The harder they push back, the more journalism matters.

Hopefully other media organisations will now report on this finding that there was no plagiarism in Professor Arday's 2020 paper - only a correction issue in 2024 - despite a successful campaign to reopen an investigation this summer

Update from the publishers: "In August, a preliminary investigation was opened to consider concerns raised with us about the article... Following further review and in agreement with the journal’s editors, we concluded that there were no grounds for adding to the correction notice published in 2024"

His sense of recall is almost as bad as Sunak’s 🤨

Farage now going on the air claiming Raheem Kassam, who called Kemi Badenoch a “Nigerian scammer”, denying he was his head of staff at UKIP, and claiming he is just “someone in America”. Soon he’ll be claiming Donald Trump is someone he just happened to meet in a lift

“When Russia attacked, it felt like a political tsunami” Incredible to think that Putin’s “3 day special military operation” is not far off a 6 year war on Ukraine, where Russia’s military personnel losses amount to >1,500,000 for very little land gain. samf.substack.com/p/when-russi...

What is the BBC's justification for maintaining this level of coverage of Reform now it has slipped into third place?

The Alexander Yakovenko who told a fellow diplomat: “We have crushed the British to the ground. They are on their knees, and they will not rise for a very long time.”? See fascinating article by @peterjukes.bsky.social and work by @carolecadwalla.bsky.social in bylinetimes.com/2022/03/08/p...

Okay. Shellfish I’d never do with cheese

I love Italian cooking. But seriously, screw them on this. I’m grating Parmesan onto my Puttanesca

Bloomberg reports Meta tried - and failed - to skew Brazil's election towards Bolsenaro via restrictions on Lula's Instagram posts and unequal engagement such as refusing requests to create images favorable to Lula. Meta said this reflected “technical problems” www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Bolsonaro's loss is not just a loss for Bolsonaro. It's a loss for Trump. For Musk. For Milei. For Netanyahu. For Farage. For Meta and Zuckerberg. For the meat barons, the fossil fuel corporations, and the rest of the neocolonial looters. And it is a massive win for humanity and the living planet.

It’s ’not proven’ either that this account isn’t actually run by Nathan Cofnas or Toby Young. I don’t think it is by the way, but the ridiculous standards of presumption of guilt around everything the late Professor Jason Arday ever did is an acute and impossible cognitive bias

I don’t think you understand. Another investigation into the article was opened earlier this year, and marked on the site. That mark has now gone, so the second inquiry ended in ‘no further action’. Which means the second plagiarism allegation was not proven

The light of democracy still shines: As @peterjukes.bsky.social writes, “keep the faith, we are many they are few.”

It’s all coming to a head this autumn, isn’t it? Buckle up. Keep safe. Look after those dear to you, and keep the faith. We are many, they are few.

Ten years on, the Brexiters plan to leave the EU and cosy up with the US looks even more disastrous. That their Brexit was boosted by Putin makes it even more historically catastrophic. We mustn’t forget the people who did this or let them near power again bylinetimes.com/2026/06/23/w...

Remember when Rees Mogg said that you should not factor in non-EU shipping costs in any post-Brexit financial economic calculations as they were so negligible as never to make a difference? Hmmm.

Herne Bay MP Sir Roger Gale described Kent Nationalist Movement a "far-right organisation", saying "Its effectively the Kent National Front" + should be treated with "contempt" He added "Herne Bay is a diverse little town, a happy little town; it has few, if any, problems caused by immigration".

But never-knowingly-right Hannan (I was in EP at same time as him), is a useful guide: whatever he supports/proposes is likely to be a disaster, so steer clear!!

Apologies, there was a third idea

Yes, but your two big ideas so far have been police and crime commissioners and Brexit. Shall we check on them first?

The report KEEPS the article online and has dropped the second investigation into plagiarism. What part of that don't you understand?

The final irony. Hundreds of articles ABOUT Jason Arday - fact-free, poor data analysis, often copying other people's work. A couple of articles BY Jason Arday - a few corrections, and still supported by academic publishers and peer review. Just tragic bias by our media

I’m still shocked by the Arday frenzy this summer. Right across the spectrum — from the Times, Unherd, Telegraph, Mail to the Guardian, Novara, Private Eye… based on tenuous assumptions. Left right politics does not explain it. Something deeper, more atavistic and barbaric
