The Battle of Holbeck Moor took place in Leeds on 27 September 1936, when Oswald Mosley’s British Union of Fascists attempted a march through the city. Their original route through the Jewish quarter was blocked, but they regrouped and headed for Holbeck Moor, daubing swastikas in the Leylands 1/3

The Reform Ltd flag shaggers are again attacking the RNLI. Below is my response.

A reminder of the five-year jail term imposed on Roger Hallam, co-founder of Extinction Rebellion and Just Stop Oil, for taking part in a Zoom call planning road block protests on the M25. And the lack of arrests when masked far-right thugs brought Dover to a standstill.

Just in case there’s any doubt that the hounding of Prof Jason Arday was motivated by racism, leaders of the master race The Spectator are now going after Lord Woolley Principal of Homerton College, Cambridge. Please protect him ,the establishment supremacists are giddy with power right now .

Mariana Mazzucato says Farage and Boris Johnson repeatedly misled voters and still haven’t been held accountable. Her Channel 4 interview has gone viral after she called Brexit one of Britain’s biggest economic mistakes.

A reminder that Brazil banned Twitter for failing to stop the spreading of disinformation. There is nothing stopping the British government from doing the same.

Republicans have spent the last year trying to defund Dolly Parton

Live your life in such a way that when you’re gone everyone talks about you the way they’re talking about Dolly Parton right now. Left the world a kinder place than she found it.

CALLING LONDONERS 📣 My friend has spent FIVE YEARS developing her play—a queer horror story—and she's hardly sold any tickets. She's travelling down from Leeds and I'm devastated 🥺 The Haunting of Verity Evans, The Hope Theatre, 25th–26th August. I hope you'll join me! Please share if you can't!

And other find from @monkemma.bsky.social: Arday blogged all those marathons in real time. I can’t remember the dozens of journalists who told me there’s no evidence he ran them. Are any of you big enough — or good enough journalists — to correct your error?

Harry and Meghan return. All these royal ‘experts’. All their ‘insiders’. All the endless writing about them. Yet, to paraphrase the late Queen on the financial crisis - why did no-one see it coming?

Untrue. Totally false. A fantasy, unconnected with reality and unchecked by anyone at Reform (no-one asked) - who does that? bylinetimes.com/2026/08/17/r...

Thank you ITV and Good Morning Britain.

Reform is constantly in the news for dodgy donations; the secret £5m from a Crypto dude, the criminal investigation into millions more in ‘masked’ donations - today it’s unlicensed gambling and Reform's two biggest donors.

Reminder of those in British politics who supported Trump. • Boris Johnson • Liz Truss • Suella Braverman • Andrea Jenkyns • Jacob Rees-Mogg • Nigel Farage • Lord Frost • John Hayes • Robert Jenrick • Sammy Wilson • Ian Paisley • Jake Berry • Kwasi Kwarteng • Tim Montgomerie

Not hard to see why Reform did not announce their plan to abolish Personal Independence Payment until *after* the by-election..

White professor ‘ MattGPT ‘ whose most recent book contained fabricated quotations, non-existent source references, & left ChatGPT URLs accidentally embedded in footnotes is sad about Jason Arday’s death but still wants Arday & all black academia held to higher standards than his own writing .

A brief note for Nadhim Zahawi.

A senior Reform UK activist, the man who ran Nigel Farage’s £1000-a-head donors’ club, was once a prominent figure in a far-right group that wants millions of non-white people removed from Britain. hopenothate.org.uk/2026/08/14/g...

I say this in my show and I will say it you you now. Do not look directly at the sun with your naked eyes, telescope or anything like that. Even at maximum eclipse at over 90% Moon coverage, the sun will still damage your eyes. Permanently! NEVER LOOK DIRE`CTLY AT THE SUN! EVE DURING THE ECLIPSE

You may have seen I broadcast a message to planet Earth from the edge of space. I thought it was equally important to speak to deep space about you and your lovely little planet. But I thought humans might like to see it too, so here it is. #Clacton #VoteBinface

Glad you are having this conversation @mrjamesob.bsky.social Could you please mention the achievements of Keir Starmer's Government. Including centres in Banks & Libraries, idea. Seems fair. No-one else will. Thanks. @lbc.co.uk

Music makes everyone feel something.

Ceuta is in Africa. The Moroccans have been returned but on X & elsewhere ReFuK is still spouting Russian destabilisation propaganda. Given one of their lot is in prison as a traitor for Russia you’d think they’d be careful about spreading Russia’s BS. Questions should be asked.
