Palantir among arms giants snapping up ex-Tory defence ministers Exclusive: As Trump arrives in Britain, we find a massive "unchecked revolving door" between UK government and defence industry

🔴 More than 30 ex Tory defence ministers and senior civil servants have taken lucrative jobs in the booming defence industry in past year

New @lucasamin.bsky.social investigation on Democracy for Sale raises serious questions about 'revolving door'

Yesterday, the largest far-right protest in UK history marched through London, led by racist Tommy Robinson.

Today, we say: They don’t speak for us — and they won’t have the last word.

This Wednesday we come together against Trump and for a better future. Do everything to be there.

I researched every attempt to stop fascism in history. The success rate is 0%. Once they win elections, it's already too late.

Nigel Farage set to skip Parliament's return to cosy up with Donald Trump allies As Parliament returns from recess on 1 September, Nigel Farage will be in Washington DC speaking at a right-wing conference

Parliament returns today.

But rather than representing his constituents after six weeks away from the Commons, Farage is speaking at an event alongside Trump’s authoritarian allies in Washington 👇🏻

Great Yarmouth to Host Britain’s Biggest White Power Concert in Years – HOPE not hate Great Yarmouth is set to host the largest white power music gig held in the UK for at least 10 years, HOPE not hate can...

Great Yarmouth is set to host the biggest neo-nazi music festival in over a decade. The Home Office has the power to block entry of overseas bands, which will scupper the promoters plans. But they won’t act unless we demand it. Email the Home Office now: hopenothate.org.uk/2025/08/28/g...

The language of "treason" and "traitors" has dangerous precedents, both in Britain and elsewhere.

Yet GB News is now ramping up such toxic and inflammatory rhetoric.

This is what Jet2, All Clear Travel and Boxt are supporting by advertising on GB News

Has Ofcom given the green light to Talk Radio to become more extreme by repeatedly failing to enforce its rules with GB News?

Toxic & divisive media narratives can have dangerous real-world consequences. Britain urgently needs a broadcasting regulator that is willing & able to act robustly.

So @hopenothate.org.uk have just released an in-depth report on the self-described "Great British Political Action Committee", which has been featured multiple times on GB News - and wow: hopenothate.org.uk/2025/06/23/m...

If you advertise on GB News, this is what you're supporting 👇👇👇

Trump is coming to the UK… but guess who won’t be satisfied until he gets to address our parliament as well? 👀🤢

Massive amounts of money get wasted in politics and many people don't even know what happens to their money after donating.

So here's how I've spent my campaign's resources over the last three months:

This @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social video is absolutely INCREDIBLE. The numbers he cites, the strategy and results they produced — it’s the future. When have you heard *any* campaign talk about this, ever? (Video split in 2 to fit in Bluesky’s limits)

*Confirmed* - Radisson Hotels say they're pulling their ads from the GB News website following our joint action with

Title page of my new report: No Way Home? It is time to remove management of immigration from the Home Office

It's time to abolish the Home Office.

It is not fit for purpose & has totally lost the trust of every stakeholder it serves - We knew that already.

So I looked into how it could practically be done for

Monk debunks: Farage and Reform UK's populist promises. Everything you need to know to be able to push back... Nigel Farage is making big promises – lower taxes, higher benefits, and sweeping cuts. But behind the soundbites lies a financial black hole. Let’s take a closer look.

We know his supporters aren't necessarily swayed by facts, but it sure helps to be properly informed when countering the tsunami of nasty populist nonsense and Trumpian promises from grifter Farage

Populism isn’t just populism. Often when people say populism they mean right wing populism. But left wing populism is quite different, and of course more often backed up by honesty of intention and outcome. I wish we would say ‘right wing populism’ rather than paint all populism with the same brush.

🚨 "So no, look, we are firmly in favour of First Past the Post", says Reform UK's Chairman

⏰ Labour needs to wake up: First Past the Post is now Nigel Farage's "friend"

As the urgent case for climate action becomes ever more apparent, the Daily Mail can't win the argument based on science.

Instead they try to make this threat we all face into a story about one man, using ad hominem attacks & ableist slurs which stigmatise people with mental health conditions.
