In the wake of the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, Brexit leader Nigel Farage announced that he is going make an emergency trip to the United States to show solidarity with his longtime friend and political ally. The newly-elected Reform UK Member of Parliament said that he will fly to Milwaukee for the Republican National Convention this week to “stand shoulder to shoulder with President Trump and the US to stand up for democracy.” Writing in The Telegraph the morning following the attempt on Donald Trump’s life by a gunman, Mr Farage said: “I do so to support my friend,...

On his first day in office, newly elected Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer reportedly scrapped the plan to send illegal boat migrants to Rwanda rather than putting them up in hotels in Britain. The scheme to send illegals to have their often spurious asylum claims in processing centres in the East African nation of Rwanda first put forward by ex-PM Boris Johnson in 2022 to deal with the migrant crisis in the English Channel has been abandoned by the left-wing Labour government on its first day, a party insider told The Telegraph.

The U.K. Blowout: Mark Steyn’s View [Updated]Mark Steyn comments on yesterday’s U.K. election. His thoughts are consistent with Scott’s, but expressed in Mark’s unique voice:Across the United Kingdom almost every constituency voted for lefties of various stripes – not just victorious Labour lefties, but also Scots nationalist lefties, Irish republican lefties, eco-lefties, Islamo-lefties and, of course, duplicitous pseudo-conservative lefties: you can get it in any colour as long as it’s red. So, if you’re one of those Britons concerned about, say, transformative mass migration or the right to freedom of speech, things are going to spend the next few years...

It's not like they really had a choice the way their system is set up and the almost total lack of appreciable differences between the two main parties. The 'conservative' Tories had held the reins of power for 14 increasingly shaky years, the last two under the inept and effete Rishi Sunak.The final nail in Sunak's projectile-studded political coffin was his tone-deaf early scuttle back to England from the 80th anniversary Normandy ceremonies. Sunak did so as not to miss a friendly - although God knows he needed one - prearranged television interview. It was inconvenient for his flailing camping...

The defeated leader of the Conservative Party, which suffered its worst election result in well over a century overnight, has said he is stepping down from power and will also give up control of what remains of his political faction. “I have heard your anger, disappointment and I take responsibility for this loss,” said Rishi Sunak on Friday morning at the podium in front of Downing Street. The Prime Minister acknowledged the country has given a clear signal that it wants change, and said he would go to King Charles III to tender his resignation. The Prime Minister immediately got...

Labour Leader Keir Starmer poised to become Britain's next prime minister. British voters frustrated by a sluggish economy voted to oust their conservative party from power after 14 years of rule, and turn to liberal Labour Leader Keir Starmer to be their next prime minister. Exit polls showed the Labour Party was poised for a landslide victory, ending Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's turbulent tenure. "To everyone who has campaigned for Labour in this election, to everyone who voted for us and put their trust in our changed Labour Party - thank you," Starmer wrote on the X social platform after...

Abed Abubaker is a terrorist supporter. He publicly celebrates the murder of Jews and justifies the slaughter of civilians. His immediate family supports terrorism. His cousin is an Islamic Jihad terrorist. Abed’s best friend’s father was a Hamas enforcer. How did the BBC fawn over him and give him so much unchallenged airtime on at least four separate occassions? So here is a legitimate question: How many times can the BBC produce fake news or be caught platforming terrorist supporters before it justifiably gets labelled as a Hamas propaganda website? I have been doing what I can to highlight the...

Parliament has five new independent Pro-Gaza MPs - including Jeremy Corbyn - who won seats after squeezing the Labour vote in Muslim areas by campaigning for a Free Palestine. Barrister Ayoub Khan, who quit the Lib Dems over Gaza, is the new MP for Perry Barr who left Labour rival Khalid Mahmood close to tears in a defeat where he used TikTok to harness the youth vote. Local optician Shockat Adam also used Instagram and WhatsApp as he forced out Labour stalwart Jonathan Ashworth MP for Leicester South in another huge shock.

