‘We are coming apart. We saw this after Southport. We saw this in Harehills. We see it now in Epping. We cannot go on like this’ Tom Slater on how asylum, multiculturalism and contempt for the masses turned Britain into a tinder box buff.ly/yaNTaGG
Trial by jury is an ancient right. Scrapping jury trials would be a terrible mistake. We cannot sacrifice our liberties for mere ‘efficiency’. Labour’s authoritarianism knows no bounds, says Dennis Kavanagh buff.ly/neLEpbo
No, fascism has not come to America. The MAGA movement bears no relation to Mussolini’s Blackshirts or Hitler's SS. It’s a rag-tag, unstable alliance led by a man with no clear ideology. To call this fascist is absurd, says Joel Kotkin buff.ly/NY1PFH9
‘The university where real women are punished for speaking the truth falls at the feet of a hulking fella whose claims of womanhood are entirely fake. And there it is, the misogyny and hypocrisy of the trans cult, for all to see.’ spiked-online.com/2025/07/22/edd…
The Afghan superinjunction was an outrage to democracy. The courts were only too happy to shield the government’s controversial relocation scheme from scrutiny. This will be devastating for public trust, says Luke Gittos buff.ly/2nrIi1q
Sussex University’s honorary degree for Eddie Izzard exposes the misogyny of trans. This is the university where Kathleen Stock was cancelled for saying men aren’t women, and yet now a bloke in comedy boobs is celebrated. It’s gross, says Brendan O’Neill buff.ly/Cz94qzE
Why is King Charles so obsessed with Islam? He has not only praised the ‘wisdom’ of Islam, but also made excuses for Islamic nations’ treatment of women and blasphemers. This is his reactionary worldview writ large, says Tim Black buff.ly/c2C2tUF
Protest outside a newly designated asylum hotel in Canary Wharf - it’s clearly spreading
A GB News clip attempting to humiliate a young, autistic black Londoner has badly backfired: buff.ly/A8NcpAP
No, Stephen Colbert’s ‘Late Show’ was not cancelled for ‘speaking truth to power’: buff.ly/vb1MDhd
Labour’s plot to weaken trial by jury is an anti-democratic outrage. Those pushing for this think ordinary people are too stupid to understand complex criminal cases. This is a smear against the public, says Dennis Kavanagh spiked-online.com/2025/07/22/tri…

We’re delighted that @TheSimonEvans will be returning to Last Orders tomorrow. We’ll be discussing votes for 16-year-olds, why the Edinburgh Fringe has become so expensive, and more. Got a question for Simon – or for LO’s own @cjsnowdon? Post below👇

There’s a new movement in town: Posh Twats for Palestine. These are the plummy leftists and annoying they/thems whose entire personality is hating Israel. They’re the most annoying people in Britain, says Brendan O’Neill buff.ly/UhxI4SV
Stephen Colbert has long since ceased to be funny or politically challenging. He’s just another Trump-deranged hack who can barely disguise his partisanship. ‘The Late Show’ will not be missed, says Jenny Holland buff.ly/vb1MDhd
The Gallagher brothers’ straight-talking swagger is gloriously out of touch with our PC, conformist era: buff.ly/S7JxzCa
My thoughts on #Oasis they are working class men and they speak to other working class people - its never been a secret.
Oasis resonates with working-class Britain in a way the likes of Kneecap never will. So many showily ‘political’ acts do not speak to ordinary people’s lives. The Gallagher brothers’ swaggering reunion is a tonic in an age of conformism, says Lisa McKenzie…
