What happens to Britain's radical right if Orbán loses? Inside the money, power and patronage connecting Hungary and the British right

From Roger Scruton cafes to paying Matt Goodwin $10k a month, Viktor Orban has built a network of populist right think tanks, journalists and activists

Today Democracy for Sale delves into Orban’s allies on the British right

Well worth a read

Been thru that, it sucks. My deepest sympathy to you and yours.

Or, why are rich folks such dicks?

Both?
Could definitely be both!

Nigel Farage is undermining democracy, not promoting or protecting democracy, when he loudly alleges fraud every time he loses a constituency where there are any visible Asian voters, yet has NEVER once actually brought any evidence to any authority of his allegations, despite OFTEN saying he will

The mad emporer has triggered chaos he cannot control

Should political donations be capped to protect against undue influence? I believe the answer is – yes. Should the House of Lords be elected or appointed? An elected Upper House would meet democratic aspirations, but would be a monumental mistake. It could – and would – challenge the primacy of the Commons and create constitutional confusion. It would not retain the wisdom and lifetime experience to enable it to discharge its primary function of revising legislation. It would not be a partner to the Commons: it would be a rival. Recent General Elections have thrown into doubt the continuing validity of the “first past the post” system of voting. As voting preferences spread more widely it provides distorted results. The democratic case for examining this is growing, although changes would come with distinct drawbacks. Should Members of Parliament who defect to a different Party be compelled to face a by- election? Constitutionally, no – as they are deemed to be elected as individuals. But, in the real world, they are elected as representatives of a political Party. So – yes: logic and common decency suggest they must face the electorate again in a by-election. If the House of Commons wishes to regain the respect it has lost, it must justify the status-quo – or change it. And one further thought: is it not time to recognise that Brexit has failed to deliver its many promises, and the loss, each year, of £100 billion of European trade, and £40 billion of tax revenue is doing enormous damage to the lives and livelihoods of the British people – and their future?

Big speech by John Major tonight delivering the Clement Attlee memorial lecture at Kings College. Some extracts: thinks that our electoral system may now need changing, Brexit needs revisiting.

French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot,

"Let us say to our British friends"

"If they stand ready to return to the EU Single Market with all associated privileges and duties"

"They will be be met with open arms"

Sounds like a plan. Who's in?

Take Big Money Out of Our Politics British politics is awash with money from super rich donors. In 2023, two-thirds of all private donations came from just 19 people. These so-called ‘mega donors’ enjoy privileged access to political p...

A crypto investor just donated £9 million to the Reform Party. Right now, billionaires can pour unlimited money into our elections, effectively buying our democracy. Think that's wrong? Add your name to call for a cap on donations today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ta...

Donald Trump at an election campaign stop in Pennsylvania in August 2024:

“Energy costs, all of it, air conditioning, heating, all of it, including gasoline, will drop by more than 50% within the first 12 months”

Very few of us would guess that the Monarch did not appear on a banknote until 1963, with Shakespeare the first non-Royal in 1970. Just 12 people had appeared on notes by 2005

It is extremely difficult to construct a practical case against this position. Net Zero is now as much about patriotism as it is about climate change.

Truly unbelievable stuff. Just up there shamelessly lying his ass off

At Largest ICE Detention Camp, Staff Bet on Detainee Suicides, AP Reports Camp East Montana has received several 911 calls in the span of five months about immigrants trying to harm themselves.

While Trump is unleashing a war in the Middle East, do not lose sight of the cruelty being inflicted at home by this regime.

9 MAR 2026 telegraph BREAKING NEWS Drive less to save fuel as oil prices surge, motorists told

Telegraph in even-a-broken-clock-right-twice-day moment:

Most Reform members believe non-white UK citizens born abroad should be forced or encouraged to leave, poll finds Nigel Farage’s attempts to appeal to centre-ground voters may cause tension in his party, according to Hope Not Hate

More than half of Reform UK members believe non-white British citizens born abroad should be deported or encouraged to leave.

No different to the old BNP or National Front voters.

Any voting irregularities should be investigated. It’s a really important issue

But the idea that 4k+ votes were ‘stolen’ is Trump level nonsense

Dario Amodei, the CEO of Anthropic, just stood up to the Pentagon and President Trump. His company builds Claude, probably the most powerful Al model in the world right now. The Pentagon wanted unlimited access to Claude - including for mass surveillance of American citizens and fully autonomous weapons. When Anthropic refused, they gave him a deadline: comply or get blacklisted. He didn't budge. "We are patriotic Americans," Amodei told CBS News. "Disagreeing with the government is the most American thing in the world." Trump responded by banning all federal agencies from using Anthropic's technology. Defense Secretary Hegseth labeled them a 'supply chain risk', a designation previously reserved for foreign adversaries like China and Russia. It's basically a corporate death sentence, because it bans companies from dealing with Anthropic if they also supply to the US military.

And it gets even worse. Within hours, Sam Altman of OpenAl (the company behind ChatGPT) swooped in and signed the deal with the Pentagon instead. While his competitor was taking a heroic and principled stand, he saw his opportunity. Here's what makes this story so clarifying: Anthropic said no to autonomous weapons and mass surveillance, and got punished for it. OpenAl said yes, and got rewarded. Amodei drew a line. Sam Altman drew a contract. What Amodei did was genuinely brave. He's risking billions in contracts, and the very existence of his company. Not because it was good business, but because it was right. Sam Altman once again showed the world how deeply immoral he is. We need more leaders in tech, and beyond, who are willing to lose something for their principles. And if this story made you rethink which Al company deserves your money: join the international boycott of ChatGPT.

Wow, reposted here after I read on LinkedIn - I’ve put all the alt text in the screenshots.
