Wild that they just assumed another country's govt. would just go: "Yeah, sure, here you go. Here are all our military plans" Especially when *Boris*fucking*Johnson* [who was known to have gone to a party and meet an "ex-KGB agent" just after being at a NATO meeting to discuss Russia] was PM.

There would be such a positive domino effect if we abolished the parasitic monarchy. They can keep one house each and we should expropriate the rest. The UK’s inherent inequalities flow down from the Windsor crime family.

How to be a right wing grifter

The royals only have power through mythology and control. Led By Donkeys co-founder Oliver Knowles on an alternative to royalty. #AbolishTheMonarchy

The Tories want an Iron Dome?

Archer’s resignation from the London mayoral race after it was revealed he lied in court was the thing that got Paul Foot up from his sickbed and contributing again, having first started chronicling Archer’s lies and misdemeanours in 1969. From the Private Eye archive. Issue 992, December 1999.

Half billion royals. That's what they are - stealing your cash. #AbolishTheMonarchy

Of those 71, Lib Dems *took* SIXTY directly from the Conservatives. And since then Kemi hasn’t had a poll lead for even one single week. Why are we reading all this coverage about what she’s going to do when she’s PM?

Here's a parody about the price of gas having soared (with everything else) since the Iran war, called "Gasoline". It's adapted from the classic "Jolene" by the incredible Dolly Parton who sadly died a few weeks ago, but left an incredible legacy of music, generosity & heart ❤️ youtu.be/WhwPBlI4u0A

The UK Daily Mail obviously did not like the results of its own poll. Its own graphic portrays 75% as less than 50%. #UKPolitics #Brexit #EuropeanUnion

Farage is a sitting MP and yet he is allowed to have his own show on GB News. More than 8,000 people have signed the petition to demand that Ofcom take immediate action. Help us reach 10,000 signatures. 📊

Reform uk party ltd is manifestly a danger to our country.

I've been a member of the lobby for well over a decade. Not a single one of my lobby colleagues has said a word about the Conservatives banning me from their conferences, without any explanation. Contrast with the US where even Fox News stood in solidarity when Trump banned news outlets he disliked

Oh HELL no, #Audible. So you're going to not only steal my characters, infringing my copyright and IP, but you're also going to steal the voices of my brilliant audiobook narrators for your utterly crap AI chatbot? Get - and I say this with my whole heart - IN THE SEA! #NoAI

GB News exists only to drive the UK further right and radicalise the elderly and unwary, who get sucked in with 1980s daytime TV stars and nostalgia, and drip fed fear, anger, hate to make them xenophobic enough to vote for a man like Nigel Farage who serves only himself and his rotten backers.

New GB News accounts are out. Here are their losses to date. Or "spent political donations" if you prefer

Schools forced to shut amid burst Thames Water pipe ‘leaking 750 litres a second. TW infrastructure has average age of 79 years. Industry average is 56 years. 40% of TW assets are over 100 years old. Profits siphoned-off, investment neglected, execs rewarded, customers fleeced

Burnham is right about all that. It's gross how we've allowed that part of your life to become some brittle, unknown, risky fucking death bin. People should have dignity. And the people who work in that sector should be shown gratitude and respect.

Why is Raise The Colours Ryan Bridge asking for lawyer money when he owns A FUCKING LEGAL FIRM

I have blamed The agents That hacked Your website And which You probably Reasonably thought I controlled Forgive me I am rich And unaccustomed To taking responsibility

The Sovereign Grant is a scam - why are the billionaire royals getting another £50 million added to their half billion budget? #AbolishTheMonarchy

Just 4 months after the local elections, Reform UK (RefUK) have lost 158 of their local councillors: -55 resigned -42 went Independent -28 defected -24 were kicked out -5 lost their seats -2 disqualified -2 suspended. Appalling record - and a waste of taxpayers’ money!

I would argue that depending on large government subsidies has become 'endemic' for giant corporations like Serco etc. But the Tax Payers Alliance never look at that side of it. Funny that.

