Why is Nigel Farage back on air? Ofcom bans politicians from presenting news programmes, but GB News claims Farage's show is just 'current affairs' despite him using it to defend Reform's £72m in donations. Close the loophole now.

Andy Burnham slashing VAT from energy bills is a great step in the right direction, but much more still needs to be done to tackle Britain's cost of living crisis.

What if getting older or needing care didn’t mean worrying about whether you could afford it? Andy Burnham has announced plans for an NHS-style National Care Service, free at the point of use and funded by everyone. It could be a huge step towards fixing England’s broken social care system.

Voters are willing to back a Gov that delivers, but their patience is not limitless. They want politicians to take big, bold decisions that tackle long-standing problems head-on, rather than managing decline or opting for cautious compromise.

Andy Burnham’s under pressure to revisit Brexit, as a new poll suggests that a pledge to rejoin the EU could boost Labour’s electoral chances. If Labour officially pledged to rejoin the EU, would it make you more or less likely to support them? Read more: www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
