Sunak has only gone and done it; called a General Election which employs the only tactic he had left available to him – The element of surprise!Well we are all surprised that he and the men in “grey suits” have decided to make this play but let us quickly try and unpack his logic. The Tory High Command will believe this decision wrong foots both the Labour Party and Tice’s Reform company.

Patricia MountainUK Independence Party spokesman for Housing and Immigration We need to look at the facts; cold hard facts forget any discussion or arguments of race or ethnicity. No matter how you dress it up we do not have the facilities or services required to actually provide for UK Nationals and certainly no additional reserves to provide for the masses of people arriving here expecting their every need to be met. Most of these new arrivals are not genuine refugees.

Donald MacKayUK Independence Party Lead Spokesman for Scotland Perhaps it is in order amidst the recent pantomime in Edinburgh to comment that scarcely in the history of British politics has there been any individual less suited to the rigours of high office than the gentleman who has currently vacated the position with the grandiose title of "First Minister".

Last Thursday 6 March 2024, the Chancellor, Jeremy Hunt, presented the budget to the Commons. SummaryThe headlining NI reduction doesn’t give back enough money to cover the increased energy costs of the last 2 years, nor the rampant increase in food price inflation. Removing non-Dom status means they will be asked to pay UK tax on overseas earnings. This will cause an exodus in these investors, reducing revenue for the Treasury.

As UKIP’s Foreign Affairs Spokesman I am often asked about the Party’s current position on the Middle East crisis. On 7th October last year, Israel, an independent democratic state, suffered a cross border invasion from Gaza without warning. There were serious atrocities carried out and the invaders took back a large number of hostages, many of whom have still not been returned.

Steve UnwinSpokesman on Home Affairs, Political Reform and Local Government Since they rebranded in 2021, Reform UK have fought 18 Parliamentary by-elections and have achieved a miserable average vote share of just 3.8% (as of 21 February 2024). The combination of dropping out in “Conservative” seats on the eve of the 2019 General Election followed by rebranding from the Brexit Party has been a disastrous failure.

The latest report into police failures involving so-called “grooming gangs” reveals that our policing or political leaders have learned no lessons. The report focused on 111 Rochdale cases between 2004 and 2013 and stated that evidence of the repeated rape of young girls was never investigated. Furthermore, it identified 96 men who are still considered a risk to children in Rochdale. What is not addressed is the political policing that permits such terrible crimes to go unpunished.

Wednesday 3rd January marked the start of a new 6-day strike by the junior doctors in England over pay. The longest strike in history during a period of the year typically characterised by seasonal pressures of winter flu, holidays and staff absences due to sickness. I remind readers that junior doctors carried out strike action last month prior to Christmas, and also in March, April, June and July last year.
