The government has announced plans to reform disability benefits. Whilst my fellow spokesperson on welfare might have some comments on the proposed move away from a fixed cash benefit system, I am in favour of the move away from over-medicalising milder mental health conditions. In my day-to-day frontline work, I see both sides of the spectrum.

Now that “Tricky Dicky” has gifted the leadership of Reform by way of a handshake not election, Nigel Farage has entered the political arena once again to take an opportunity which he believes is for the taking. Don't be fooled into thinking this is the end result either. With a history of deals and decisions which have let down candidates and voters before, this move may just be the first of many.

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.

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.

Pat BryantUK Independence Party Spokesman for Food and Rural Affairs If you like to wear wool, one of the most sustainable of fabrics, do you ever wonder why it is so expensive? Well, I have more questions than answers… Many farmers are just burning fleeces or giving them away to gardeners because the British Wool Board who buys them pay so little. A fleece shorn from a lowland sheep will weigh approximately 2kg and the average price paid to the farmer is 20p per kg.

Janice MackayUK Independence Party National Campaign Manager UK Independence Party would like to formally challenge the general perception presented by the mainstream media that Reform UK will be a threat to the Conservative Party at the forthcoming General Election. Reform UK is hanging on to Farage’s coat tails. By themselves they are a collection of “Johnny Come Latelies” to the patriotic cause. Where were they when the fight to leave the EU was at its most demanding?

Christmas is a time of year when we are supposed to commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ. Obviously, this simple message of Christianity is lost in the sea of commercialism and self-indulgence. The UK Independence Party is not a religious grouping in any format but recognize that the great history of our country is in no sense disconnected from the essential basic Christian faith of its inhabitants since the time of the Reformation.

Neil Hamilton Leader - UK Independence Party Traditionally, Christmas is the season of goodwill. But Christian charity is stretched to the limit when we look at the collection of incompetents, shysters and liars masquerading as Her Majesty's Government and Loyal Opposition. The Westminster political class has failed us at every level:* taxes higher than any time since 1949. * the national debt doubled since 2019 (it is now nearly 100% of national income).
