Just seen an article on BBC Sport suggesting that Trump's FIFA peace prize award may have been in someway corrupt. And I am shocked to my core.

Interesting that the BBC will call National Rally "Far Right" (in an article about Bardella meeting Farage) - when they would never use that term for Reform. Their policies are very similar. If anything Reform's are more authoritarian.

So today I found out that my TED talk ‘This is What a Digital Coup Looks Like’ was TED’s most watched talk of the year.
It’s sort of amazing & terrifying. Because this *is* what a digital coup looks like.

We despair that the rightwing keep shifting the Overton Window further right. They never suggest that leaving the ECHR is impossible or not the right time. They just demand it. And we end up discussing it.
It’s time the left pushed back.
Not put up ‘can’t do’ barriers to our own hopes and aims.

MPs have voted to PASS our bill to establish a UK-EU customs union.
The Prime Minister must now listen to his own MPs, drop his self-imposed red lines and finally go for proper growth through an ambitious trade deal with the EU.

What a victory! Today MPs narrowly backed our bill to cut the Brexit red tape and end this economic nightmare.
The PM must listen to Parliament and the public, drop his self-imposed red lines and go for growth with a new customs union.

It's really quite mad that Companies House, a government website which lists every company in the UK, has only just started verifying that the people who register as directors of companies are who they say they are on 18 November, 2025. companieshouse.blog.gov.uk/2025/10/16/m...

From 18 November 2025, directors and people with significant control (PSCs) will be legally required to verify their identity. Read more about the identity verification process.
