Welcome to my shiny new echo chamber… hoping here that I can keep it clean and tidy and ‘woke’.
IRL - lawyer (of the lefty, campaigning variety).
- Most of our media is studiously ignoring the Epstein links to Brexit, Farage and far right populism. Farage is being touted for No.10. He wants an even more extreme Brexit. A race to the bottom to sell us out to this global network of oligarch crooks. Why TF isn’t he being investigated and stopped?
- Farage on Mandelson: “There were the allegations of leaking sensitive govt information to a foreign national, possible insider trading. He wondered aloud over whether the Official Secrets Act had been broken…” Only someone so cocksure about not being held to account himself would do this. (Times)
- “The Blob is infiltrating Reform” Liz Truss has a good new nickname for Jenrick… God these people are all dismal. Disloyal, nasty, whining, idiotic, self-serving, undignified, corrupt, MAGA-funded menaces. They need to be booted out of our political and public life forever. (iPaper)
- Half a million children will be pushed back into poverty. For maybe 5p off a pint. What a shitty thing to do… www.bigissue.com/news/politic...
- The Epstein files reveal it’s “not just about individual failure. It’s ideological fraud too.A politics that claims to defend women while refusing to confront the systems that enable abuse is not protection: it’s a strategy” Farage, you’ve gone quiet but we see you open.substack.com/pub/theleadu...
- “They were careless people… - they smashed up things… then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made…” Yes Mandelson. But don’t ignore what Farage et al did (and still do) to help them.
- Our media rightly rages about the already-disgraced Mandelson and Andrew but wrongly fails to hold others in that murky moneyed network to account. Our democracy is under attack from these dismal people right now. Do not be exposing that a decade too late. www.middleeasteye.net/news/steve-b...
- Not sure ‘botched’ Brexit is the way to go. Particularly as Farage agrees, blames the Tories and threatens to make it even worse. At some point you need to tell the truth. It’s not botched. It’s exactly what you get when you prioritise prejudice over pragmatism. app.independent.co.uk/2026/02/01/2...