Why is it always ALWAYS "kick the least well off"? It's never "tax the richest to fund defence"

Being grotesquely rich doesn't mean you're good at anything except taking money off other people and hoarding it. And by definition, that skill cannot work for more than 1 in a million of us. So why the hell do expect wisdom or useful policy from these ghouls? www.theguardian.com/business/202...

British journalism and polling are both utterly implicated in the Farage funding scandal iandunt.substack.com/p/british-jo...

A short thread on “legitimate concerns”. The phrase is used repeatedly by UK government ministers. The Home Secretary is at it again this week. But only ever - as far as I can tell - in one context: people’s response to the arrival of asylum seekers. Please read whole 🧵before responding - thanks

🚨🚨 BREAKING: Activists have unveiled a 'Cut the Royal Budget' banner in front of Buckingham Palace after MPs voted to give the royals another £50 million in Sovereign Grant money. It's time to scrap the grant, it's time to get rid of the royals. #AbolishTheMonarchy

A new era for Byline Times goes to press! @peterjukes.bsky.social & I are proud to have worked on a print redesign with our new art director Sonny Dhamu. With your support, we continue to grow. This issue marks a story no one else can/will. Two Cambridge professors. Two very different narratives...

Can we make her Home Secretary immediately please and thank you.

EXCLUSIVE: AI giants warn their tech could kill us all. Their proposed safety rules could help kill off cheaper competition. Our @bylinetimes.bsky.social investigation exposes unproven runaway claims and a looming financial blackhole worth 10% of world GDP 1/20 bylinetimes.com/2026/09/15/b...

Harborne calls his latest bung to Farage a “philanthropic gift to the country”. Philanthropy isn’t funding racists and climate deniers. Or funnelling cash into deregulation and removal of our rights so tax-avoiding billionaires can profiteer from the chaos. That’s just corruption. We don’t want it.

I think it would be incredibly interesting to see a heat map of where people who volunteer for the RNLI live and where these so called "protesters" live. I suspect the black clad fascist c***s don't live a anyway near the sea, and have no appreciation of what RNLI volunteers face.

I am still (11 years later) unable to grasp how the images of little Alan Kurdi’s body washed up on a beach wasn’t the final word on treating refugees with compassion and dignity. How we are we having attacks on the RNLI for saving HUMAN lives being encouraged by our media. I weep for our world.

Particularly apt for MPs representing coastal constituencies.

I just think that risking your life at a moment's notice to save people you've never met in exchange for no money is a better expression of patriotism than dressing up like a Poundshop paramilitary and intimidating families with kids trying to get onto a ferry.

"Some of those that work forces Are the same that burn crosses"

The balaclava blackshirted thugs are a result of a decade of politicians, tabloids and the broadcast media telling racists they have "legitimate concerns." The normalisation of actual fascism rhetoric and action has led to this and is a far greater "legitimate concern" than any migrant on a boat.

Did Kent Police ignore Dover blockade 999 call? We can reveal the story that undermines the public statement of Kent Police. 🧵

I wonder how the percentage of asylum seekers with criminal records compares to the percentage of people's patriots with criminal records.

Our undercover reporter @scatatkins.bsky.social posed as a far right journalist at the Reform Conference, and got thrown out for asking difficult questions about Farage's corruption scandal.

He is actually making a joke of the fact a women is being assaulted. No 'pure, cold rage'? Let's be honest, Reform really don't care about women and girls do they?

Every grift you make, Every bung you take, Every promise you break Every step you fake We’ll be watching you! Every single day, Every lie you say, Every game you play Every time you stray, We’ll be watching you! #FagashFührer

There's a lot here to be sickened by, but for some reason the "do you understand what's happening?" really got me. What's happening, Zia? Explain it to us. Use your words. Say it out loud. No no, not "wink wink, nudge nudge, you know..." Why is it a problem she's nominated? Say it, coward.

“Reform.... present themselves as the anti-establishment insurgents, but banning independent journalists like me from party conference isn’t anti-establishment. It’s the establishment playbook.” Am taking being barred from Reform conference as badge of honour! www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
