Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage want Britain to blindly follow Trump into this illegal war, even though the President has no plan for what comes next.

There is nothing patriotic about outsourcing Britain’s foreign policy to Donald Trump.

By refusing to even consider a customs union, Keir Starmer himself is the biggest block to closer ties with Europe.

Unless he changes that stance, this is all just meaningless blather

The Lib Dems want to shake up Whitehall. They are calling for a break up of the Treasury and its replacement with a new department of growth based in Birmingham. The most radical idea is that the growth department would set fiscal policies. That might be a very good idea if it opened up the space for productive cash injections with an acknowledgment that fiscal deficits are required to rebuild the social democratic space.

Reform candidate calls for ‘young girls’ to be given ‘biological reality’ check Exclusive: Matt Goodwin issues warning over Britain’s ‘fertility crisis’, arguing that ‘many women in Britain are having children much too late in life’

Good job he hasn’t met my kids (male and female)

They would tell him exactly where to stick his opinions of their life choices!!

And not forgetting the reality of high debt, housing crisis, work-life balance etc

Being polite-misogyny rules in RefUk 😡😡

While Labour drifts into Reform-lite rhetoric, the Lib Dems are the only ones having a grown-up conversation.

The best deterrent we could have is having a competent immigration system.

How dare the Coward in the White House undermine the bravery and sacrifice of our British troops.

Reform and Nigel Farage should be ashamed to associate themselves with him.

Trump is acting with impunity in Venezuela, sending a dangerous signal that leaders can be removed by force.

The PM must call an emergency UN Security Council meeting.

CALUM MILLER QUOTE GRAPHIC

TEXT: It's clear that this was never about the interests of the Venezuelan people or the wider world. 

This is Trump serving his own interests and ego, making the world far more dangerous in the process.

Starmer must convene the UN Security Council to hold Trump to account.

Keir Starmer should condemn Trump’s illegal action in Venezuela.

Maduro is a brutal and illegitimate dictator, but unlawful attacks like this make us all less safe.

Trump is giving a green light to the likes of Putin and Xi to attack other countries with impunity.

President Trump has shown, again and again, he can’t be trusted as a reliable ally.

The Prime Minister needs to stop hoping for the best and start dealing with reality.

TEXT: Fury as public believe fly-tipping is getting worse after 'mountain of rubbish' fiasco

We cannot allow fly-tipping to to continue ruin our environment.

The government must urgently clean up all illegal waste sites and instruct the National Crime Agency to take the fight to the criminal gangs desecrating our countryside.

Put simply: without farmers, there is no food - and food security is national security.

I will continue to work with farmers and farming organisations to ensure future decisions support food security, rural jobs, and the long-term health of British agriculture.

Further election delays by the Labour-Conservative stitch up are appalling.

The cornerstone of a Democracy is the right for people to elect their representatives and the Government's plan to delay them further is unacceptable.

Stop running scared from the ballot box just cus you know you'll lose!!
