Welcome to Ugly Politix!
In a world of political spin and media noise, Open Britain aims to cut through the chaos. We're proud to introduce Ugly Politix - your no-nonsense guide to what's really happening in British democracy (and some others).
Our mission is simple but vital: We're fighting for a democracy that works for everyone, not just the privileged few. Ugly Politix is our megaphone, amplifying voices that need to be heard and shining a light on issues others might prefer to keep in the dark.
What to Expect:
Hard-hitting analysis from the frontlines of British politics
Diverse perspectives from our team and trusted partners
No jargon, no spin - just straight talk on the issues that matter
Who’s Writing This?
Much of the content will come from me. I'm Mark Kieran, CEO of Open Britain. My journey through various roles in government and political activism has given me a rare insight into our democratic process. I’ve seen how the sausage is made - and trust me, it’s not always pretty. Through Ugly Politix, I hope to share some of my insights, not as definitive truths, but as starting points for crucial conversations about our democracy.
But you’ll also hear from several talented members of the Open Britain team, and later we hope, from some of our trusted partners in organisations that share our democracy objectives.
Our Promise to You:
We'll tackle the tough topics head-on
We'll challenge you to think critically
We'll never claim to have all the answers
This isn't just another political blog. It's a rallying cry for everyone who believes in the power of informed citizens to shape a better future.
A Call to Action
Democracy isn't a spectator sport. It's time to get off the sidelines. Whether you're a political junkie or just trying to make sense of it all, Ugly Politix is your home for honest, impactful political discourse.

Should I Subscribe?
Here at Open Britain, we believe democracy thrives on open access to information. That's why when we launched Ugly Politix, we made a bold choice: everyone will have access to our content, no matter their financial situation. (We just don’t think democracy should be behind a paywall.)
However, we know that many of you who share our philosophy also want to support our mission, so we have adopted an open subscription model that allows just that.
Take a look if you’re interested…it’s entirely up to you.
Who’s the zombie?!
Funny you should ask…he doesn’t have a name yet. But we have plans to fix that! Hit the ‘Subscribe’ button and keep an eye out for further information.
