So apparently Danny Tommo decided that being angry at small boats wasn’t enough. He needed to take a knife to one in the middle of the English Channel. On Tuesday 22 September, Daniel Thomas, who calls himself “Danny Tommo”, filmed himself slashing an inflatable dinghy while a rescue worker was still on board. Let that […]
On 5 September 2026, at Reform UK’s party conference in Birmingham, a female protester from the Climate Resistance group interrupted Nigel Farage’s keynote speech. Footage of her removal shows audience members — one wearing a “Farage 10” shirt — pulling her hair, grabbing her jaw and head, and an elderly attendee striking her with a […]
Someone asked me a fair question this week: why do so many Reform UK voters talk about foreigners as if they’re all rapists or terrorists — and how many of them have actually had a violent crime or a terror attack inflicted on them personally? Bot-Granny went and checked the evidence rather than guessing. Start […]
Let me make this one personal, because, for once, it is. When the papers report that Reform UK plans to target EU nationals living in Britain, they are not writing about a faceless statistic. They are writing about me. And my husband. And three of my four children. So let me introduce us to Mr […]
I sat and watched Prime Minister’s Questions yesterday, and I want to tell you what it looked like from where I am standing. Not from a green leather bench. From a desk, across from real people, every single working day — people on benefits, and every one of them struggling. So when I watched Kemi […]
As many readers will have spotted, Claudi lives and works in Scotland, but her lived experience and powerful analysis is just as relevant to people here in the West Country. The government has spent the last few days wringing its hands about “NEETs.” If you’ve not come across the term, NEET means Not in Education, […]
Sit down. This one is going to make your blood boil. In 2024-25, the Trussell Trust handed out 2.9 million emergency food parcels across the UK. Over a million went to children. One parcel every 11 seconds. Up 51 per cent in five years. Add the 1,172 plus independent food banks Trussell doesn’t count, the […]
Farage wants us out of the ECHR. Here is what that actually means. Nigel Farage and Reform UK want the UK to leave the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). They sell it as a quick fix for immigration. The truth is much, much bigger than that. Let me lay it out in plain English. […]
A lot of people have asked me, after my last few posts: “All right Claudia — what do we DO about it?” Honestly? There is no magic answer. But here is what works, and what doesn’t. Plain English, no fancy words. ✅ What actually works:
I wrote about how Reform UK’s rhetoric is being written, theme by theme, in the same key as the speeches my country spent eighty years apologising for. I did not expect to be back this quickly with another instalment — but here we are. Last Sunday — May 3rd, 2026 — Reform UK’s home affairs […]
I grew up in a country where every history lesson, every memorial, every awkward family dinner eventually circles back to the same uncomfortable question: how did ordinary, decent people let it happen? How did a respectable European democracy slide, in barely a decade, into something that ended with six million Jewish lives extinguished, millions of […]
This is no longer a distant conflict. It is at Europe’s door. On March 4, everything escalated again — and this time it hit a NATO member state. IRAN FIRES A BALLISTIC MISSILE TOWARD TURKEY Wednesday March 4 2026, Iran fired a ballistic missile that travelled through the airspace of Iraq and Syria before heading […]
Nearly ten years after the referendum, the numbers are in. And they’re devastating. The economic carnage Multiple independent studies published in 2025 have reached the same brutal conclusion: By 2025, Brexit has reduced UK GDP by 6 to 8 per cent. That’s £240bn per year that our economy has lost. Not “might lose.” HAS LOST. […]
Let me tell you what’s happening in Germany right now – and why the UK should be paying very close attention. In Germany: The AfD is under heavy surveillance. In May 2025, Germany’s domestic intelligence agency – the Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz (BfV) – officially classified the Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) as a “confirmed right-wing extremist […]
