I wrote this back in 2024, arguing the time was long overdue to get ALL big money out of our politics and embrace state funding of political parties. The Phillips report showed how it should be done. Labour should have done it while it had the chance. https://t.co/at5oUhvrmD 1.3K views · 23 likes · 10 reposts · 2 replies Open on X →

Tonight’s revelations about Reform demonstrate why getting ALL big money out of politics is long overdue. The 2007 Phillips report showed exactly how it should be done. Burnham would get huge credit for being the PM to finally act. 6.4K views · 204 likes · 57 reposts · 7 replies Open on X →

@jameschappers His students have been trying to complain about the standard of his teaching for years, he tried to ruin a journalist with a police investigation, & has deployed false racism claims to try to deflect from genuine academic fraud.

@jameschappers That it affects everyone in the UK is obvious if you had followed it, Arday is the symptom, the corruption of institutions, principally in academia, but also others such as the BBC, is the disease. 28.2K views · 1.2K likes · 14 reposts · 7 replies Open on X →

I haven’t followed much of the detail of the Jason Arday case because it’s rather boring and affects very few people, but I will say that the usual, gleeful feeding frenzy about the collapse of one man’s professional life (whatever his mistakes) leaves a very bad taste. 418.3K views · 566 likes · 55 reposts · 1.1K replies Open on X →
