“So this is another key test for Burnham. Will he allow the mob rule of private business to keep dominating our lives, or will he ensure that government is for the people?”
Palantir didn't have to evade the UK's controls on lobbyists to get astonishing, unminuted access to government ministers and officials, or even to hire them to lobby their colleagues. Why not? Because there aren't any. My column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Nigel Farage, who lied that the EU is unelected among many lies, calls Prime Minister Andy Burnham a liar and cites the very well known liar Boris Johnson as proof that he is lying

The Conservative shadow work and pensions secretary may finally have accepted that spending on social security is not “out of control”, just as her party says it wants to cut more than £36 billion a year from the “welfare” budget. #CPC26 #Conservatives www.disabilitynewsservice.com/whately-appe...

The major platforms—Facebook, YouTube, and X—are all refusing to show the trailer for the upcoming documentary that eviscerates the ridiculous pest Elon Musk. So I guess we have to do our part to make sure it is seen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY_8...

There is NO evidence that asylum seekers pose a particular risk to women. There is NO data showing they are any more dangerous than any other man. And no, memes and random highly manipulated graphs on social media don't count! Every time a claim surfaces suggesting otherwise, it is debunked🤷♀️

In reality, their biometric data (which doesn't rely on their ID or documents!) is checked against: Immigration, Security and Criminality databases They are checked for: Convictions Pending prosecutions Wanted or missing reports. So not "unchecked" Wanted murderers will be picked up!👍🏻 4/

Harborne and Farage are up to their armpits in this crypto money laundering swamp. Why is the UK government not taking action against Tether?
Big NYT investigation into how Russia uses shell companies and Tether, a crypto coin, to evade sanctions and buy arms www.nytimes.com/2026/09/24/b... One of the key shareholders in Tether is Christopher Harborne - the Thai-based man who is Reform's biggest donor and bunged £5m into Farage's pocket

Too bad that there isn't a SoS at the Home Office more interested in communicating the true picture on asylum seeker arrivals, rather than letting the RW media get in a lather about 781 refugees arriving yesterday. Barely a fucking word from the media on how much lower the figures are vs Tory years.

Glad folks are appalled by photos of the "phone booth" cage under an awning, but pls understand: This IG report is likely part of a cover-up. Amnesty Int'l interviewed detainees EIGHT MONTHS AGO who said the cage was half this size (couldn't stand up), had no awning, w feet chained to the bottom.

Here is the report, which also contradicts DHS IG report's claim that detainees weren't held there for more than two hours. www.amnesty.org/en/documents...

Al Jazeera's Camille Nedelec is quoted reporting as fact the billionaires' claims that they want to help the UK. And 'historical'? No. Let's not whitewash their intentions to hand power to a pro-crypto, anti-regulation, pro-wealth, anti-tax, anti-human rights liar. www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/9/...

Two billionaires give Reform £36m each. UK politics is cheap, compared to the US. The Tories have been given £10m so far in 2026, Labour £7m. This is the will of two men being imposed on an entire country donation.watch/en/unitedkin...

Why does Kemi Badenoch need a six-bedroom farmhouse second home? That would house two working families with four kids each. Meanwhile pensioners, nurses, teachers and carers support this public money freeloader (aka posh benefit scrounger) through their taxes.
Never mind free market Conservatism. More like freeloading Conservatism from Kemi Badenoch. The Tory leader claims £2,700 per month (£32.4k a year) for her 2nd home in Essex 50 miles from Westminster. And she claims £4,000 a year council tax on expenses. www.essexlive.news/news/essex-n...
The usual links to *foreign* hard RW Christian Nationalist organisations, include the Heritage Foundation (through the Edmund Burke Foundation) who use Trump to push the evil 'Project 2025' in the US. You know, mass deportations, giving women's votes to their husbands/fathers, etc. Grim.

This up-tick in donations is great news, particularly as RNLI volunteers have been abused for their amazing life-saving jobs. www.lbc.co.uk/article/abus...
Sign this open letter in support of the brave volunteers. bsky.app/profile/muti...
This is a disgrace. Brave RNLI volunteers being called scum for risking their lives to save others at sea is just plain wrong. So I've signed an open letter of thanks for the RNLI letting them know these thugs do not speak for the rest of us. Add your name? act.38degrees.org.uk/act/rnli-tha...
