Yet more evidence of how Reform voters tend to be political outliers on a series of issues. Challenge for Farage et al is to keep these core supporters sweet while not putting off others. Thus far they seem to be mainly leaning into a core vote strategy.

Social Cohesion Action Plan statement in the Commons now

Look at the United States right now.

A few billionaires and oligarchs have essentially bought the government and rule the country.

Europe needs to be incredibly careful not to go down that same path.

We must protect our institutions from extreme wealth and corporate capture

The bombing of Iranian children is an unforgivable crime America has blood on its hands.

New in PN: The bombing of Iranian children is an unforgivable crime

"American disinterest in the lives of people abroad is a resource politicians use to justify cynical wars. It's hard to see on what moral grounds we claim a right to decide the fate of those about whom we clearly care so little."

I don't know how you prepare a population for bad economic news because the US President is crazy. I do know the UK is considerably better placed to survive the worst case than many other countries. But it will worsen a long ongoing cost-of-living crisis.

Imported food faces new limits on bee-harming pesticides | Euractiv EU move targets environmental harm rather than consumer health

"The EU’s zero-tolerance rule for food imports containing residues of two pesticides banned in the bloc has come into full effect. Neonicotinoids are a type of pesticide that is absorbed by plants and affects the nervous system of insects. European agriculture hasn't used neonicotinoids since 2018."

By 2025, Brexit has reduced UK GDP by an estimated 6–8%. With investment down 12–18%. And productivity 3–4% lower.
...Than if the UK had remained in the EU.

Contributing to a total Brexit bill of ~£250Bn/yr.

Further evidence that Reform voters are more likely to be on X and GBNews and therefore fed a diet of misinformation.

When is the Government going to start Leveson II?????

Good.

I don't think you have to Nostradamus to figure that bombing Iran might raise oil prices. And it seems pretty obvious that buying oil in advance of causing an oil price spike might just save Americans a lot of money. But...

...maybe there wasn't much planning?

Epstein Latest: A newly surfaced document reveals an inmate told the FBI he overheard guards talking about covering up Epstein's death the morning he died.

I cannot believe that the Whitehouse says "It doesn't really matter " that Russia is helping Iran target US military personnel. Is there anything, ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING, that Putin can do where Donald Trump will criticise him?
He would rather see US troops die than upset his boss!😡😡

Reform councillor Graham Eardley has been suspended for behaving so aggressively towards a female volunteer that security had to escort him out. That’s at least 63 Reform councillors gone in ten months – nearly one in ten!

When will the BBC sack Mason and make Victoria Derbyshire political editor. Mason is biased and makes no secret of it and he is basically the Heil in human form.
