I honestly can't believe this. NottinghamshireLive have just been told we are now banned from interviewing Reform's Notts County Council leader or any of his colleagues. The ban will be lifted for emergencies like flooding or incidents at council-run schools. nottinghampost.com/news/news-opin…

BBC is UK's broadcaster of record. For the nominally intelligent people who run BBC, the man who killed his husband with a samurai sword is a woman, even though we all know he is a man. Intellectual/professional integrity sacrificed on altar of genderism telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/08/2…

If you want an illustration of the unseriousness of our current politics, Reform are now saying the Government should renegotiate the deal that end the Troubles in Northern Ireland - one of the greatest achievements of post war British politics bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Europe’s rearmament is happening at historic speed. Since russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Europe has been expanding military factory capacity three times faster. From 790,000 m² in 2020-2021 to 2.8 million m² in 2024-2025 - a true “rearmament of historic proportions.” 1/n

Andrew Neil’s article is a fact free zone in respect of subsidies - more on that later - meanwhile he rather stupidly cites Sweden as a country with low energy prices compared to the UK (moan, groan) unaware presumably that 70% of Sweden’s energy is green - far more than over

I spoke to Peter Bearne for ITV News Central this evening on the unprecedented ban Reform have issued against Nottinghamshire Live. ITV took a stance by giving this item top billing on their Central bulletin, devoting eight minutes to the issue in total. This won’t go away.

Three former Nottinghamshire County Council leaders, two Conservative and one Labour, have denounced Reform’s NottinghamshireLive ban today. One said: “I think it flies in the face of the openness and transparency that the ratepayers of Nottinghamshire deserve." nottinghampost.com/news/local-new…

“Vladimir Putin is in trouble. Isolated, outmanoeuvred, and stalled on the battlefield, Russia is tottering financially and militarily, while Zelensky's Ukraine continues to hold the upper hand.” ⁦A good piece from ⁦Engelsberg Ideas⁩ engelsbergideas.com/essays/russias…
