A Jewish MP was barred from speaking at a school. A teaching union celebrated it. And on national radio, a journalist argued there was “nothing wrong” with excluding elected representatives based on political affiliation. This report examines how selective history and moral absolutism are being used to justify democratic exclusion – and why it should alarm everyone.

The OSA Is an Invasion of Privacy: What the Online Safety Act Really Means for Ordinary People

The UK’s Online Safety Act is far more intrusive than most people realise. It treats private cloud backups as if they were public social media posts and paves the way for client-side scanning — technology that inspects your personal files on your own devices before they’re encrypted. This is a fundamental shift in how the state views privacy, and it demands public scrutiny.

Imaginary UK Government (Patriots’ Edition)

A tongue-in-cheek “Patriots’ Cabinet” and 100-day plan: borders made credible, energy made affordable, NHS backlogs blitzed, planning and red tape reset, and free-speech protected. It’s a thought experiment and a provocation—what might a delivery-first government look like if we stopped playing to the SW1 gallery? Plus quick résumés for each minister and a punchy scorecard so readers can judge the results.
