While the rise of Reform continues at pace among the voting intention surveys, the Green Party surge is becoming one hell of a sub-plot. However, the mega-poll shared by Find Out Now this week shows that the Greens are ready for top billing – and Keir Starmer has a lot to be worried about. Criticised for ‘aping’ Reform by Green Party leader Zack Polanski, Sir Keir has struggled to match the insurgency of Nigel Farage and his colleagues, with the right-leaning organisation consistently topping the opinion polls throughout 2025. Labour, meanwhile, have seen their support plummet. If these trends continues...

BREAKING - The young Scottish girl, who was forced to brandish a knife and an axe to defend herself and her sister against a Romanian migrant and was arrested, has been vindicated after a Romanian grooming gang was jailed for sexually abusing women across Dundee.

Nigel Farage has overtaken Sir Keir Starmer as the nation’s preferred choice of prime minister for the first time. The Reform UK leader is seen as a better candidate to lead the country by 33 per cent of people, compared with 30 per cent who prefer Sir Keir, a poll shows. A monthly tracker of political preferences by Ipsos, the polling firm, also shows that Andy Burnham, the mayor for Greater Manchester, is favoured over Sir Keir as a better prime minister. Meanwhile, Kemi Badenoch, the Conservative Party leader, appears to be enjoying a post-conference bump with voters choosing the...

And so it happens that Lord Peter Mandelson is back to Britain, after getting fired as US ambassador in the wake of the scandal caused by his emails to late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Football is more than just a game; for many, it's a matter of national pride and local identity. Supporting your home team is often seen as a fundamental rule. But what happens when a prominent nationalist figure asks his followers to cheer for a foreign club against an English side? That's the question currently engulfing nationalist Tommy Robinson, who has sparked outrage by pledging his allegiance to Israel's Maccabi Tel Aviv over Aston Villa. A Patriot's Puzzling Jersey Swap The controversy began with a defiant post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. Robinson shared pictures of himself smiling...

Far-right activist Tommy Robinson was unlawfully stopped driving a Bentley at the entrance to the Channel Tunnel, and counter-terrorism officers made a disproportionate use of their powers, his lawyer has told a court. The 42-year-old, who was charged under his real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon is standing trial at Westminster Magistrates' Court for refusing to give the Pin for his mobile phone to officers during the stop. He has pleaded not guilty. Prosecutor Jo Morris said that while the stop may not have been "perfect", that does not mean it was unlawful. Judgement in the trial has been delayed until 4...

Sir Keir Starmer has been mocked after he awkwardly thought Donald Trump was inviting him to the stage to speak. The UK Prime Minister was lined up behind the US President as he spoke to the world's media in Egypt, taking time to praise leaders for their involvement in peace deals. Thanking a list of countries for their work towards various international conflicts, Mr Trump ended with the United Kingdom, with Sir Keir receiving a welcome from the US leader who referred to him as 'his friend'. The PM awkwardly appeared to mistake this as an invitation on to the...

The US ambassador to Israel has called cabinet minister Bridget Phillipson "delusional" after she told Sky News the UK played a key role in the Gaza peace deal. The education secretary told Sunday Morning With Trevor Phillips that Sir Keir Starmer's presence at a signing ceremony for the ceasefire deal in Egypt on Monday "demonstrates the key role that we have played". She did not say exactly what the UK's role in the ceasefire, largely attributed to Donald Trump, is or was. But she added: "We have played a key role behind the scenes in shaping this. "It's right that...

Writing in The Times, the prime minister says that Britain has become indifferent to antisemitism, posing a profound threat to the nation and its values.

Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama was seen storming over in mock fury, and telling Macron: 'You should make an apology … to us because you didn't congratulate us on the peace deal that President Trump made between Albania and Azerbaijan'.

Anti-Semitic hatred is “rising” in Britain again, Keir Starmer warned. The Prime Minister, speaking after a terrorist murdered two people and left three more fighting for their lives in Manchester, said Jews face a “daily threat”. Anger erupted in the Jewish community about a rise in anti-Semitism and Labour’s stance on Israel. The Israeli foreign minister, Gideon Sa’ar, accused Britain of failing to “take the necessary action to curb this toxic wave of antisemitism and have effectively allowed it to persist”. Security chiefs are assessing whether the terror threat level needs to be increased following the attack in Manchester. Investigators...

snip The post in question had been shared by North on X in August and featured a Palestinian flag with the words: "F--- Palestine. F--- Hamas. F--- Islam. Want to protest? F--- off to Muslim country and protest." North confirmed to The Telegraph that although the meme contained offensive references to Palestine and Islam, officers in the interview at the station appeared preoccupied with the part directed at Hamas. "The officer in the interview said, ‘Well, firstly, let’s start with the meme. You posted a meme that said f--- Hamas,’" North recalled to the British outlet. "I said, ‘yeah, I...

The prime minister has warned Reform UK "will tear this country apart" ahead of the Labour party conference. Arriving in Liverpool on Saturday, Sir Keir Starmer said Reform's plans to abolish indefinite leave to remain (ILR) for legal migrants was one of "the most shocking things" Nigel Farage's party had said. Sir Keir said the conference would be an opportunity to show Labour's alternative to the "toxic divide and decline" offered by Reform. He is under pressure after opinion polls show Labour trailing Reform UK, alongside speculation Great Manchester mayor Andy Burnham could mount a leadership challenge. Farage told the...

Since Labour came to power, it has become clear that the battle against extremism has taken a back seat to political expediency. Labour has always had a counter-extremism problem, and after two decades of work I have done in this area which started post 7/7 under the Blair government, Labour continues to flounder in challenging Islamism in Britain. This Government, it seems, is being straight-jacketed by Islamist loudmouths who have hijacked the public discourse space on who represents Muslims in the UK. These political extremists who have hijacked Islam continue to smear and threaten those within Muslim communities who dare...

The summit has been organized by a collection of left-leaning groups, including the Center for American Progress, which has ties to past Democratic administrations, and Labour Together, a...

Back in February, a Turkish refugee named Hamit Coskun decided to protest Islam by burning a Quran outside the Turkish Embassy in London. Coskun is an atheist who left Turkey in 2022 to flee government persecution.

That's right, the psycho knife-wielder who tried to kill a guy for insulting his...

Donald Trump humiliated Keir Starmer today with brutal swipes at Labour's Net Zero drive. The US President used a rambling speech at the UN to brand climate change 'the greatest con job ever'. The UK was singled out for particular criticism, despite Mr Trump being honoured with his second state visit to Britain just last week. Mr Trump also laid into Labour's London mayor Sir Sadiq Khan with an extraordinary allegation that he wanted to introduce Sharia law to the capital. The US President told the UN General Assembly in New York: 'I want to stop seeing them ruining that...
