Today marks 82 years since D-Day.
We honour the extraordinary courage of the British and Allied forces who landed on the beaches of Normandy.
Their service, sacrifice and bravery secured the freedoms we cherish today.
We will never forget them.
It's not just the exploitation of a tragedy.
JD Vance's picture of Britain - where migrants have led to a crime surge - is the opposite of the truth.

🚨 MELTING TICE 🚨
Tice’s appearance on Bloomberg’s Zero podcast was a car crash. Reform UK’s "energy spokesman" dismissed batteries as “ridiculous”, claimed “thousands” of scientists reject climate science, yet failed to name any. He even threatened to walk out when confronted with IPCC evidence.
With Reform opposing wind, solar and batteries, his answer to the energy crisis is simply: “drill, drill, frack Lincolnshire.

#ReformUK’s Robert Kenyon on #BBCQT when asked how they’d actually recruit 30,000 new police officers:
“That’s a problem for whoever is recruiting them.”
The audience straight-up laughed in his face.
This is the “serious” alternative to career politicians? Absolute car crash. All slogans, zero clue. 🤡😂
The Electoral Commission has published Q1 2026 donation figures. Reform UK raised £9.36 million. From 31 donors.
For context, the Conservatives raised £6 million from 174 donors. Labour raised £4.1 million from 119 donors. The Liberal Democrats raised £2.95 million from 318 donors.
Reform's average donation: over £300,000. Labour's average donation: £34,000.
Two donors account for £7 million of Reform's £9.36 million total.
Ben Delo, co-founder of crypto exchange BitMEX, confirmed in a Telegraph opinion piece that he donated £4 million to Reform since the start of 2026 to help build it into "a genuine alternative party of government."
Christopher Harborne, a British national living in Thailand with links to crypto infrastructure companies Tether and Bitfinex, donated a further £3 million in March 2026. His total lifetime donations to Reform now exceed £22 million, roughly two-thirds of every pound the party has ever raised.
Harborne's £9 million donation in 2025 was the largest single political donation ever made by a living person to a UK political party. The Electoral Commission and the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards are both currently investigating whether Farage declared a gift from Harborne. He did not disclose it at the time.
The government introduced an immediate moratorium on crypto donations on 25 March 2026. A new £100,000 annual cap on overseas donors reduces Harborne's permissible future donations by more than 99%.
At PMQs yesterday, the Prime Minister said: "The £5 million question should be why Nigel Farage didn't declare his own donations."
This is the party that campaigns daily on accountability and transparency.

Smashed car windows. Bricks littering the streets. Families left clearing up the mess after a night of chaos in Southampton.
This wasn't done in Henry Nowak's name. Associating this destruction with Henry or his family's memory is an insult.
This was the work of Farage and his mob of thugs who seized the chance to riot while pretending to be the victims.
Southampton
11 Police Officer injured
1 Police Dog injured
The racists own this
The agitators own this
Farage owns this
The disrespect for the family is sickening from all involved all for personal grift and gain
"Farage says: we wouldn't want the violence to get worse would we?
"Well maybe he would - maybe that's exactly what he's saying."
Watch as MPs boo Nigel Farage in the Commons after he's accused of exploiting Henry Nowak's murder for political gain.
“His response has been to appeal for rage. That’s his response to a father who has lost his son and asked for that not to happen. Exploiting this tragedy to create grievance and division would be wrong in any circumstances but to do it when the family are expressly saying please don’t is unforgivable. It shows exactly who he is”
Keir Starmer responds to Nigel Farage at #PMQs
NO he won’t be “out in just over 20 years” - that’s the minimum term before he can apply for parole
N0 he didn’t get a lighter sentence because of the knife - he has deliberately cut out the bit that says he got a LONGER sentence
If he was still a solicitor he’d get struck off
Within DAYS of taking office, Andy Burnham commissioned an inquiry into grooming gangs that:
- vindicated the whistleblowers
- exposed institutional cover-ups,
- and led to arrests and convictions of perpetrators who would otherwise have walked free.
The Raise the Flags Shrewsbury PLUS so-called ‘Peaceful Walk’, quite a gathering.
Ryan Ferguson – has an unsavoury history of football banning orders and prison terms (Liverpool Echo)
Ben Cullen – has previous convictions for weapons and violence, including possession of a firearm (Oxford Mail)
Ryan Bridge – Supreme Leader of Flag Shaggers, AKA Raise the Colours, on bail for various offences including racially aggravated harassment and GBH with intent (Hope Not Hate)
Cullen demanding the clip not be shared and Bridge in his usual whiny voice believing he has police powers of dispersal, as he throws personal insults at the person filming.
They don't like being seen together do they?

The Observer this morning reports a £2.8m unexplained gap in the Brexit Party's 2019 accounts and £7.8m in "other expenditure" with no breakdown. Professor Sam Power calls it "a black hole." The same pattern appears in Reform's 2024 accounts. Richard Tice lent his own party £1.4m through a private investment company. The accounts don't name him. Right of reply was sent to Tice, Reform UK and their auditors CK Partnership. None responded. FOI 046-26 to the Electoral Commission is outstanding. The thread runs from 2019 to now.

Great reporting from #Makerfield - Labour's natural support base is changing from estates to newbuilds but @AndyBurnhamGM is building a coalition that can win. The whole party needs to learn from this.. https://t.co/EJCJuRg03b via @LabourHub
