Who funds the Free Speech Union? Toby Young’s outfit went to court to hide its donors. Today we reveal that funders include US anti-abortion groups, Brexit politicians and Tufton Street insiders.

πŸ”΄ Last week the Free Speech Union got a High Court writ to prevent the publication of a list of its donors

So we decided to investigate who *does* fund Toby Young's outfit

Khanna: You have people being dragged out of their cars. Someone with disabilities who was harassed by ICE agents. You have a couple whose windows were smashed because they were simply exercising their First Amendment rights…. we need accountability and justice when we’re back in power.

Borders Czar Tom Homan just announced he’s ramping up ICE operations in NYC.

Same playbook we’ve been seeing in LA, DC, Chicago & Charlotte. They aren’t hunting criminals, they’re targeting workers and people who are part of the community. Families. Neighbors. The people who keep the city running.

Alongside colleagues I've written to the Minister for Women & Equalities about the appointment of the new EHRC Chair.

We share the concerns that both the JCHR and WEC had during the pre-appointment hearing.

The EHRC urgently needs to rebuild trust with all communities.

Dear @bbcbreaking-bot.bsky.social @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social : WHY no @libdems.org.uk on BBC #politicslive when talking about Ofwat and water systems when they've been campaigning about this for years?

Instead you platform Reform again.

The BBC has a huge right wing bias.

Israel kills at least 43 Palestinians in Gaza, including aid seekers Among the dozens killed are 20 aid seekers, as NGO warns Israel is also deliberately blocking energy access.

While almost everyone has fallen for Netanyahu's ploy of focusing on Iranian-US-Israeli air strikes, Israel has been intensifying its genocide. For the sake of humanity, ALL EYES ON GAZA! www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/6/...

Parliament surrenders to anti-trans activists on toilet policy The UK parliament has thrown trans people under the bus on toilets, abandoning its own policy to placate activists who accosted a trans barrister on the parliamentary estate.

The UK Parliament has declared its own trans bathroom ban, caving to activists who accosted a trans barrister. Originally said they were awaiting EHRC code of practice, but have now capitulated to bullying.

Looks targeted given the trans Mass Lobby this week.

Petition: Ensure plurality of political coverage across UK broadcast media at all times We want to ensure that a plurality of views from all political parties in Westminster are represented and the nations parliaments are heard all year round, not just election times. The rules for cover...

Why are we framing the 2029 General Election 4 years out?Broadcasters seem to have already decided who are the main players. Is this right? Demand to hear ALL our parties not just ones the media presents to you. Sign now - demand plurality. Democracy at stake. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...
