To be clear on what that whole Brexit debacle was: the Sun and the Mail ambushed David Cameron because he was stupid enough to offer them what they wanted. We then argued about it for three years and eventually, our political/media class decided that Johnson and hard Brexit was best *for them*.

The quote I shared several times on air tonight….
Historian of fascism here. This is an escalation of an attempt to normalize extreme violence, ritualize violence, militarize the country, and make violence entertaining so when they ask you to commit violence in their name, you will be ready.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

The Daily Mail reports on 3 Oct that the couple had split. It then reported on 10 Oct that Dr Lola Salem is facing trial and had been suspended but, of course, they didn’t mention that she had recently split with Gove. It’s a total disgrace, they and their fellow lynch mob hounded Jason Arday.

15 outlets published 249 articles about Jason Arday, but there appears to be a partial media blackout regarding Dr Lola Salem, Michael Gove's ex-girlfriend, who has been suspended from Oxford University after being charged with possessing indecent images of children. jamradio.uk/news/2026/10...

Everything about our society is now designed to result in worse economic and life outcomes. Regulators that are intrinsically corrupt and incompetent are a key part of the problem they complain about. Ofsted, Ofgen, Ofwat, Ofcom - you name it, they’ve fucked it.

With respect, I have to point out that *it did* happen here: we have already proven that our politicians and media outlets can successfully sell World War II-level crimes against humanity to the public. Not only have they already done it, but they ran successful hate campaigns to support it.

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

Alex is far from the only British commentator who plainly believes e.g. the destruction of the Gaza Strip and the ethnic cleansing of southern Lebanon are a valiant battle by regrettably fascist white heroes against the black horde of Mordor. But how did this wildly extreme position become dominant?

UAE officials have warned the UK government that the severity of Man City's punishment could undermine their appetite for future grand-scale commitments in Britain, according to people familiar with the matter
They consider the Premier League's actions to have an influence on the bilateral state relationship, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing undisclosed information
The extraordinary pressure comes after Andy Burnham faced criticism, including from within government, for saying Man City's Abu Dhabi owners should not be disqualified specifically because of the investment they bring to Britain

I've been a member of the lobby for well over a decade. Not a single one of my lobby colleagues has said a word about the Conservatives banning me from their conferences, without any explanation. Contrast with the US where even Fox News stood in solidarity when Trump banned news outlets he disliked
