Revolting, ghastly people. Georgia Gould was new labour royalty. Mandelson is a close, decades long, family friend. They all knew what kind of man he was.

The Greens just won 4 seats. Reform just won 4 seats. But the legacy media had already decided its agenda before we had those results - so guess which party gets the most attention…. We’ll be discussing that, and more, at 6pm on Novara Media

It’s almost amusing that media across much of the West has tried to claim that there are no actual Muslims in Iran, that it’s all a fugazi, and that actually they are secret zoroastrians.

The mere presence of young people, together, in public space, is now considered anti-social & unacceptable. Hard to see how such idiocy doesn’t become worse in an ageing society.

I asked Peter Hitchens if Britain’s political establishment had done one thing well in forty years. One single thing!! Here was his answer.

All this was once the property of a single family. Now everyone gets to enjoy it. The National Trust is such an extraordinary treasure to this country. (The Vyne, in north Hampshire. It’s gorgeous!)

You’ve lost Gen X, sunbed America. It’s over. She just loves kids, and you can’t cancel her over Israel.

A few years ago everyone was seemingly going to Saudi and the UAE. Remember that? “Come to Dubai habibi! Britain is finished!” Yet now British taxpayers are PAYING to defend Saudi Arabia. YOU are paying to defend a country which wants our tax exiles. It’s madness.

Very common. I’ve seen whole carriages where every single window is smashed. British transport police basically don’t exist anymore. If you want more people to use trains this stuff should anger you.

I spoke to protest organisers earlier in the week, and they were confident today would be Britain’s largest protest since 2003. Looks like they were right.

The account that posted this on Instagram said the police were called. They proceeded to give a police reference number and….not turn up. In large parts of the country the police simply no longer exist. It’s not just resources. It’s personnel.

This Birmingham bin man, & father of 5, is now set to be £8,000 a year worse off because of Birmingham council. The national media wants you to think hard working, family men like this are the problem. People like him are the backbone of the country.

Starmer lets the cat out of bag. He mentions Trident and then adds “and that depends on the United States”. It does. It’s not an independent deterrent. The missiles are leased from the Americans and can only be serviced…in America.

Labour’s idiotic position on Palestine Action, which now means Sally Rooney can’t sell books in the UK, is precisely the sort of issue Greens should relentlessly focus on. Burnham’s weakness is the gap between rhetoric and reality. Focus on that - and focus some more! Simple!

This is Waterlooville, in Hampshire. My wife’s friend took this video and was kind enough to let me share it. While politicians and the London media live in a parallel universe this is reality for much of UK. Economic malaise & high streets that look like a zombie film.

‘Chelmsley Wood Patriots’ stopping Indian guys - one studying for his masters - and telling them to stay in their house and not come back. That’s right: they’re trying to create actual ‘no go zones’. Intimidating, yobbish behaviour.

This is insane. Labour’s Bridget Phillipson says she took a £14,000 donation, primarily to throw a birthday party. She’s smiling while she divulges this information. I’m genuinely in awe that they don’t appear to see how bad this looks.

Good on these people for standing up to this. A reminder: the government is presently looking to make *cuts* to British transport police.

Carbon capture and storage is basically a psy op. It’s a ‘delaying technology’, as Professor Kevin Anderson puts it.

Israel is foreign aid, but for Conservatives. “We should put this country first, not other places…” “Like Israel? Because that’s all I’ve heard about for days….” 70% of Tory MPs were members of Conservative Friends of Israel before 2024. Be friends of your constituents!

“English people should be allowed to be proud of being English, in England” Mick Lynch talking unadulterated common sense to Irish media. If you think otherwise, fine, but be aware your political project is a complete non-starter.
