NEWS: U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Kuntz in Miami has ruled that the BBC can serve subpoenas to Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump, and Jared Kushner via certified mail and email in Donald Trump's $10 billion defamation lawsuit.
What a complete backfire.

🚨 NEWS: Trump is backing out of a scheduled deposition with BBC lawyers THIS FRIDAY, citing “matters of national importance” after weeks of radio silence. His team now wants to delay his testimony until JANUARY 2027—after discovery closes—and the BBC is asking a judge to FORCE him to testify.

Reform supporting bot traffic falls off a cliff after a Russian data centre is hit.
Because, patriotism 🇬🇧

Monday morning deserves a brutal wake up call today.
Because, forgive me- I couldn't sleep all night WONDERING why a black man was crucified to death for allegedly copying some work and a former girlfriend of Michael Gove (they broke up weeks ago reportedly) and Oxford University professor..has been GRACED with what looks like a partial media blackout for being charged with possessing INDECENT IMAGES of kids.
Why aren't you all having a frenzy over this? Pray tell...I'm waiting with coffee in hand.

The story that mysteriously disappeared suddenly came back
Michael Gove's ex facing trial for possession of child abuse images dailymail.com/news/article-1… via @DailyMail

One of the men in this picture is a politician currently serving 10 and a half years in prison for accepting Russian bribes. The other was his boss and doesn't think there's evidence of Russia interfering in UK politics.

Extremely important piece from @guardian. Two major polling firms in cahoots with Reform should be a police matter. Chris Bruni-Low also publicly declared to have worked for George Cottrell's allies in Montenegro, PES, the party the of the sitting PM @MickeySpajic. Who is paying?
EXCL: A close adviser to Nigel Farage had an influential role at a national polling company despite not being publicly associated with the firm @Direthoughts & @rowenamason reveal.
Chris Bruni-Lowe, Farage’s private pollster for many years, played an important role in the operations of Redfield & Wilton Strategies and used it to develop potential campaign strategies.

"Tate ... a very important voice for men." said Nigel Farage.
🚨🇺🇸 Andrew and Tristan Tate’s extradition package has been published.
There are allegations of “possession of extreme pornography” where prosecutors allege there was evidence on Andrew’s device depicting intercourse with a horse and an eel.
One of the indecent images of a child allegations claims Andrew and an adult female are in a sexualized video with a female child.
Another alleges he was selling sexual content of her on WhatsApp and she was working on webcam.

She's part of the Toby Young far-right network and writes for the Critic and the Spectator (with her now ex as editor). She's part of the Oxford equivalent of what Orr is doing in Cambridge, though it seems the former's work is more closely connected to the uni and transparent.

Amazing how just a week ago the Mail reported that Michael Gove had split up with his girlfriend yet managed not to mention him in its report today about her being charged with possession of indecent images of child porn.
Would a former Labour minister have been left out?
Dr Ian McCormick retweeted
Notice how this rag @spectator @Telegraph and @michaelgove have avoided the story around Gove’s partner who has been charged with having indecent child pictures in her possession. @Cambridge_Uni notice how this story is far more serious than that of Professor Arday but received
Dr Ian McCormick retweeted
Why is there barely any mention of the appropriately named Lola Salem - the suddenly ex-girlfriend of camp Conservative ghoul Michael Gove - in our national media? Lola faces child porn charges.
I promise you if Lola was trans, an asylum seeker or had zero connections to power the story would be everywhere.
Dr Ian McCormick retweeted
Ah so the circles closes. Michael Gove's former girlfriend, charged for possessing indecent images of children, collaborated with a neo-Nazi conspiracy theorist whose spurious libel suit against a Jewish artist was financed by Reform UK megadonor Ben Delo
Dr Ian McCormick retweeted
Apparently accusations of plagiarism warrant hounding a man to death but possession of child exploitation material isn’t remotely newsworthy. rich white people can commit the most heinous acts but Black and Brown people are terrorized just for existing.
