Who really funds the Jewish Chronicle? Why it’s troubling that we don’t know…
Four years ago, a mysterious consortium came to the rescue of the beleaguered publication—and nobody is really clear about who is behind the scenes. B...
So there’s one aspect of the BBC story that has received zero attention: Robbie Gibb’s potential financial conflict of interests.
According to @arusbridger.bsky.social, he was just the bagman for the purchase of the Jewish Chronicle.

Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms.
He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.

On average a prisoner has been wrongly released from prison every 2-3 days for at least the last 5 years in the UK.
This isn't a new phenomenon.

Elon Musk declaring British people 'Hobbits' sparks backlash
Elon Musk has been branded "sick" and "dangerous" following recent remarks he made on an episode of Joe Rogan.
I’d rather be a Hobbit than a Saruman or Fëanor.
Hobbits avoid conflict & like warm homes, good ale and don’t seek fame or power. They also have deep wells of loyalty, resilience, and quiet heroism when the world demands it.
And against Musk, we will fight 💪

Andrew Tate has been charged with rape, human trafficking, controlling prostitution and actual bodily harm. Nigel Farage described him as "an important voice for young men". That tells you all you need to know about Farage's moral compass.

A hand-drawn comic page dated “Thursday 30th October 2025” titled “A Pigeon Enters the Shop.” In the first panel, a pigeon sits on a counter inside a T-shirt shop as a man in glasses and a cap looks at it, saying, “Hello… pigeon!” In the next panel, the pigeon spreads its wings mid-flight and says, “SQUARK! I would like a T-shirt please, a V-neck.” The artwork is detailed with cross-hatching and ink shading.
This is the story of when a pigeon came into our shop on Thursday

Challenged on whether he questioned Gill over the statements, Farage said: "I didn't know anything about it; all I knew was that he'd been to Ukraine. I told him not to go, he defied me and went, I was completely unaware of any statements that he made."
However, multiple sources who worked with Farage and Gill in Brussels and Strasbourg said the two men had been close.

Gill was described variously as Farage's
"enforcer" and "right-hand man" by some who recalled they had adjoining offices.
One former Ukip MEP from that time told the Guardian: "Gill was in the thick of organising. He was the right-hand version of Farage. His office was right beside Farage's."
Can we please not have Farage wriggle out of this one. His denial is not where this should end. He’s up to his grubby neck in dodgy shite. Beyond time our media stopped handing him free passes and started to properly scrutinise him.

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.

Yes, because Badenoch’s was a criminal offence carrying a custodial sentence, whereas Reeves’ was not.

Not enough votes in Congress to impeach/remove.
No will in the Cabinet to invoke the 25th.
For the sake of the country, we need to make him as irrelevant as possible.
