Farage's failed Brexit promised the world and has delivered nothing but misery. So why trust Farage's Reform with the UK economy? They can't even run councils they've won.

Elon Musk’s net worth has now surpassed $600 billion, just weeks after Tesla approved his 10-year, $1 trillion pay package.
That could amount to $100 billion per year — more than 1.4 million elementary school teachers’ paychecks combined.
Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

I’m already bored by the 2029 general election and I’m looking forward to speculation about the one in 2034.
I'm baffled by the endless opinion pieces and analysis about an GE which is 4 years away and elections to be held in May next year. I'm 70, I honestly don't remember a time when this happened barely 14 months after a GE.

This is good news, reversing a brazenly partisan change by the previous government.
Whatever the merits of First Past the Post for parliamentary elections, it is manifestly unsuitable for mayoral elections, where the winner really does take all.

🔔 CONFIRMED: the Government is abandoning First Past the Post... for mayoral and PCC elections.
This is the first acknowledgement we’ve seen from the Government that First Past the Post is not fit for purpose in an age of multi-party politics.
Mayoral elections should be just the first step.
