Robert Kenyon, a self-employed plumber, has been confirmed as Reform's official candidate for the upcoming contest in in Greater Manchester. Kenyon stood in the constituency (district) in the 2024 general election, and came second to Labour's Josh Simons. The by-election comes after Simons stepped down as MP to allow Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham an opportunity to contest the seat. @RobKenyonReform For me, Makerfield isn’t a stepping stone. It’s my home. The people here are my neighbours, friends & family. I took @Nigel_Farage out in my van to show him the places that matter to me. We chatted rugby league...

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton criticized President Donald Trump on Monday after his administration announced a $1.776 billion fund to compensate people who say they were wrongly targeted by federal investigations, saying the move goes beyond Trump's pardons of supporters convicted in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack. "Trump didn't just pardon his followers who stormed the U.S. Capitol," Clinton wrote on X. "He's now set them up for payments through a slush fund he created to reward his allies—out of your tax dollars. You could not make this up."

The media has an odd term for the sullen young women who have made a sexual fetish of pretty-boy killer Luigi Mangione. They’re called Luigi Fangirls. It evokes a frolic, young women skipping down the street, singing, holding hands. You know, “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.” But I much prefer another name, a more direct name: Witches. I’m told that witches are supposedly fictional, a phobia created by men, by the patriarchy, to impose our evil will upon women who cling to stories like “The Handmaid’s Tale,” to justify generations of their cruelties upon boys, from wholesale abortion to “gender...

President Donald Trump reignited debate over Greenland on Saturday after posting an image to Truth Social showing himself peering over snow-covered mountains toward the Arctic island territory with the caption: "Hello Greenland." The post comes amid heightened tensions between Greenlanders and the Trump administration following the opening of a new U.S. consulate in Nuuk and a controversial visit by Trump ally and Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry. HUNDREDS of demonstrators gathered outside the new American diplomatic mission on Friday, chanting "Greenland is for Greenlanders" and protesting what many viewed as renewed U.S. pressure over the strategically located territory. Protest organizer Aqqalukkuluk...

This Tiger has turned tail. The pot-puffing, rump-shaking homeless man called Tiger who turned Sullivan Street in Greenwich Village into his own private lair was cleared out by city authorities this week after The Post exposed his chaotic antics. The vagrant, who affixed a stuffed tiger’s tail to his behind, was evicted Saturday from his luxe encampment — which included a bed, couch, side table, and books.

Vile video shows Israeli couple harassed by antisemitic hotel employee in California: ‘Are you a baby killer?’ Two tourists in California were subject to vile antisemitism after a hotel worker asked the couple, “Are you a baby killer?” videos posted to social media showed.

@Nigel_Farage The Times have just released a new poll for the Makerfield by-election by Survation. Robert Kenyon is the only candidate who can stop Andy Burnham. This is a two horse race - nobody else comes close.

Our police are meant to police without fear or favour, but there is plenty of anecdotal evidence that they don’t – think of how they hold, or too often do not hold, the ring impartially between supporters of Israel and Palestine, Muslim and Christian preachers, supporters and opponents of trans rights, or whatever. Does all this matter? The Nowak case, with an obvious victim, shows clearly that it does There is a tendency for the great and the good to say this is no very big deal; the police are doing their best in difficult situations, complainants are normally tiresome...

My family leased a Kia EV9 and a Hyundai Ioniq 5. It shows your mileage may vary in even the most critically acclaimed electric cars. ...“Later that day” ended up taking much longer. The service center did not have the car ready until the end of the day on January 9, 2026, nearly a month after I brought it in.

According to WisDOT, the motorist removed a "road closed" barrier, and proceeded to drive onto the freshly-poured roadway.

President Trump trashed nemesis Stephen Colbert in an AI-generated video — literally. The 22-second clip shows Trump walking onto the set of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” as the host introduces his final episode. An AI-generated version of the president then man-handles his biggest basher, grabbing Colbert by the suit jacket and giving him three shakes. The president is then seen tossing Colbert into a green trash bin while the audience roars and Trump seals the lid and starts his signature dance to “Y.M.C.A.”

The government of Saudi Arabia reassured visitors on Friday that it is prepared to screen for and otherwise address any public health threats during the upcoming Hajj season, responding to growing international concern about the spread of Ebola and hantavirus. The hajj is the Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca, the holiest city in the religion, which Muslims are mandated to make, if possible, once in their lifetimes. Saudi Arabia typically welcomes upwards of one million Muslims to the city for the hajj on an annual basis, most coming from all over the world, including countries hostile to Saudi Arabia such as...

Very interesting video about the USS Yorktown aircraft carrier that sank in 1942 at the Battle of Midway.

@koshercockney Heartbreaking. Henry Nowak’s name has hardly been mentioned by anyone in the Mainstream Media. That’s why we must use our voices on platforms like X to raise awareness Henry’s friends and family posted this video of him and his sister Olivia with the caption “Henry is missed so much by so many. Henry's family have a drive and that is to keep Henry's name alive by raising money for “2Wish” the charity that continues to help them navigate their grief.” Rest in peace Henry. Sending love and prayers to his family right now. @elonmusk is already doing a great...
