Reform UK Leicestershire are crooks.

They announced consultants Newton would do a £1.4m savings review.

That’s ballooned to £30m in 6 just days.

Leader Dan Harrison is a con man.

Leicestershire you’ve been had.

“All that’s left is shame.” That and at least 69,000 murdered Palestinian civilians.

Are we to assume that the British government didn't know all that was going on, whilst continuing to support the Israeli government?

During an event on Thursday, Donald Trump seemed to repeatedly struggle to keep his eyes open.

A Washington Post analysis of multiple video feeds found that Trump spent roughly 20 minutes battling to keep his eyes open.

Folks this is not a candid shot of the man at 11PM on a weekend, this is what he was doing while sitting in the middle of an internationally broadcast major press conference in the Oval Office

He is cooked, get him out of there ASAP—before we find ourselves in the midst of a second Great Depression

This isn’t a free-for-all auction where producers compete to attract customers. It’s a marginal pricing system – similar to that seen in commodity markets – where the “wholesale electricity price” is set by the most expensive power station needed to meet overall demand:

Why are energy bills so expensive in the UK?
Electricity bills in the UK are higher than in any comparable rich country. Some blame the net-zero zealotry of the government for that. What is really to blame for high energy bills?

This is disability visibility.

Mamdani listened. He didn’t pander or talk over the disabled journalist.

He acknowledged his concerns and gave real responses about how he plans to fix them.

1 in 4 Americans has a disability, it’s a huge number of voters.

Don’t ignore us!

One reason Labour has given that the SNP is a “threat to national security” is that Swinney recently stopped subsidising arms companies arming Israel. In other words, Labour has decided to double down on its place as the pro-genocide party: bylinetimes.com/2025/11/06/t...
'The SNP Isn't a Threat to the Security of Any Nation I Want to Be Part Of'
Labour's attempts to brand the Scottish National Party a threat to the UK’s national security is a drastic escalation of Labour’s anti-independence rhetoric, argues Adam Ramsay
