Arrested for holding up a copy of The New World. How bloody un-British This government’s stupid criminalisation of peaceful protestors is a hole they keep on digging

The New World editor/founder Matt Kelly: "The idea that a magazine can be on open sale in more than 10,000 newsagents up and down the country, but its purchase and open display can get you arrested, makes a mockery of this daft law." www.thenewworld.co.uk/matt-kelly-a...

🚨BREAKING: The metropolitan police
arrest a man for carrying a copy of our magazine. This is a threat to both journalism and freedom to protest

Ludicrous and dangerous

This is one of the issues London Labour insiders raised with me in this piece on Labour & London – Labour is taking the votes of the capital for granted, and is about to impose major local government austerity on councils who were hard hit first time round.

Alastair Campbell's diary: Don't take Curtis Yarvin seriously Yarvin believes liberal democracy has failed and that monarchy should replace it. He just has absolutely no idea how to achieve this

It struck me that Yarvin had next to no idea how we would actually get from the democracies we have now, to the monarchy he thinks would be better

For a decade, Farage has largely got what he wanted, and none of it has worked. Brexit has been a deadweight, dragging down the UK’s already sluggish growth. The vaunted points-based immigration system didn’t reduce numbers, because the UK has disastrous skills shortages. Johnson’s Brexit deal fuelled the small boats crisis that Farage seized upon to get to his current political popularity. Farage has danced around any kind of responsibility for the consequences of his actions, or for his own inability to understand how policy on immigration – his number one issue – actually works.

Where @thenewworldmag.bsky.social leads…back in August, we wrote about how many of the immigration issues Nigel Farage complains about were the result of policies he advocated. Now both Ed Davey *and* Keir Starmer are saying the same.

Does Andy Burnham want to rejoin the EU? The Labour leadership candidate has taken every Brexit position possible. Now it’s time for him to spell things out

Is there really much gain for Labour in getting rid of one dour, bespectacled white man with little of interest to say on Brexit, and replacing him with another?

Excellent insight here on how Starmer could ask for (and get) more from the EU

What The Hack lacks Mr Bates vs The Post Office touched a nerve among the public with its revelation of the suffering of ordinary people who lost everything. ITV’s new drama lacks suitably likeable victims

I reviewed ITVX's The Hack for @thenewworldmag.bsky.social – a great story that didn't need to try so hard

Happy weekend from the Telegraph!

9-0 SCOTUS ruling from last year:
“Government officials cannot attempt to coerce private parties in order to punish or suppress views that the government disfavors.”

Can we please stop taking Blue Labour’s Glasman seriously? The peer’s praise for “magnificent” Brexit is just another example of a discredited guru leading the government astray

Why is Lord Glasman talking nonsense on my TV again?

'Jimmy Kimmel Live' Pulled 'Indefinitely' by ABC Over Charlie Kirk Comments 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' was taken off air by ABC and Nexstar after Trump’s FCC chair called on broadcasters to stop airing the show.

JD Vance, Feb 2025: "In Britain, and across Europe, free speech I fear is in retreat. In Washington, there is a new sheriff in town and under Donald Trump's leadership we may disagree with your views but we will fight to defend your right to offer it."

Royal Society to debate throwing out Elon Musk One of the most prestigious scientific bodies in the world is considering expelling Musk after his appearance at Tommy Robinson’s extremist London rally

Mini-scoop: After resisting pressure to strip Elon Musk of his fellowship for months, the Royal Society is meeting on 1 October to discuss his removal – following his decision to address Tommy Robinson's far-right rally on Saturday.

Royal Society president Sir Adrian Smith: “I am sure that many of you will share my concern at the events of the last week and the growing tendency to resort to the language of violence…including, unfortunately, an address to the recent London rally from a Fellow of the Royal Society.”

It will be tough, but I imagine Britain will muddle through somehow without Sarah Vine

Charlie Kirk, Redeemed: A Political Class Finds Its Lost Cause By ignoring the rhetoric and actions of the Turning Point USA founder, pundits and politicians are sanitizing his legacy.

Ta-Nehasi Coates is doing a lot of things with this essay, but one of the most important is fearlessly using examples of anti-trans hate to describe Charlie Kirk's politics.

The contrast between his choices and those of other writers for major legacy outlets is revealing.

This, from The Londoner yesterday, also features people on the march who claim not to be racists. Though the things they say prove otherwise
