The Trump regime is working to deter dissent. Anyone who goes against Trump could end up on a target list. This is having a chilling effect on five major pillars of society — universities, science, the media, the law, and the arts. It's straight out of the fascist playbook.

Just found out that M&S are advertising on GB News Radio. M&S talk a lot about their 'green' credentials – so do they really want to be spending money with a channel that spreads climate misinformation?

GB News actually aired commentary likening "the LGBT flag" to Nazi imagery (content warning) Is this really a channel that M&S are comfortable to align with? You can take action by leaving a comment on the M&S Facebook page asking them to #StopFundingHate www.facebook.com/MarksandSpen...

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.

Reeves may well be under pressure at the moment, but that pressure is not emanating from across the aisle. She battered Stride. "Their economic strategy seems to be not to engage with the world's second largest economy, or indeed with our largest trading partner, the EU." ~AA

Tories now permanently stuck in Brexit-failure shit creek, demanding they flounce out of every institution with ‘European’ in its name, to avoid the rules and responsibilities that all our neighbours share. The notion that these evil morons should oversee our human rights is sinister in the extreme.

57 companies are responsible for 80% of global greenhouse gas emissions since 2016. These companies include fossil fuel giants like Chevron, Shell, and BP, who have been raking in record profits. The profits of Big Oil should not be more important than the future of our planet.

The Daily Mail has never been pro-British- it has always been pro-fascist. The Daily Mail is owned by the 4th Viscount Rothermere, passed on from 3rd, 2nd & 1st Viscounts. It’s been a tool of hereditary power & privilege undermining our democracy. Musk & Trump excite them to take their mask off.

Back in 2010 (Eye 1276), we reported on the appalling child protection failures in Rotherham that allowed grooming gangs to thrive. More articles in Rotten Boroughs since have criticised and kept tabs on the council and police officers who had sought to minimise evidence of large-scale abuse.

Our tabloid press in the UK are so craven... ...that when a foreign billionaire in a foreign government attacks our national reputation - they make no effort at national defence or balance in reporting, but just eat up and regurgitate the red meat. The British tabloid press is anti-British.
