During yesterday’s PMQs the PM declared there is no way she would call for a second referendum on Brexit. The UK has made its decision. However, new polling figures suggest the nation has changed its voting intentions, with Remain winning by a huge margin. The findings were published in an academic-led report by research bodies NatCen and The UK in a Changing Europe. 2,048 subjects were interviewed between June 7 and July 8. Polling expert, John Curtice, authored the findings,...

The two leaders were probably relieved to get back to arguing with each other, as it is a lot easier than with their own parties. Corbyn and May probably have more in common these days then they would ever let on. The anti-semitism issue was raised by May, which Corbyn tackled head on, then, inevitably, the rest of the session focused on Brexit. Corbyn said that there are rumours a chance of a no-deal Brexit is 60/40. May said she...

In 2013 Boris advised fellow ministers to stop blaming Brussels for all our problems.

Average household income has fallen short of spending in every quarter since May became Prime Minister, new research has found. The TUC study reveals that households have been pushed £1,250 into the red during her time in charge. In every quarter since May's arrival in Downing Street (2016 Q4 to 2018 Q1), families’ outgoings have outstripped their incomes – resulting in a total deficit of £34 billion. As she took office, May promised to support “just about managing” families. But...

Ukip leader Gerard Batten has appealed to potential army recruits to wait until Britain has left the European Union to join the services.  The recently-appointed leader issued a bizarre statement today saying British soldiers are "no longer fighting for Queen and Country but under a foreign military command".  He said "no one should now join the British Army until we have left the EU", citing Theresa May's apparent intentions to tie us into the EU's military ambitions.  Read the statement in...

The British electoral map would be bathed in a red hue if only 18-24 year-olds were allowed to vote, new research has revealed. According to polling data carried out between 28th and 29th August 2018 Labour would take a massive 600 seats from the youngest voters if there was a General Election tomorrow. The Conservatives would be left without any seats with the Liberal Democrats taking 21, the SNP taking nine seats and the Greens hanging on to their single...

Frank Field has said he will not trigger a byelection and will "fight any attempt at expelling me in every way I can" from the Labour Party. Field recently resigned the party whip claiming the party was suffering from bullying and also that antisemitism was rife. The Birkenhead MP said he would fight any attempt to expel him from the Labour party. He said “I now have what may become a major legal dispute with the Labour party over my continuing...

With parliament about to restart and Boris Johnson’s blonde ambition clearly irking since he had to resign as Foreign Secretary, today’s Telegraph carries a striking portrait photo and a warning to Theresa May that her Brexit plan would spell “victory for Brussels.” “We have gone into battle waving the white flag,” despaired the ex-Foreign Sec in what much of Westminster wrote off as another cynical attempt at a leadership bid. BoJo bemoaned that the impossible Irish border situation / customs...

Brexit could see Scotland edge towards independence and Northern Ireland close on reunification with Ireland, a new poll has revealed. Just 43 per cent of Scottish voters said they would vote for Scotland to remain part of Britain after Brexit, according to a study by Best for Britain and Our Future Our Choice. The research showed Brexit is also harming support for the union in Northern Ireland, where a majority would back a united Ireland.  Only 39 percent would vote...
