Jeremy Corbyn says the Conservatives "don't want you to vote" in the upcoming elections after the party refrained from posting anything about the looming deadline for registrations. You are required to register by 17 April to vote in the local and mayoral elections in England on 3 May, but the Tories have yet to send out any reminders about the cut-off. That's in stark contrast to the elections in 2016, when they sent out a prominent warning on their Facebook...

Labour MP David Lammy poured scorn on the Conservative Party in the House of Commons today, describing their "small U-turn" on the Windrush generation as a "day of national shame". Speaking after Amber Rudd announced that a new task force would be set up to help Commonwealth immigrants facing deportation he said the government should "guarantee the status of all the Windrush children caught up in this crisis". The Tottenham MP said it was a "national shame" that it had taken so...

  An elderly couple have received a letter from Theresa May asking for their support in the upcoming local elections addressed “Dear Mr Fuckingjoking." Their neighbour posted it on social media, along with the enclosed form asking for a donation to the Conservative Party that she says accompanied the rude missive. “Trying to argue they can run the country when they can’t even work mail merge,” said Laura McCormack, adding, “my elderly neighbours were more than a little upset to be...

Plans for a Brexit Museum have been embraced by prominent Leave politicians, with calls for it to be built "big enough to include the iconic red Brexit bus". The first steps towards the creation of the so-called "Museum of Sovereignty" were announced yesterday as Eurosceptics began assembling the memorabilia, texts of speeches and newspaper cuttings that tell the story of Britain’s "tumultuous 45-year journey to leaving the EU". The museum will celebrate Eurosceptic heroes who challenged Britain’s EU membership, from Labour...

The Grenfell Tower tragedy shocked the nation, and a full enquiry is underway. But, if lessons from the Lakanal Tower block fire in Camberwell in 2009 didn’t effect change, what hope can we have that Grenfell will? Are the lessons from social housing tower block fire tragedies being ignored? Many aren’t convinced that lessons have been learned, and confidence in the Grenfell Inquiry amongst the surviving local community is at an all-time low. Musician, and Grime star, Stormzy brought renewed...

Donald Trump issued a provocative tweet this morning telling Russia to get ready for US missiles just hours after Moscow's UN envoy Vasily Nebenzia warned the US against military action. The US President tweeted: "Russia vows to shoot down any and all missiles fired at Syria. "Get ready Russia, because they will be coming, nice and new and “smart!” You shouldn’t be partners with a Gas Killing Animal who kills his people and enjoys it!" His tough rhetoric comes as Western leaders agree...

The threat of another terrorist attack in London is very real. In March and June last year, Islamic extremists snuck under the counter-terrorism radar to commit two deadly terror attacks. They ended London’s status as having escaped the recent Islamic terrorist focus on attacks in Europe. Today the UK’s capital remains a prominent target for terror. The terror threat level as assessed by MI5 is severe. So the question on everyone’s minds – is London prepared for further potential terrorist...
