The average MP is claiming more than £40,000 a year in personal benefits, including for ridiculous things like new phones, electricity, heating and food. Which everyone has to purchase. Why don't we talk about this benefit fraud?

Whoa. Sherrod Brown’s new ad is devastating for Jon Husted. Sarah Bloom Anderson trusted Husted when he looked her in the eye and promised he wouldn’t cut Medicaid, the program that saves her daughter. One week later, Husted voted to cut Medicaid.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

It is a farce and a desperate distraction, and the people of Clacton deserve better.

Could Nigel Farage’s political career be destroyed by a man in a bin? I was Binface-sceptic - now I’ve got the zealotry of the convert. Clacton needs to be flooded with door knockers. If all the people who oppose Farage vote for Count Binface, then he would win.

It's rare to find a politician with the honour to sacrifice his career in defence of the right to work alongside Russian assets, sell himself to foreign crypto bros, and take millions in undelared gifts from a convicted fraudster who calls him "Daddy" and wrote a book called "How to launder money".

Nigel Farage just made his statement on his "future in public life." It amounted to this: it’s a conspiracy, and it’s everyone else’s fault. Yet there’s still no answer to the only question that matters: why did someone on the other side of the world give him £5 million?

And there’s more… More lies, more dodgy deals and denials.. Farage has bought 4 houses for cash since 2020 - the year we left the EU. And declared only 2 of them. Come on people. The man’s a hot mess of corruption, racism, national security threat and greed. Let’s bin him off.
From 'skint' in 2017, the Reform UK leader now owns five mortgage-free homes with his partner Laure Ferrari.
Only two have been declared to parliament
