The Great British Fear Factory Inside Reform UK’s Summer Line of Products: Outrage, Scapegoats and Statistics Stripped of All Context.

You can quote stats showing crime is down.

You can debunk every lurid claim.

But fear works better than facts - and Reform UK knows it.

My latest on the “Britain is Lawless” fear factory:

Carrie at age 12 (also Jaws at roughly the same age).

RFK Jr has slashed vaccine research. You need to know how perilous that is for the world | Devi Sridhar The avian flu virus is now just one mutation away from easier transmission among humans. Trump’s health chief is a grave risk to world health, says Prof Devi Sridhar, chair of global public health at ...

“RFK Jr may position himself as Making America Healthy Again, but in reality, his policies make the entire world more vulnerable. He may, in fact, be the most dangerous person in the Trump administration”

Labour have lost any credibility or moral high ground over this. What they are doing and have done is indefensible; this young Labour MP - repeating what she has been told by her party - convinces no one.

A London branch of the National Union of Journalists has called an emergency vigil at Downing Street Wednesday Aug 13 at 17:30 'following Israel’s targeted assassination of the 7 Al Jazeera journalists'

Organiser: 'Please join us - will will be holding signs of all the journalists killed in Gaza'

I'm in the same situation, asked to reduce my package as we barely watch most of the channels so they took away unlimited home phone calls so it is costing me more, and we still have the bloody channels! Sadly, we need the broadband or I'd cancel the lot.

My feelings to cis people who don't get transgender people - by all means be questioning, doubtful, whatever, but stop listening to biased media, pay attention to evidence, and allow trans people to be. Live and let live.

To clarify: When the puberty blocker ban came in, it was stated that young people ALREADY on blockers under NHS treatment would be allowed to CONTINUE getting them.

These are some of those young people.

The NHS is now BREACHING the blocker ban ruling!!! 😠😤

URGENT: No more statements of condemnation. Sanction Israel NOW. The Israeli government has announced a complete invasion of the Gaza Strip, and last night the IDF murdered five Al Jazeera staff in Gaza including its most prominent reporter, Anas al-Sharif. We are

Gwent Police correct online lies from bigots about scout group, investigate comments

"Men protecting women is a normal, sensible thing. We've got centuries of doing the same. It's the gentlemanly thing to do."

RefUK MP, Richard Tice, advising angry men to form vigilante groups and arrest people who look foreign for things including "leering" or "sneering". What could go wrong? ~AA

Wow! The second Torygraph article about their anti-trans ‘martyr’ John Boyne in the space of 4 hours!

They’re absolutely OBSESSED!!!

(Yet strangely, they didn’t report AT ALL when 100,000 people marched in London Trans Pride! 🤔)

#Biased #Bigoted #propaganda

A graphic that says "Upcoming Waverly Stuff". There's a corkboard with various images, dates, and red string connecting them all, starting with the short "Bro Code" coming August 15, the short Too Long To Stop Now coming December 30, The Assistants coming April 15 of 2026, the Extended Patreon Preview of A Dark and Distant Home coming May 1 of 2026, and the book out on May 12. There's also a folder that says more shorts in 2026 only at Patreon.

Friday at Patreon there's a new Waverly Jones short "Bro Code" set after the new book--it's a unique "story" told through a text conversation her little brother is having. All patrons can access this and dozens of other stories. Help new books get made! patreon.com/skyladawncameron

You can't award an LGBT+ literature prize to someone who wants to end trans existence.

I appreciate logic isn't their strong suit but how will the Faragists who lie about the UK being much more dangerous than US cities square their lies with Donald Trump's lies about US cities being really, really dangerous?

Here’s the archive link for the disgusting John Boyle article, sucking up to JKR and calling trans-inclusive women “the worst group” and ‘Commanders wives’ “ready to pin a handmaiden down as her husband rapes her.”

WTF!!! 😖😤

He is a grotesque misogynistic transphobe! 😠🤬

Very entertaining series of short stories based around Saint Mary’s. The author is very good at writing entertaining and amusing anecdotes around her much loved and superbly created characters. #AmazonReview https://amzn.to/3DQLDL7 💙📚🪐

We had loads of those too, I still remember some of the stories I discovered that way.

The people who brought you Brexit on a promise of ‘control’ now threaten civil unrest and frothing racism as govt policy…
For love of god can we just stop listening to anything they have to say. They represent nothing but inadequacy and failure. Surely our country can do better than this.

Labour should beware Nigel Farage weaponising its part in the cost of living crisis | Richard Partington Autumn budget must address pain of high inflation on hard-pressed UK households as food prices rise

Labour should beware Nigel Farage weaponising its part in the cost of living crisis

My column in today’s @theguardian.com on how the Bank of England blamed food price inflation on two things: government, and the climate emergency

Trump deploys National Guard to Washington DC - live updates The US president is holding a news conference after pledging to tackle crime and homelessness in the nation's capital.

Trump says he will deploy National Guard in Washington DC and place police under federal control, as he vows crime crackdown

If you read one linked article today, make it this one.

It’s beautiful 🥹

Palestine Action protest arrests rise to more than 500 Police say the majority of arrests were for displaying placards in support of the banned group.

Government has got this spectacularly wrong.

If an organisation is breaking the law, prosecute it.

But arresting people for holding up signs is a waste of police time, it's increasing support for the organisation &, above all, it's a flagrant violation of free speech.

Being trans in some of these countries is literally illegal. In some of them being cis LGB is also illegal.

So Shabana Mahmoud will be deporting them straight to prison.

Entirely in character.

and I found Stephen King for myself in a seaside bargain shop while on holiday with an elderly Great Aunt (Carrie, I was 12).

I read absolutely anything I could lay my hands on from an early age, choices ranged wildly depending on which set of grandparents I was with at the time, my mum had Christie, C Cookson and Wilbur Smith: G's H had Dickens, G's W had Benchley, Fleming and Heyer:

Rightwingers warn of another blaze of summer riots in Britain – but they’re the ones striking the match | John Harris Grim predictions of ‘societal collapse’ and ‘civil war’ will hit home so long as Labour fails to address the country’s problems, says Guardian columnist John Harris

"..they are starting to look like desperate people throwing matches on kindling that refuses to ignite."

Yes there have been protests - but there is hope that the radical right will fail to light the "tinderbox" they said was ready to go up in flames.

Endurance-Course Summer

Imagine how Farage would react if the EU "refused to accept" UK law ending free movement of people and "insisted on a new deal". Ending free movement of EU citizens to the UK is reciprocal. It's basic stuff.
