    A viral petition demanding a new general election over Labour and Sir Keir Starmer’s “broken promises” has soared to nearly three million signatures. The Government swept to power with a massive majority in July’s national poll, ratcheting up a stonking 174-seat majority in the House of Commons. But even as the results were declared, critics pointed out that Labour only achieved a 33.7% share of the vote – just 1.6% more than the party achieved when Jeremy Corbyn was comprehensively beaten in 2019. Controversial decisions to cut winter fuel payments to pensioners and slap inheritance tax charges on farmers have...

    As part of a campaign stop planned for Iowa last week, Rudy Giuliani's Des Moines office called Deb and Jerry VonSprecken to see if they'd host an event at their farm. They agreed. After several days of planning and a security check, though, Deb was told to call Giuliani's New York office: "They wanted to know our assets," she revealed, and added that she and Jerry have a modest 80 acre farm and raise cattle. Later she received a call from Tony Delgado at the Des Monies location. "Tony said, 'I'm sorry, you aren't worth a million dollars and he...
