Over a tenth of UK electorate is in the NT membership, but only 1/60th of NT voted.

The 2:1 anti-Restore Trust split among these 50k people happens to reflect general public views of Nigel Farage

The failure of Restore Trust was because Farage mobilises his opponents by mobilising his supporters

This is still the reality of "trail hunting" in North Dorset in 2025.
I put so much effort into making this place a sanctuary for wildlife.

The party who claim to be patriots literally had a Reform leadership member caught red handed taking bribes from Russia.

This article details the speeches Nathan Gill gave that he was paid to give.

How are Reform getting away with this?

Pure hypocrisy. Labour’s Angela Eagle claims it’s “not statistically possible” to measure culling’s impact — then says they’ll analyse how “effective” the last cull was.

Make it make sense.

After killing 250,000 badgers, TB in cattle’s only dropped 1%. It’s not working.

Nigel Farage says this summer’s Raise the Colours movement was led by ‘ordinary people’ expressing their patriotism. Our reporters in five cities had a look and that’s not what we found.

Ed Davey, "I'm afraid Nigel Farage should be apologising for helping cause this problem in the first place"

"Before Brexit we didn't have a small boats problem because we had 27 return agreements with EU countries and we could return people"
