By Indybag Fascists are in Government in Germany. Allow that to sink in. Fascists are rallying in the UK- their conferences are attracting big business. Fascists are sporadically rampaging through our city streets. The left need to help fight back. Socialism is LESS likely- and will be a very dangerous outlook to have – in […]
James Orr is a far right, Class Warrior for the rich. John Medhurst traces his career. Because the UK’s fearless media probably won’t report much on this guy beyond that James Orr is/was “Farage’s chief policy advisor”, which is to say Reform’s Head of Policy, and that he liked the sound of easy cash that […]
By Dave Coull I have only just learned there’s a fascist march through ARBROATH planned for this Saturday, 20th June. They claim there have been multiple rapes by “illegal immigrants” in the town. My quick Google search for “Arbroath protest Saturday 20th June” came up with racist groups in Wales, and in southern England, calling […]
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. At the time of writing the polls are barely open, but by the end of the Summer it’s quite likely, according to polls and pundits, that Burnham will be PM. If Successful in Makerfield today, every indication is that he will be putting his shoulder to the […]
Democracy is on it’s deathbed. By our Political Correspondent. The impulse to silence dissent is becoming a fixture of our political culture. When voices challenge the established consensus, the instinct is often to slam the door rather than engage with the argument.

It is the ideological heir to the hard-right Thatcherism of the 1980s and the exclusionary nationalism of Enoch […]
How Reform Hides Behind Your Phone Screen By Indybag The shift in politics from loudhailers on the town square to the private screen in your pocket is the biggest tactical move we’ve seen in years. For Reform UK, this isn’t just a preference. It is a survival -and perhaps a winning- strategy. By bypassing the […]
By Indybag If you listen to the shouty men on the telly or the grifters on X, they’ll tell you that Reform UK is a new force coming to shake up the establishment. They talk about taking the country back and standing for the real folk against the Westminster elite. But pull back the curtain […]
It wasn’t quite the reaction I expected to my comment; So, Thatcher’s deid at last. The polite response that evening of 8th April 2013 could be summed up by a gently dismissive nod and patronising grimace. It told me what I already knew, that the death of this elderly person in the advanced […]
By our Political Correspondent The stinking hypocrisy of the Scottish Right is curdling. What we are witnessing today with Reform UK in Scotland is not a political movement: it is a grotesque capitalist circus. It is a pantomime of the powerful, orchestrated by a multi-millionaire Baron to silence anyone who does not fit the corporate […]
