More than 150 Russian Shahed attack drones are simultaneously in Ukrainian skies, monitoring channels report.

Even during large-scale strikes, such a number in the air at once is unusual — typically, additional waves are launched later.

New Reform UK councillors in Kent promised efficiency, but have taken just a few months to go back on their pledges. And the embarrassing mess is yet another sign that the posh-boy hatemongers have nothing positive to offer ordinary people.

the big problem with the inevitable ID verification data thefts is that it won't be the actual main org getting their stuff swiped; it'll be endless third parties nobody has ever really heard of, and the accountability chain will never, ever reach back to ukgov. the buck will stop with blorko ltd

Nigel Farage accuses teachers of "poisoning our kids" on race issues.

Here's a reminder of what teachers and fellow pupils at Farage's own school remember of his own views on that subject.

Twelve Jobs Nigel has earned over £1 million in additional income since the general election.

To understand the scale of it, since the July 2024 election he's earned roughly £100k more as a brand ambassador for Direct Bullion than Starmer gets as PM.

When was the last time you heard Farage say anything positive about Britain?

He can’t, as he doesn’t like or believe in Britain. He wants you to doubt it as much as he does.
