The British mainstream media is refusing to cover the Paradise Papers because most of the avoiders own the newspapers, James O'Brien has claimed. Speaking on LBC today O'Brien launched a scathing attack on Telegraph owners David and Frederick Barclay, Daily Mail owner Jonathan Harmsworth and The Sun and The Times owner Rupert Murdoch for gagging the damning financial data leak. The Paradise Papers investigation showed how the powerful and ultra-wealthy secretly invest vast amounts of cash in offshore tax havens, but it has been largely...
Corbyn supporters spectacularly troll Britain First leader
For anyone not familiar with Britain First, it's a single Facebook page for people to share hateful and largely illiterate ideas that sink to a whole new level of stupid. Britain First describes itself as a Political Party standing up for nationalism and British Sovereignty, opposing colonisation and promoting Christianity. Britain First generally share fake pictures of foreigners going about their business in Middle Eastern cities, claiming the snap was taken in York or Swindon.

In shocking car crash interview on LBC, Theresa May actually said she doesn’t think having no plan for Brexit is costly mistake
Theresa May's first major live appearance since a shambolic Conservative Party Conference speech in which she was served a P45 by a comedian was a chance to make the comeback the beleaguered Prime Minister urgently needed.

Yet three times when asked, May refused guarantee that 3.2...

In a live interview on LBC radio streamed across social media, Prime Minister Theresa May just refused THREE times to say if she would vote for a Brexit if there was another EU Referendum.

(Though she did deliver this very persuasive speech to business leaders outlining why she was convinced...
Watch this lady in blue on BBC Question Time sum up the Conservative Party right now
Damien Green appeared on BBC’s Question Time and tried his best to defend a disastrous Conservative Party Conference so bereft of ideas that the Tory message literally falling apart on the wall behind Theresa May as she spoke made the front pages. The day after Theresa May - with only 30% of her own party members believing she should not quit - gave a make or break speech, in which the highlight was a prankster handing her a P45, the...

Media ignores Diane Abbott’s racist abuse from trolls. Until she describes what they say on TV. Then they go nuts when she quotes the abuse.
When exactly is it political correctness gone mad? Diane Abbott appeared on Good Morning Britain this morning after a study by Amnesty found almost HALF of all the horrendous abuse female MP's suffer on social media is directed at Britain's first black woman MP, the shadow home secretary Diane Abbott.

The true story behind the Muslim foster care case
Why let a lie get in the way of a good story? This seems to be the case in the reporting of a Muslim foster carer hitting the front pages of the rightwing press. The Times could find itself in hot water this week after publishing several false claims in its sensationalised report of the Muslim foster care case. Bank Holiday Monday saw the News UK title run a front-page story about a Christian child who had been "forced" into...
