Revealed: Patriotic Alternative caught out on party registration lies Earlier this summer, the leaders of the neo-Nazi group Patriotic Alternative (PA) made a remarkable announcement. Mark Collett, the self-described โ€œNazi sympathiserโ€, and his deputy Laura Towler went ...

New from me and @harryshukman.bsky.social:

The leaders of the neo-Nazi group Patriotic Alternative have been caught lying yet again.

We expose the incredible lengths they went to in order to NOT get registered as a political party:

The Superbaby Factory | HOPE not hate Exposing the secretive company predicting the IQ of wealthy, elite offspring

โ€จWe broke the PolygenX/Heliospect story with @theguardian.com last year because multiple people involved, including its Chief Science Officer has engaged in far-right groups. One has even bought nazi books.

Opinion | I.V.F., Gene Selection and Embryo Screening: Is This the Future of Making Babies? Advances in genetic testing and artificial intelligence are changing whatโ€™s possible for those undergoing I.V.F. Are we ready for the future of fertility?

Good to see the @nytimes.com covering rise of polygenic embryo screening & companies like PolygenX/Heliospect. I just think that itโ€™s important to give the full context of the clear connection to the far right and support of eugenics on some of the people they coverโ€ฆ

Elon Musk does a Nazi salute. Trump advocates ethnic cleansing. Judges sacked, the state gutted, JD Vance pushing the AfD and Trump now playing footsie with Putin. Now Steve Bannon does his own fascist salute.

Itโ€™s hard to deny the fascist trajectory of the US administration

Promoting green growth does not make you an โ€˜eco-nutterโ€™. Itโ€™s the only way forward Heading off the environmental crisis and growing the economy are not at odds. They are two sides of a coin โ€“ as our politicians should realise

There is no trade off between growth and green; they are two sides of the same coin. Which of course is why decarbonisation has proved to be so simple with no difficult choices to be made. Lucky us.

New story! Andrew Sabisky, recruited by Dominic Cummings to No.10 under Boris Johnson was sacked after his racist views on IQ and race were exposed. We can reveal that he continued to do work for No.10 without the PM's knowledge thanks to friends on the inside.

Today the world feels a much scarier place. Trump is back in the White House, Elon Musk is now funding Tommy Robinson and the AfD is likely to come second in the German elections.

But however awful today seems, things will get better.

Keep the faith. HOPE will triumph over hate โœŠ๐Ÿผ

Yesterday, Elon Musk posted out in defence of two Nazis who had called for the rape of babies.

Now, Musk expressed his outrage over the imprisonment of the main instigator of the summer riots. A man who called for mosques to be burnt down and people (including me) to be murdered.

So let me get this right, Tommy Robinson, defender of white girls and the nemesis of child rapists, yesterday accepted a $30,000 donation off Tristan Tate, a man accused of human trafficking and raping minorsโ€ฆ. And then publicly thanked him.

This is what we are up against!
โ€œThreats from the far right have led to venues cancelling planned events with writers and artists. This is part of a worrying trend curtailing the freedom of expression of authors and performers.โ€
