WorldbyStorm - 11:09 Wed Jan 14, 2026 Interesting this: More than 300 Metropolitan police officers and staff have obeyed an order to tell their bosses if they are members of hierarchical organisations such as the Freemasons, the high court has heard. Britain?s largest force announced the policy last month and it has met fierce opposition from bodies representing Masons. They have taken legal action to … Continue reading "The Freemasons, ?hierarchical? societies and London?s Metropolitan Police"
WorldbyStorm - 10:54 Wed Jan 14, 2026 Handy this from LBC, a list of the more prominent defectors from the Conservative Party, Britain?s former government. It’s striking how relatively few there are. Then again it’s essential to keep in mind that Reform, for all its polling strength, has just 5 MPs, 1 ‘Lord’, 1 member of the Scottish Parliament, 1 member of … Continue reading "Those Tory defections to Reform"
WorldbyStorm - 09:21 Wed Jan 14, 2026 Expect a lot more of this in the next few months ahead of the elections in Wales this May (and other contests that month too).

Asked whether Aontú could work with a left-leaning alliance of parties, Mr Tóibín said the political momentum was not with the left side of the political spectrum. A candidate of the left is victorious in the Presidential election just this last year. Might … Continue reading "That political momentum in Ireland"
WorldbyStorm - 10:56 Tue Jan 13, 2026 Credit where credit is due, the Irish Independent had a good podcast interview on 6th January with Pádraig Óg Ó Ruairc – who wrote the excellent Burn Them Out! A History of Fascism and the Far Right in Ireland, and Declan Lynch of the Sunday Independent, on the far right. This on foot of Steve … Continue reading "A reality check on the far right"
WorldbyStorm - 06:15 Tue Jan 13, 2026 Fair to say that most of us here would not be the Tories biggest fans, but difficult to disagree with a characterisation by a Tory source that he is but one of a number of ?has-been politicians looking for their next gravy train?. ?Their latest recruit used to say he?d be ?frightened to live in … Continue reading "What a catch!
