Conservative Helen Whateley, "Tax cuts have to be funded.. I'm doing work on what is the right way to bring down the welfare bill"
My view: Why is the answer always more hardship for people who are already struggling, while vast wealth can be hoarded almost untouched?

Ireland is pushing a motion to ban Israel from FIFA and UEFA.
It has made JD Vance very mad.
It's time to remove Israel from world sport, don't you agree?

This. It’s not so much the fact we elected this man in the first place. It’s that we elected him AGAIN and have refused to remove him

I wonder why Badenoch couldn't say that London benefitted from Brexit 🤔
The reality is that neither London nor any other region in the UK has benefitted from Brexit - the opposite is the case.
That's why our polling with YouGov shows that 628 out of 632 constituencies want to rejoin the EU.

Kemi Badenoch refuses to say if Brexit has benefitted London

Drax’s planned datacentre could produce nearly double the emissions of all flights out of Gatwick airport each year by burning 4.9m tonnes of wood annually, an analysis has shown.

I have heard rumours that Richard Tice heads a company called Britain Means Business, that has no employees and sells no products but takes in very large donations from foreign based people and forwards them to Reform UK Ltd. I can't believe this is true, but if it is it should bring down Reform.

Can you imagine the derisory coverage and outright mockery if any other party with single-digit MPs decided to "declare a General Election" and go on a bus tour? Yet when this outlandish nonsense comes from Farage, it is treated as somehow brilliant.
