Donald Trump would get absolutely pummelled in the polls if it was up to Brits. The outspoken Republican would garner just 11 per cent of the votes with Hilary Clinton romping home with a 58 per cent share. Clinton is way ahead of Trump in Aberdeen, Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Glasgow, London and Newcastle when it comes to bets placed, with only Leeds, Liverpool and Manchester are putting more dosh on Donald. TheNominant.com survey also confirmed that the Democratic candidate would...

LBC presenter James O'Brien laid into the Leave supporters regarding the Brexit High Court ruling. He said to Leave voters: 'If you think you voted in possession of truth, honesty and facts then you're a banana.' O'Brien is one of the most outspoken media figures against Brexit and the misinformation that led the UK to vote to leave the EU. After the front pages of the right-wing press this morning, you have to wonder how many would count James as an...

Before I proceed I’ll quickly give you May’s Brexit update, from any referendum related questions she faced, during today’s session, drum roll please…she will be getting the best deal for the UK in the upcoming negotiations. Now we can all breathe a sigh of relief. There was also a misunderstanding about who had given birth to a baby, and that appeared to be the funniest thing since A Fish Called Wanda was released. If you want any more information on...

Pensioners from the National Pensioners Convention protested outside Westminster today demanding the retention of the "triple lock" guarantee on state pension rises and warning against cuts in social care. Former Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith recently said that the “triple lock” safeguard, which prevents pensions from falling in value, should be scrapped to help ease cuts to working age benefits. He said it was important to cut the safeguard in order to tackle the “misbalance between the generations” by reining...

Gary Lineker spoke out for child refugees, Arsenal donated £1 from every ticket for last season's game against Stoke City to aid efforts and now QPR have made a pledge to help the most needy. The club have offered to send a fleet of coaches to help bring around a thousand child refugees into UK from Calais, where the infamous Jungle camp is being demolished by French authorities. The Championship side want to rescue children who have been identified as...

Has Ken Loach changed the government's mind with I, Daniel Blake, the Big Issue questioned following the hard-hitting film's release at the end of last month. As cinema audiences sobbed at the barefaced reality of the desperate situation you certainly would have thought so, but the latest figures are far less encouraging. New research has found that the lowering of the benefit cap by as much as £6,000 a year from next week will throw some 300,000 children closer to...

The man introduced the natural world to virtually everyone in the UK has spoken out against Brexit and the decisions of senior Tories, including the ex-PM David Cameron, which led the vote to leave the EU. The 90-year-old presenter believes that the decision to abandon Parliamentary democracy in favour of a referendum has left the UK in an awful state. His comments were immediately attacked by right-wing news outlets who have put him in the same box as Gary Lineker,...

It sometimes appears that Mhairi Black is taking on the Tories single handedly. The young SNP MP has made many moving speeches to the House, hoping to improve the lives of the poorest in society. This time she urged all Conservative MPs to watch Ken Loach's new film I, Daniel Blake. She is doubtful they will, but she urges then to see it and to understand the lives of the poorest in society. She savages HMRC, The Tories and Concentrix...

We all know Trump supporters hate Mrs Clinton and there have been accusations she is a drug user, terminally ill and a number of other wild conspiracy theories. However a new poll has found that 40 per cent of Trump fans actually think Clinton is an actual demon. It is Halloween so I guess that’s apt and terrifying. The poll also found that 84 per cent of his supporters think Clinton should be in jail, which if I’m honest was...
