Nigel Farage has pocketed more than £400,000 from GB News this year.
No wonder he's cheering from the sidelines as Trump tried to destroy the BBC.

The botched Brexit deal has left a billion pound black hole in the public finances.
We must fix it - starting with a customs union.

Instead of fixing the £90bn Brexit black hole - the government is hitting you with record high stealth taxes.
Ed said it best: We want to grow the economy, not tax the economy.

Yesssss! It's confirmed (at least in the OBR's release). The two child cap is gone! Lib Dems have been calling for this for so long because this will lift so many thousands of London children out of poverty.

Delighted the Transport Sec listened to my arguments, when I called on her this summer (in my previous shadow transport role) to freeze rail fares next year.
Rail needs to become more affordable as passenger numbers have flatlined for over a decade.

Rail fares to be frozen in England next year
Regulated fares, which include season tickets and off-peak returns, will not see annual price rises for the first time in 30 years, the government announces.

It’s shocking that uptake for free NHS Health Checks in Merton is barely half the London average.
Councils have a responsibility for residents’ uptake.
Tonight, we’re asking Merton Labour how this rate can be improved.

There is currently no Women's Health Hub serving any Primary Care Network in Merton.
Tonight, we’re asking Merton Labour when women in our area will have the same access to specialist women’s health services as they do in other boroughs.

At last night’s council meeting Merton Labour repeated the claim they "cleaned every street every week".
But by "cleaned" they don't mean "swept" - and they won't say how often pavements and roads are swept.
Tell us what your experience is...
