The Far Right are Heading to Arbroath… So Are We.

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 […]

Labour’s Latest Mistake: Stop Banning Journalists

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. The recent restriction to the entry of commentators like Hasan Piker and Cenk […]

Nu-Thatcherism to the Putinist Model

The political entity currently known as Reform UK presents itself as a radical departure from the established order, yet a closer inspection reveals it to be a rebranding of the most regressive elements of British political history. It is the ideological heir to the hard-right Thatcherism of the 1980s and the exclusionary nationalism of Enoch […]

Take Back Control: How Farage is Fooling Us.

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 […]

Reform: The Tory B Team.

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 […]

The Bad and The Ugly by Val Waldron

    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 […]

The Baron, the Millionaires, the Bosses, and the Bitter Betrayal of the duped Reform Rank and File

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 […]

Why Hungary’s Soul is on the Ballot

By our Political Correspondent. There is a chill settling over the Danube that has nothing to do with the spring air. As the people of Hungary prepare to head to the polls this coming Sunday, 12 April 2026, they aren’t just choosing a government. They are deciding whether the concept of truth still has a […]
