Say what you like about Farage, but he always gives an excellent quote.

We found out they’ve been courting Reform since at least 2024, in an attempt to build their UK influence, and have brokered a string of meetings and briefings with Farage.

As ICE terrorizes communities, remember that some of Trump's biggest supporters are private prison companies that will make bank off his budget bill.

And Stephen Miller recently disclosed over $100K of stock in Palantir, the shady data firm ICE uses to target immigrants.

Cashing in on cruelty.

It'll soon be 10 years since the Brexit ref. So much has changed since then. If Brexit is the cause of our economic problems, as the government now admits, then surely we need to ask ourselves whether we want to carry on down the Brexit road or turn around and head back to the Single Market and EU.

While UK billionaires get £35 million richer every single day, most families are locked out of wealth altogether. The growing wealth divide isn’t just unfair, it’s unsustainable.

Remember when hard work was meant to pay off?

New analysis from the Resolution Foundation shows it would take 52 years of typical earnings (£1.3 million) to climb from the middle to the top of Britain’s wealth ladder.

Let’s be honest: there have already been several bizarre moments from Trump this morning alone that would justify invoking the 25th Amendment.

He is a seriously unwell individual.
