Am I the only one who feels the Reform UK political broadcast today, that was essentially a eulogy for Ann Widecombe, was not only in poor taste, but given that there's an ongoing investigation into her murder highly inappropriate? Using her murder to score political points shows how vile Reform are

Did Farage mention to the people of Clacton that his party plans to slash welfare payments during his re-election campaign? After all Clacton is one of the biggest recipients of state benefits in the country so it would be significantly affected.

A disappointing result from Clacton. The voters of Clacton have fallen for the grifter in chief of Reform UK's lies and false promises again. Yet again he shows his contempt for Clacton by not attending the count His excuse? More lies about a security threat.

Brexit didn't just destroy our relationship with the EU and shrink our economy, it unleashed a tide of racism, sexism, misogyny, hatred and division. Farage and co need to be exposed for what they are and held accountable and not just have a cosy chat on the GMB sofa!

The Artemis project is the sort of endeavour that makes America great. The pioneering spirit that characterises the American people at their best. Unfortunately, unrestrained, this same spirit can also produce people like Trump and his enablers as they strive to control ever more wealth and power.

The latest war in the middle east, under Trumps watch, IS actually about an existential threat to the United States. But it's not the threat from Iranian nuclear weapons. It's the threat to the dominance of the USD in global markets, in particular the oil markets. Why does America 💕 oil so much.

Iran is a major supplier of weapons to Russia supporting its war against Ukraine. The attack against Iran by the US and Israel could severely disrupt that supply. You might think that's a good thing but there is the danger that Putin would use the nuclear option if he was desperate enough.
