I do hope this catches on. The rise of the far right isn't inevitable as so much Brexit British media likes to pretend.

List of Tory scandals between 2011-2024

List of Tory scandals between 2011-2024

A reminder to the media and others trying to claim this Government and Starmer are worse than anything they've ever seen, a Government which has only been in power for 19 months. Here's a handly list of the scandals we had to endure from the Tories between 2011-2024.

The Daily Telegraph currently owned by a private equity vehicle RedBird IMI - based in the UAE and led by Italian American Gerry Cardinale and Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

Patriotic news. For patriotic people. Who don't want to pay taxes.

Since #bbclaurak is trending, letโ€™s remind ourselves that ONE MONTH ago, the BBC invited Mandelson on for a soft-ball interview on her show. While HIS CLIENT , Palantirโ€™s Louis Moseley appeared as a pundit

Both, as I wrote at time, were โ€˜abject failures of journalismโ€™

McSweeney going is excellent news. It doesn't fix any problems by itself, but it is the precondition for fixing those problems.

Tech bros and oligarchs have systematically weakened nation states both for profit and for the promotion of absolute freedom for the super rich to live without law.
Voting Reform/Republican just hastens the process.
If you don't want to live as a serf stop voting to be one.

A photo of the front cover of issue 1668 of Private Eye magazine, with the caption โ€œon shelves now.โ€ The main cover line reads โ€œLORD MANDELSON IN DISGRACE.โ€ The central image shows a blurred, photograph of a Mandelson standing indoors wearing a T-shirt and underwear, holding a folder. Surrounding the image are multiple speech bubbles, including: โ€œIโ€™ve let myself down, my party down and my trousers down,โ€ โ€œHeโ€™s going to pay for this โ€“ which makes a change!โ€, โ€œTalk about a cheques offender!โ€, โ€œHe will need some decent briefs!โ€, โ€œTime to strip him of his title as well!โ€, โ€œOh no!

Lord Mandelson in disgrace

The new Private Eye is out now.

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...

Ever moaned about the likes of Laura Kuenssberg? How does this third rate hack better suited for The One Show remain on air? The answer is you, if you obediently tune in every time, week on week.
Or farm the hashtag for likes and or the validation of strangers.
Nothing will change.

Same here, only catch the odd review. He's absolutely spot on with his assessment of this bribe.
Doesn't hold back. This wouldn't have gone out via BBC or Sky etc

The newspapers readership numbers tiny to what they used to be but they still hold sway by media capture of TV. Justin Webb dutifully reads out his sponsors words on r4today. Some people still listen that.

'BBC policy on Brexit is not impartial' Why is the BBC giving so much time to hardline Brexiteers, asks journalist Raymond Snoddy

After the referendum, the BBC chief Lord Hall ordered the BBC to treat Brexit as a done deal, a decision which all but wholly excluded Remainer opinion from the BBC for around 2 years, thus grossly biasing the Brexit debate. It was a grotesque abuse of democracy.

News Agents, you're now playing Nick Fucking Ferrari. Trying my patience with this one.
Some of us don't want to hear this clown.

Reform are incompetent, uninterested in anything but self enrichment.
They do that very well.
Parasites.

Heard both of my favourite podcasts The Trawl and News Agents playing clips of Andrew Neil. Disappointing.
Despite his obvious gifts I wouldn't trust him to tell me the time.
Always see him as a puppet of rich right-wing men.
Servant of oligarchy.

Murdoch plays all sides. Hypocrisy pays. He condemns Mandelson in one outlet then soft PR in another.
It's a great business model.

Stop using the media that pays and promotes those views.
Needy people will be farming usual hashtags and media outlets whatever happens.
See Kuenssberg hashtag tomorrow. Same people looking for validation from strangers keeping the rotten media going.

Political, media, citizen engagement doom loop continues in Britain.
Same Brexiteer voices bringing us to the rocks again.
A largely lazy, client, herd think media knows enough of the public will respond to tired tropes on MSM like Radio4 and Tory Laura to justify silly wages
Money and likes is all

Like most of the political/media class Bitcoin is over valued, has no intrinsic worth and is often owned by shady people.
