Questions about child rape and pedophile sex trafficking rings should be fun, right? Why wouldn't you smile while you're talking about victims? Don't be one of those of those angry liberal women, smile sweetly and be sure to fix your hair and makeup.

This is absolutely shocking. Something has to be done about this appalling situation in which so many now find themselves. The government needs to act

I think witnessing Brexit as both insider & outsider had a profound effect on Mark Carney. His resolve in the face of the next stage of the attempted destabilisation of the West might even be described as a ‘Brexit benefit’!

Where are the poppy patriots? Why are they completely silent on this grotesque insult to our armed forces and specifically the 2,000 UK service and civilian personnel who were injured and the 457 who died in Afghanistan?

Just excellent and all they deserve.

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

For there to be no comment from the government on Musk's call for violence, let alone action against X, is unconscionable. An utter dereliction of its responsibility for national security and an affront to every member of an ethnic minority, who is being put at risk by this rhetoric.

I need you to understand what this country feels like right now for those of us who look different. I'm sitting here, trying to plan for Saturday, make sure I don't even need to go to the corner shop for milk, like it's Christmas Day or lockdown. Why? Because I live near where Yaxley-Lennon will 1/

@restispoliticsus.bsky.social I’ve been a founding member since the excellent Musk series, I subscribed through Apple.

But I’m confused about benefits other than access? How to ask questions for example? In your next promo could you please give details of the different ways of being a member? 🙏

Do you have comparative data on how much coverage this has been given by the mainstream print and broadcast media in the UK? And relative to the Angela Rayner story? youtu.be/reQaq3ArAak

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...

Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all:

“If this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.”

Israel just killed him.

My mom and stepdad are from the same diaspora group as Zohran Mamdani’s dad (same like “my stepdad was kicked out of the same town and knows some of his classmates”) and apparently the New York Times doesn’t understand how diaspora works, so I am going to tell you a little about my mom’s people!

And I'm one of those who's been using what little influence I have to argue against progressives writing off the Labour government (e.g. my most recent @bylinetimes.bsky.social column, below). But if, as it seems with this, they're really going down the Glasman 'Blue Labour' route then, sorry, no.

Arthur Daley's Brexit. New post on my Brexit & Beyond Blog, with analysis of what Trump's Tariffs do and don't tell us about Brexit itself, and how the 'choice' they give the UK is to duck and dive whilst the real decisions are made by others: chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2025/04/arth...

Simply excellent.

I notice some references to Nazi Germany in relation to this and ofc I understand why. But I increasingly think those comparisons are unnecessary. The specifics of what *is* happening here & now are damning enough. Anyone unpersuaded of that isn't likely to be by references to what it is *like*.

Research claims EU deal will fuel growth — and Labour is listening A report says Britain can mend some of the economic damage of Brexit without crossing the red lines set by Keir Starmer

🚨 NEW RESEARCH: This is what the Government's been missing in its plan for growth.A boost to UK GDP of up to 2.2%.How can they get it?With deep alignment with the EU on goods & services. Which would be firmly within Starmer’s Brexit ‘red lines’. 1/6
