Superb - and alarming - piece on the torrent of falsehood and disinformation pouring into people's phones, designed to stir up racial hatred.

Who's secretly filming fake TikToks inside Londoners' homes?
We tracked down the viral video account invading people's houses to spread false claims about immigrants.

Such a disgraceful comment from the President who clearly has such limited military knowledge. The death of my family member in Afghanistan tore our family apart. To hear these words yesterday was a further insult. A full immediate apology is needed.

Captain Bonespurs, accompanied by his sidekick JD Vance (who himself became a military photographer to avoid action), insists that other NATO forces stayed back from the front line.
I wonder what the flag waving, Trump supporting poppy police think of the Mango Mussolini's comments...

Capital requirements for UK banks to be lowered.
Safety buffers reduced as govt appeases the finance lobby.
Practical effect will be higher dividends, rather than investment in the real economy.
Public purse will bailout banks. Profits privatised, losses see socialised.

The Bank of England’s capital mistake?
On 2 December 2025, the Bank of England’s Financial Policy Committee announced it would be lowering the capital requirement for UK banks. This column argues that higher macro-financial risk and sharply reduced fiscal capacity point to a need for higher rather than lower bank capital requirements. The most likely practical effect of this weakening of resilience will be higher payouts to bank shareholders, rather than increased lending to the real economy.

Cameron's Government turned down £22m from the EU to fund UK food banks.
Nigel Farage supported the move. Remember that the next time Farage pretends that he's the man of the people and when he suggests that EU "interference" is a bad thing.

Grok will no longer create fake sexualised images of people "in countries where it is illegal".
So algorithms to restrict Grok's use can easily be put in place, but it will still be able to create sexualised images of children in countries which haven't legislated against doing so.

This is how far we've come.
Rather than demanding clear evidence from the American Government that the ICE agent was rammed by Renee Good's vehicle, we are now forced to provide evidence that the fake news provided by the American Government is most likely to be fake news.

Yeah so anyway you're not getting discharged from the hospital the same day if you have internal bleeding in your torso.
Even Grok knows that.

Seven Select Committee Chairs have written jointly to the Prime Minister calling for an explicit ban on cryptocurrency donations in the forthcoming Elections Bill.

A quick question to Brexiters and Trump supporters in the UK...
Now that Trump has seized Venezuela's oil to "Make America Great Again", what's to stop him demanding our North Sea oil or any other physical/ intellectual resources?
If it was the EU taking another nation's oil, how would you react?

People told me that getting a dog makes you healthier.
They didn't say that my dog would beg every day at the local roll shop until they started treating her to pieces of sausages.
And now I feel obligated to buy unhealthy rolls regularly to put money back in their till 😂

Merlin Strategy, run by Scarlet Maguire (formerly of JL Partners) is Farage's favoured polling company. Until very recently, registered at the same address as the Brexit Party's old one.
I'm sure it's just a coincidence.

Those who don't understand politics:

It has increased its spending on weapons by 700% since Trump took office.
