    Party conference begins next week when Reform UK kick off their two-day jamboree in Birmingham. Spirits within Nigel Farage’s party are high after a successful summer in which they dominated the recess period with a well-executed ‘flood the zone’ media strategy. A steady drumbeat of weekly announcements culminated on Tuesday when Reform’s long-awaited deportation strategy was unveiled. Now, the party has received a further boost with a new poll for the i paper which gives them their highest polling to date: Reform 35, Labour 20, Conservatives 17 per cent. This is the first time Reform has hit 35 points. Polling...

    Reform UK is on course for a landslide majority at the election, as a new poll reveals Nigel Farage's party is now polling more than Labour and the Tories combined. FindOutNow asked voters who they would back at the election, and found Reform now sits well ahead of all other parties on 34% of the vote. Labour support is now at just 18%, their lowest since 2019, while the Tories have fallen another two points to a paltry 15%. The LibDems are closing in on Kemi Badenoch, rising one point to 13%, with the Greens on 10%. According to the...

    By now you might have seen a video clip circulating on social media of a defiant and terrified young Scottish girl wielding a knife and a hatchet to fend off the advances of a migrant man who allegedly had been harassing her and her younger sister. You can hear the fear and anger in their voices, a mix of desperation and rage and confusion. You can also hear the man’s voice, taunting them. At one point one of the girls cries out, “Don’t touch my little sister, she’s only twelve!” You might also have heard how the story ended: the...

    When we see people of all ages and both sexes demonstrating under St George’s Cross and the Union flag, and when local residents hang flags on lampposts, it is a sign of something momentous. This combination of English and British flags is full of meaning, symbolising respectively the culture of the country and the sovereignty of the state – both now under threat. Usually, displaying the flag signals loyalty. Today, it has become a sign of discontent. When local authorities remove our national flags because they are deemed “dangerous”, the point is emphatically underlined. “We are the people of England,...

    Flying the St George's cross has been a topic of hot debate this week with many left wondering what the law says on flying flags from your home. What many people don't know is that there are certain criteria which must be met to fly a flag from your house without consent, according to the government website. Now the rules have been clarified as many residents across North Staffordshire have been erecting flags over the last few days. On the 'Flying flags: a plain English guide' page, the government makes it clear flags are "a very British way of expressing...

    Rachel Reeves’ tax-and-spend gamble is driving Britain towards a 1970s-style debt crisis and bailout from the International Monetary Fund, leading economists have warned. They have said the Chancellor’s handling of the economy risks a return to the years of high inflation and borrowing that ended with Britain being forced to borrow billions from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) 50 years ago. It came as leading retailers sounded the alarm over the rising cost of taxes and red tape, which is pushing the country into an era of “stagflation”. On Saturday night, Nigel Farage, the Reform UK leader aid the economic...

    Bernadette Spofforth lay in jail on a blue gym mattress in a daze, finding it difficult to move, even breathe. “I just closed down. But the other half of my brain went into Jack Reacher mode,” she said, referring to the fictional action hero. “Every single detail was in this very vivid, bright, sharp focus.” She remembers noticing that you can’t drown yourself in the toilet, because there’s no standing water in it and the flush button is too far to reach if your head were in the bowl. She’d end up being detained for 36 hours in July 2024....

    TEL AVIV – A consulting firm almost entirely composed of former staffers of President Obama’s re-election campaign has been hired to run an election effort in Israel aimed at defeating Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The conservative blogosphere is reporting Jeremy Bird, national field director for Obama’s 2012 campaign, is now working for a new non-profit group, V15, that is running an effort to defeat Netanyahu in the upcoming election. A closer look at Bird’s consulting firm as well as its working relationship with the Israeli groups finds he is just one of scores of former senior Obama election campaign staffers...

