Two governments took The News Agents to secret court for two years via a constitutionally unprecedented superinjunction to stop you from hearing this story.

The MoD is responsible for a data leak that put up to 100,000 Afghans at risk of death.

'He's executed the 'peace through strength' argument pretty well.'

Should Donald Trump have won the Nobel Peace Prize? @lewisgoodall.com hears from supporter Greg Swenson.

“There is not a political figure in Britain who has enjoyed a better press, on the basis of such scant success.”
I actually quite like Kemi Badenoch. But she is subject to a myth she doesn't deserve: a Tory recovery which just doesn't exist. Despite endless positive coverage, the Tories are still going backwards. And they deserve to be.

Piece from me.

"No matter how often [the Tory press] write that 'Badenoch had had a good week' - it is not a message you can direct-debit into people's brains until they vote Conservative." This is excellent 👇

Great piece about the Conservative Right living in an alternative universe.

'There is nothing so powerful in British politics as the right wing unreality machine. It is its own Faraway Tree, a place where anything is possible, where anything can be manifested, if you think it hard enough.'

"There is no political figure in Britain that gets a better press than Kemi Badenoch right now.

"The Tory press are manifesting a Tory recovery. They're desperate for it to happen," says @lewisgoodall.com.

Is a Badenoch bounce real, or has the right wing media made it all up?

Couldn’t be prouder that my doc Coining It won best True Crime at the British Podcast Awards. Testament to the work of brilliant teams at Global and Free Turn, led by Robbie Ashcroft and Ciaran Tracey.

Was a privilege of a story to tell- a tale of crime, politics and class.

Any political party which tells you money doesn’t buy influence is either lying to you or has never attended a political fundraiser.

Currency is access- and that’s for everyone.

My opener to Sunday with Lewis Goodall @lbc.co.uk this morning.

Am on @lbc with @lewisgoodall.com shortly talking about how two crypto billionaires have given £72m to Reform and why British democracy is for sale.
September 13, 2026 at 9:04 AM
Astounding story. Reform receives a *second* £36m donation from a crypto billionaire in 48 hours.

Christopher Harborne- the £5m benefactor- has matched Ben Delo's money pound for pound.

£72m in total. Approaching US politics sort of money.

This is smart analysis. I had not thought of it previously, but it would be politically suicidal before the Holborn and St Pancras by-election for the government to go ahead with:
1. More drilling in the North Sea; and
2. Mahmood's immigration reforms.
Makerfield shaped the government Burnham formed- Holborn might just shape the government it becomes.

Latest from me on Polanski's big gamble and why this by-election could be among the most important yet. goodallandgoodluck.substack.com/p/zack-polan...

Two train journeys across the UK this week. Both delayed by more than 4 hours between them. Hundreds of pounds for the privilege. Joke infrastructure, joke country.

"She had the politics of authenticity before the politics of authenticity became a thing."

"She managed to make both Republicans and Democrats adore her."

@jonsopel1.bsky.social and @lewisgoodall.com reflect on how Dolly Parton did politics, without ever doing politics.
August 26, 2026 at 2:35 PM
Almost never feel sad about celebrity deaths- but felt so moved all day today about Dolly Parton. What a woman. The story of America. We’ve recorded a special ep of News Agents about her politics and why she- uniquely- transcended even the bitterest partisan divides. In your feeds at 5pm.
August 26, 2026 at 2:51 PM
Dolly Parton dead- hard to think of a more famous woman in the world. A few years ago, there was a poll which showed she was the cultural figure both Democrats and Republicans most mutually loved and admired. Virtually unique. Testament to her achievement.

This will be a national crisis- adding to the profound generational inequities which already bedevil Britain. Working class kids have long not had the support they needed as the mass employment industrial world disappeared. Will we repeat the mistake with graduates? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Graduate job vacancies drop by almost 50% in a year, survey suggests
Job site Adzuna said the number of graduate vacancies was the lowest since 2016
