It will not surprise you to learn that Toby Youngs 'Free Speech Union' has obtained a High Court injunction banning the publication of a list of its donors open.substack.com/pub/democrac...
Who funds the Free Speech Union?
Toby Young’s outfit went to court to hide its donors. Today we reveal that funders include US anti-abortion groups, Brexit politicians and Tufton Street insiders.

We threw away such a lot for that not-so “special relationship”.
A more confident nation, with more honest politicians, would admit it and make amends with Europe. This is all such bullshit.

David Coote didn't get sacked because he:
-Hates LFC
-Hates scousers
-Hates Jurgen Klopp
-Took Drugs
-Took Bribes
He got sacked because he got caught on camera and left a digital trail.
The PGMOL will now just move on. Anyone that thinks things are now going to change are being naive.

It’s notable, but not exactly surprising, that so many* of the supposedly ‘sensible’ Brexiters have turned out to be mad, racist, hideous and/or stupid Farage fans. Montgomerie, a particularly pungent proof of this particular pudding, has been stealing a living for years.

So, Tim Montgomerie, founder of Conservative Home, defects to Reform.
No shock to me; he bent steadily to the far right from the time I followed him until the time he blocked me for criticising Toby 'dick up your wife's arse' Young.

An inspirational tale for aspiring journalists.
Remember, if you're a sibling of the former Prime Minister, and close personal friends with the current editor of your favourite magazine, and his ex-wife, you too can achieve your childhood dream of becoming its columnist

● And Grandad Nigel wants them to go bust because he doesn't like the ads.

The great patriot doesn’t like the new Jaguar advert, so he hopes they go bust. What a horrid man.

The Times journalist who fought to get the story about the Reform MP who kicked his girlfriend multiple times @georgegreenwood.bsky.social tells how hard the newspaper had to right to get the information released.
So who has been protecting the Reform MP?
So who has been protecting the Reform MP?
As an addendum to this, it took four months to get this information, which would have been publicly available at the time of conviction.
The Times had to appoint counsel and attend a hearing at Westminster Magistrates Court to secure its release. That is not an expense all publishers can afford.
