There’s an ‘intimate connection’ between the workings of the US empire and the UK media. And they didn’t just batter the left in the Jeremy Corbyn years. They also set us up with a cold, rotten dish of Keir Starmer, Peter Mandelson, and their ilk of soulless corporate stooges. Filmmaker Victor Fraga made the film […]

5 February 2026 @ 9:00 pm
Keir Starmer has ‘apologised’ for Peter Mandelson in a speech in Sussex. Kind of, but not really. You know the kind of thing.

5 February 2026 @ 5:00 pm
Former MP Rory Stewart has no idea what a low income is.
