Following a petition signed by 114,659 people, today (16:30-18:50) Parliament held an excellent debate on Russian influence in UK politics. MPs I'll list in this thread know, offered details and remedies.

Full debate starts 4 mins in:

Turn up for a debate on serious matters like Russian involvement in British politics?

Or

Threaten a university with withholding funding for refusing to ‘debate’ racists?

Reform UK always picking the important stuff.
No Reform UK MPs turned up for today’s debate.

Tomorrow I’ll post my full speech which focused on:

❌ Russian involvement in Brexit referendum
❌ Boris Johnson’s appointment of Lebedev
❌ Cryptocurrency in British politics
❌ Helping Brits identify misinformation on social media
Ben Goldsborough MP speaking in a debate on Russian influence on UK politics:

“It seems Reform politicians are comfortable doing the Kremlin’s dirty work for them, regardless of whether they get paid for the privilege or not.”

This is pretty menacing.

Sarah Pochin wrote to Bangor's university student run debating society requesting that she attend to "answer questions from students."

When they said "no" Reform rolled all it's tanks onto the lawns and said they'll cut funding to the entire university if they win.

No-one seems to have noticed, but many of the core developments in the Mandelson/Epstein story these last few days have been broken on this website. @pickardje.bsky.social and @petergeoghegan.bsky.social are both posting each breaking development on BlueSky, not X.

There's a ChatGPT ad about a family farm where the owner says her family has been doing this for a hundred years and she doesn't want to be the one to screw it up and that's why she's getting advice from ChatGPT and, my God, can you people hear yourselves?

Damn right. There's still time to transform a wasted govt into a transformational one. It's not as though nobody knows what needs doing, or we're lacking ideas about how.

Labour built the NHS in 3 years, and transformed the nation. They can this too. It just takes will.
McSweeney is gone. Time for Starmer to try to salvage his government by launching long overdue proper action to address all the flaws in our political system - peerages, patronage, cronyism, party finances, MPs revolving door, appointments, ministerial code, business interests, Leveson, etc etc.
I wrote this yesterday - Starmer could still turn his premiership around, if he finally, FINALLY, finds the courage to address the grubby circs which allow people like Mandelson to rise so far. bylinetimes.com/2026/02/07/t...

Please every right winger, for your own safety, stay away from London. It's definitely not one of the greatest cities in the world, full of history and art and culture and a million fun things to see and do.

And I am absolutely not saying this to reduce queues and crowd sizes or such silliness! No!

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

So you won the House, the Senate, and the Presidency. You stacked the courts, the DOJ, HHS, the FBI, and everything else with loyalists. But you think you should be allowed total control of elections to make sure it's not "rigged".
