Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood’s proposed asylum reforms received high praise from Reform leader Nigel Farage and notorious far-right activist Tommy Robinson.

It often seems that the next general election is a matter of months away, with seemingly no escape from Nigel Farage’s 24/7 media coverage and gleeful references to Keir Starmer and Labour’s abysmal polling. Elon Musk continues to interfere with UK politics, most recently by appearing via video link at the ‘Unite the Kingdom’ march and proclaiming that parliament must be dissolved . Meanwhile, Starmer's government endured a late-summer of internal crises  and the Prime Minist
