Politics doesn’t organise itself.
It can’t be left to others.
Let’s not leave politics to political parties?
If you care, get politically active in 2026.

Here's an idea nice rich people, fund alternatives to these dangerous think tanks, institutions and media platforms....
We've always had these dead-eyed socipaths around. It's just a few years ago they were ignored and now they're "senior fellow" at places funded by evil millionaires + going on podcasts with a brain-rotted ex-PM.
Harrison Pitt accuses the King of treachery. Pitt is a Senior Policy Fellow for Rupert Lowe's Restore Britain, who also regularly co-hosts podcasts with his ally Tomlinson (who advocates banning all ethnic and faith minorities from public office). Like Lowe, Pitt is keen to dissolve boundaries/norms

Pure evil…
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

Funds from the crown estate go to the treasury in Westminster, the Crown Estate is devolved in Scotland so the Scottish Government gets to spend the money. Every local authority in Wales wants it devolved, but Labour in London say no...
If you are watching the King's Speech remember that he is worth £21bn gets hundreds of millions a year tax free.
But he still charges Wind Farms to rent worthless seabed that he 'owns'.
The result £200m a year to him and you pay it on your Energy Bill.
