially cropped, is a case number

Senior UK rabbis come out in support of sanctions on Israeli settlements
Spiritual leaders stress diversity of views within Jewish community and warn against inaction on settler violence Prominent British rabbis have backed Ed Miliband’s sanctions on Israeli settlements, warning that the time for inaction on settler violence must come to an end. The intervention comes after the UK’s chief rabbi, the spiritual leader of mainstream Orthodox Jews in the UK, Sir Ephraim Mirvis, described UK sanctions against illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories as a “dark day for British Jews” and warned they could embolden people who “use hatred as a weapon against Jews”.
