Which Scandals Might Break in 2026?
Those who read the Daily Sceptic, I wager, are the sort of folk who spot rum stories years before they are fully investigated by the mainstream media. It is generally a maddening experience to suspect something is, at best, arrant nonsense or at worst a state-sponsored coverup, to live with unease, fury and ridicule when daring to state our concerns, only to find the rest of the chattering classes catching up years or even decades later. I was in my late teens when my grandmother – our village postmistress and shopkeeper – had a heart attack caused by worry over the baffling new Horizon computer system she had been forced to use. When vindication comes that your suspicions of wrongdoing, foul play and coverup were right all along, it is not sweet but sad. Why were those who raised the alarm early not taken seriously?
There remain of course numerous stories that are bubbling away that deserve to explode into the national consciousness this year. Which ones do explode seems to depend on whether a TV drama is made about them or an independent journalist’s dogged pursuit is retweeted by Elon Musk. Until this happens, we sceptics can only do our best to raise the alarm and hope someone is there to listen. These are some issues that seem to me to warrant further investigation – or perhaps even to blow up into a massive public scandal, as happened after the airing of Mr Bates vs The Post Office in January 2024.
- Will any credible connections be made between Xi Jinping’s Global Governance Initiative and Keir Starmer’s digital ID drive?
- Is the Chinese embassy completely dodgy?
- Is the Chinese-Westminster spying business still a thing?
- Whistleblowing videos from halal slaughterhouses?
- A rash of medical negligence cases caused by language barriers?
- What is going on at the Met Police with the freemasons? Why are the freemasons suing the Met Police to prevent officers being forced to reveal freemasonry membership? Are there other public bodies, such as the City of London Corporation, this should apply to?
- When Labour adviser Paul Ovenden suggested the ‘sheer weirdness’ of Whitehall priorities surrounding the Alaa Abd El-Fattah case, what is he actually alluding to? What role does the Civil Service Muslim Network play in the business of government today?
- Keira Bell helped turn the trans debate around by insisting that as a child she was unable to give informed consent to the use of puberty blockers. Will similar cases come forward of adults who as children were medicated with ADHD drugs and anti-depressants and later found their height stunted and their sex drive lowered?
- Are sex-selective abortions already happening at scale?
- Is the cobra effect (when a solution intended to fix a problem makes it worse) taking place in the SEND system? Are developmental issues and mental health needs being exaggerated for financial reasons? Who is profiting? Private equity-backed special schools, parents on welfare, private psychologists, mental health charities? Are children being harmed rather than helped?
- Just because Nadine Dorris raised an issue, it doesn’t automatically mean it needs to be ignored. Will serious side-effects of Mounjaro and other weight loss drugs become increasingly evident in 2026?
- Which BBC presenter hiding in plain sight is going to be unmasked as a filthy paedo or savage bully? Could, for once, the BBC do the decent thing and get rid of them now, rather than wait until the scandal erupts?
- Still flourishing rape gangs active in London and other major cities?
- A class action from people who have been excluded from government jobs and promotions on account of their heritage or sex?
- The Potemkin nature of certain element of the British university system. How many people are dropping out, how many foreign students don’t turn up, what influence investment from foreign countries?
In all likelihood the biggest scandals of 2026 will be something far worse but also obviously predictable. Other suggestions welcome.

Linked to 15, is the student loan scheme solvent? How many young people are paying less than the interest on their loans and how many people are absconding abroad and avoiding payment?
Don’t forget Labour s3x scandals: Starmer’s arsonists and Nick Brown.
Who is making all the money in the rail system – time to look into the train leasing companies.
Starmer and young Ukraine men could be a very, very interesting one.
Starmer and his ilk must be absolutely defecating their pants, knowing what is going to be revealed.
I am assuming there’s a super injunction in place, but even so, it’d be a juicy one if it did come out!
Have I missed something here?
Yes.

I expect these young chaps have already been told what to say i.e. it was all a Russian plot, in return for a soft sentence.
Student loans are funded by the taxpayer so can never become insolvent, like the NHS, other public services and the Government itself.
The taxpayer is the always open infinite Cash Point.
All the above plus more…
All of the above.
What’s the difference between a conspiracy theory amd the truth?
Time.
I suggest that the Establishment determination to make Reform unelectable by any means necessary will come to dominate political debate in 2026. The Powers That Be are determined to remain (or even Remain) in authority despite what the electorate might like.
