Reeves said she would not increase tax but she has opted to freeze tax thresholds - the point at which you start to pay tax, and the point where you tip into paying a higher rate of tax - for another three years.

Another way of increasing taxes for the lowest paid workers

Labour govt they say 🤔🙄

Right: Labour have removed a judge who was due to hear and rule over the legality of the proscription of Palestine Action

Labour are interfering in the independence of our judiciary

Farage rightly points out that he can't investigate further whether anyone else in Reform UK has taken bribes as he doesn't have powers to look at phones, emails, etc

Nigel Farage wrongly says that Nathan Gill has not been with him for a long time, they've been best buddies for decades

When I hear Farage talking about rounding up and deporting hundreds of thousands of human beings, and threatening those with leave to remain or settled status, I cannot help but think of the schoolboy sidling up to me and telling me that “Hitler was right”

I’m beyond proud of Peter Ettedgui speaking out about Farage and the vile antisemitic abuse he endured. I first heard Peter’s story nearly 20 years ago when Farage was a virtual nobody. It’s not a hit job. Just the truth

Reform UK’s Chris Large, Leader of Staffordshire Council, has been boasting that they have repaid £15m of debt, giving the impression they are making savings.

This repayment is a routine decision councils make when interest rates are reviewed on these types of loan.
