Trump has dropped his $10bn charge against the BBC after he was told he would have to give the BBC his Financial Records. Not suspicious at all...

An excellent read. The study of history is under attack in the UK, yet the subject and its analytical techniques remain vital to a better understanding of both the past and the present.

On the one hand I am glad that Sunak is saying this, on the other hand I am sad that he has to do so. This country is heading towards a very dark place.

🚨 GORDON BROWN: GET BIG MONEY OUT OF UK POLITICS News this weekend of Reform receiving pledges for £72m in donations from just two crypto-billionaires is a watershed moment in UK politics. No cap on donations leaves our democracy for sale to the highest bidder. 🔗Full article in link below ⤵️

Britains far-right Reform Party favors unregulated crypto. Now they're proposing large tax breaks for the most wealthy. Meanwhile, two crypto billionaires have just controversially gifted £72 million to Reform. 'Vote Reform for the best government money can buy' might be an apt election slogan 🤑

It was a very bad day for UK democracy today. We desperately need a cap on political donations, but Burnham seems like a rabbit caught in the headlights. The Fagash Fuhrer will use all this additional money to bombard & saturate the public with populist Trump-style nonsense.

Another strategic error by Burnham, to not include a cap on donations in the recent overhaul of electoral law. It’s almost like Labour doesn’t have a clue after 36 years of prostrating themselves to the City.

The Fagash Fuhrer's special guest of honour at the Reform conference was Jordan Bardella, of Le Pen's National Rally (the renamed National Front). On Saturday morning, interviewed on BBC Radio 4, Bardella openly espoused the Great Replacement theory, the favourite thesis of the far right.

From his lanyard, it’s clear that the Reform UK member who assaulted two female protestors at the party’s conference is Stephen Cooling of Sutton Coldfield. I assume @westmidlandspolice.bsky.social are on the case? He ought to be easy to find, as he stood for UKIP in the May 2016 local elections.

Now that the Fagash Fuhrer has been sworn in as an MP again, I doubt he will attend Parliament more regularly. He'll quickly slip back into his bad old habits, hosting his TV slot, jetting off to the USA to see his mates, trousering yet more dodgy external income, and shortchanging his constituents.

Somehow, right-wing Christian culture warriors are still obsessed with "witches, warlocks, and sorcery."
One Million Moms needs your help in making others aware of Disney’s continuing agenda that pushes witchcraft on families, particularly tweens and teens, in the upcoming series Coven Academy. Rated PG-V, this dark series premieres October 1 on Freeform channel; the full season will be available the next day on Disney+, Hulu, and Freeform on Demand.

 

Once again, Disney embraces the world of witches, warlocks, and sorcery while filling young minds with secular worldviews that reflect the current culture.

The Fagash Fuhrer has been playing the 'race card' yet again because its about the only thing he thinks he's bound to get publicity for. However, there are good signs it's not going to plan: journalists are now more interested in his financial shenanigans (at last).
