The plaque honoring the law enforcement officers who responded to the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, which was commissioned by Congress in 2022, remains in storage. Mike Johnson has refused to place it on the wall, as was intended. That "deed" speaks pretty loudly.

It's time for Starmer to abandon the race to keep up with the economy-sapping immigration policies of the man who brought us Brexit in the first place. Until he takes that step, the “severe and long-lasting” impact of leaving the EU, identified by Reeves today, will only keep getting worse.

Keir Starmer's 'Brexit Is Bad, Let's Make It a Bit Worse' Strategy

The Chancellor just admitted that Brexit has been an economic disaster. It's time the Government stopped making it even worse by imitating Nigel Farage's damaging anti-migration agenda, argues Adam Bi...

GB news is a UK version of ‘Radio Rwanda’ which was deliberately used to stir ethnic violence .

Our democracy will not survive unless private media outlets are regulated for honesty and ethical balance.

Net migration almost halved last year - but 84% of frequent GB 'News' viewers think it increased.

Whether it's called news or current affairs, it needs to be rooted in factual information, otherwise it's not just worthless but also damaging.

GB News viewers more likely to wrongly believe net migration to UK rising, study finds

Research also finds majority of people are against letting politicians front current affairs programmes

Supercut of comments from Republicans today alone about the No Kings rallies taking place this weekend. This has to be some of the worst, and most anti-American, coordinated messaging of all time.

Have you ever been more disgusted by a British Government than Keir Starmer’s?
He makes me sick to my stomach.
He has betrayed the Labour Party, and like Blair, he is a war criminal.

People are being shut out of politics.

Your Party has a radical plan to change that: by forging a mass, democratic party from the ground up.

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

It is interesting that Jeremy Corbyn has been an MP for 42 years and led the opposition for 5 years.

He's been on Question Time once.

Nigel Farage, 44 times.

Our Media is corrupt, corrupt to the core.
