Just wilful performative cruelty that is entirely out of step with the majority of British people.

How many Labour MPs got into politics in order to vote for stealing jewellery off of people seeking refuge from war and persecution?

NFL Veterans Day flyovers, honor guards canceled due to shutdown
November is usually filled with NFL “Salute to Service” events that feature the military — but with no government funding, it’s a no-go this year.

EU steel tariff hike threatens 'biggest ever crisis' for UK industry.

Crisis deepened by Brexit, Trump tariffs, trade wars, privatisation and lack of investment. Huge subsidies continue.

It is now either nationalisation or death of the industry.

“The Chancellor sparked anger when she revealed that govt wants to enable young people from Europe and UK to work and travel overseas”

FFS.
What ‘Brexit freedom’ exactly is being betrayed here?
The freedom to NOT be free to work and travel overseas?

One of the stupidest front pages I’ve ever seen.

THIS IS SHOCKING - the financial links between MPs and the private healthcare sector. We have just completed research showing that...

MPs received more than £2.7m in donations from individuals and companies directly or indirectly connected to the private healthcare sector between 2023 and 2025 🚨

It’s a coup. It’s a strategic alliance with Putin. It’s the end of the post-war international order. It’s the triumph of lies over truth and in Putin’s case, evil over good. We are through the looking glass & we all now have to decide who we are & what we stand for

This Byline Times story on Farage pictured with far-right activists has not been picked up by any established media outlet - including liberal/democratic/left publications. Why? Because people like being comfortable in their own power and status.

The newspaper I edit will keep sounding the alarm.

Oh please. Since when has out-bastarding Farage ever worked? You just pull political debate to the right, punch down on the vulnerable, whip up prejudice and actually deliver naff all. Look at the last 14yrs of Farage-induced failure.
