Based on his record so far, what makes anyone think Nigel Farage would make a good Prime Minister?

Translation: “I don’t want to help the UK by paying tax”. I am really growing very tired of hearing advice from super-wealthy people who so obviously put themselves first but pretend otherwise.

There it is. Farage and Reform would end our NHS. Millions of people could not afford to be ill under a Reform government.

The couple who live in the cottage at the bottom of our road always decorate two bicycles for special occasions. One outside the day centre (video) and one on the wall at the side of the Esk. Always cheers me up to see them (and the local yarn bombers).

Don’t need a watchdog to tell us this. I know several people in pain who have pulled out their own teeth over the last couple of years. NHS dentistry has disappeared for the majority of the population www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Jonathan Gullis defects to Reform saying his former party has "lost touch with the people it was meant to serve". He should know. When he was in Government he took a five-figure donation from JCB, then stayed silent when it axed hundreds of his constituents' jobs just two weeks later

Conservatives Promote JCB's 'Revolutionary' Pothole Machine While Taking Millions of Pounds in Donations from the Company

Senior Conservatives have repeatedly promoted a pothole repair machine made by a company which has donated huge sums to the party and its MPs

At some point, for the love of God, will someone ANYONE at long last take the council funding crisis seriously?!? Because THIS is what will break down a society, not some poor soul escaping incredible dangers, arriving on our shores.

We hope you can join us tomorrow, as we conduct an act of remembrance for the fallen of EFC and all those linked to the club (and the other Everton clubs) impacted in times of conflict. Start time, 10:45am by the Dixie Dean statue.

He’s only saying this as he knows young people won’t be voting for him. The usual divisive crap from this grifter. You try living on £10 an hour 😡

Nobody had even heard of Katie Lam outside of Westminster until about two weeks ago. Literally all it takes to be considered "brilliant" and a "rising star" on the right of British politics now is just a willingness to say something slightly more racist than all of your competitors

DUDE. Trump is walking around the Japanese Prime Minister like a lost zombie running on low brain fuel. I had to watch this video twice. Once to say WTF to Trump. And twice to say WTF to the insane headlines on the news ticker! WTF!!
