Another Reform councillor in South London called for the King to be decapitated for being a secret Muslim. Reform say they are taking disciplinary action against a small number of councillors who do not share their values. I believe both would be welcome in Restore www.itv.com/news/2026-10...

FT Exclusive: Billions of dollars of Rosneft’s foreign earnings were funnelled through a Kremlin-backed money laundering network, putting the state oil group at the heart of Russia’s efforts to circumvent sanctions and supply its war in Ukraine. ft.trib.al/eYbw0gW

Very nice to hear a sane voice from Piddington. Serious respect to this woman, who is apparently already being othered by more bigoted villagers.

This Neo-Nazi is attempting to target RNLI volunteers. The police have to act, and the Prime Minister should be making a public statement.

This was clearly not an act of spontaneity. Dozens and dozens of men travelling down, all wearing black, all wearing masks is anything but a spontaneous protest. An infuriating response.

Surely this is a massive red flag: an AI escapes it's constraints and launches a hack attack on multiple companies. At what point do we admit this technology is totally out of control? We need proper regulation, now! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Just noting that when Sarah Everard was kidnapped and murdered by a police officer and a vigil held for her on Clapham Common, Farage urged people not to attack men or the police.

Don't think people realise quite how deeply split by age current voting intention is. This is the latest YouGov for under-50s: Green: 26% Lab: 18% Reform: 14% Tories: 12% LD: 11% And over 50s: Reform: 36% Tory: 22% Lab: 16% LD: 12% Greens: 9%

The UK government should do something about malevolent foreign interference in British democracy. Urgently.

Justice Department launches a criminal investigation into Trump accuser E. Jean Carroll

Oh the delicious irony of foreigners stealing the jobs that used to be done by good old fashioned British racists www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I interrupt your breakfast with news that Saiqa Ali, one of the two Green Party candidates in #Lambeth who was arrested on suspicion of stirring racial hatred and (apparently) suspended has been elected to the council.

Stagflation www.economist.com/britain/2026...

Two local election candidates, for the Green Party in Lambeth, have been arrested on suspicion of stirring up racial hatred. The legal threshold for that is quite high: the Guardian reports some of the content which may cross it www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Forgot to include the worst one: £25k job ~ £25k £40k job ~ £29k £60k job ~ £23k £80k job ~ £32k £99k job ~ £43k *£100k job ~ £26k* £115k job ~ £32k Obviously people would just stop at £99k. Almost designed to force people into 4-day workweek. If that was the aim, then genuis.

don't think I can read this without becoming homicidal :) but may be of interest to others:

Was this GP struck off just because he asked a Muslim woman to remove her veil? How likely does that sound? 🤷‍♀️ Did he actually ask her to remove her veil 'because he was struggling to understand her?' Let's take a look at what really happened based on the tribunal reports... 🧵 1/25

It’s also very visible in weekly pay by age. researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/CB... where look how relatively flat the age gradient was in 1997 relative to 2018

All of the major British Jewish communal organisations have condemned the Wireless Festival decision to have Kanye West headline in Finsbury Park this July. Wireless (and Pepsi, who are sponsoring) haven’t bothered to comment. www.jewishnews.co.uk/wireless-fes...

Reform UK said I was 'bullying' when I pointed out their colleague was jailed for beating up his former partner. Now, they're trying to sneak him back into their party. So I'll say it again: James McMurdock was jailed for beating up his former partner. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I think if I was trying to stop people suggesting anti-zionism was linked to anti-semitism I wouldn't keep going "well like him or not the Nazi over here is making a good point"

I wonder if the BBC would put the word 'hostility' in inverted commas for any other kind of racism? Sir Michael Moritz wants German citizenship over 'hostility' to Jews - BBC News share.google/V81DiqdNZ0uy...

A new paper shows that less than 2 months of exposure to Twitter’s algorithmic feed significantly shifts people’s political views to the right. Moving from chronological feed to the algorithmic feed also increases engagement. This is one of the most concerning papers I’ve read in awhile.

BBC Newsnight covers Reform's pledge to scrap Equality Act [as Braverman mentioned it today] "Whatever intention was of passing the EA" says Zia Yusuf, "it stops discrimination against some people in its current form, but actually industralises discrimination against others" A common misconception