Britain's Labour Party swept to power Friday after more than a decade in opposition, as a jaded electorate handed the party a landslide victory — but also a mammoth task of reinvigorating a stagnant economy and dispirited nation. Labour leader Keir Starmer will officially become prime minister later Friday, leading his party back to government less than five years after it suffered its worst defeat in almost a century. In the merciless choreography of British politics, he will take charge in 10 Downing Street hours after Thursday's votes are counted — as Conservative leader Rishi Sunak is hustled out. "First...

Polls have closed in the UK General Election, and the nationwide exit poll says the Labour Party has won around 410 seats nationwide, replacing the Conservatives after 14 wasted years. Sir Keir Starmer, a top lawyer who once served as the United Kingdom’s Director of Public Prosecutions and supposedly former hardline leftist radical, who claims to have changed his mind and reformed the Labour party he now leads into a mature and capable governing force, is going to be the next Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

Britain’s Labour Party was projected on Thursday evening to win a landslide election victory, sweeping the Conservative Party out of power after 14 years, in a thundering anti-incumbent revolt that heralded a new era in British politics. A nationwide exit poll conducted for the BBC and two other broadcasters indicated that Labour was on course to win around 410 of the 650 seats in the British House of Commons, versus 131 for the Conservatives.

Polls close in less than 3 hours. 10pm (GMT +1). Voter ID is mandatory. Results will come in through the night UK time meaning Freepers on ET/PT will have a ringside seat. Respected pollster Survation report that Nigel Farage's Reform UK party could win 15 or more seats with Labour scoring a massive majority. Nigel himself should get elected so it depends how many go with him. That will be the story worth following. Good luck.

@liz_churchill10 “Those connected to Islamist Ideology must be stripped of their Nationality and expelled. The French who adopt the Ideology of the Enemy must be punished. Radical Mosques will be shut down…and the Muslim Brotherhood will be dissolved…” -Marine Le Pen

Nigel Farage has said that it would be a “disaster” if Marine Le Pen’s National Rally won power in France. The Reform UK leader said the hard-Right party would be “even worse for the economy than the current lot”. But he praised Giorgia Meloni, the hard-Right prime minister of Italy, saying: “She’s brought her party into the 21st century. Some of the more radical Italians might not like it, but she’s been a very good thing and she’s made her party electable.” Mr Farage spoke to the Unherd website before the National Rally won the largest share of the vote...

Photo British politician George Galloway, known for his anti-Israel views, lost the Rochdale constituency in Thursday’s parliamentary election, just months after winning it. Galloway, leader of the Workers Party of Britain, received 11,508 votes, behind Labour’s Paul Waugh who won the seat with 13,047 votes. He had just won the seat in a February by-election. Galloway, a former Labour lawmaker, is known for his radical stance and longtime support for various terrorist organizations such as Hamas and Hezbollah. He was expelled from Labour in 2003.

LONDON — Populist lawmaker Nigel Farage on Friday won his first-ever seat in the U.K.'s parliament as he looks to shake up the country's politics with his right-wing Reform UK party. The win by the Brexit proponent follows seven failed attempts to become a member of the British parliament, although he has served as a (pro-Brexit) member of the European Parliament. "My plan is to build a mass national movement over the course of the next few years and hopefully be big enough to challenge the general election properly in 2029," Farage said after the result was announced. The result...

Donald Trump has congratulated Nigel Farage on his General Election win in Clacton [District]. The former US president, who has long supported Mr Farage’s political career, posted about the victory on his social media platform, Truth Social. “Congratulations to Nigel Farage on his big WIN of a Parliament Seat Amid Reform UK Election Success,” he said. “Nigel is a man who truly loves his country.”

@RaheemKassam EXCLUSIVE: Nigel Farage's first interview – with @RealAmVoice and @TheNatPulse – following his historic parliamentary victory in Clacton-on-Sea and the insurgency of his @reformparty_uk.

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage will be the MP for Clacton-on-Sea, the exit poll suggests. It is Mr Farage’s eighth attempt to become an MP having failed on each previous attempt. The exit poll predicts Reform UK have a likelihood of 99 per cent-plus to gain the seat in Essex. It comes as the exit poll suggests the Labour Party will sweep to power with a 410 seat election victory and a majority of 170, with Tory big beats including Jeremy Hunt, Grant Shapps and Penny Mordaunt set to lose their seats.
