Did Donald Trump steal the 2024 election?
A legal challenge in New York could reveal the truth behind allegations that last year’s election result was “consistent with vote manipulation”

Every constituency with a Labour MP has a coalition of enough progressive voters to elect a LibDem or Green MP instead.
Bearing in mind the explosion of tactical voting in 2024, Labour needs to remember that people can vote them out as well as in.

The language of “experiment” is a direct take up of the far right anti-Soros propaganda used by Orban and co. The subtext of this propaganda is that the Jews and WEF capitalists are doing away with the white ‘race’ by forcing mass non-white immigration on Europe. Starmer should be deeply ashamed.
Labour have literally chosen Vote Leave's "Take Back Control" slogan to mark their new assault on immigration.

The way to beat Reform is to:
be BETTER than them,
more honest than them,
have real solutions they don’t have.
Not to try and BE them!
Their voters (a national minority) don’t want Reform lite from a party they hate.
But the rest of us want true thriving policy from grownups with integrity.
