Today marks nine years since Jo Cox was assassinated by a far-right extremist, a terrible loss to those who knew and loved her and to politics. Zero lessons were learned though and the far-right continues to be pandered to. With more political assassinations in the US it all feels too familiar.

This month, a team endorsed by Guillermo del Toro released Mexico's first stop-motion feature. It's 2 hours of pure imagination. The film is called I Am Frankelda, and we've taken a deep look into how it came to be: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-film-a...

Contrary to media reports after the 2025 local elections, there was no Reform UK landslide, just an outdated voting system that needs reforming.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social thinks Greens can offer a left-wing populist alternative to Farage’s party & a natural home for progressive voters The biggest job we have is to make sure Starmer is more scared of losing votes & seats to #GreenParty than Reform #BackZack www.bigissue.com/news/politic...

A religion that requires the strong-arm of the state to ram its views down the throats of unwilling people is a religion that isn't worth a damn.

Westminster will never wear it. Wales (voted pro Brexit) England (pro Brexit) N.I. (Pro E.U.) and Gibraltar (Pro E.U.) and got what they voted for. Westminster democracy stops there. They ignored 56 of 59 MPs being SNP in 2015. They ignored 62% of Scotland's voters, pro E.U. in 2016 😥

Boris Johnson chose 8 out of the 12 board members at the BBC, and they make decisions on a simple majority of 7. That is why the BBC is such a complete bag of 💩 Fire them all, NOW.

This is fucking insane. The BBC is adjusting output to “win back” Reform voters while ex-Tory spin doctor, Gibb, sits on its board. That’s not public service or impartiality - it’s interference. Bending over for Farage puts the BBC in the gutter with the Daily Mail. bylinetimes.com/2025/06/09/b...

Q: Do you have a message for Greta Thunberg and did she come up on your call with Netanyahu? TRUMP: She's a strange person. She's a young, angry person ... I think she has to go to an anger management class

Viktor Kravchuk We launched one of the biggest operations deep into Russia. ... But tell me, did you see a single image of a bombed apartment? A Russian mother screaming in the dust? A Russian child buried in bricks? No. Because we don’t hit civilians. We fight to live, not to destroy.

Is the BBC giving too much airtime to Reform UK? With me in the studio to discuss this are Nigel Farage, Richard Tice, Lee Anderson and Sarah Pochin.
