I really wonder what would need to happen to disrupt the British media‘s current obsession with immigrants.
I am serious. What would it take to talk about something else? Putin invading a few more countries? Another Prime Minister being hounded out of office? Global economic collapse? A tidal wave?

Should you be contemplating voting for Reform ask their candidate on your patch what their policies are. And watch a lot of head scratching.

Hardly put a foot wrong Sean.
Big shoutout for Jake O’Brien.
Endured a really difficult start but kept his head down. Got his opportunity at right-back and helped the team massively.
Now just earned his second clean sheet at centre-back in a week with different partners too. Class act. He’s Everton.

The U.K. fishing industry - weaponised & then betrayed & then abandoned, by Johnson, Farage & the rest of them - is better off under Starmer’s deal than it was under Johnson’s. That’s not an opinion. It’s counting. Anyone claiming otherwise is a liar.

Not only are they ignoring climate change—they’re trying to cover up the cost. Shutting down NOAA’s disaster tracking so we can’t see the BILLIONS it’s costing us? This ain’t solving the crisis—it’s hiding it.
