I was having conversations with journalists just a few months ago about whether democracy was doomed. Look at this year: Orban defeated. Vukic defeated. Bolsonaro Jr defeated. Trump heading to likely defeat in midterms. That’s the beauty of democracy. Voters can respond. Don’t count it out yet.

Fascinating Jeremy, now tell us about the time you cut national insurance twice as an electoral game despite knowing we couldn't afford it.

What the hell are we doing people

Morning.

I swear to god if they get a rescue deal or some sort of soft soapy arrangement… I swear to god.

The hollowing out a priceless national asset, under a techbro vandal. As with higher education, this type of move might be tolerable if there was *any government policy at all* on what the ultimate plan is. But there isn't.

‘Islamists’?? Seriously? More I think about it, the more this piece has less value as analysis of France and more value as a window into the worldview in a decent chunk of British media

Tumble weed across legacy media about ITV's exposé of Reform. Can you imagine the hysteria if an SNP councillor advocated for concentration camps or a Muslim Labour candidate said he wants to shoot MPs he considers traitors? The Mail front pages, Telegraph thinkpieces, and somber Today interviews?

Just a police reminder that the 90-minute documentary, Undercover: A Year in Reform, will air on ITV this evening at 10:20pm.

Did you know: October 17th is the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty »Wherever men and women are condemned to live in extreme poverty, human rights are violated. To come together to ensure that these rights be respected is our solemn duty.« #BasicIncome #UBI #ECIUBI2027

And in the Black Sea currently. Seafarers are under attack and this needs to be bigger news everywhere. If your workplace were being blown up I think you would be shouting about it too!! 7 seafarers are currently missing from these vessels. #SAR #seafarersafety

Couldn’t have happened to a nicer company.

I’m sure @dorianlynskey.bsky.social and @iandunt.bsky.social did this on Origin Story.

JD Vance running around the country saying he’s fighting health care fraud while his nominee for the senate in TX who he completely supports is partying in Dubai with a guy whole stole over $300 million in health care fraud and gave Paxton $190,000. This is the Republican Party.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

There isn't a hell hot enough 🤬

Death by a thousand cuts as universities revoke international offers "en masse" of prospective students from Bangladesh, Nigeria and Pakistan to avoid losing ability to recruit international students. More job losses and course closures predicted in consequence. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

Trump wants the US to fund Putin’s evil regime.

Dear tv and radio producers. Thankyou for the invitation. But, no, I do not want to appear on your show to defend the idea that I am English, after 50 years of living and working here, because the increasingly feral right want to turn this into a "debate" and you cannot see how you're being played

Kudos @mrjamesob.bsky.social 🙏🏼

Far bigger crowds at food banks thanks to these fuckers.

Badenoch, last month: Why is PM obsessed with Thatcher? SO WEIRD! I was not even born. He wants to take us back to the 70s. Badenoch, this week: I'm like Thatcher, a new Thatcher, possibly possessed by Thatcher, LOVE Thatcher, Thatcher was right, and I'll take us back to the 80s. Tory Conference:

Finally cut the Twitter cord. Ah!!!

THIS THIS THIS

❌ Myth: Immigration is a spiralling crisis, with “millions” of people “invading” the UK. ✅ Fact: Immigration isn’t soaring, it’s actually falling. It dropped 20% in 2025 and net migration nearly halved, from 331,000 to 171,000 (ONS). Small boats are only around 5% of it.

❌ Myth: Police run a “two-tier” system that treats white Britons more harshly than ethnic minorities. ✅ Fact: The “two-tier policing” thing is the wrong way round. Black people in England and Wales are 3.8 times more likely to be stopped and searched than white people (Home Office).

I don't usually do this (I am, as you know, very coy and self-effacing and wouldn't dream of self-promotion) but if you actually want to know what Zionism is, we did a podcast on it podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/z...

Yeah. So that was the best conference I have ever seen. I never dreamed I would see a prime minister with the bravery to do what he just did.

I am so happy about what I am hearing that I have lost the ability to speak

This is so interesting 👀

Racists.

I bring worse news. That poor woman who lives in Piddington & who @vicderbyshire.bsky.social interviewed after that ridiculous election has had her address leaked to Tommy Robinson & the Pink Ladies & she’s been doxxed by both of them. Wtaf is going on. These people all need to be proscribed now.

Over the last few months these guys made me proud to be British: kind, practical, profoundly moral, a testament to this island. Now they're targeted by the very worst of us. I just gave them a bunch of money. You should too. Show those fascist clowns what's what. rnli.org/support-us/g...

So Reform have launched an app that tracks small boats arriving in the UK in real time, and already their supporters are complaining that it's boring because there are hardly any boats. They are SO close to getting it.
