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.

Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem.

The UK government didn't want you to see this report on ecosystem collapse. I'm not surprised | George Monbiot
It took an FOI request to bring this national security assessment to light. For ‘doomsayers’ like us, it is the ultimate vindication, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Starmer needs to ditch McSweeney and craft a narrative for his government that appeals to Labour’s actual potential coalition - liberal, educated, urban, Remain-coded - as opposed to chasing working class voters with Diet Reform stylings.
Entirely unsurprising that Burnham has been blocked but probably increases the chances of a post-May challenge. Rayner has used this weekend to position herself well if she wants it.

Just ffs. If the seat goes to Reform, it will absolutely sum up Labour’s strategic idiocy. Defensive, self-harming bullshit instead of confident authenticity.

Who funds the Free Speech Union?
Toby Young’s outfit went to court to hide its donors. Today we reveal that funders include US anti-abortion groups, Brexit politicians and Tufton Street insiders.

xAI’s decision to create and host a breeding ground for predators to spread nonconsensual sexually explicit AI deepfakes, including images that digitally undress children, is vile.
I am calling on the Attorney General to immediately investigate the company and hold xAI accountable.

Usual failure mode for a first term opposition are a bunch of policy announcements where you look at it and go “you guys remember you’re not in government now, right?”. In some ways, Badenoch has taken to opposition like a duck to water. In other, equally important ways, like a brick to water.
