Peter Jukes @peterjukes.bsky.social · 17hSo Trump not only disarmed Ukraine by removing the Starlink/Starshield capability with defensive drones (the system only operates in Ukraine), he blinded it too with withholding advanced warnings of Russian missile attacks. How evil, cowardly and craven. Is Kash Patel still in Moscow 27570232
Peter Jukes @peterjukes.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Was that the same security services you dumped to visit ‘ex’ KGB colonel Alexander Lebedev and party in Umbria just after the Novichok Salisbury attack? Or the same security services whose advice you defied to put his son Evgeny in the House of Lords? Those security services? 941273479
Peter Jukes @peterjukes.bsky.social · 12/10/2026God. Since @carolecadwalla.bsky.social left it, even the @theguardian.com gets it wrong. There weren’t just four meetings between Banks/Leave EU and Kremlin officials during Brexit: the judge in the libel case concluded at least a dozen 3398163
Peter Jukes @peterjukes.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Trump’s last desperate gambit (and Putin’s) now that POTUS has wrecked his voters with a failed war on Iran, and the Ukrainians are wrecking the Russian economy and pushing their front lines back 811746
Peter Jukes @peterjukes.bsky.social · 10/10/2026More AI propaganda: Grok refuses to confirm this picture is real, when it very much is 310852
Peter Jukes @peterjukes.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Look at the graph of US support for Ukraine, and how it disappeared when Trump entered his second term. The Russia hoax was never a hoax 44613278
Peter Jukes @peterjukes.bsky.social · 10/10/2026This has got to be one of my favourite Grok replies after it blamed Ukraine for the Russian invasion. After allegations of intellectual theft, Musk’s LLM is asked does it paraphrase user data? Grok goes…. No, blah blah blah blah, actually yes 1478
Peter Jukes @peterjukes.bsky.social · 08/10/2026See how much of the value of the US stock market (and therefore the pension funds of millions of Americans) is predicated on the AI tech bubble. When that pops…. 53818
Peter Jukes @peterjukes.bsky.social · 06/10/2026If The Times’ political editor didn’t challenge Kemi Badenoch on her banning of @bylinetimes.bsky.social can the newspaper of record just make this simple correction? 6312117
Peter Jukes @peterjukes.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Why you can’t trust Grok - or any other LLM which basically tells you what you want to hear and amplifies online echo chambers 39422140
Peter Jukes @peterjukes.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Yes, looks like it was so embarrassing Lord Hannan had the Spectator delete i 4325
Peter Jukes @peterjukes.bsky.social · 30/09/2026New Mystic Meg prediction by Daniel Hannan who famously predicted the ‘blue eyed Sheikhs’ of Iceland Banking would would save us in 2004, Brexit Britain would be booming in 2026, and that Covid wouldn’t kill anyone in 2020 In other words, we will be rejoining the EU 50617107
Peter Jukes @peterjukes.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Doesn’t exist. Though Orr seems to think it does 4377
Peter Jukes @peterjukes.bsky.social · 03/09/2026As someone else has pointed out, Professor James Orr spent 4 years at Oxford's McDonald Centre for Theology, Ethics & Public Life as a postdoc fellow. Of the Ten Commandments, I think the 8th - "thou shalt not bear false witness" - is broken here, but also 1, 7, 9 and 10 are in play 1118442
Peter Jukes @peterjukes.bsky.social · 03/09/2026More ethics and philosophy lessons from the Associate Professor of Divinity at Cambridge University. No, it's not about transubstantiation or the Last Supper, but how much a foreign money man needs to pay to lunch with Nigel Farage 810844
Peter Jukes @peterjukes.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Just a reminder, Professor James Orr, Reform UK head of policy, teaches 'ethics' to undergraduates at Cambridge University youtu.be/aXut3s90rUI 20736011429
Peter Jukes @peterjukes.bsky.social · 27/08/2026On @helenlewis.bsky.social churlish undergraduate takedown of @nafeez.bsky.social's piece on Arday, she cherry-picks one rebuttal (out of many) about fundraising. With allegations about faking marathons fading, how does she know he didn't help raise 250K per annum? bylinetimes.com/2026/08/18/t... 44714
Peter Jukes @peterjukes.bsky.social · 25/08/2026So being trolled on the other place for defending Jason Arday. By none other than former Sun deputy editor John Sturgis. These are the kind of people who hacked Milly Dowler's phone. From the particulars of claim, Murdoch settled with millions earlier this year 817836
Peter Jukes @peterjukes.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Let’s just make this plain as day. 90% of the British press — including the FT, Private Eye, Guardian, Times, Telegraph even the BBC — have “put feelings before facts”. The question is, why? 1519450
Peter Jukes @peterjukes.bsky.social · 23/08/2026And other find from @monkemma.bsky.social: Arday blogged all those marathons in real time. I can’t remember the dozens of journalists who told me there’s no evidence he ran them. Are any of you big enough — or good enough journalists — to correct your error? 12420131
Peter Jukes @peterjukes.bsky.social · 22/08/2026What makes people so god damn sure of themselves 107414
Peter Jukes @peterjukes.bsky.social · 22/08/2026The Scotus results for Jason Arday and the two academics who spent three years targeting him 35619
