Refuse "Cults of Personality". Refuse placing individuals on pedestals for any purpose especially that of building followings to empower those individuals and their chosen few, no matter how beneficial it may seem. Refuse cultures that place individualism above collectivism. Refuse strategies that entrench hierarchies. Refuse messages that use identity as a tool to achieve any aim. Refuse to accept faith above evidence. Refuse to allow 'memory holes' and the delusions they create. Refuse to be silent in the face of almost religious fervor around so-called 'political' leaders. This is where #NOGODS culture starts.

@jfwduffield These are known as "Trusted Flaggers", and are all connected to The Omidyar Network. Both left and right are threatened by these sinister nutters.

The list of organisations OFCOM considers sources of authority. The Good Law Project, Hope Not Hate, Tell MAMA & British Future. Beyond parody.

Something ugly happens to most vaguely progressive politicians as soon as they sense power. An old video, for example, shows Labour's Shabana Mahmood calling for a boycott of Israel, years before the Gaza genocide. Now, as home secretary, she's Israel's biggest cheerleader, and ready to tear up cherished speech and protest rights to protect Israel. So what to make of Andy Burnham's Labour leadership bid? He's being hailed as on Labour's "soft left". It's hard not to have a sinking feeling at the news that Josh Simons MP, a Starmer hatchet man – exposed for commissioning a spying operation on journalists investigating the unlawful actions of Starmer's team – has given up his Makerfield seat to help Burnham oust Starmer. Simons is praised by Labour allies for continuing the long-running antisemitism smear campaign against what they term "the hard left": that is, the tiny number of democratic socialists still in a Labour party that once identified as socialist. The Guardian reports that Simons "is Shabana Mahmood’s beast – lock, stock and barrel". And now he's personally salvaging Burnham's chances of becoming prime minister. Burnham is reported to have showered praise on Simons. Burnham scents power. Make no mistake: it will come at a heavy price.

@skwawkbox 👀

‘Think Labour’ claims it’s not a Labour Together rebrand. It’s exactly that... thecanary.co/skwawkbox/2026…

@Pome244908 @jodymcintyre_ @DrOsitaMba Dont forget the CCDH!

@jodymcintyre_ @DrOsitaMba @BTimberley Exactly that organisation should be shut down for destroying democracy in this country

If you look at their website, the company number shown is still the number for Labour Together. It means Think Labour is just a trading name of Labour Together. Same organisation totally. They're doing it for SEO and PR reasons 100%.

Hope Not Hate are a spook outfit. With deep ties to the profitable international (pro-western) censorship business. With the Omidyar Network at its forefront - supporting tech co's. This shouldn't be a brag, it should be an apology... and yet the post is what it is.

The British institution and public resource that is EY's twitter feed. #NATIONALISESHITPOSTING

@nfbmagazine IoW selected because the lefty group there is tight knit, all know and respect each other, and the YP spooks / grifters want to undermine them all.

BREAKING NEWS: STALIN HEADS 1st YP BRANCH! Catty Bellend, YP Branch Development, just told a hushed audience of six (pigeons). "Cde Stalin, assisted by Cde Pol Pot has taken over YP Isle of Wight Branch, after a vote overseen by Cde Gerry Mander". Seriously: branch officers elected before the branch has met irl and members do not know who others are? A new low for the Corbyn Cult: no doubt soon to be surpassed

On the face of it, great news. 👍🏻 Can you let me know if you're covered by Impress or PINF? I hope neither. Also, has Sovereign ever received any funding from any NGO's or "Charities" like Luminate, The Omidyar Network, OSF or Craig Newmark Philanthropies? Due Dil. 👌🏻

I'm sure it's got nothing to do with both of you being tied in to the Omidyar Network has it Caroline?

@DrRebeccaTidy Abuse of men is real, men should not be compared to bears in the woods, and the entitled online attitude of people towards the well-being and happiness of men needs to be purged with fire. Men and women are both human, and all deserve to find happiness. 🔥🔥🔥

One of my colleagues called to tell me that Paris Wilson has been found guilty of the manslaughter of her husband, Danny Cahalane, in Plymouth after helping an angry drug dealer locate him. Danny was the father of their little girl & he had a son too. 💔 thesun.co.uk/news/38899298/…

@MrAbney1904 @HerRoyalHeinous @jodymcintyre_ @torysmasher Less lipstick on a pig, more like anal beads in the mutton.

@HerRoyalHeinous @jodymcintyre_ @torysmasher @BTimberley This is all true but it isn’t some big gotcha. They had announced they were going to do this a couple of weeks ago.

You do not want to be on this List. Andy Burnham is on this List.

