California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

Nigel Farage finally admits to knowing Nathan Gill after senior Reform figure repeatedly claimed he didn’t Farage has admitted he knew Gill for 'a very long time' but claims he didn't know anything about his pro-Russia activities...

Nigel Farage has finally admitted to it.

But now there's lots more questions especially considering Rupert Lowes intervention....

Greater Anglia joins public ownership after record year of performance Passengers in East Anglia will travel on a publicly owned railway from Sunday, as Greater Anglia transfers to government control

As Greater Anglia is taken into public ownership, we look at what that means for passengers across the East of England.

More than 15% of people who voted for Brexit are dead.

Only 4% of people who voted against it are.

It is time for another vote, even if opinions haven't changed, they would lose 55-45%

This is a major shift in Labour comms. It seems Brexit will be blamed for the budget.
But naming the issue is not enough. They now need to name the solution or be left behind parties that will.

Keir Starmer’s plan to blame Nigel Farage for budget tax rises With Reform UK threatening the end of two-party politics, both Labour and the Tories are fighting to stay relevant as conference season comes to an end

Rachel Reeves set to blame Nigel Farage for tax rises in the Budget, saying he delivered Brexit with β€œeasy sloganeering” and then walked away

It’s about time

Who benefits from the abolition of stamp duty land tax?

The first answer: people buying very expensive homes. Average saving for someone buying a Β£10m+ home is Β£1.7m. Average saving for someone buying a Β£250k-Β£500k home is Β£5k.

Nigel Farage accuses teachers of "poisoning our kids" on race issues.

Here's a reminder of what teachers and fellow pupils at Farage's own school remember of his own views on that subject.

Michael Gove admits that post-Brexit trade deals were bad for farmers Michael Gove has admitted for the first time that the Australia and New Zealand trade deals negotiated by the former Tory government did not protect Britain’s farmers.

🚜 A poor deal for farmers. A rotten deal for the country.

β€œBrexit was not principally about trade" - we know Michael we know...

Robert Jenrick holds up a judges wig like a puppet during his speech to the Conservative Party Conference.

We have an independent judiciary in this country. Robert Jenrick wants puppet judges.

The Conservative Party once believed in the rule of law and our shared British values - no longer.

Synagogue attack confirmed as terrorist incident with more people arrested Two people have been killed at a synagogue in north Manchester, sparking a major incident with several police officers and paramedics on scene - and the suspected attacker shot dead

What a horrifying, heartbreaking murderous attack outside a Manchester synagogue on Yom Kippur.

We must not let extremists turn communities against each other in Britain.

Brits want Nigel Farage to step away from the Brexit shredder Polling commissioned by POLITICO shows wide public support for Labour’s EU reset.

Brexit shitshow latest:

β€œThe poll adds to the mounting pile of evidence that….dogma about regulatory alignment has always been more of an elite obsession”

People want lower bills and less hassle and don’t care about Farage’s ego or agreeing with EU rules. Who knew?

All we ever hear about or read about is migration, racism, antisemitism and Islamophobia. Hardly anything else gets a look in.

Well I’m sick to bloody death of it. It’s like some self fulfilling Farage wet dream.

Britain and its people are about so much more than this.

Starmer to end asylum β€˜golden ticket’ of resettlement and family reunion rights People granted asylum will have to earn right to invite family in plan charities call β€˜straight from populist playbook’

People recognised as refugees fleeing persecution & granted the right to live in the UK to be denied the right to be joined safely by their spouse & children.
