If you think Labour's trade policy is falling apart then you should have seen the last lot... Realistically, familiar failings of secrecy and naivety, but still a huge improvement and I think slowly improving. www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/2025...

Yep. And here you thought Bondi was actually going to release the Epstein files?

Those who think that Labour is the same as the Tories need to take a look at the Sunday Mail front page headline about an ex-girlfriend of the PM who is now a judge and then ask themselves: if billionaires are that desperate to get rid of this government, what is it that they are scared of?

Dear people of Greater Lincolnshire If this if who you'd like to vote for in the mayoral contest, please feel free to do so Your mayor, your choice, good luck!

Despite continued membership in the ECHR, the Labour government has successfully deported over 24,000 individuals. This directly disproves the Badenoch's claim that the ECHR prevented deportations - yet another example of Tories' blatant shystering. #ukpolitics

President Zelenskyy arrived at the residence of the British ambassador in Italy to meet PM Starmer. President Zelenskyy already met with President Macron. Later, he will have meetings with Ursula von der Leyen and Giorgia Meloni.

Macron shook one hand.

Peter Barber is Reform UK candidate for Canvey Island Winter Gardens, Castle Point, a by-election that will take place at the end of May. He's the same Peter Barber that ran for the BNP in Canvey in 2007. Once again Reform UK, what's with the lack of vetting? www.echo-news.co.uk/news/local_n...

The FBI is arresting judges. We just blew through Constitutional Crisis and into fascism.

Locking up judges the very definition of a fascist state

Utter gibberish as usual. "Family GPs" don't sign off SEND plans or disability benefits.

The thing is….pictures like this one existed decades ago. You’re telling me the FBI didn’t know about this activity? Yeah. Bullshit. People not only gave him a pass, but they concealed what they knew.

Reform UK in Wiltshire have been attacking the Tories for the leader's wife having a £9k portfolio. Reminds us that Farage employed his wife AND his girlfriend (who got a very comfy 6 figure salary+expenses). They were investigated for channeling money to UKIP. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Nigel Farage defends allowing US chlorinated chicken into UK as part of trade deal www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

"It is a way to position the PM on the side of optimism, mainstream British opinion, resilience in an uncertain world & clean air. His opponents can have Putin, Donald Trump & pollution on their team." Starmer can prove Farage wrong on net zero.

Tory MP Hollinrake sees rubbish collection as an embarrassing, humiliating job. #ukpolitics

Farage, lying again Nigel Farage blasts 'woke' Hertfordshire councils claiming a portrait of Winston Churchill in County Hall "now has to have a warning note about colonialism & racism" "There is no label or contextual information linking Churchill to colonialism or racism alongside the portrait”

'These grubby backroom deals that Jenrick seems to be talking about - they need to come clean about it' Labour MP Ellie Reeves responds to a leaked recording of Robert Jenrick vowing to 'bring this coalition together' to unite the Tories and Reform UK at the next election

I get the politics at play, but it does seem absolutely mad that we're giving a second state visit to a guy helping to tank our economy. www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/blow-f...

100% true. Given a choice between a hot topic on X and the everyday concerns of passengers on the number 5 Arriva bus and Badenoch will always choose the former.

Farage's O Level Science from 1980 is doing some heavy lifting on #r4today

Labour’s wealth tax increases will generate between £48 bn and £100bn over the life of the parliament according to IFS figures . Yet still mugs blurt on that Labour does not tax the wealthy .

American Christian nationalists are reaching new and dangerous depths…

Ryan Coogan, Reform UK Mayoral Candidate for Peterborough and Cambridgeshire, threatening legal action against a constituent for sharing a public video of Nigel Farage. Crazy.