Here is the most important article on Simons from the Jewish News. Shows that Josh Simons should be in jail rather than being an MP. He did all of his insidious infiltration and subversion because he had hurty feelings about discussion of weaponising 'antisemitism" ------------------- Josh Simons, the MP for Makerfield, quit his ministerial post on 28 February after a scandal over the commissioning of a controversial investigation into journalists. Speaking to the BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg and Paddy O’Connell, Simons explained for the first time the personal motivations that drove him to seek external advice — and ultimately to hire PR firm APCO Worldwide. Simons said he became alarmed when he researched the background of journalist Paul Holden, whose work had contributed to a Sunday Times story about undeclared donations at the think tank Labour Together. “I looked up who this guy Paul Holden was,” Simons told the BBC. “His book was being published by a publisher, OR Books. And the other book that was listed next to his book was a book called Weaponising Antisemitism: How the Israel Lobby Brought Down Corbyn.” ... Holden’s book, The Fraud: Keir Starmer, Morgan McSweeney and the Crisis of British Democracy, was published by OR Books. In his resignation letter, Simons wrote that the book “diminishes the antisemitism that infected Labour under its previous leadership.” APCO Worldwide has said it is conducting a detailed internal review of the project and is cooperating with the Public Relations and Communications Association’s own inquiry into the matter. Holden issued a statement after Simons resigned saying:”Simons made entirely false, defamatory and conspiratorial claims about me, my colleagues and my family. “His actions threatened my livelihood and reputation as was well as that of my colleagues. It risked undermining ongoing work we were doing tackling grand corruption around the world, including in collaboration with multiple law enforcement agencies. “It has caused me and my young family significant distress. It is appalling that Simons cannot bring himself to apologise to me and my family after his conduct towards us has been exposed. ”

@jodymcintyre_ @mjdaly57 Then there is little old me who got everyone refocussed on McSweeney back in 2022, but people like to memory hole that... I'm more than happy to verify the independence and timeline of your work Jody, should anyone ask. I have the receipts. 👍🏻

Hi Mike, I’ve just noticed that you have unblocked my account 😅. The story I wrote which you previously took issue with was based on a database of MPs sent to me by a senior political contact in Scotland. Those MPs had donations from Labour Together which were recorded on their individual registers of interests but not on the Electoral Commission website. I wrote exclusive because no-one else had written about that specific element of the story, not to suggest that no-one had written about Labour MPs receiving donations from Labour Together, which a number of journalists had. Asides from that, donations to MPs are in the public domain, and many journalists write about them. And credit to Paul Holden (@StarmertheFraud) who as far as I’m aware was investigating Labour Together long before me, you, Declassified UK, or anyone else! Hope that clears things up.

I would just like to make my followers aware of the following situation: In recent months, Declassified UK and Jody McIntyre have, with accompanying trumpets, announced that they have been exposing the substantial donations that Sir Trevor Chinn and other powerful lobbyists have been making to senior members of the Parliamentary Labour Party - directly and indirectly through the organisation Labour Together. As my followers will know (and I have nowhere near as many as @declassifiedUK and @jodymcintyre_ ), I took it upon myself, without any other ulterior motive or without seeking any personal gain, to start tweeting the bare facts of these donations back in June/July last year. My focus was to show the donations and freebies taken by MPs and to contrast these gifts with their voting record on initially retaining the two-child benefit cap, scrapping the winter fuel payment to vulnerable pensioners and voting for the proposed welfare changes that have caused so much distress among people who are disabled and unwell. I hit upon a basic formula for doing this: a little bit of biographical information followed by a list of their donations and freebies, their salaries and the expenses they’d claimed and then a summary of their voting record. I then spent the next three months researching the @ElectoralCommUK and various Register of Interests web sites and other sources and posted tweets for the @UKLabour MPs who had voted for the cuts while also having accepted substantial donations and freebies. (Quite a few of these MPs subsequently blocked me on Twitter for tweeting this information including @LucyMPowell @annaturley @joshsimonsmp @RhonddaBryant @AlexDaviesJones @peterkyle @SteveReedMP and @jowhite__ ) I want to make clear that I have never sought any personal gain in this, certainly not material gain. My sole objective was to highlight the double standards of these MPs and the Westminster culture that allows it to happen. I have no journalistic experience whatsoever and am very much a rank amateur in these things. However, when I saw, late in 2025, Declassified UK and Jody McIntyre claiming that they were publishing this information on donations as an exclusive, I was a bit surprised to say the least. I know that Jody McIntyre had been following me so he must have been aware of what I had been posting on MPs’ donations from July onwards. I know that I have no protections on fellow Twitter/X users taking my tweets and the information therein and posting them as their own - it happens quite regularly but I do call them out for it when it is so blatantly done. I do know that I’m someone of great insignificance in these matters. But I admit that I was piqued when I saw that the effort and research I had invested for those three months was being claimed by others as their exclusive. That’s my case and I’ll leave it here.

Gee, why would @ggreenwald delete this link to @jeremyscahill talking about @pierre Omidyar's 'vision' for journalism headlined "We Hit the Jackpot"? youtube.com/watch?v=HYQlf-…

Given that it seems both Bylines and Burnham are associated with the Omidyar Network, this post is wholly unsurprising.

@DrRebeccaTidy @JennyAThatcher This is a properly raw deal. Sounds like payback is in order. 😈

@JennyAThatcher I was in a union, but I wasn't well enough to do anything about it really. I had an awful boss. She kept calling the cancer a "mole removal". It was so much more than a "mole removal". I had years of treatment & they didn't know if I would survive, ffs.

Jones, who became the fifth generation of men in his family to go into the glass-making industry, said he had felt a sense of "betrayal" from the company he had served since 1983 when he joined them as an apprentice after leaving school.
