We are holding our biggest event ever ❗️ The spiked summit 📍 Westminster 🗓️ Sat 27 June 2026 With @KonstantinKisin, Lionel Shriver, @AllisonPearson, Brendan O’Neill, @toadmeister, @Miss_Snuffy, Mick Hume, @Tom_Slater_ and more Be there: buff.ly/DN1vqmM

David Lammy’s war on juries is not only a threat to justice – it’s a threat to democracy itself, too. Juries give a voice to ordinary people. Silencing the public is the defining mission of this Labour government, says James Kierstead buff.ly/J1OJEvq

Keir Starmer’s slack-jawed dithering on the Iran issue is a disgrace. The Islamic Republic’s proxies murdered 18 Brits on 7 October. Including a 13-year-old girl. They are the enemies of our civilisation. Why won’t Starmer say that?, asks Brendan O’Neill buff.ly/lki133u

Rupert Lowe says Reform is a retirement home for failed Tories. But on current evidence, Restore Britain looks destined to become a clown car for people too mental for Reform. A vanity project masquerading as party My @spikedonline column on the right’s answer to Your Party:

Ayaan Hirsi Ali on the ‘progressive’ handmaidens of Islamist misogyny: buff.ly/OP2r9Vu

When Keir Starmer arrives in Beijing, will he raise the plight of the falsely imprisoned Jimmy Lai? Lai is a British citizen and brave dissident who has been persecuted for defending democracy in Hong Kong. He must come home, says Mark L Clifford buff.ly/hqfTX8E

What other podcast about the nanny state also serves up Peter Hitchens impressions and anecdotes about meeting Assad? Not to be missed…

‘Andy Burnham is such an “outsider” he spent 20 years in Westminster under Blair and Brown. He doesn’t stand for anything other than Andy Burnham. He was a joke all of five minutes ago. This is all about vibes’ My take on a most baffling comeback

All this - but then #AndyBurnham has an impeccable record on the grooming gangs that drugged and raped young white working class women in Manchester, oh yes Fab, succinct vid deconstruction of the #poser by @Tom_Slater_ here x.com/tom_slater_/st…

OMFG Stephen could’ve won £95k - but kept his promise and took home £47.5k with Rachel. And they’re the first TRAITORS to make it to the end! What a decent man Stephen is. And what a f***ing great pair they made. Amazing. #TheTraitors

What could possibly go wrong?

Keir Starmer is mulling a ban on X, and who could be surprised? The PM blames Elon Musk for reviving the rape-gangs scandal and for stoking the Southport riots. He would use any excuse to pull the plug on the free-speech platform, says Fraser Myers buff.ly/oi3aMlU

Britain’s luvvie elite love mass migration because it makes them look good among themselves. They don’t give a damn about what it does to normal folk. Beneath the ‘progressive’ preening lies a thinly veiled contempt for the masses, says Patrick West buff.ly/6C5EmLT

📣 We’ve had to temporarily disable our website following a cyber attack by a militant pro-trans organisation that openly boasts about breaking the law and encourages its supporters to steal hammers and take ‘direct action’ against members of parliament. We’ve launched a donations page on Stripe, a secure payment processor, to cover the cost of responding to this attack (beyond what is covered by insurance) and bringing the perpetrators to justice. Any donations would be hugely appreciated. Link below ⬇️

Freedom is worth risking it all for Victory to the Iranian people, taking their civilisation back from Islamist scum We can only hope their courage is contagious

‘The internet suddenly went down in Iran last night, as courageous Iranians continued to rise up against the Ayatollah. The UK government was apparently inspired. Not by the rebels, but by the mullahs’ digital crackdown’ Me in the @spectator, on Starmer’s threat to ban X
