Jeremy Corbyn completely overshadowed acts such as Ed Sheeran and Thom Yorke's Radiohead as the most talked about act at Glastonbury. The Labour leader took to the Pyramid stage on Saturday afternoon with Glastonbury founder Michael Eavis CBE to rapturous reception. Chants of ‘Oh, Jeremy Corbyn’ rang around the prestigious fields, echoing previous concerts the Labour leader has spoken at. And despite some of the World's biggest bands performing at the festival, it seems Corbyn has taken the spoils for the most talked about act. Surprising...

Jeremy Corbyn said he'll be prime minister in six months and will start trying to get rid of Britain's Trident nuclear deterrent as soon as he can - according to Michael Eavis. The Glastonbury Festival founder said Corbyn was fantastic, but also said the Momenentum movement that backs the Labour leader should have done more to get young people to vote in the EU referendum. In a wide-ranging Q&A on Sunday at Speakers Forum in the Green Futures area of...

Corbyn fans are in dreamland at the moment. Labour were recently ahead in the polls and now the leader himself is more popular than May, when it comes to leading the country. The Labour leader will be making an appearance at Glastonbury, which is likely to draw huge crowds. It is doubtful whether many people would turn up to listen to any other major political figure speak. In a YouGov poll for the Times Corbyn has edged past Theresa May,...

A new undercover investigation has revealed that the Conservative Party may have broken election and data protection rules, urging people to vote for Theresa May under the guise of a phone poll.

Speaking at a news conference in Brussels, Mr Tusk said the EU is "slowly turning the corner". "We are witnessing the return of the EU rather as a solution, not a problem." He continued: "The Brexit negotiations started three days ago. It is a most difficult process, for which the EU is well prepared. "You can hear different predictions coming from different people about the possible outcome of these negotiations - hard Brexit, soft Brexit or no deal. "Some of...

The Tory Government, as was, has been dealt another huge blow as the High Court judged that it’s benefit cap is illegal and unfairly discriminates against single parents who have young children. This will cause the Conservative Party even more headaches and will probably force, another, u-turn of Government policy. The cap limited the total benefit a household could receive to £20k and up to £23k in the capital. The case was bravely brought by four lone parents who believed...

After weeks of campaigning, deliberating and debating, the June 8th General Election didn’t quite end as Theresa May had thought it would. With there being a sense of uncertainty looming over the newly hung parliament, Wirehouse take a look at how the election results will affect SME’s and UK businesses. The Election Results It was an election of historical firsts with the first female, Sikh candidate being elected as MP for Birmingham Edgbaston, but all eyes were firmly on Theresa...

Today's Queen’s Speech was stripped of so many of Theresa May’s unpopular manifesto promises such as winter fuel allowance cuts that it seemed Her Majesty couldn’t be bothered to put her customary regal crown and furs on to get down to business but appeared in a powder blue outfit fit for her dash to catch the 2.30pm first race at Royal Ascot, more importantly. Instead of their vote losing and controversial manifesto commitments, Conservatives were briefing that they would seek policies...

Theresa May’s “coalition of chaos” looked in real trouble today on the eve of the Queen’s speech with the support of the Democratic Unionist Party looking in doubt today - ten days after she announced a vote support deal had been agreed. The day after Brexit talks began, Theresa May faces any chance of a Westminster majority crumbling as DUP sources told Sky News that talks "haven't proceeded in a way that DUP would have expected." The Queen will speak in the...
