Nigel Farage's No2 has come under fire after refusing to explicitly condemn a Reform councillor who said Nigerians should be melted and put into potholes.

Hegseth’s lies about attacks on U.S. troops should be a massive story, similar to how the Pentagon is reportedly covering up recent casualties in the Middle East. trib.al/Ob2fJRL

President Donald Trump is being propped up by those in a position to manipulate him, a former Trump admin official has claimed.

"The firing squad is very physical and visceral... They like it because it’s the same kind of video game brutality that they like in every other context of this administration’s barbarism."

Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them. New piece ↓ open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Why is cervical cancer declining rapidly in younger women? They got the HPV vaccine before they were sexually active. That’s right. Vaccines are safe AND effective whether you believe it or not.. #MedSky 🧪

Rep. Masses is not taking his foot off the gas in his efforts regarding the Epstein files.

New research from Sheffield Hallam University and the University of Doha for Science and Technology has found that Brexit has reduced the City of London’s financial clout. They argued that "until the reset reaches the City, London’s diminished role in European markets looks set to stay."

'Who do we call?' Chaos after Trump gutted oil crisis team months before Iran strikes

The term is defined as refusing to spare surrendering troops and killing them instead, a clear violation of the Geneva Conventions.

EXCLUSIVE: Reform UK’s Welsh leader has ruled out moving to an insurance-based healthcare system. That puts him at odds with the party’s Britain-wide boss Nigel Farage.

JD Vance made a vow to voters that he and Donald Trump would stop sending “young people to fight stupid wars” in “faraway lands,” according to a recently resurfaced clip from 2024.

The military targeting of desalination plants poses a huge risk to water security in the water-scarce Gulf region.

MacKenzie Scott’s more than $26 billion in charitable gifts have arrived without warning and have led to bolstered finances, scholarships and jobs.

This ghoul has finally been fired. But make no mistake, Stephen Miller is still in charge of DHS and especially ICE.

NEW: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says the United States has asked Ukraine for help intercepting Iranian-made Shahed drones, citing Ukraine’s battlefield expertise. Zelenskyy said any assistance will come only if it does not weaken Ukraine’s own defenses.

With a turmeric-infused crust, this pie from the British author Nadiya Hussain riffs on the lamb samosas she grew up eating with her Bangladeshi family. nyti.ms/4aLJ1w2

Ossoff: "The president owes Americans a real explanation. 2am posts on Truth Social just aren't good enough when you're sending Americans into combat. He was dancing at his beach club the same night he ordered air crews to launch into combat & hours before our service members endured missile salvos"

The President has launched our nation and our great military into a war of choice, risking American lives and resources, ignoring American law, and endangering our allies and partners. It does nothing to help with the urgent problems here at home that Americans face every day.

"Trying to compete with Reform not only feels inauthentic... but a betrayal of what Labour is supposed to represent. We must address the concerns and fears of voters, not play on them." Damning stuff from Sadiq Khan www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Remember when Congress authorized the use of force against Iran? Me neither. Any U.S. attack on Iran would violate U.S. and international law.

When you think about it for more than 5 seconds, it really is both insane and outrageous that *HILLARY CLINTON* - a woman who apparently has never met with nor corresponded with Jeffrey Epstein was one of the first people deposed.

It's not hyperbole to suggest that today we have a federal government that doesn't so much represent or resemble a federal administration as it does a family crime syndicate.

Measles was wiped out in the U.S. 25 years ago and now we’re already past 1,000 cases in February because vaccination rates dropped below the safety line. This is what happens when public health gets gutted and people stop trusting basic science.

Keir Starmer calls on Nigel Farage to sack Reform UK councillor who shared Facebook post which said Labour MP Natalie Fleet “should be shot”. (He later deleted & apologised). PM: "When death threats were made against the member for Clacton, I stood at this dispatch box and condemned them outright..

Rep. Massie:  “I've not seen any arrests from the revelations in the Epstein files…Over two dozen people have resigned, CEOs, members of government worldwide. But I haven't seen any arrests or investigations here in the United States from this DOJ.”

Israel lobby groups have spread doctored quotes by UN Special Rapporteur for Human Rights Francesca Albanese to defame her. Their desperate campaign is a testament to her work and the threat she poses by holding Israel accountable for genocide.

Lying for 2 hours straight won't solve any of the issues he's been underwater on for months. Everything is more expensive, corruption is rampant, and the Epstein Class gets richer while you get screwed. The lies you heard tonight won’t matter in November.

People in Clacton are calling Nigel Farage: Nigel Mirage.

What problem is Trump's new global 10% tariff meant to solve? If it's about leverage, ask: How much leverage do you get from a tariff that disappears in 150 days? If it's onshoring: Who builds new factories based on tariff that disappear before the factory is built? It's a tax. That's all it is.

ya, if you're smart enough to understand it.

“There are signs the government sees Palantir and other U.S. tech firms as a political liability. Ministers were nowhere to be seen at a Palantir event in central London last week “celebrating the next chapter” of its partnership with the MoD.” www.politico.eu/article/brit...

What $70 million in taxpayer money buys: a private luxury jet for Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski to jet-set around on. And we’re supposed to believe it’s used for deporting undocumented immigrants.

We know exactly why. It is clear.
