Prince Andrew in robes

The fall of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is no fall at all.

It comes ELEVEN years too late and has only happened as a damage limitation exercise.

We need to start having a grown up conversation about monarchy... and I'm starting it here.

Our politics is increasingly normalised to racism – because politicians are addicted to X The platform has quietly dragged British politics into a dark place

I've written a couple of things over the last days about how the government and much of Westminster remaining on X as the platform becomes increasingly toxic is having consequences for our politics...

Another Reform rep on QT, no LibDem, Green, SNP or Plaid politician. A week after Plaid’s big win, wouldn’t it have been an opportunity to hear from them? The over platforming of Reform continues apace.

Britain’s Prince Andrew to be stripped of ‘prince’ title and evicted from royal mansion | CNN King Charles has started a process to strip Prince Andrew of his titles and given him notice to move out of his mansion, Buckingham Palace said Thursday.

Andrew being stripped of his Princehood, has taken far too long.

Be in no doubt, this is a decision based on preservation of the monarchy. The media are determined to spin this as a moral decision by the King. If this had been the case it would have happened over a decade ago.

Your daily reminder that the government continues to commercially support an individual who wants to destroy it through fascist violence.

Of course she has. The small matter of owing £122 million to UK taxpayers for her disgusting profiteering in a global pandemic means nothing to Michelle Mone.

NHS staff died in my hospital from the Covid they caught there - her dodgy PPE racket was vile.

Labour’s choice: Tack left and dump Starmer or go full ‘Make England Great Again’ The Caerphilly by-election signals imminent destruction for Labour, but rather than take the necessary action, the party will just head further…

Labour lost Scotland a long time ago now. Starmer, if he is not removed from power, may well go down in history as the man who didn’t just lose Wales as well, but killed the Labour Party and dug the grave of the union

‘Jail is inevitable’ for former Reform politician awaitin... Two other MEPs joined Nathan Gill on a trip paid for by pro-Russian interests – and 6 weeks later repeated his talking points in Parliament

Rachel Reeves’ budget must reduce inequalities and increase spending capacity of the masses This is how to secure sustained economic growth

685,000 Britons has wealth of £2.8 trillion, 48m have £2.4trn.

4 people have more wealth than 20m Britons.

Bottom 50% of the population has 5% of wealth, the bottom fifth only 0.5%.

Rich buy political parties, legislators; hold govts to ransom.

Can't get economic growth without redistribution.

Taufic Haddad warns the #Gaza #ceasefire is no cause for rest but a call for justice. After two years of genocide and 67,000 dead, he urges the world to expose and prosecute the perpetrators, and those who enabled them.
Silence now, he says, only prepares the world for another Gaza.

A perfect example of the now yawning gulf in political and media culture between Scotland and England. In England, nearly every newspaper focuses on a story about one asylum seeker returning to the UK. One. In Scotland, the broadsheets are on the need to recruit overseas workers. Very telling

Our media is broken beyond repair

UK Russian interference case heads to 'Europe's Supreme Court' THREE former MPs have lodged a case with “Europe’s Supreme Court”, accusing the UK Government of failing in its duty to protect elections from…

Pleased to be part of this hugely significant legal challenge. The Boris Johnson Govt first suppressed the Russia report & then refused to act on it. As evidence mounts of Putin’s hybrid warfare, it’s vital that we can be confident in the robustness of our democratic systems

Every white English person must apologise.

That’s how it works, yes?

How has the government got itself into the position of standing up for Israeli football hooligans, while criminalising peaceful supporters of Palestine Action?

Will Gaza ceasefire change South Africa’s ICJ genocide case against Israel? South African leaders say the case to hold Israeli leaders accountable will continue, despite the ceasefire in Gaza.

Reform’s Richard Tice failed to register lavish hospitality from former Russian finance minister’s wife 'Tice and Oakeshott stayed at the Chernukhins’ “turreted villa” with “a stunning view of the Mediterranean” and had supper with them at a Michelin-starred restaurant'

Fuck free speech, says the land of free speech

Just a shame that Britain has gutted its local newspaper industry so there's nobody to investigate Reform councils, or tell voters just how fucking useless, dangerous and dysfunctional Reform are when in power...

Palestine Action 'not close' to being terror group, files show Scottish board found A SCOTTISH counter-terrorism board found that Palestine Action’s activities fell below the threshold to be considered terrorism before the group…

"The main actors of the genocide will have to answer to justice."

Spain’s PM Pedro Sanchez says the ceasefire deal ending Israel's war on Gaza should not mean Israel’s conduct should be forgotten, saying “there cannot be impunity”.

Polanski is talking nonsense about wealth taxes.

The Spectator (owned by GBNews owner Paul Marshall - estimated wealth of £800 million) doesn’t like taxing wealth fairly.

I wonder how they got to this editorial decision?

Let’s tax wealth fairly, fund front line services & make hope normal again.

Trade union should now be aligning with the green party and not Liebore. Their shift to the right, along with their part in genocide, should not be rewarded with union backing and trade unionists votes.

Here’s what you need to know about Starmer’s illiberal protest curbs: they would have killed the Labour party at birth | George Monbiot The rights we enjoy in the UK, and the movement the PM purports to lead, were built on protest. Those rights are in dire peril, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

To be effective, protest must be noisy, obstructive, annoying. No longer is this allowed. Now the last attribute of effective dissent – persistence – is also to be banned. But the moment protest ceases to be effective is the moment democracy dies. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

YouTube video by Andrew Sharpe Dr. Husam Zomlot, Head of Palestinian Mission to the UK, speaks at the 2025 SNP Conference

Dr Husam Zomlot, Head of Palestinian Mission to the UK, spoke movingly at the SNP Conference today. Well worth listening to his whole speech 👇

Very rarely is a Palestinian voice heard without bias and interruption on British media.

Great seeing the national drop stuff that actively makes you think “I am going to walk to the newsagents and buy that tomorrow”. Their current editor just fucking gets it

BBC News taking a break from its enthusiastic Reform PR campaign to highlight the pain in the arse we now face travelling into the EU, thanks to Brexit..

Hiding the fact that the hoops we’ll have to jump through were partly created by UK pre Brexit to make it harder for non EU ppl to travel❗️
