By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor In 2015 there were 44,722,000 registered to vote down from 45,325,100 the previous year. The Office for National Statistics has shown that 603,000 less people are now able to vote in elections. This drastic reduction has led to claims that the Conservative party is trying to “rig the system.” The 1.3 per cent fall has come after a change in the way voters put themselves on the electoral register. Supporters of the shake-up have argued...
By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor The PM, a multi-millionaire who wear two grand suits, decided to mock Jeremy Corbyn's dress sense at PMQs. The outburst came as he was heckled by Labour MPs over what his mother would think about the NHS crisis. An angry Mr Cameron shot back: "Ask my mother? I think I know what my mother would say. “I think she would look across the despatch box and she would say 'Put on a proper suit, do...
By Ben Ramanauskas Islamic State, the jihadist group which has attempted to establish an islamic caliphate in the Middle East, is undoubtedly one of the most disgusting and disturbing groups ever to exist. They have enslaved, raped, tortured, murdered, and terrorised countless people. They abduct women and children, behead foreign hostages, throw homosexuals from towers, and crucify Christians. Their barbarity...
By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor Your mum jokes are funny, cruel, but funny, however when the two leaders of the main British political parties descend into a “your mum” slanging match during PMQs, you do wonder that it’s a matter of when, not if, the human race destroys itself. For once Corbyn showed some gumption and attacked the PM on the plight of the NHS and more specifically, junior doctors and their ongoing battle with Jeremy Hunt. It was fierce...
By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has just won in the US state of Nevada, and may well become President of the "free world," so before the human race dies out, within a month of his inauguration, let's try and enjoy the time we have left. It also looks like Trump has been watching comedy series Arrested Development, and has been using clip by Lindsay Bluth as the basis of his speeches to "build a wall,"...
By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor Tory MP Heidi Allen made an impassioned speech against her own party's plan to cut ESA (Employment and Support Allowance) by £30 a week to disabled people. She pleaded with her fellow MPs to "look after the little man," sadly they ignored her and voted to slash the benefit from £102.15 to £73.10 for sick and disabled people deemed fit for "work-related activity". Watch her speech here
This summer could well be the end of Boris Johnson. If Britain votes to stay in the EU and plans for Heathrow expansion get the go-ahead from the PM, there is arguably no way back for the Uxbridge and South Ruislip MP who has spent a large chunk of his political career campaigning against both issues. Earlier this week, Johnson’s father Stanley declared on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme that his son’s decision to back back British exit from the...
By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor Shockingly MPs have overturned a Lords decision to stop cuts to the Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) meaning disabled people will now be £30 a week worse off. It is hoped this cut would help people back into work, but it has even left some Tory backbenchers uneasy. The Government had previously been beaten by the Lords, over the reduction of the allowance for people in the work related activity group (WRAG), because they are...
