"Nigel meets tens of thousands of people on an annual basis ultimately, he can't be held accountable for the actions of every single person who he comes in contact with."

Remind me which Party was in power for 14 out of the last 15 years.

Jenrick could have visited Handsworth to listen to residents – he chose to pass through and make a judgement based on the colour of their skin. Instead of getting to know our nation of neighbours, he chose racism.

The Tories, Reform and Labour want to divide us.

The Greens say enough is enough.

The Tories typically have their annual conference in Manchester every other year; there are always loads of angry protests. This time - tumbleweed. I can think of no better symptom of their decline.

This also applies to the UK ...

In other news, Kemi Badenoch's party has taken at least Β£7 million in donations from funders and directors of climate change denial lobby groups bylinetimes.com/2025/03/18/k...

'A sharp leftwards turn'?! Goodness knows what he would have made of the politics of former Tories like Macmillan and Heath

They can. Our voting system means that Deform only need about a third of the vote to have a governing majority.

'The day is long' - the day being referred to is presumably the 25th December in Svalbard

I believe the last time Labour failed to be in the top two in a Manchester City Council ward was in 1983 when Michael Foot was Labour leader, and even then the percentage wasn't as low

Labour were tweeting during the campaign "Only Labour can beat Reform in Woodhouse Park". I guess that messaging didn't work.

The way Starmerism is crawling before the proto fascist tabloids is stomach turning. It's why the UK is stuck with Brexit, has no PR voting, and all of that with a historically exceptional majority in Parliament. What an utter waste of opportunity. Pathetic.

Why are the American president's claims about autism the first item on British news bulletins?

He's not our president, the advice doesn't apply here and he's not presented any evidence to support his assertions.

So why spread these claims? What make this the biggest story in the UK?

There's no such thing as 'road tax'. You presumably mean vehicle excise duty levied on many cars - it goes into the general pot of Government income.

Fossil fuel companies have spent $billions
telling lies about causing climate change
for more than a century, and the entire
corrupted mass media is complicit

"Billions are spent on framing perceptions and controlling the narrative."
