My book, How Woke Won, has been republished with the London Publishing Partnership (after selling out with the previous publisher!). If you've been after a paper copy, now's your chance: amazon.co.uk/How-Woke-Won-T… Thanks to @spikedonline for making this happen.

The Sandie Peggie employment tribunal is currently exposing, as perhaps no court case to date has, the issue of class as it relates to the top-down imposition of gender identity ideology in the workplace. 'Diversity officer' Isla Bumba has now admitted in court that she didn't…
'Trade unions now seem far more interested in promoting a niche ideological agenda, shared by a minority of union leaders and activists, than in representing their members' Sandie Peggie isn't the only one - writes Joanna Williams @jowilliams293 spiked-online.com/2025/07/24/how…
"With traditional unions turning away from defending workers’ rights, it is hardly surprising that, in 2024, only 22 per cent of UK employees were trade-union members – the lowest rate on record." @jowilliams293 hits the spot
Trade unions are now hotbeds of trans ideology. Sandie Peggie’s union failed to stand up for her right to a single-sex space. The UCU takes the side of activists who want to silence their gender-critical members. It’s madness, says Joanna Williams buff.ly/VRvYwWe
When Sandie Peggie was forced to get undressed in front of a male colleague, her trade union betrayed her. Instead of standing for her rights, it branded her a bigot. Trans activism has totally corrupted the unions, says Joanna Williams buff.ly/VRvYwWe
By me on how trade unions are pandering to trans orthodoxy instead of standing up for their female members spiked-online.com/2025/07/24/how…
Brilliant!! Liam Gallagher reassures cheating couples ‘we ain’t got snidey Coldplay cameras’. Oasis frontman says it’s none of his business who his fans are ‘mingling with’. telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/07/2…
Obviously it would take time away from tweeting vapid slogans and hiring men to be women's representatives, but perhaps @UN_Women might consider addressing the desperate situation of women in Afghanistan.
Very important and urgent :- As the Taliban continue mass arrests of women, our greatest concern is for widowed women—those who have no man in the house and are too afraid to leave their homes. We are working to deliver essential food and supplies directly to their doors during…
World Economic Forum ‘rigged data’ to make Brexit look like failure. Any comments, @ByDonkeys, BBC Verify? telegraph.co.uk/world-news/202…
According to this account, I am supposedly against the "host people" of Britain because...I am not in favour of ambushing an autistic young man on the street, firing questions at him about Alfred the Great, and then posting it online as a form of attempted ridicule? Go figure.
This gentleman seems like a nice chap, but @StevenEdginton helps to show that he is anything but assimilated. Huguenot-descended Brits are in all relevant respects invisible. Meanwhile, Edginton’s interviewee associates “Britain” with its most conquered, colonised, YooKay…
Holding an inquiry into a 4-decade old injustice won't make life better for working class communities still being screwed over today.
ORGREAVE INQUIRY ANNOUNCED! The government have announced an inquiry will take place into Orgreave. Please see and share our press release otjc.org.uk/orgreave-truth…
Appalling consequence of politicising all aspects of education. Anti-Semitism rife in UK schools telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/07/2…

* Failed 'nation-building' project results in Taliban regaining control of Afghanistan * Secret Afghan relocation scheme created after MoD data breach * Superinjunction means that the drawbacks of the scheme cannot be discussed Welcome to the British political establishment.
Delighted for Sandie but incredible that they put her through disciplinary proceedings at all for telling a man that she objected to him using the women's changing room (after managers did nothing when she complained to them). They will pay for this if she wins.

Absolutely correct on DEI and “woke anti-Semitism: a swirling bigotry fuelled by the blind righteousness of a half-mad activist class that genuinely thinks history is on the side of its hatreds.” spiked-online.com/2025/07/15/how…
Guaranteed to lead to an increase in mental health problems... "Mental health education will start in primary school, focusing on emotions, loneliness, bullying and seeking help." thetimes.com/uk/education/a…
Have I got this right? The BBC has fired @JohnTorode1 because he allegedly made a racially insensitive comment in a bar EIGHT YEARS ago, that he immediately apologised for, and now doesn’t remember ever saying? Salem wants its witch trials back.
I am still looking for the answer, but I do conclude that our greatest problem is the useless elites. (The best account of the elite morality part is still @jowilliams293) There is also still the question of explaining the exact timing.
Elite Theory provides the best explanation for why the Great Awokening happened in the early to mid 2010s. Wokeism served the needs of the ruling class. It gave them the moral justification not just for the power they already wielded, but arguably more importantly the fact that…
Please let’s not give Greg Wallace’s crappy “jokes” more press coverage than working class girls abused by Muslim grooming gangs.
