‘Labour antisemitism’ saboteur, JLM boss Ella Rose, ousted from council seat
8 May 2026 @ 10:35 pm
Ella Rose is one of the most notorious faces of the BBC’s disgraced 2019 hatchet-job “Is Labour antisemitic?”. The programme misleadingly edited Labour emails to smear Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour. It also featured a weepy-looking Rose (now Rose-Jacobs) and others telling viewers about the supposed antisemitism they had faced within the party. The documentary left out […]

8 May 2026 @ 10:12 pm
Jordan Devlin was part of the ‘Filton 24’ Palestine Action activists who damaged Israeli arms-maker Elbit’s factory in Bristol.

8 May 2026 @ 9:35 pm
The Green Party has gained six councillors in Sheffield, while Reform has gained 12. Labour, on the other hand, has lost its council leader.

8 May 2026 @ 9:06 pm
It’s pretty fucking obvious from the current crop of Reform UK councillors that they either weren’t vetted or the party doesn’t care about letting in abusers and violent men. Among the newly elected is Stuart John Prior, who celebrated Sikh women being raped. And sure to be elected in Sunderland is Glenn Gibbons, who suggested […]
By Rachel Charlton-DaileyStop making excuses: the UK is filled with racists who’ll happily vote Reform
8 May 2026 @ 8:57 pm
Make no mistake: Great Britain has always been a far-right, racist circus; currently, that circus is gathering in the shape of Reform’s sweeping victories in the local elections. After all, let’s remember that Nigel Farage has not just waved a magic wand and tricked loads of people into voting for him. Instead, he’s piped his […]

Two ‘mainstream’ hacks — one liberal and one right-wing — have chummily agreed with each other that ‘good local MPs’ are ‘cancer’ to national politics. Lewis Goodall couldn’t wait to agree with Tory Henry Hill on Hill’s comment in response to Goodall’s observation on Nigel Farage. Clacton residents complain they never see Farage and he […]