    In September 2022, U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson claimed he was leaving office with "unemployment…down to lows not seen since I was about 10 years old and bouncing around on a space hopper." In reality, the number of people who were economically inactive had risen by almost 400,000, and an enormous rise in the number of people claiming long-term sickness benefits was already underway. How did Johnson get away with claiming unemployment was exceptionally low? Government unemployment statistics only look at those who are actively looking for work. If someone is studying, a caregiver, or categorized as long-term sick, they...
  • UN Reports 88 Percent of Aid Trucks Slated for Delivery in Gaza Since May Looted Along Routes

    Latest DevelopmentsAid Trucks Looted: Data from the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) showed that between May 19 and August 5, more than 2,600 trucks carrying humanitarian aid crossed from Israel into Gaza. However, only 300 of these trucks reached their intended destinations in Gaza during that period, with some 2,309 trucks being “intercepted” and looted along their delivery routes — undermining the recent claim of Tom Fletcher, the UN under-secretary-general for humanitarian affairs, that “the vast majority of the aid gets to civilians.” UNOPS’s data did not distinguish between the parties responsible for the interceptions, noting only that...

    The rate of Britons aged 16 to 24 who respond affirmatively when asked if they "believe there is a God/there are gods" has risen from 16% to 37% since August 2021, according to a YouGov poll released earlier this month. The poll also found that adherence to atheism within the same age demographic dropped from 49% in August 2021 to 32% four years later. The Rt. Rev. Jill Duff, who serves as the bishop of Lancaster, attributed the statistics in part to the growing number of young people who are spiritually searching, according to The Telegraph. Duff said she believes...

On Monday, independent Derry City and Strabane District councillor Gary Donnelly said he believed the flag had been removed from the bonfire. Foyle College confirmed on Tuesday that the flag had now been handed back to the school. The school thanked those involved in securing the safe return of the flag.

    The UK government has dropped its demands to create a backdoor into Apple's encryption, according to the US intelligence chief Tulsi Gabbard. In a post on X in the early hours of Tuesday, Ms Gabbard said the UK had withdrawn its demand to access global Apple users' data if required. She wrote: "The UK has agreed to drop its mandate for Apple to provide a 'back door' that would have enabled access to the protected encrypted data of American citizens and encroached on our civil liberties." The US spy chief said it was the result of months of working closely...

    Four Trinidadians have said US authorities questioned them about their contact with a suspected al-Qaeda operative after he visited T&T in 2001. Adnan G El Shukrijumah was named when US attorney general John Ashcroft warned of intelligence showing al-Qaeda plans for an attack against the United States. Large photos of El Shukrijumah and six others were displayed at a news conference in Washington on Wednesday. The Saudi native visited Trinidad for six days in May 2001 and stayed with Zainool Ali, who lives in Chaguanas. Ali and three others were questioned by US authorities in late 2003, they told AP....

REUTERS - The French architect linked to China’s biggest political scandal in two decades and detained in Cambodia will not be extradited to any country, a minister said, adding another twist to a high-profile case already shrouded in mystery. Cambodian Foreign Minister Hor Namhong gave no details on what grounds China had requested the arrest of Patrick Henri Devillers, whose whereabouts is unknown, but...

    Private patients who rely on the hit weight-loss jab Mounjaro are facing a brutal price surge of up to 170% from September, after US drug giant Eli Lilly confirmed it is hiking UK prices to match other European countries. The monthly cost for the highest dose of Mounjaro, also used to treat type 2 diabetes, will leap from £122 to a staggering £330. The increase will not hit NHS patients, who are covered under a separate deal, but those paying privately – often via online clinics or high street pharmacies – will feel the full force of the ris Lilly...

But when it was sent for analysis it was confirmed it was dog meat. Inspectors also discovered mice droppings and cockroaches inside the establishment.

    Shocking cell phone video purportedly shows a police officer in the United Kingdom explaining how an army veteran was arrested over an anti-LGBTQ post he reshared online that had caused someone "anxiety." The video was recorded by actor and leader of the British Reclaim Party Laurence Fox, who shared a meme on social media showing Pride flags altered into the shape of a swastika. He said the meme was meant as a commentary on the authoritarian nature of LGBTQ and transgender activists. Fox began recording after Hampshire police arrived at the home of 51-year-old British army veteran Darren Brady, who...

The suspect, who was...

    REPORT: Female UK police officers are going undercover by dressing in tight clothes to elicit catcalls from men so they can then arrest them, according to the Telegraph. The Surrey Police Department is proud to announce that multiple men have been arrested for "harassment." The females are reportedly pretending to be joggers to catch men catcalling them. "One of our officers was honked at within 10 minutes, then another vehicle slowed down, beeping and making gestures just 30 seconds later, that’s how f
