On Monday, I led the debate on Russian influence on British politics. There are a number of changes in law I hope are included in this bill:
❌ Banning cryptocurrency donations
❌ Ensuring ALL Think Tanks declare their funding
❌ Strengthening independence of Electoral Commission
And much, much more.

Ps let alone the fact the twin pack doesn't have double the single pack. It should be a one and a half pack.

🧵6/6
Key points
Russian threat clear, present, serious
Reform heavily involved in manipulation
Details cited
Treason and fraud stated
MPs dismissing Russian interference are lying
Press not reporting and media playing down is misleading public
This should be shared widely by MPs, media, and us.

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...

It's in Dumbarton Road, if you fancy a trim.

I asked Gemini AI to create 'stereotypical British person living in poverty'. This is what got. People affected by poverty are dirty, live in squalor, smoke, drink booze, eat unhealthy food, watch shite telly all day etc etc etc. It'd be funny if it wasn't informing people.

Someone needs to do a study on the stereotypes reproduced by AI and ReimagineUK. Racist, sexist, anti working class shite regurgitated to many thousands for clicks. Working class women are often by bins and working class men outside Greggs or signing on. Bizarre and ugly stuff.

Byline times again doing the hard graft that so many of the Westminster lobby & billionaire owned press & media fail to do. So much of the good stuff (& there is much) done by Labour is ignored in favour of Trump’s latest outrage, Westminster gossip & exclusives from “unnamed sources”.

England's water companies have paid £85bn in dividends.
Borrowed £82.7bn. 35% of customer covers interest payments and shareholder payouts.
Sewage in rivers, insecure water supplies. Customer complaints up 50% last year. No exec prosecuted
Govt response - abolished fines on water companies.

I’d love Americans to be asked if they had to have their taxes finance one thing over the other, would they prefer it to be a healthcare system that doesn’t bankrupt them, or ICE.
I’m guessing the numbers might surprise the news media…
