Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.

But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

Reform fury as someone else wins by Our By-election Editor Tim Shipsink The losing candidate in the Gorton and Denton by-election, Matt Goodwhinge, has demanded an immediate re-run of the election on the grounds that he lost comprehensively to someone else. "It's totally unfair and rigged," said Goodwhinge. "I shouldn't be required to sit there and suck it up, just because I lost." Mr Goodwhine continued, *I can't believe that all those voters I demonised failed to back me. Especially after I was endorsed by Tommy Robinson and ten million Russian bots on X. "We have clear evidence of family voting, where people voted in order for me to stop deporting their families." Mr Badloser concluded. "I'm the victim of colour prejudice. They didn't vote for me simply because I'm not green." Reform leader Mr Farage, speaking from a sun lounger on a rock near the Chagos Islands said, "It's a tragedy that the people of Manchester won't see Matt in Westminster, but my constituents don't see me in Clacton either."

Beautiful from Private Eye on the massive toddler-tantrum that Matt Goodwin and Reform are having, because they got whooped in Gorton and Denton.

Who the hell is this guy? And what does he want as a return on his £millions invested in Reform? Because it sure as shit isn’t a fairer, more progressive, equal and prosperous UK with good public services and well-regulated consumer protections.

This is absolutely brilliant 👏

NEWS Foreign-born voters stole by-election, Farage blasts, amid rising alarm over suspected poll fraud Nigel Farage has sensationally claimed that Reform UK was robbed of victory by foreign-born voters in last week's Manchester by-election.

Farage needs to fuck off with this.

The candidate that Reform stood had a long history of overtly racist views and comments, he’s a known misogynist and overall has the charisma of a soiled pair of knickers.

They are doing nothing more than causing further division.

Fuck off, the lot of them.

Imagine devoting your entire career to selling the idea that the British public hates wokery and is clamouring for radical right wing populism, only to then be defeated in an actual election by the most left wing possible coalition of politicians and activists in the country.

It's got to hurt

It's great to see Reform well beaten in Gorton and Denton (by % of vote at least). Well done the Greens. Maybe more importantly. This is a strong signal as to why the UK badly needs a PR electoral system in the modern age.

The Greens took it!

Hannah Spencer, a working class woman, overcame the bullshit of both the billionaire owned press and billionaire funded racism of Reform.

Against all odds, she won on a message of authenticity, common sense and unity.

This is historic and well deserved.

Hats off.

I can't help being suspicious of at least a degree of spin from any Lebvedev owned publication.
One thing is for certain. That poll would never see the light of day if any other party was in power.

Left: Keir Starmer at the Creator press conference, "Our priority as a government have to be the same as the vast majority of people across the country"

Right: "British voters want to be part of the EU more than the French and Italians, new poll reveals"

The thing I like about Richard Tice is that he’s such a smug, over-privileged, entitled prick that he will happily propose any policy, no matter how damaging or ridiculous, because none of it will have any impact on him.

Nailed it

No @telegraph.co.uk this isn’t the story. Children were being trafficked and raped. The people want to know by who. The information is out there, go find it and report it. We are not interested in what was in his sock drawer ffs

Once you see this, you’ll always see him this way.

I'm never 100% sure something is true until these people deny it.

When has a trivial thing like the law stopped either of these two?
