EXCLUSIVE: Memo that sparked BBC’s worst crisis in a decade wasn’t 'internal'. It was written by lobbyist at firm paid by pro-Trump tech giants - including Oracle, whose billionaire founder joined Trump aides to undermine the 2020 election - @BylineTimes bylinetimes.com/2025/11/11/bbc…
Michael Prescott, author of “BBC bias” memo, is managing director of Hanover Communications - paid at least half a million (and likely closer to a million) dollars over last year by US tech + media giants with close ties to President Trump /2bylinetimes.com/2025/11/11/bbc…
Hanover Communications is lobbying to change UK and EU media law on behalf of Oracle, Meta, Apple and Paramount - all donated millions to Trump. Oracle owner Larry Ellison in particular spearheading a pro-Trump media takeover via Paramount Skydance /3 bylinetimes.com/2025/11/11/bbc…
That the author of the BBC memo is lobbying on behalf of Larry Ellison is a huge deal: Ellison notoriously joined a 14 Nov 2020 strategy call with Trump aides on overturning the election results /4 bylinetimes.com/2025/11/11/bbc…
Prescott's route into the BBC? Sources say Sir Robbie Gibb - former Downing Street comms chief, co-founder and early fundraiser of of pro-Trump channel GB News. Gibb led the charge inside the BBC Board echoing Prescott’s memo /5 bylinetimes.com/2025/11/11/bbc…
Gibb's ally, hedge-fund multimillionaire co-owner of GB News, recently called for the BBC to be broken apart. And now that's the 'solution' being put on the table by many on the right /6 bylinetimes.com/2025/11/11/bbc…
Inside the BBC, Gibb and Prescott’s network turned a lamentable editing misjudgement in a Panorama documentary into a weapon - collapsing trust at the top of the broadcaster and forcing resignations /7 bylinetimes.com/2025/11/11/bbc…
This is the real scandal: a pro-Trump lobbying network and a GB News co-founder converging to undermine the BBC from within. Read the full investigation here /END bylinetimes.com/2025/11/11/bbc…
In part 2 of this @BylineTimes investigation, we reveal how the 'BBC bias' memo - written by a Trump-aligned lobbyist whose firm was paid up to a million by pro-Trump donor tech giants - was politically biased and reliant on pro-Trump partisan sources bylinetimes.com/2025/11/11/pro…

Curtis Yarvin: Trump's 'court philosopher'. Inspiration to JD Vance. Read by Peter Thiel etc. What you might not know: he is a virulent anti-Black racist. Yet was platformed by @HTLGIFestival - here's how @BylineTimes exposed him there /1 bylinetimes.com/2025/09/24/cur…
In my piece with @peterjukes, we breakdown what Curtis Yarvin really believes: his worldview fuses virulent anti-Black racism with hatred of democracy: Black people are proof equality is a “superstition” - and why democracy must be scrapped /2 bylinetimes.com/2025/09/24/cur…
Yarvin's virulent anti-Black racism is *the reason* he wants to abolish democracy. Yet this weekend, he had a jolly convo with @campbellclaret about his 'monarchical' politics at a major liberal festival which largely excluded his racist philosophy /3 bylinetimes.com/2025/09/24/cur…

EXCLUSIVE: For the first time, the full extent of the influence of Nazi-inspired race science on the Trump White House is exposed via my investigation at @BylineTimes into Curtis Yarvin, the tech bro who has inspired Peter Thiel, JD Vance and beyond /1 bylinetimes.com/2025/04/04/how…
My story via @BylineTimes reveals that the key ideologue, Curtis Yarvin, behind the Dark Enlightenment ideology is obsessed with what he calls "the American Negro problem" and his fear of the extinction of the white race /2 bylinetimes.com/2025/04/04/how…
Astonishing that despite all the commentary on Curtis Yarvin, his ideas, his authoritarian leanings, etc, the extent of his racist, eugenicist beliefs has been largely excluded from this coverage. It's taken a journalist of colour to surface this /3 bylinetimes.com/2025/04/04/how…

🧵EXCLUSIVE: Musk’s top DOGE operative linked to Russian pro-monarchist network tied to Putin's Ministry of Defence & inspired by the 1930s fascist “Technocracy” movement - of which Musk’s grandfather was a member. Via @BylineTimes /1 bylinetimes.com/2025/03/18/mus…
This story reveals what's driving Musk's "Department of Government Efficiency" - an ideology compromised by ties with Vladimir Putin's regime, and inspired by the Technocracy "Technate of America" vision to annex Canada, Greenland, Panama and beyond /2 bylinetimes.com/2025/03/18/mus…
A former DOGE official and longtime Musk employee – working at PayPal, SpaceX and now X – Branden Spikes - is connected to a movement for the revival of the Russian monarchy with close ties to the Russian Government including its Ministries of Defence and Foreign Affairs. This network believes Russia is engaged in a mortal civilisational war with the West. /3

EXCLUSIVE: My new @BylineTimes investigation reveals that Donald Trump’s war on “wokeness” and "diversity" has roots in a racist, antisemitic Nazi foundation devoted to eugenics. Strap in - this story is beyond disturbing, but explains a lot /1 bylinetimes.com/2025/02/27/tru…
My @BylineTimes report based on my new book ALT REICH (alt-reich.com) reveals how 3 most influential "anti-woke" icons, Christopher Rufo, Peter Boghossian, Richard Hanania were bankrolled by the funder of this Nazi foundation /2 bylinetimes.com/2025/02/27/tru…
What we’re seeing now in the so-called “anti-woke” movement is not just a grassroots backlash. It's strategically engineered. A campaign that has shaped public debates on race, education, and social justice is influenced by people who saw merit in the same ideologies that fueled some of history’s darkest atrocities /3 bylinetimes.com/2025/02/27/tru…

🧵Why is Elon Musk so interested in taking charge of a Trump-led US government? Why is he obsessed with taking down Britain's Labour govt and boosting Nigel Farage? Simple answer: Vladimir Putin. Musk is aligned with a longstanding Russian influence op /1 bylinetimes.com/2024/12/12/aft…
In my new book I reveal how Musk, X, Farage, Trump and Putin are part of a broader network of oligarchs, far-right groups and tech platforms that are fed up with democracy as we know it. Despite disagreements among them, they /2alt-reich.com
Elon Musk's extensive Russia connections have been recently reported in the Wall Street Journal, but these are the tip of the iceberg. His ties to sanctioned leaders in Putin's inner circle directly involved in Western influence ops go back years /3 wsj.com/world/russia/m…

1/ Fifteen years ago, I predicted the collapse of "the mainstream party-political system across the liberal democratic heartlands" of the west. This would "pave the way for the increasing legitimisation of far-right politics by the end of this decade." bylinesupplement.com/p/trumps-proje…
2/ We now watch in real-time as the vested interests that brought Trump back into the White House attempt to replace the American republic with a new form of postmodern networked fascism. This is just the beginning. The world is next bylinesupplement.com/p/trumps-proje…
3/ Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation 900 page plan which Trump tried to distance himself from, is in full swing. Key Project 2025 contributors - Stephen Miller, Tom Homan, Russell Vought, Brendan Carr, John Ratcliff - have been handpicked to execute bylinesupplement.com/p/trumps-proje…Image
