As we watch the horrific #wildfires devastate France and Spain, I hope people will remember the politicians & individuals that did so much to prevent any attempts to address the #climateemergency, who called net zero a woke anticapitalist scam etc etc. So much to answer for. They never will.
@historia-hwa.bsky.social Hi. I've been trying to contact Frances to pitch pieces but never get a reply. Suspect I'm going to spam. Can you help please?

Even by his own detestable standards, Farage’s self-serving attempts to use Ann Widdecombe's murder politically, despite a police request not to, are a shocking new low.

Interesting how the stench of sleaze follows Mosley-Farage wherever he goes. Anyone would think he is nothing but a low-life grifter, a liar and a crook.
Is this the end of the road for Farage? If not it’s likely the end of the road for British democracy. “Revealed: Nigel Farage secretly funded by convicted criminal” www.thetimes.com/article/aa2f...
I do hope Austria v Spain is known as the Habsburg Derby. Whoever loses, I’m sure they’ll take it on the chin.

Badenoch: to know her is to loathe her. And also, to be astonished that such an unpleasant and arrogant know- nothing should ever have become the leader of a political party. But then it is the Conservative Party.

Despair. New post on my Brexit & Brexitism Blog about how politics is stuck whilst violence intensifies, how ‘the first lie wins’ in constructing political narratives, and how Brexit ruptured the 'cordon sanitaire'. Long and depressing read: chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2026/06/desp...
There is too much focus on Musk and too little focus on how British politics and media have created the conditions for the pogroms in Belfast. Yes, Musk and X should face consequences but it‘s too easy the externalize the reasons for an empowered far right.
