"Dear Diary, Final day of campaigning for the Clacton by-election. Whatever the result tomorrow, I can at least rest assured that I will be a total laughing stock and look like an attention-seeking crybaby."

In the last 18 years in the UK, just one group of individuals has constantly gained wealth at an incredible rate. The billionaires. They don't pay tax, and apparently the Government can't control them in any way. It's probably all those donations and gifts they get.

With her relentless campaigning for Palestine, I am in awe of Miriam Margolyes. What we can see is gradually people realizing at last that what Israel has done should be recorded as a shocking behaviour , where mankind's cruelty exceeded all borders.

There is an energy wobble going on affecting the www & comms as well as our intuitive connections. You might feel like your head is not your own or that everything is racing too fast. It’s going to take a couple of days to pass. Stay in the moment & try to flow with how you feel. 💜

A barrister represents his clients in court. Clients who are political dissidents. He now faces criminal prosecution for doing so. Not Turkey. Not Egypt. Not Russia. England. Astonishing, deeply disturbing, and part of a long slide towards authoritarianism. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

If you’re wondering why UK press has suddenly woken up to Farage, please read this. It’s because: Brexit. The r/w press refused to scrutinise the money behind Farage & the lawsuit against me scared off the rest. But this isn’t a new scandal. It’s the same one I’ve been reporting on for a decade

NEW: Who funds Nigel Farage? And why has it taken till now for any journalistic scrutiny? @carolecadwalla.bsky.social who has tracked him for a decade exposes how the UK press & regulators looked the other way 🧵👇

Farage the money launderer and me: a decade of denial

Please read this 🧵 It explains so much about Britain in 2026. Thatcher & her supporters based policies on the notion that individuals had to provide for themselves. She reversed policies that benefit communities &the country. We are living her vision - the rich get richer and the poor die young 🙁

A little friendly disagreement. Thatcher left office 36 years ago. Thatcherism didn't. Those are different things. Politicians leave. Political settlements can last for generations. I think we're still living inside the one she created.

"The Romans occupied England from the 1st to the 5th century, so anyone of Roman descent has a historical claim to the land." It's one of the best sketches I've ever seen, it is so accurate and highlights the situation in Palestine.

Ed Davey: “[Stephen Yaxley Lennon] is a useful idiot for a hostile state. What kind of so-called British patriot jets to Moscow to rub shoulders with Putin’s cronies, bankrolled by a US trillionaire? We must protect our democracy from far-right thugs, shady tech bros and foreign interference."

Trump voters tell us that they want to ban trans athletes because they so sincerely want to "protect girls and women." And yet they voted for a man who routinely insults, manhandles, and rapes girls and women. As usual, their actions are deafening compared to their words.

Penelope Keith had the extraordinary ability to poke fun at the cruellest qualities of Englishness, without ever making the material cruel. She created characters who were ludicrous, superior, bigoted, without ever being unlikeable or cold. It is one of the greatest magic tricks an actor can pull.
