My question here is simple; of those 185k people who've attended a briefing, was a single one not already worried about climate change and wanting further action?

There we have it. Reform officially ditches its pledge - or rather, its 2024 "contract" with voters - to back proportional representation. A clear breach of contract... Via Politico:

In other Reform news: Second-in-command Richard Tice finally admitted that now the voting system Farage has long railed against could help him win a general election, the party no longer wants to scrap it. Farage used to want first-past-the-post replaced with a form of proportional representation. Hereā€™s the line: ā€œIn order to rescue the country from the gravity of the chaos that we face, actually a proper majority is needed from a right of center, conviction-led Reform government,ā€ Tice told Times Radio this morning. Asked whether that meant Reform no longer wants electoral reform, he said: ā€œYes, because the crisis is so great.ā€

Current reading: @nafeez.bsky.social's "Alt Reich".

This is a rich deep-dive into the multinational UK/US/Europe network of far-right personas and organizations that have been working to destroy democracy around the world. This is scary stuff, and necessary reading to understand today's back story.

Even the Telegraph describes "Tommo" as a "far-right activist." Not so the BBC - which has a track record of sending its own reporters to harass people trying to cross the channel.

Here's Rupert Lowe MP's payments from X Corp over the past year. This man is making serious cash from Musk's platform. Payments surged over the summer, during UK 'unrest', and when Musk was frantically re-sharing Lowe's posts... Bleak, lucrative work if you can get it.

Line chart plotting 21 payments from X Corp to Rupert Lowe MP, as declared in the Register of Members' Financial Interests. The x-axis runs from 3 September 2025 to 16 September 2026; the y-axis shows the value of each fortnightly payment in pounds, from zero to Ā£12,000. Payments run between roughly Ā£1,100 and Ā£2,200 through late 2025, rise gradually through spring 2026 to around Ā£3,000ā€“Ā£3,800, then jump sharply to Ā£11,724.97 on 10 June 2026 and Ā£10,265.50 in July. From there they fall in five consecutive steps ā€” Ā£4,412.76, Ā£3,126.35, Ā£2,885.36, Ā£2,542.04 ā€” to Ā£2,413.89 on 16 September 2026, a fall of 79% from the June peak. Two things worth carrying with the graphic whichever version you use. The July point is marked with an asterisk because the register gives its received date as 7 August 2026 while recording it as registered on 15 July. Plotted it at the likelier 7 July.

FINALLY thereā€™s reporting on this! It only took literally years. But while @nafeez.bsky.socialā€™s exposĆ© is a good start, thereā€™s a whole lot more, including the fascist bookshop in London, Powerā€™s overt neo-Nazi affiliations in recent years, and support by philosophers like Stock and James Oor
