Petition: Call a public inquiry into pro-Israel influence on politics & democracy We are concerned about reported Israeli state-linked and pro-Israel lobbying activity in UK politics. We believe it is important to determine the scope and impact of any such influence campaigns.

Richard Tice has been setting out our plans to make life much better for wealthy business owners who want to make even more money by exploiting workers, trashing the environment and paying less to support public services. Vote Reform, get shafted.

The BBC removed part of Akinola Davies Jr.’s winning speech at last night’s #BAFTAs:

“Archive your loved ones. Archive your stories yesterday, today, and forever. For Nigeria, for London, the Congo, Sudan, free Palestine.”

UK trains, including in Scotland, are all rented.

It is the most profitable part of the rail network and was privatised in 1993-1997.

Now we rent £9bn worth of trains which last for 25 years, for £3bn a year.

It is the worst deal ever.

Peter Thiel celebrated Brexit with Jeffrey Epstein.

It was never about 'freeing' the UK.

It was about making it the USA's slave.

They had this little problem, you see. In the US they'd had to ratfuck Bernie to stop him getting the nomination the previous year. Then in the summer of 2017, despite best efforts of the NEC, Corbyn made the first Labour gains in twenty years, major ones, and energised the left. IT WOULDN'T DO!

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.

She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

Having to explain to several hooting chuds that the world is not frightened by America’s increasingly wacky behaviour because it’s booting of its weaker neighbours is too manly for us all, and that it’s more like: imagine if a troop of baboons got loose in the nuclear launch room

People will say Greenland and Venezuela isn't the same, but it really is.

The USA has no claim to either.
Neither have committed any crime against the USA.
They both have Oil/Minerals the US wants.
They are both illegally threatened with invasion or have been.

It is the same.

The United States is behaving like a rogue state. The President has carried out an illegal act of war, kidnapped a foreign head of state, and is now threatening military action against NATO allies. This is a constitutional crisis.

Impeachment must be on the table.

Reformed January 6th participant (who refused a pardon): “You can't gaslight me. I was there. I saw the officers being pepper sprayed. I watched one of them fall down and hit his head and his back. So don't be telling me it wasn't violent.”

So it’s the scrutiny part —- that offends Harvard Officials.

Not the actual fact — that Larry Summers had a very publicly known friendship with child sex trafficking mogul Jeffrey Epstein.

Got it.

WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT WES
* Our weekend read on Wes Streeting, who this week went over the top not once but twice, directly criticising the government's
'technocratic approach' and penchant for reading 'big shopping lists' of achievements
*Streeting's point is that it doesn't work. It simply doesn't resonate with voters. The government needs to bring the fight, to try to win the battle of ideas
* As much as No 10 protests it is impossible to read the comments as anything other than a direct criticism of Keir Starmer's approach to government
* Friends of Streeting are even more blunt privately. Labour, they say, is heading for oblivion under Starmer's leadership and the status quo is no longer sustainable
* Unless MPs take responsibility by changing course and changing leader, they say, Britain is heading towards a Reform UK government with Nigel Farage as prime minister. Doing nothing is not an option. "The implications for the country are both clear and unacceptable," is how one MP put it
* In the wake of Streeting's latest public interventions this week, there were further briefings against him. Some of those who have worked with him in Whitehall accused the health secretary of not being on top of h and more interested in promoting himse getting to grips with NHS reform

Bad news: We, the smartest people in Britain, have absolutely fucked it into the sun by imposing ourselves where we weren’t wanted

Good news: We’re going to try to put this little repellent arse in charge, not because he’d be popular but because we want it

Also: LOL fuck you

December 5, 2025 Late last night, the Trump administration released the 2025 National Security Strategy (NSS) of the United States of America.

This is genuinely terrifying and spot on. The Trump administration is basically saying, get the fuck out of our business, we do what we want, this is how we're going to do it, and also Europe needs to do it too (or else war) because white people are dying out 1/2

The Farage Tax: What The UK Pays For One Man's Ego GDP down, investment down, wages down - but Farage’s influence? Higher than ever

Another Brexit economic verdict arrived last month in the form of an 83-page NBER working paper - and it is devastating.

What shocks me more is how politely politics continues to look away from the person who drove the bus.

Brendan May post from X:

If Reform and Robinson are broadly welcoming the new migration measures this isn’t quite the huge win for the hard left some rather hysterical people on here seem to believe. 

Crack this issue and Reform’s entire reason for existing disappears. 

This shouldn’t be complex.

"If we become the fascists ourselves then there's no room for the other fascists. Ha ha! Yes. Take that loser lefties"

Brendan really thinks he's cooking here huh
