Farage fumbles as Iran war becomes cost-of-living issue The Reform UK leader has changed his tune on Britain’s involvement in the Iran conflict as oil and gas prices soar.

Farage fumbles as Iran war becomes cost-of-living issue

“I was working hard in the voluntary sector, but the decisions were made by the people who put their hand up and voted. I realised we needed to be there too.”

As we look ahead to the local elections, Green Party peer Jenny Jones spoke to Green councillors about what first inspired them to stand.

NBC’s Richard Engel: “The White House meme campaign is outraging many former US military commanders… they say only someone who has never really seen combat would think it’s a joke and put out material like this.”

Bombs falling on Iran will not bring democracy. They will only endanger the brave Iranians who have already risked their lives protesting for freedom.

We must not repeat the mistakes of Iraq and Afghanistan by blindly following Donald Trump’s America into another dangerous war.

Farage misses out on Trump meeting as their relationship cools British populist politician aimed to reinforce his view about the UK’s Chagos Islands deal in conversation with US president

Nigel Farage made a huge thing about going to the US, about his relationship with Trump. About Chagos.

But he didn’t meet Trump. He was shut out.

Meanwhile he’s furiously backpedaling on his Iran position because of the polls.

The weasel has no power.

Readers' Letters: Donald Trump's actions are bringing the UK together A reader says near universal revulsion over the actions of the US President is having a surprising effect

Donald Trump's actions are bringing the UK together

“Only Nigel Farage and his far-right Reform party of billionaires, tax exiles and failed Tories support what he is doing in a way that is borderline treasonable. But they would do, wouldn’t they?”

"Since the strikes on Iran began, more than 1,200 people in the country have been killed [...] Conflict has escalated throughout the region, with civilians paying a heavy price."

Full statement ⤵️

They have to keep things vague so that their supporters can fill in the blanks themselves. This is how Trump got people(farmers/hispanics etc.) to vote against their own interests

Reform UK has authored a Welsh policy to place a so-called ‘free speech duty’ on universities it doesn’t like, giving ministers the powers to impose financial penalties or to withdraw financial support for universities.

They want to control learning.

LIVE: Greens Take Gorton, Reform Takes a Pasting & Trump (Sadly) Still Alive YouTube video by Supertanskiii

Greens surge, Reform go full MAGA and blame cheating, Labour insist everything’s FINE and the Tories lose their deposit.

Plus Trump/Iran, Starmer’s reaction and a global leader lineup that’s the worst blunt rotation ever.

Reform UK Lost. Farage Cries Cheat. So Predictable YouTube video by Truth To Power

Not had a chance to watch this weekend's video yet? If you have 10 minutes, take a look at this analysis of the context and aftermath of the Gorton and Denton by-election, and what it tells us about the future of British politics...

One thing is clear.

Keir Starmer is singularly incapable of standing up to Donald Trump.

Really concerned to hear the Defence Secretary refuse to rule out UK's involvement in future strikes on Iran.

Iraq lessons must be learned.
Further escalation in the Middle East makes us all less safe.

Starmer must rule out UK involvement immediately.

British.

2020: Farage says Trump lost due to “ballot harvesting”, a clam that was disproven.
2024: Nigel Farage votes by post.
2024: Farage reported for election fraud in the 2024 General Election and only escaped a probe because of a time limitation technicality.
