Reform UK party’s senior figures will do anything for a propaganda win. The billionaire-backed racist outfit are always desperate for attention. Now they’re trying to make themselves the primary victim of the alleged murder of former Tory and Reform UK politician Ann Widdicombe. Counter-terror investigation opened Widdicombe was found dead at her Devon home on 9 July 2026. Naturally, the British establishment scrambled to eulogise Widdicombe, a notorious homophobe and reactionary. Waxy TV prattler Piers Morgan even skipped over her bigotry to call her “fun and fiesty”. Counter-terrorism police have now taken over the investigation. Top counter-terror cop Laurence Taylor told…

Zia Yusuf appeared on Question Time on Friday 26th doing his usual arrogant punditry attacking Andy Burnham and other political opponents and doing his best to suggest far-right Reform UK are the best hope for the UK. However, other panelists pointed out that Yusuf has yet to stand in an election for the party — and Yusuf’s response exposed the embarrassing fact that he has indeed tried to stand, he just can’t seem to be selected. Given Farage’s party has seen perverts and white supremacists elected, it leaves you wondering what skeletons are in Reform’s ‘home affairs’ spokesperson. Going further, it…

I don’t usually root for millionaires. In fact, I would say I have a visceral hatred for them. Most corporate biographies offer nothing but exploitative tales of untouchable oligarchs hoarding wealth at our expense. Yet the wild, radical journey of LUSH co-founder Mark Constantine breaks this mould entirely. Hearing about Mark’s humble beginnings, how he experienced homelessness and sleeping under hedges, resonated with me from the start. I’ve been on the streets, and I know how hard it is. The laughter at the launch On Thursday, 28 May, I attended the book launch of Dear John inside the stunning LUSH studio on Beak…

The Bakers, Food and Allied Workers Union (BFAWU) have been pushing forward with the ‘End Not Defend’ campaign to make sexual harassment in the workplace a reportable harm under health and safety regulations. Responding to a recent consultation by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) – which focused on necessary changes to the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 2013 (RIDDOR) – the union has called out the HSE’s failure to address this “critical and longstanding gap in the UK’s workplace safety framework”. Highlighting that sexual harassment has been excluded in the HSE consultation, the BFAWU state: This omission is…
