Our Only Allegiance Is to England
England Then And Now News exists to explain how power really works in England – past and present – in plain language and without taking orders from any party.
Who we are and what we stand for
England Then And Now News is an England‑focused, evidence‑led news site. Our only allegiance is to England and to the people who live here, not to Westminster colours, party machines or campaign donors.
We are especially interested in parties, campaigns and individuals who say they stand up for England’s interests and English self‑determination. We cover them because they matter to England’s future – but we do not give anyone a free pass. If you seek power over England, you face the same questions and standards here.
How we report politics
- We report politics to show how decisions are made, who benefits, who pays, and how it changes life in England.
- We focus on facts, documents, data and on‑the‑record quotes. Where something is only alleged or disputed, we say so clearly.
- We treat every party and politician with equal scepticism. Promises and claims – from red, blue or any other colour – are checked against evidence and past behaviour.
News, analysis and opinion
We keep different types of content clearly separate so you know what you are reading.
- News
Short or long, news pieces answer the basic questions: who, what, where, when, why and how. They use calm, factual wording and rely on verifiable information and direct quotes. - Analysis
Analysis pieces step back and explain what a development means, put it in historical context, or compare it with what has happened before in England. They are clearly labelled “Analysis” and are based on evidence, not party spin. - Opinion
When someone argues for a particular view, policy or course of action, it is clearly labelled as “Opinion”. Opinions can be strong, but they must still be honest about facts and not knowingly mislead.
How we handle politicians and campaigns
- Equal scepticism for all
We do not start from “trust” for any politician or party. We start from questions. We test statements against records, data and what was promised before. - Right of reply
If a person, party or organisation is criticised or accused in our coverage, we make a reasonable effort to get their response or note that we asked for comment. Readers should see what is said about people and what they say for themselves. - No party mouthpieces
We do not publish copy‑and‑paste press releases as if they were news. When we report what a party or campaign says, we label it clearly, add context and, where relevant, other views.
Language, framing and fairness
- Plain English, not spin
We avoid party slogans, labels designed to smear, and needlessly loaded language. We stick to what can be shown: “was convicted”, “official figures show”, “a report found”, “critics say”, and we link or point to our sources where possible. - Due weight, not fake balance
Impartiality does not mean pretending all claims are equally solid. We give more space and weight to evidence and serious argument than to rumours, conspiracy theories or fringe claims. When something is fringe but influential, we say so and explain why.
England then – and now
- We draw on England’s history to explain the present: how older laws, struggles and scandals shaped today’s system.
- When we compare “then and now”, we show what has changed and what has stayed the same, so readers can see patterns in how England is governed.
Corrections, updates and your part in this
- If we get it wrong
When we make a significant mistake, we correct it as soon as we can. We add a visible note to the article explaining what changed and why. Smaller updates – like extra quotes or new statistics – are timestamped. - If you think we’ve fallen short
If you believe we have made a factual error, misquoted someone, or framed a story unfairly, you can contact us with details and, if possible, links or documents. We review serious complaints against this policy and, where needed, put the record right.
At England Then And Now News, the test is simple: does this help readers understand how power over England is being used, and is it fair, accurate and clearly labelled? If it passes that test, it belongs here.
