I’ve just been released on bail, and the case they’re trying to bring against me is an absolutely shocking attack by the establishment.
First of all, I’m banned from central London, including Westminster, and I’m also prohibited from attending or reporting on any Gen Z-style protests taking place in the UK. This is absolutely absurd and, in my view, nothing more than an attempt by the establishment to stop me from doing my work.
Secondly, during my interview, they were unable to provide any witnesses. Nobody involved in the Gen Z protests came forward with a statement or any evidence against me, yet they’re still attempting to pursue a case.
My duty solicitor did little to challenge the conditions imposed on me and didn’t seem particularly interested in contesting them.
More footage of what happened today will be coming out soon. The whole situation was absolutely insane.

Car crash interview. £874 million to get about 4,000 people off the street.
That’s £190,000 each. Buy them a house.
Instead it’s contracts, outreach teams and councils deciding where the cash goes.
Rough sleeping rose under Burnham in Manchester. Now we’re nationalising the failure.

Watching the penny very slowly drop at The Economist is always a pleasure.
A hard look at Britain’s data suggests so. But it is hardly an epidemic economist.com/britain/2026/1…

Brutal chart.
France and UK vs. Communist countries at their peak.
UK public spending as % of GDP is currently above Romania, Venezuela and China.
And France is a lost cause.

FT comments never miss.
I don’t think I’ve read such a rational analysis of the situation we’re in for a long time.
I've been in France since 2002 and have never seen the streets so violent nor the politics so extreme. From the sacking of the supermarket on my street to the prospect of Présidente Le Pen, here's me @FT including thoughts from 2 French Nobel laureates as.ft.com/r/addcad57-0f9d-4e…
“Louis James, 50, has been convicted of murder for a second time”
🚨 NEW: Two men found guilty over killing of good Samaritan in Sheffield after he stepped in to defend a 17-year-old they were assaulting.
• Louis James, 50, has been convicted of murder for a second time, while Dereck Owusu, 43, has been found guilty of manslaughter rather than murder following a retrial at Leeds Crown Court.
• Reece Radford, 26, was fatally stabbed after he intervened when he saw a 17-year-old girl being assaulted by Owusu on Arundel Gate in Sheffield city centre on 29 September 2022.
• Radford died in hospital six days later. The pair were originally convicted of murder in 2023, but their convictions were overturned on appeal, leading to the retrial.
• South Yorkshire Police said the family had to endure a second trial after thinking justice had been served.
• Both men will be re-sentenced at a later date.
