Matt Goodwin in his own words in the Mail in 2020.

"My own roots are in the terrace house on the outskirts of St Albans, Hertfordshire, where I grew up."

He went to uni in Manchester and has family there but the lad is from Hertfordshire and has spent most of his life in the southeast.

This is one of the reasons we should be *very* wary of things like digital ID, extended facial recognition and AI policing. These are tools we should not put in the hands of fascists.
The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions.

It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.

another year and another privatised utility banging my bill up 10% so they can “invest in the network “ that’s what shareholders do in order to make a profit over a period of time not customers while they loot the profits

A 10% increase in my phone bill so that EE can invest in their network without it seems disturbing the greedy shareholders who job it is to *checks notes* invest in their network. Where the fuck are the labour party

Having belatedly found out thst the outsourcing they adored while Conservatives means they can't cut anymore services or payments the extremists at the reform party fall back on the tried and tested tory tactic of dragging the few ppl still with Good pensions down to the level of the rest of us

Europe and India are making history today.

We have concluded the mother of all deals.

We have created a free trade zone of two billion people, with both sides set to benefit.

This is only the beginning.

We will grow our strategic relationship to be even stronger.

The killings in Minneapolis didn’t come out of nowhere.

Funding, legal cover, weakened oversight, and dehumanising rhetoric ramping up over a year. This started on 20 Jan 2025 with Trump's executive orders on immigration.

I lay it out in my latest post.

Turns out the 'rule of law' is like a muscle- if you don't exercise it, it atrophies
IF Democrats had gone after the Bush administration, IF Democrats had gone after the instigators of January 6, THEN these scum would have thought twice about telling ICE to do ethnic cleansing

but they are looking at recent history like "these cowards won't do shit" and they are probably right

For decades, the American right has insisted that people need firearms for personal safety and to resist potential government tyranny.

And then LBC just had some US general on who suggested that if a demonstrator has a gun with them, they're essentially a legitimate target.

Which is it?