Yes, this sort of thing is bound to come to the fore.
A few years before the EU Referendum I recall Farage’s response to a question about a potential Establishment-authorised assassination “they’ve left it too late.”
I seriously think they will take that risk if they think they have to. I hope his security is top notch and entirely trustworthy.
Meanwhile back in early January 2025…
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2025/01/09/britain-came-within-whisker-blackouts-national-grid/
…Watt-Logic’s Kathryn Porter commented, “The GB power market came within a whisker of blackouts.”
Minus 7 deg C tonight – may only be a matter of time before the Laws of Physics sooner or later catch up with Kommissar Miliband’s Department of Energy Insecurity.
Surely only a question of time.
Demand is already in the amber zone – interconnector supplies absolutely critical. If even one goes down…..
Grid Carbon currently shows UK electricity consumption at 49.1GW. Only 8.9GW (18.2%) is coming from wind while 25.8GW (52.6%) is from gas.What’s going to happen when we have minimal gas generation as per Milibrain’s plan?
And when nuclear plants are closed, which is about to happen,
How much gas have we got in storage? If the current cold spell lasts for another week or two and most European countries are scrambling to get LNG imports is there going to be some sort of rationing e.g. reduced pressure in the supply network or large industrial users being paid to reduce their consumption or even stop production for a few days?
I warned the family of blackouts last year and fortunately was wrong but they are going to happen and if not this winter definitely next. The immies won’t be happy.
That’s why Whitty gave his warning a couple of days ago. They know what’s coming and they’re rolling the pitch.
How about the inappropriately tested, ineffective, dangerous and hubristic gene-therapy mRNA medications (designed for animals and humans).
A worthy contender should also go to the non-tested accumulative carcinogenic EMF exposures via wireless technologies (eg 3/4/5/6G).
I’d say that the EMF exposure issue has been talked about for decades, and so far no substantive evidence has come to light.
I’d put it right down the bottom of the list myself.
That the govt is implementing Palantir Gotham for domestic surveillance.
That the cancer signal from the injectables becomes undeniable.
That the 2020 US election was demonstrably fraudulent.
Numbers 12, 13 and 14 are certainties in the future whether 2026 or later. Number 15 is already popping its head out with recent stories about foreign students not paying their fees which has now run in to millions.
Artificial sweeteners will make the headlines at some point as their detrimental effects on health are realised and explored; the equivalent to the trans fats issue although more dangerous.
Also the carcinogenic seed oils issue and Ultra Processed Foods (UPF) more generally.
Use Olive Oil or cold-pressed oils where possible.
Millibrain, his family or friends receiving huge amounts of money from renewable energy companies possibly via intermediary donors to try and hide the truth.
It would be useful to see evidence for this assertion, please.
David Miliband has been paid a million dollars a year by Soros to twiddle his thumbs in New York whilst Brother Ed struts his stuff in UK, ever since the Labia Party lost power to Dave Boy ‘Hug a Husky’, whose father-in-law Sir Reginald Sheffield was and is trousering thousand pounds a day for allowing eight modest sized wind turbines to operate in a corner of his leafy estate.
Then there is Dale Vince.
Plenty of lovely fat “Season’s Greetings Cards’ there!
The UK taxpayer also “donates” heavily to David M`s organisation, International Rescue. Thunderbirds Are Go!
The solar farms must surely register as landowners get an index linked £1,000 per acre per year rental for doing nothing. Beats planting veg and generating less than £80 per acre profit.
We sort of intuitively know its going to be happening (like Al Gore), the evidence may take a while, at least until he’s left his current post.
Who would actually be surprised?
Nigel Farage breathes in and out….it’s a scandal 🫣
Another good piece by this excellent contributor. I did not want to add any more possibilities but I would like to pick up on one of Joanna’s suggestions – “Are sex selective abortions happening already”. Probably, but as an ex dairy farmer, I am aware that most bovine semen used in Artificial Insemination nowadays is sexed so the dairy farmer gets the sex of calf he wants. I love them both but women and dairy cows are awfully similar and what happened to cows in the past has then happened to women – in vitro fertilisation, harvesting eggs, etc so I am very concerned about the notion of choosing the sex of your semen for producing sexed foetuses. Is it already happening to persons who can afford it?
When will the “Far Right” riots start as the “Far Right” population has had enough?
