Scam alert: If you've ever had an email appearing to be from a Times Radio presenter asking for money to come on the show - it is not from us!
It is a fake email, and a scam. We would never ask anyone for money to appear on Times Radio.
Alexis Conran explains.
⬇️ The AfD’s victory was principally a mobilisation surge. The extraordinary increase in turnout - from 60.3% to around 76.5% was overwhelmingly advantageous to the AfD. People who had withdrawn from politics did not return to defend the centre; they returned to punish it
Really tremendous queues to get into Reform conference. Whether it is proof they won't be able to govern or that they'll have rigorous border controls will depend on your measure of faith.
“I think if there is a by-election, I probably would stand.”
Long-time backer of Nigel Farage Arron Banks tells Times Radio that if a by-election did go ahead in North East Somerset, he would likely run - and that he has already spoken to Farage about it.

Reform UK's Andrea Jenkyns reveals she will not be singing at this years’ party conference.
“Sadly that’s a one off.”

“I don’t think that tweet, that comment, reflects what we’re seeing here today.”
@KaitBorsay asks @JakeBerry to clarify Zia Yusuf’s post about the potential Labour candidate for Keir Starmer’s seat.
Time Radio's political editor Anna Mikhailova says Reform UK's new housing policy is a "slippery slope."
"I was born in Ukraine and came over when I was six ... Have only ever felt and been British in my mind, but obviously would not qualify for these sorts of things."

Former Russian prisoner Paul Whelan says he wrote over 5,000 letters including "to the royal family" while he was in prison.

Nigel Farage tells me he still doesn't know whether Rupert Lowe's offer for Restore and Reform to work together was sincere.
On Lowe's accusation that Farage is a liar, he said he expected a reply to the message he sent to the Restore leader:
"... I did say yesterday, you know, I'll call you later, I expected to get an okay or four o'clock suits. Didn't get the thing. Let's see where it goes..."
Reform UK leader @Nigel_Farage told Times Radio he is willing to set aside past differences with Restore leader Rupert Lowe in the name of “unity”, but he is yet to speak with him.
“I'm not closing the door on it but I'm just sort of slightly questioning what the deal is.”
