At last! Big congrats to all including @carolecadwalla.bsky.social As MP I was proud to join a court case to try to force ministers to hold an inquiry into the impact of Russian disinformation on the Brexit vote & other recent elections - their lack of curiosity, from Boris onwards, was stunning …

Today appears to herald Trump’s version of the Molotov Ribbentrop pact: a grubby political alliance that should cause even his most ardent supporters to pause (but won’t) and which won’t solve any of the problems he has but will definitely lead to more human suffering.

£72 million is more than every UK political party combined accepted in donations and public funds throughout the whole of 2025. It’s more than twice what a party contesting every seat may spend nationally in the year before a general election. This is NOT normal! www.uglypolitix.com/p/two-men-48...

Two men, 48 hours, £72m - What’s the Problem?
Two men gave Reform more in 48 hours than every British party raised in 2025. The Government's answer is a working group with no members, no remit and no timetable.

90 years ago, Parliament responded to the rise of Oswald Mosley's Blackshirts by passing the Public Order Act, which banned political uniforms, private militias and the threat of force for political objects. The debates make very resonant reading today. Here's the Liberal Robert Bernays. (Short 🧵)
You cannot conduct a fair match when one side is playing with a ball and the other with bombs and, if democracy is to survive, it must be conducted according to definite and recognised rule. One of them is that no political party should resort to any weapon other than reason and argument. The introduction of private armies, as I see it, strikes at the root of democracy. I know it is contended that the Blackshirts are not armed and, therefore, are not an army, but I do not think that argument can be upheld. … Uniformed men in military formation suggest, and are meant to suggest, the idea of force. It is no argument to reply that at this or that demonstration no force is intended. It is an inescapable fact that a uniform in politics symbolises force, to be used either now or in the future.
