Support for rejoining the EU rather than simply rejoining the single market is growing among British voters, with more than 80% of Labour, Liberal Democrat and Green party supporters favouring this option, according to research mapping voter attitudes 10 years after the Brexit referendum.

This 2011 tweet by Farage thanking Orban for helping 'us' undermine the EU hasn't aged well.

It shows that for over 15 years Farage has been colluding with Orban and Russia to weaken the EU and undermine democracy.

Let's be like Hungarians and vote to derail Farage's fascist bandwagon.

If Starmer knew what that Mandelson failed his security vetting and didn’t tell Parliament, he lied to the house and should resign. If he really didn’t know that Mandelson failed his vetting, he’s incompetent and should resign.

Amid quarrel with pope, Trump strips Miami charity of funding to house migrant kids The move comes amid rising tensions between the administration and American Catholics.

The Trump Admin has abruptly canceled an $11M contract with Catholic Charities to shelter and care for migrant children who enter the U.S. alone, ending a relationship between the Catholic Church and the U.S. government dating back to the first arrivals of Cuban exiles in South Florida.

He Was Pardoned by Trump, Now Funding Reform UK Millions Trump-pardoned BitMEX co-founder Ben Delo gave £4M to Nigel Farage's Reform UK and plans to move back to Britain.

It’s all a self enrichment scam

Trump pardoned BitMEX co-founder Ben Delo March 2025 after his guilty plea to violations failing on anti-money laundering controls at the platform

He donated £4 million to Reform UK in 2026

Says he may now relocate to UK to bypass Labour's new overseas donor cap

Iran secretly acquired a Chinese-built spy satellite (TEE-01B) in late 2024 via the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps aerospace unit.

Leaked documents suggest the satellite was then used to monitor key U.S. military bases across the Middle East, producing time-stamped imagery and coordinates.

We don't know how much Reform-run KCC sold this off for, but they flogged off about 100 works of council-owned art in March for just £32,000.

Once they're gone from public hands, they're gone. £32,000 would barely cover an admin assistant for a year (when you inc. pension & emp taxes).

Given the way the IDF is acting—like genocidal savages—shouldn't we be considerably *more* concerned about Israel having nuclear weapons than almost anyone else?

In 47 years, the death toll from Iranian-sponsored terrorism appears to match approximately 3 hours of IDF bombardment

The Last Temptation of Trump at the End of a Failed War The president has backed himself into a corner where making a deal with Iran risks appearing, in his eyes, like a humiliating failure

Current Top Read:
Trump has backed himself into a corner with Iran. Any deal risks appearing, in his eyes, like a humiliating failure. The weight of that constraint presents a dangerous dynamic as the president threatens escalation, argues Hussein Banai.

Because people need to be informed. I support full UK membership of the EU. (Just as I passionately campaigned against leaving.) Frankly, the rejoin debate needs to be based on a realistic understanding of what rejoining means. Too many think it means rejoining on the previous terms. It doesn’t.

Please stop with the AI images. Most of these are fake.

It achieves nothing if we present a case that contains bullshit. It just helps Trump to dismiss it ALL as bullshit.
