It’s not easy to admit it to ourselves, but almost all our papers are run with an active agenda set by expat billionaires - and we have BBC News run by Robbie Gibb.
We need journalism which isn't owned by billionaires.
1/ We have now exceeded over 4 million reads of our Powerful Citizen journalism in 2025 and rising. Help us look forward to a brilliant 2026 by supporting citizen voices and becoming a friend of Bylines Network

The same MSM widely blowing smoke up Farage’s arse are precisely the same ones coming for Labour with everything they’ve got - because this is the most progressive government we’ve had in generations. And they are delivering. This terrifies the right: With. Everything. They’ve. Got.

Farage rarely turned up to vote when he was an MEP.
But, he did turn up to vote against the EU’s anti-Russia interference motion.
He said it was a “hoax”.
He voted against strengthening Europe’s defences against foreign interference.

Brexit is the biggest self-harm. UK economy hasn't recovered.
