New cartoon: The RNLI
Cartoon titled “The RNLI: Some of the people they help,” showing six scenarios involving people rescued by the RNLI. Including a man caught by the tide, a YouTuber swimming without preparation, a middle-lane driver, a neighbour with different political opinions, a superyacht owner who forgot to refuel, and people crossing the Channel in a small boat. The final caption reads, “All human beings – all deserve saving.”

Party that wants to retrospectively change rules so as to remove migrants also says retrospective rules on party funding are "dictatorship tactics".

Seems the difference between ‘protestors’ and ‘terrorists’ is that protestors wear balaclavas while terrorists hold placards.

Nigel Farage suggests the police advised him against attending the result of the Clacton by-election. Essex Police completely deny this, telling the BBC "we have a proportionate and robust policing operation to ensure the safety and security of all participants in the count"

GOOD MORNING. Andy Burnham has triumphed in Makerfield. Nigel Farage has been brutally humiliated. The sun is shining and the world is a beautiful place iandunt.substack.com/p/triumph-in...

Racist politicians whip up racist outrage. Widespread disorder ensues. The courts treat widespread disorder with the severity that they have always treated widespread disorder. Racist politicians cry “two-tier justice”, whipping up racist outrage. Rinse. Repeat. It’s so fucking tedious.

It's the UK local elections this Thursday, 7 May. Please vote if you can.
Cartoon showing six numbered doors, with windows next to each. Six people are visible, saying the following things:

“I can’t be bothered to vote”
“My vote doesn’t count in any case”
“I don’t see the point in voting to be honest”
“What difference would my vote make?”
“My vote wouldn’t change anything anyway”
(With ‘Vote extremist party’ poster in the window) “I’ll be voting”

NEW: Richard Tice failed to pay almost £100,000 in corporation tax, benefiting his investment company which made large donations to Reform UK. First time Reform's deputy leader's tax affairs can be directly linked to finances of Nigel Farage's party.

So it turns out the real scandal of the Gorton and Denton by-election was the willingness of media organisations to collude in Nigel Farage's attempt to undermine the result of a free and fair election www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/how-the-bb...

Too late as always. The propaganda effect is complete. Thousands of voters will believe that Muslim men’s coercion swung the vote and corrupted “our” democracy because false allegations were reported. This is how right-leaning media have rolled the pitch for Reform. news.sky.com/story/politi...

You may recall the serious allegations by Reform about voting offences at the Gorton and Denton by-election. This detailed thread sets out what happened next. All too late, and this won’t get the same circulation as the original allegations.

So I started looking into this to outline the conspiracy theory. But what I found was a genuinely beautiful piece of practical idealism. A small, attainable progressive change that would hugely improve people's lives. I was inspired by it.

Hate-filled fake videos about London are everywhere. We've obtained a recording of a TikToker confessing to secretly filming Londoners in their homes for clicks. He says it's not political. He just wants to make money from far-right anger. Read what he says: www.londoncentric.media/p/london-tik...

If this was any other party it would be parroted so much that it would haunt them and come to define them. Now then what will the approach of our broadcast media be to this? Will we be talking about it this time next week? www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

These false beliefs do not arise in a vacuum. Yet we seem collectively incurious about their origins.

The Reform UK member of the London Assembly, Alex Wilson, mourned the killing of US political campaigner Charlie Kirk. However, he mocks the need of the Mayor of London for high security protection in the response to constant threats of violence against him. #reform #london

Rayner is gone so where is the media outrage at Farage and his taxing dodging scams? Home bought in his partners name avoiding stamp duty, GB News pay via a company to avoid 40% tax rate on his 92k pay from them.

Possible causes of your problems. It’s a diagram that (sadly) still seems relevant in 2025, so reposting a year and a bit on.
Diagram titled 'Possible causes of your problems'. On the left hand side, subtitled 'Yes': Funding removed from local councils, growing gap between rich and poor, multinational companies not paying their taxes, lack of new affordable housing, government not investing sufficiently in schools and healthcare. On the right hand side, subtitled 'No': Picture of small boat, with arrow; 'People fleeing horrific situations that you and I can't imagine'.

There’s a lot of people right across the UK who want the Reform propaganda fest to end & all our parties to get regular broadcast coverage. LibDems, Greens, Scots Nats, Plaid, Tories &Labour voters have had enough of the overplatforming. Join them Add your name petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...
