👀 ‘One Reform insider said senior party figures now believe they could be heading to just 15 per cent in the polls as soon as next month based on their current trajectory.’

Conservatives list Labour-Green administrations in local government. Will the party now take action? They say they will....
Burnham says no deals with the Greens - has he forgotten about local government ⁉️
Sheffield: Two-party joint administration - Labour and Green Groups
Warwick: Green–Labour coalition; both parties hold cabinet positions
Lewes: Green–Labour Co-operative Alliance; current council records confirm both group leaders hold cabinet responsibilities
Havant: Labour-led coalition with Greens and Liberal Democrats
West Oxfordshire: Liberal Democrat-Labour-Green alliance, renewed in May 2026
North Somerset: Partnership of Liberal Democrats, Labour, Greens and independent groups
Rother: Independent–Labour–Liberal Democrat–Green alliance
Runnymede: Joint administration containing Labour, Greens, Liberal Democrats and residents/independents
West Suffolk: Labour, Liberal Democrats and Greens within the Progressive Alliance, governing in partnership with independents
Labour just don't get it.

Ukraine’s freedom is not President Trump’s to bargain away.
He is wrong to ease sanctions on Russian diesel, wrong to blame President Zelensky for prolonging Putin’s war, and wrong to undermine a nation fighting for its right to exist. Russia is the aggressor. Always has been. Reward Russia, and we should expect to see more aggression, including from other countries. We can also kiss goodbye to any just and lasting peace.
This is why Conservatives have stood with Ukraine against Putin. Ukraine’s future belongs to Ukrainians. They alone have the right to choose their president, and we stand with President Zelensky because he fights not for himself, but for the survival of his country and his people.

It is sickening that the USA is now lifting sanctions on Russian fuel, and transparently ridiculous to blame Ukraine for the spike in prices that obviously began with the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Putin is murdering innocent Ukrainian civilians every day. The Ukrainians are fighting for their lives. And yet the White House is apparently determined to force American drivers to bankroll Putin’s slaughter. It won’t work and I doubt it will make much difference to the price of fuel.
If we want Russian oil and gas back on the world market then let’s end this war - with a free, sovereign and independent Ukraine.

The strongest section of Kemi Badenoch's speech so far:
"To those who say “unite the right”... we are not uniting with THAT. I don’t want to live in a country run by people who threaten journalists, call veterans traitors and debate whether my mixed-race children are English.
"I don’t want to explain to my son, when we’re watching our brilliant England team play football, that some people don’t think our black players are English.
"I remember back in the day when Ian Wright and John Barnes were playing - nobody was questioning whether they were English. We certainly didn’t have sitting MPs questioning whether they were English.
"We must not let these people take us backwards. That is not the country we are. I don’t know whether you’ve noticed, but I am black. I am British. I’m proud of my country, I’m proud of our history."

Tories are the only electable party, claims billionaire donor who defected to Labour in 2024 - as he brands Burnham's policies 'piffle' trib.al/subCfZK

'There is little more dangerous to Britain’s prosperity than a Liberal Democrat MP.
'For all of the party’s moralistic grandstanding on the national stage about matters of climate change, diplomacy and, for some reason, Fifa, the party proves time and again it is little more than a cover for the selfish, the petty and the tragically short-sighted.'

Today underlines one of the big differences between Kemi Badenoch and her new Tory party and Nigel Farage and Reform. Badenoch's social care stance is "I'm wary, I have red-lines, but I'll engage". Farage, Jenrick et al is "Not interested. We'll oppose just for the sake of it".
