Last night, three people made donations to Vox Political. Between them, they sent £50 — and I want to say a very clear, very personal thank-you.
That money literally kept the lights on – I used part of it to top up the electricity meter (and without the ‘leccy, I would not be able to write and publish anything at all).
It also meant I could get through the night without worrying that something else was about to be cut off.
And it reminded me that, even when support seems to have dried up, there are still people out there who believe this work matters enough to help keep it going.
Six books are gone – 44 to go!
Just click on the image, make your donation
and provide your details!
But I won’t pretend everything is fixed.
I still have to scale back the amount of original content I’m producing — because right now, I just can’t afford to do otherwise.
That is far from ideal.
I want to be writing, filming, editing and publishing more.
There’s certainly no shortage of stories to cover.
Buy Cruel Britannia in print here. Buy the Cruel Britannia ebook here. Or just click on the image!
If every Vox Political reader donated just £1 a month — which Ko-fi makes easy to do — this site would be financially secure.
I could do the work without also having to worry about the next bill or the next meal.
But of course, I know that’s not likely to happen.
And that’s what makes the donations that do come in even more important: those supporters are carrying the weight for many others.

It’s also why I’m in this bind.
I post donation links every day — with every article, every video, every call to action – just scan up (and down) this article and there they are.
Most go ignored.
Some attract snide comments from video viewers.
But without donations, I can’t keep this going.
And while I’m working hard to rebuild readership and viewership (which will hopefully boost advertising revenue too), the social media platforms aren’t making that easy — especially for content that challenges the status quo.
So yes, I had to say it was an emergency to get a response.
And it worked — a little.
But this is no way to run a newsroom.

👉 Donate: Even £1 a month helps. £20 or more gets you the book.
