The elephant in the room is proportional representation. It’s being almost entirely ignored on the Right, but it shouldn’t be. If it ever came in, the electoral map changes overnight. Restore would be in line for a meaningful seat haul at the next general election, and even William Clouston’s @SDPhq could realistically break through. It would be a complete rewiring of the system.

It is difficult to read this and remain opposed to the death penalty.
Two men adopt a healthy, happy baby. His grandmother, who looks after his sister, objects. She asks for the baby to be fostered for a few months until she is well enough to take him. This is denied. His adoptive "father" abuses him until he dies.

Scene, Downing Street: ‘How can we make ourselves even more unpopular?’ ‘Well, prime minister, we could allow Natural England to proceed with their plan to shoot 90% of the ponies on Dartmoor’ ‘Yes, that might do it.’
Exclusive from @oliver_wright Dartmoor ponies could be subject to mass culling to reduce the impact on biodiversity after a controversial ruling by the government’s environmental quango Natural England has demanded that all livestock grazing on the moor is reduced by about 75 per cent to protect other habitats, plants and species The move looks set to result in the culling of up to nine in ten of the semi-wild ponies as farmers prioritise their own cattle and sheep to remain within Natural England’s limit to minimise the impact on their own livelihoods Natural England argued that the move was necessary to protect the diversity of Dartmoor, which is a designated site of special scientific interest However, the plan goes against a government commissioned review into the future of Dartmoor, published two years ago, which concluded that Natural England “should not take actions likely to result in a reduction in pony numbers”, adding they were “invaluable for conservation grazing” The move has led to claims that the quango is acting as judge, jury and executioner of the ponies — a species which is itself seen as endangered Dartmoor ponies could be put to death under biodiversity plans thetimes.com/article/ba529f3…

Capital punishment is an ugly and sorrowful thing, but it is essential to show how seriously we abhor, as a people, the highest evils committed against innocent lives.

And "it's turned out as predicted"? By which prediction? UK cumulative real GDP growth since the referendum stands at 11.9 per cent, ahead of Germany, France, Italy and Japan. Even adding back the OBR's full 8 per cent long-run estimate as though it were an immediate loss, Britain would still outgrow three of the G7's largest economies. And the whole of the EU is in dire straits. Germany has just emerged from three consecutive years of stagnation or recession. France posted around 69,000 business failures in 2025, a post-war record, and is running a deficit near 5.1 per cent of GDP. If this is what "as predicted" looks like, the prediction was wrong about both sides of the comparison.

There is a grim irony in the fact that the state is currently in a legislative fever about imaginary online threats to young people, whereas genuine dangers to people in real life are routinely ignored.

Here we go again... rather than working to ensure a 'good death' for all by funding end of life care, yet another misguided MP is pushing for assisted suicide Thankfully my @BBCOne documentary explaining mine & others opposition is still on @BBCiPlayer bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0…

This is fucked up. Battering one bloke en masse because you disagree with him? Pathetic, deranged, self-defeating. Cancel culture is turning violent. We’re going down a dark road.
Someone has submitted footage of what happened. Look at how a gang of foreigners just randomly begin hitting and punching me. This was the first incident. After that, I tried to retrieve my things, and they tried to attack me a second time. Then the police arrived.

Many studies show that children living with stepfathers are 7-10x more likely to suffer sexual or physical abuse than those raised by biological parents. Just the modern British state going about its work, and being surprised at the weather.
This is possibly the worst crime in modern history. Two men "adopted" a baby. "A post mortem examination identified more than 30 external bruises, as well as internal bruising to his mouth and throat, internal bruising to his anus, bowel and bladder, lacerations to his anorectum, and a perforated bowel." "One medical expert gave evidence that a bruise on the baby’s bottom appeared to be a human bite mark." Think what this poor baby went through. The men who did this should be put to death. Men should not be able to buy babies. I know that this will cause some anguish to good men who have good intentions, but it's necessary to prevent this happening. This cannot happen again.

