The new MRP poll out today shows Progressives who vote tactically to stop Nigel Farage’s Reform UK could push his party into FOURTH place. The poll also shows Burnham’s Labour is winning back left-leaning voters by two to one. WE are the silent majority.

The first and last time Nigel Farage dared to face James O’Brien has gone viral again, and it’s still a glorious own
It’s easy to forget that Nigel Farage was once (technically) a colleague of James O’Brien at LBC, before he left the station in 2020 having made inflammatory remarks about Black Lives Matter protester...
