Prince Andrew's Arrest Across the pond in Britain, justice and accountability is a serious matter

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647.

Labour are absolutely finished.

More of this, please. The folks in this grassroots group are heroes.

Haven Watch lives by the promise, “No One Walks Alone.” Day or night, they show up. When people are released from ICE detention, volunteers meet them in the cold, disoriented, and exhausted.

Beautiful and devastating all at once.

Remember back in the day when Congress used to be in charge of appropriations?

Stop Palantir taking over our public services! Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir.

Nearly 100k people have joined our call to get dangerous US spy tech firm out of our NHS.

Palantir's founder has called for the NHS to be ripped up. Now his company has access to millions of patient records.

Tell the government to end the contract!

War created Ukraine’s biggest publishing boom in modern history New data shows 117 new publishers registered in 2025—60% above prewar levels.

The country with 12-hour blackouts is having a reading boom.

Ukraine just registered more new publishers than any year on record. Russia burned 50,000 books in a single strike on Kharkiv. The printing house was rebuilt in nine months. The market grew faster than ever.

Kyiv robbed Pokrovsk to save Zaporizhzhia. The gamble is paying off When Ukrainian forces fell back a short distance north of Pokrovsk recently, it was the result of a deliberate choice in Kyiv: to prioritize a counteroffensive farther south.

The cost? A few villages near Pokrovsk that barely matter—every path to Kramatorsk is heavily fortified. The path to Zaporizhzhia wasn't.

The attack on Scotland's Lord Advocate is being carried out by parties headquartered in London and amplified by media outlets headquartered in London. The BBC, Tories and Labour are English organisations with branches here. They don't care what damage they do to our legal system.

If someone was alleged to have pinched £500,000+ from Labour funding, how likely is it the UK media would try to blame the Labour Party? The answer is, of course, that they wouldn't. Such coverage is specially reserved for one specific Scottish party.