“That's why Bloomberg, an American billionaire actively embedding his own staff, his own university partners and his own policy preferences into British local government, receives a warm welcome from a government minister and Elon Musk gets vilified.”
Janet, this is well documented, and for those who aren't aware: in December 2025, Bloomberg Philanthropies launched a three year programme to train UK metro mayors, developed with the London School of Economics. Andy Burnham himself said he'd been "a partner to Bloomberg Philanthropies since his first year as mayor" and that the region had "benefitted enormously." Steve Reed, the Housing and Communities Secretary, welcomed it too, saying it showed influential international bodies recognised the importance of devolution. Bloomberg has trained 387 mayors worldwide, including 9 of England's 11 Mayoral Strategic Authorities. Now compare that to @elonmusk. He doesn't train ministers, fund government programmes or shape devolution policy. He owns a platform people use to hold this government to account, and occasionally weighs in himself. For that, he gets cast as a singular threat to British democracy, which is exactly the framing we see in posts from politicians like Ed Davey. That's why Bloomberg, an American billionaire actively embedding his own staff, his own university partners and his own policy preferences into British local government, receives a warm welcome from a government minister and Elon Musk gets vilified. So the real distinction isn't foreign billionaires influencing British politics. It's which billionaire, and what they're saying. One funds programmes that align with the government's agenda. The other owns a platform where people who disagree with it can be heard. Once you see that as the actual dividing line, Ed Davey's framing makes a lot more sense.

Civil disobedience: 1) Non-violently transgress a law you believe unjust 2) Accept the legal consequences 3) A public shocked by the harshness of the punishment forces changes in the law. Palestine Action: 1) Smash property and hurt people 2) Demand to be exempted from legal consequences 3) A public shocked by the violence of the crimes committed thinks, "actually these sentences seem rather light under the circumstances."
UK government's ban on Palestine Action is lawful, Court of Appeal says, overturning earlier ruling bbc.in/4uMempi

Britain can fix its energy supply within four years. Energy Abundance proposes 40 gigawatts of new gas and 20 gigawatts of new coal, fast, reliable power that works whatever the weather. Siemens built the equivalent for Egypt in under three years. We know it can be done. Once those stations are running, the rationing charges on your bill get scrapped entirely, prices come down, the lights come on and Britain gets back to work. 🇬🇧

The RW dismantling actually-existing British neoliberalism for entirely non-economic reasons
🚨 Serco - the government contractor that runs large parts of Britian's immigration and justice operation - has taken the extraordinary position of saying it would oppose Reform's plan to deport illegal migrants from Britain. Having read the Telegraph's report making this claim, I have written to Serco's CEO asking him to urgently clarify their position. Serco is the firm the Home Office uses to deposit unvetted men from Syria, Afghanistan, Iran and Iraq into British housing estates without the knowledge nor consent of local residents. Serco is the firm that launches huge bids for rental homes, outbidding local residents by such a vast amount that lifelong residents - including veterans - have been served eviction notices by landlords. All to house illegal migrants. Serco has expressed no moral concern about any of this. Yet they apparently take exception to our plan to actually uphold immigration law and remove those who break it. Moreover, if the Telegraph's reporting is correct, a company so enmeshed in the British state it even runs recruitment for British Armed Forces, says it will take a hostile position to a duly elected Reform government. If the Telegraph’s reporting is correct, the only reasonable interpretation of Serco’s position is that it now believes itself to be an alternative power base to the duly elected government of the United Kingdom, and is willing to act contrary to the interests of the British electorate. If this were true, a Reform government would be left with no choice but to view Serco as a threat to national security.  I have given Serco until 6pm to clarify their position. Should they fail to do so, we will take the following steps to decouple the British Government from Serco: 1) On forming a Government, we will initiate an accelerated review of all Government contracting with Serco with the aim of removing Serco as a public contractor within our first Parliamentary term. 2) Where Serco has breached contracts or break clauses are available, we will terminate those contracts and continue to exercise break clauses as they come due.  My full letter below 👇

María Gabriela Chávez has an estimated fortune of over $4 billion. She hasn’t created anything, employed people, or pushed civilization forward in any way. Her daddy just stole Venezuela’s oil wealth. You won’t see any outrage over her billions, because she’s a leftist billionaire.

In the Blair years, these men would have been bundled away in no time. Unfortunately, the contradiction between Blair’s securitisation of society and that regime’s ideological commitment to the creation of a new multicultural Britain induced a kind of schizophrenia in the regime. The result of which is that today right wing protestors get years for chucking around some bins and this sort of nonsense doesn’t just go unchallenged but is even encouraged.
Today a group of Muslims prayed next to the Ministry of Defence, facing the Iraq and Afghanistan memorial. As I have said before, choosing to pray in this way in public is a political act. It is a social statement and, yes, it is an act of domination. Anybody who understands Islamism understands that the domination of public spaces is part of the modus operandi. It is done so Islamists can show who is in charge - and to show other Muslims and the wider public that the authorities will bend to their will. There is quite obviously no need to pray here. The decision to do so is symbolic and pointed. It is not welcome. We have freedom of religion in this country, which is why there are mosques. But we are not a Muslim country and this is not welcome. It should be stopped.