Peter Jukes @peterjukes.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Private Eye going all the way with lurid Arday comparisons — Jeffrey Archer, Mohamed Fayed? And since when is a putative ‘pitch document’ the same as “put in the public domain”? 43910
Peter Jukes @peterjukes.bsky.social · 17/08/2026It was a hit job. A character assassination of a rather brilliant and charismatic young man, out of pure spite and jealousy. We know the story. Herman Melville wrote it (thank goodness no relation to James). Billy Budd. And it explains the extreme cruelty better than anything 59623
Peter Jukes @peterjukes.bsky.social · 16/08/2026So I've just found this letter in defence of Nathan Cofnas, from a bunch of academics supporting 'free speech'. None of them, as far as I can see, defended Jason Arday's rights to life, privacy and free expression. Racist eugenicists get a special pass www.thetimes.com/comment/lett... 515052
Peter Jukes @peterjukes.bsky.social · 16/08/2026Just to note, Toby Young and James Orr’s Free Speech Union paid the legal bills for this guy who plans to be a future ‘Professor of Eugenics and Race Science’ after ‘the revolution’ Young himself supported ‘progressive eugenics’. They’re not even hiding their fact free racism 50692333
Peter Jukes @peterjukes.bsky.social · 16/08/2026The gall of these people. The bile. The vitriol. Our media is steeped in toxic hatefulness 96926218
Peter Jukes @peterjukes.bsky.social · 15/08/2026I’ve had some media attacks in the past, and thank goodness I’ve managed to contain suicidal thoughts since my late 30s. But this - including Novara, Guardian and Channel 4 News by the end — would have probably finished me off 28458128
Peter Jukes @peterjukes.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Wootton, who indisputably used fake make and female identities to catfish third parties, still claims that @bylinetimes.bsky.social was trying to hound him to death, while we actually reported our concerns to the police. And he called our welfare check a privacy intrusion @narindertweets 1114727
Peter Jukes @peterjukes.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Jason Arday’s nemesis, Nathan Cofnas, sacked from his Cambridge job for articles like this Under a colour blind system of course, people of colour would not have been subject to centuries of slavery, segregation, genocide, and denial of access to healthcare and education 37421125
Peter Jukes @peterjukes.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Not often do I retweet Andrew Neil approvingly - but Jason Arday was a mutable, imperfect, and ultimately fragile human being. We can all change. We can all atone and improve. Until we can't - with the great big full stop of death My first ever comment on Jason Arday: RIP 2759999
Peter Jukes @peterjukes.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Two of these people around Farage were in and out of the Russian Embassy discussing Gold and Diamond deals. The third has been sentenced to over 10 years in prison for taking Kremlin Gold. How does anyone believe Nigel didn’t know? 43998474
Peter Jukes @peterjukes.bsky.social · 09/08/2026This is what Farage and Johnson’s xenophobic Reform and Conservative Brexit campaigns actually did to UK migration. At every point they use their failures as an excuse for the next disaster 9265153
Peter Jukes @peterjukes.bsky.social · 08/08/2026The old ‘hacking’ excuse from Banks, which he tried to use on me and @carolecadwalla.bsky.social when we obtained emails of his many visits to the Russian embassy to talk gold and diamond deals with Kremlin officials. He knew it wasn’t true then, and isn’t now 23515223
Peter Jukes @peterjukes.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Don’t know if this is a real Banksy - but I hope it is 301391308
Peter Jukes @peterjukes.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Being good at pool or snooker used to be dismissed as the sign of misspent youth. I don’t know what this is a sign of… but every morning I can tell if I’ve misspent the night before by how quickly I finish Spelling Bee 8392
Peter Jukes @peterjukes.bsky.social · 01/08/2026Great story from the Sunday Times, but credit where credit it due. It’s worth adding to this section, “whom Cottrell first meet as a teenager” as @bylinetimes.bsky.social first revealed. More here on Cottrell’s early years from @nafeez.bsky.social bylinetimes.com/2026/07/23/p... 621773
Peter Jukes @peterjukes.bsky.social · 30/07/2026Just so you know how key Cottrell was to the formation of Reform UK 13382226
Peter Jukes @peterjukes.bsky.social · 25/07/2026While journalism is often hard and challenging, it’s much less so with these guys @bylinetimes.bsky.social #Womad 49110
Peter Jukes @peterjukes.bsky.social · 20/07/2026Conspiracy? 🤔 Worth adding to the record that we discovered later, through the emails of another CA exec Brittany Kaiser, that Andrew Neil’s bosses, the Barclay Brothers, were invited to a briefing in November 2015 about what Cambridge Analytica could do for Farage’s Leave EU 221796
Peter Jukes @peterjukes.bsky.social · 16/07/2026Lovely funeral for the great late lamented David Hencke - so loved and admired and generous to a fault 1706
Peter Jukes @peterjukes.bsky.social · 14/07/2026Long, long time ago, I cautioned my gender critical feminist friends that using biology as a backstop would misfire, and engender all kinds of reactionary absolutism… And lo and behold 2014639
Peter Jukes @peterjukes.bsky.social · 13/07/2026I thought Dan Hannan’s analysis of Count Binface’s manifesto was another spoof by @ottoenglish.bsky.social But it’s genuine. Genuine comedy. Pure gold 55616101
