The question for Nigel Farage now is whether it's less embarrassing to un-resign and claim that was an establishment stitchup, or to spend a month competing with a bin. Neither is exactly a *great* option. Neither solves his ongoing scandals. And it's a mess entirely of his own making.

I'm not hopeful, but man I hope he loses.

It's getting really hard to design poll questionnaires that don't prime people against Trump, just because of how crazy all this is. You cannot ask a "neutral" question about the president of the United States directing the Department of Justice to settle his case against the IRS. This is just crazy

Seem's relatively fair for me. Maybe could have been a little more Cosmopolitan if i'd chosen "no strong view" on a few where that may have been better.

On this one Sadiq. Fuck off. Not everything has to involve London.

I wonder if it's possible he did have *just* enough numbers but no where near commanding support. Then coupled with the Labour membership polling he realised how it would go... But still, Streeting seems to be the person who will still challenge rather than take pragmatic options.

I do wonder if he's just resigned himself to be a backbencher for the foreseeable future.

I really struggle to see Wes being able to, I feel too many people may have made up their mind up on him in a way that a change in campaign would be seen as too dishonest. Al Carns / Whoever I'd absolutely agree with James, very unpredictable.

And Reform have suspended him now... He lasted a long time...

Good to see the Lib Dems leading the call for this Reform Councillor to be removed. Was a little worried with Reform being led by a former LibDem Councillor how closel they'd be working together.

Something tells me he's not going to make it much longer...

This is one of the results I was really hoping would be different.

I believe these are the Sheffield Results: Greens 28.2% (+6.0%) Reform 25.8% (+25.4%) Labour 20.3% (-19.1%) Lib Dem 18% (-4.0%) Conservatives 3.9% (-5.5%) Independents 3.0% (-1.2%) TUSC 0.8% (-1.3%) UKIP 0.0% (+0.0%) Changes with 2024

So I make Sheffield Councils makeup: Labour 25 Lib Dem 22 Green 20 Reform 13 Independent 4 (3 elected as Labour) So Labour should be in position to retain the leadership, but with winning only 2/28 wards today I really don't know who's going to lead.

Dissapointed to see Tom lose his seat. Pretty sure the next leader won't be from Labour anyway, but would have be nice if he was still a councillor.

Actually quite surprised to now live in a Green ward. (Well the 3 councillors here are now 1 Lib Dem, 1 Labour, 1 Green)

This has to be the funniest question AND response I've ever seen in a poll. Less than half of Republican men think they could beat Trump in a fight. What a bunch of pathetic losers.

I guess it's nice to finally receive a leaflet from the greens in this seat. It just might be the worst local election leaflet I've ever received. Why do national only leaflets for a local campaign, it makes me personally less likely to vote not more.

Note "including in Lebanon"

Was always expacting a late night TACO, but still, it tastes good to actually get.

A correction will appear in tomorrow's print edition: "A headline with an article on Friday about President Trump’s threats to leave NATO misstated the full name of the body. It is the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, not the North American Treaty Organization."

Not sure Starmer has gotten press this good since becoming PM.

"end infighting" good luck with that...

Peter Mandelbrot. It’s just infinite scandals the more you zoom in.

At this point i feel we should just start the process of joining the EU to make the criticisms make some sense.

*yawn*

Time for another update to the state of the parties. With Braverman defecting to reform plus Gwynne being appointed to the Manor of Northstead (Vacated seat) Reform would have been double figures now, had 40% of their initial MPs not left the party...

I think this was probably the wrong move regardless of whether you support Burnham or not.

They know what they say is untrue, they do not care it is untrue. The media know that what they repeat is untrue, they do not care it is untrue. Their supporters know what they are told is untrue, they do not care it is untrue. Telling the truth is not enough, unless people care about the truth.

I think the US is *generally* a friend and ally... But I don't think they *currently* are.

457 British dead you ungrateful orange fuck.

Thought it was time to update my State of the Parties file. Honestly just a bit dissapointed we've had so few by-elections.

So is this Polanski supporting the strategy of the Government in sending troops (well one person) to Greenland. Which was opposing Trump that has resulted in the tariffs? Or is it that we should have nuked the US to avoid the tariffs? What's this asking for...

The nobel peace prize as a whole is becoming less meaningful. Not that it was that meaningful to begin with, but hopefully starts being less respected.

Incredibly, no-one on Nigel Farage’s team has got round to deleting this post. It’s still live as Robert Jenrick gives his big defection speech.

Well he couldn't actuallt defect from the Conservatives after they got rid of him, but he was set on defecting, so defected from Reform immediately.

If this was similiar to the show, it would actually be Jenrick having been voted out revealing he was actually Faithful.

As damaging as possible? He was planning to defect to Your Party?

I'm half expecting him to go rogue and claim Greeland for Britain.

I'd be happy for the UK and France to add military presence, could issue a statement along the lines of: "With the US President reporting Greenland is under threat from Russia and China we have positioned Nuclear Submarines in the North Atlantic ready to defend Greenland against *any* attack"

Ukip have submitted a new logo and slogan to the Electoral Commission, swapping the £ pound sterling symbol for a cross, that looks very much like it is modelled on the Iron Cross used by Prussia & Germany 1871-1918 and Hitler's Nazi regime from 1933-45

Not sure i'd say they turned it off, they just made CSAM and nonconsensual sexual imagery into a premium feature... Whcih i'm sure is exactly what everyone was demanding...

So we know the next leader of Venezuala is still going to be keeping it a dictatorship.

2/ ~old jk is best jk~

Does he genuinely think this will help him get the Nobel Peace Prize?

It is nice that even among such tragedy we see the positives in humanity too. Putting himself at such risk to save others. This is done in view of the other gunman. This hero was shot twice, but recovering.

I'm surprised she didn't manage a 0 star review.

Correcting an earlier error - “You’ll have to prize it from my cold dead hands” was not, in fact, a design suggestion.

Just been looking into this ridiculous story, she's lying saying she's "British U-14 girls champion" because she only won the championship specifically for british u-14 girls... Subheadings saying she was actually only 26th. The 'winner' in that definition came 16th with a score of -1 (Reeves -2).
