X ceased being a public square years ago, and over the last month, it’s degraded even further.

A platform that enables the creation non-consensual sexualised images of women and children cannot be treated as neutral ground - and governments choosing to stay are endorsing it.

Enough is enough.
Staying on X is an Endorsement - and It's Unforgivable
The UK government cannot claim to protect women and children while continuing to post on a platform that enables their abuse.

Farage says he will now vote against scrapping the two-child limit. In case it benefits “foreign-born people”.

It’s not just the racism, it’s the out-of-control personal greed, combined with the staggering meanness.

He’s a repulsively inadequate man.

I wrote to the @telegraph.co.uk at the time to complain about the false narrative about death squads & request a right of reply.

They ignored me.

Maybe they’d like to offer me the opportunity of an op-ed now?

Both Reform & the Tories openly call for ICE-style immigration enforcement squads in the UK.

While Labour tries to compete by boasting about its own number of raids & deportations that are barely any different.

Immigration enforcement shot two more people in the US overnight.

A few months ago Chris Philp called me “unhinged” in a Telegraph article about a video I made.

In it I warned about the brutality of ICE, & argued those who appease Trump would open the door to Fascism here too. I was called ‘hysterical’.

I have 0 regrets about that message.

This confirms our worst fears.

Labour want to divert taxpayers money from our public services to pay for their mandatory Digital ID scheme.

The Lib Dems fought against Labour’s ID plans before and won, and we can do it again.

When he was chasing a headline, Nigel Farage said he’d scrap the two child limit.

Now Labour’s actually doing it, he’s going to vote against.

You’re a fraud Nigel Farage.

Channel 4 News close to examplary this evening. It pains me to point out that some people working for the broadcast partner of Bari Weiss's CBS News, the BBC, could learn a lot from Matt Frei & Anushka Asthana. But I also wonder how much 'balance' we give to obvious liars, however powerful they are.

If the Palestine Action hunger strikers die - which they could do at any moment, as they are now very close to the end - it will be the government that killed them. Today’s column explains why. Please share, and write urgently to your MP.

It is not enough for the government to simply condemn the establishment of more illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank; the UK must take concrete action.

Ban all trade with illegal settlements and refuse to have anything to do with the proceeds of crime.

Not commenting on Venezuela is one thing, but Starmer's ministers not even being willing to say "no of course the US shouldn't invade a peaceful sovereign democratic NATO country, which is one of our closest allies" is quite another.
