I’ve always said it will be the Tories who undo Brexit eventually. Not Labour. Obviously now a bit complicated by their own undoing. But still. When the Telegraph can say it why not Keir Starmer ?

The tide is turning. Even the Telegraph is now admitting the damage the Brexit deal has done to the economy.

A very weird 72 hours for fans of Brexit... First, one of the original Economists for Brexit gang admitted it was a disaster. archive.ph/2025.11.26-150… And today the Telegraph lined up behind that view too. archive.ph/2025.11.29-132… Are they trying to leave Labour holding the bag?

The evidence about who Nigel Farage really is has been in plain sight for many years and yet the UK media, in particular the BBC will not rest until they have propelled him to No 10. Who funds him? Why do the media support him? Who wants him in power?

Mark Damazer, speaking at an event, "suggested (Robbie) Gibb should have recused himself from judging the BBC output in relation to the Middle East, given that for four years, he was the beneficial owner of the Jewish Chronicle." @guardian

NEW: Toxic culture of distrust at BBC led to recent resignations, former deputy director says. Suggests Gibb should’ve recused himself over Gaza coverage. Mark Damazer is a figure people listen to on the BBC. Huge row still raging over bias claims… theguardian.com/media/2025/nov…

An extraordinary turn of events. The chill wind of Trump litigation against media organisations working exactly as it is intended. And another example of the internal neurosis over a largely irrelevant Panorama edit resulting in *more* partial coverage of Trump, not less.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture. They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

I’m a past winner of the Orwell Prize & won partly because I exposed Vote Leave’s unlawful activities. Michael Gove was its co-convener & refused to answer a single q. He’s now a judge of the prize & our world is truly one that Orwell would recognise bylinetimes.com/2025/11/25/mic…

Newmarket MP Matt Hancock gave a £37bn Covid testing contract to Jockey Club director Dido Harding, who subcontracted it to Grand National sponsor Randox, employer of Tory MP Owen Paterson, whose late wife chaired Aintree racecourse. That's how the Tories handled the pandemic.

Economists estimate that the UK has 1.8m fewer jobs now than it would have had without Brexit. You did that. Now fuck off, we know what your brand of reform looks like already.
