Another day another round of awful news for Theresa May and a huge boost for Corbyn. The lead many, including a lot of his own MPs, assumed would be placed in the dust bin of history after an electoral disaster. Instead it is the other way around, and a new poll by Survation for Good Morning Britain, has indicated that Labour has overtaken the Tories as the most popular party in the UK. The poll gave the Labour party a three point...

As both Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn visited the devastating scene of the Grenfell Tower tragedy, the PM pledged a full public probe into the blaze that claimed many lives. As we reported yesterday there was a marked contrast between the Labour leader who spoke to survivors and members of the community, attended a church service and spent time listening to those affected and the Prime Minister who was criticised widely for not letting the public near her. She announced a...

A week after Theresa May suffered a heavy blow at the hands of the British electorate she may be about to suffer her biggest set back yet - after she was made odds-on leave Downing Street before Arsene Wenger exits Emirates. The Prime Minister has come under fire after last week’s general election saw the party lose their majority share of seats in parliament, and an online bookmaker thinks May will walk the plank before Arsenal’s long term gaffer does.   Arsene Wenger...

Well many Corbyn supporters and wider left-leaning voters are surprised/delighted that the Labour leader managed to make significant gains on the Conservative party. Theresa May could not secure a majority and recent polling has shown that Labour could indeed win an election if it was held now. It was such a dramatic turnaround but how did he manage it? This Channel 4 video is definitely worth a watch, to see how Corbyn came from nowhere and shook the electoral landscape...

Jeremy Corbyn tried to pass through a law that would required private landlords to make their homes safe and “fit for human habitation” last year - but it was rejected by the Conservatives. Labour proposed an amendment to the Government’s new Housing and Planning Bill – a raft of new laws aimed at reforming housing law - in January last year, but it was rejected by 312 votes to 219. Although the law doesn't directly pertain to the tower, it did highlight fundamental flaws...

GP Dr Louise Irvine who stood against Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt on a National Health Action Party platform has penned a blistering defence to the Conservative minister’s speech on election night which accused her of lying about his record and his motives as Secretary Of State for Health. (See video below.) Mr Hunt took to the stage after winning the South West Surrey seat and accused Dr Irvine, who has previously mounted legal challenges against his hospital cuts, of telling falsehoods during...

Well few people expected this, a triumphant return to the House of Commons after the election, everyone thought he would be crushed in. Ok, yes he didn't manage to secure the largest party, but some people were predicted the end of the Labour Party. Instead it looks like Theresa May's days are numbered. It has gone that far that even Corbyn's own MPs might start to support him. That is how crazy the election result was. Corbyn: “I’m sure she...

A Tory MP was caught ogling a picture of semi-naked showgirls in the House of Commons this afternoon. The backbencher was snapped by Anna Soubry in the first parliamentary sitting since last week's election, which saw the Conservatives lose their Parliamentary majority and Labour surge in the polls. She tweeted the picture with the caption "Is this the first Parliament where everyone thinks they're a winner when in fact we're all losers except the DUP". The biggest question in parliament today: What's...

Inflation shoots up to 2.9% in latest figures – highest since April 2012 The GMB says Theresa May and the Conservative’s economic credibility is in tatters as inflation shoots up to 2.9% - the highest level in five years – while living standards are in reverse. The union is calling on the Prime Minister’s minority Government to end the public sector pay pinch which artificially keeps public servants pay well below inflation. Public sector workers were already facing an average...
