Labour promised change, instead we're seeing the same old chaos as under the Conservative Party.
No wonder the public are so fed up.
The PM should hold a confidence vote now so the government can focus on fixing the cost-of-living crisis, the NHS and the economy.

Against a corrupt, exhausted, unlucky Government, which under-estimated the threat from Reform, trying for its fifth General Election in a row, Morgan McSweeney delivered 33.7% of the vote. And he then made Starmer the most unpopular PM ever. That's the measure of the man's 'genius'.

With polls and membership at an all-time high, the Green party are having a moment – and it’s largely down to their charismatic (if slightly cheesy) new leader. Can he really pull off a socialist revolution?

Hate-filled fake videos about London are everywhere. We've obtained a recording of a TikToker confessing to secretly filming Londoners in their homes for clicks.
He says it's not political. He just wants to make money from far-right anger.

Lady Victoria Hervey, ex-girlfriend of former 'Prince Andrew', tells that not being named in the Epstein Files is an 'insult'.
Utterly vile with the most serious lack of respect for the victims. 🤬

Starmer's Labour promised to clean up politics, promised to ban second jobs for MPs. But has done nothing.
This must change. Cap donations. Ban 2nd jobs. Fines for non- and late declarations.
