Richard Tice Slammed Andy Burnham On GMB
On Good Morning Britain, Reform UK MP Richard Tice launched a scathing on-air rant aimed at Andy Burnham, accusing him of doing a “bad job” on government spending and borrowing costs. Tice interrupted the presenters, slammed Burnham’s handling of borrowing costs, and mocked him as a politician who’s been “in nappies” since entering politics. That’sContinue reading “Richard Tice Slammed Andy Burnham On GMB”
Tight Finances Always Hit The Disabled
MP John Healey’s warning that “public finances look difficult” is grounded in a very real fiscal squeeze — and yes, the pressure is being directed toward disability benefits, especially PIP. PIP has become the only rising part of working‑age welfare, and with Paul Johnson warning of an “extraordinary surge” in disability spending, the Treasury isContinue reading “Tight Finances Always Hit The Disabled”
Long Grass, Short Tenancy
Reform says they’ll build 50,000 new social homes — but if your garden starts looking like Jumanji, they’ll evict you before you can say ‘strimmer’. Reform would evict social home tenants who don’t mow their lawns or take out their bins, the party’s chairman says — basically, keep the grass short or the tenancy’s shorter.Continue reading “Long Grass, Short Tenancy”
Reform: The Rich Rise, The Rest Get Stripped
Voting Reform is like cutting your own lifeboat because you don’t like the people on the next raft. Reform voters: turkeys voting for Christmas — and they’ve already basted themselves. However, Turkeys are way smarter — they’d never vote for the chef holding the carving knife. What do we have to look forward to underContinue reading “Reform: The Rich Rise, The Rest Get Stripped”
Bounce? More Like A Belly‑Flop
There was a hint today that the Burnham bounce might be losing altitude, spotted wobbling slightly as it tried to navigate the nation’s expectations with all the grace of a shopping trolley with one dodgy wheel. Less than a month after the PM strolled into No. 10, a poll now shows his favourability has alreadyContinue reading “Bounce? More Like A Belly‑Flop”
Under NHS Reform, Appointments Will Change
The “major NHS reform” changing hospital appointments is the government’s shift to move most outpatient care out of hospitals and into neighbourhood health centres — a structural overhaul that ministers are calling a “fundamental rewiring” of the NHS. This is being presented as a win for patients because it promises faster access, fewer hospital trips,Continue reading “Under NHS Reform, Appointments Will Change”
Andy Burnham’s Labour Coup ‘On A Knife-Edge’
Andy Burnham’s prospects in the Makerfield by‑election are genuinely knife‑edge, with the latest constituency polling revealing an incredibly tight race between Labour and Reform UK. The first Survation poll (18–22 May, N=369) puts Burnham on 43 per cent and Reform’s Robert Kenyon on 40 per cent, well within the ±5.1‑point margin of error. Reform’s localContinue reading “Andy Burnham’s Labour Coup ‘On A Knife-Edge’”

Farage Referred To As A ‘Toytown Trump’ By The “Marxist” Teachers’ Chief
Nigel Farage has exchanged blows with a ‘Marxist’ teachers’ leader whose trade union vowed to mobilise members to prevent him becoming Prime Minister – and dubbed him a ‘Toytown Trump’.
