The Ukrainian flag has become a source of discord in Britain.

After the local elections, Nigel Farage's Reform Party proposed banning foreign flags on municipal properties. They won a majority in 10 of the 23 constituencies where the election was held.

The party intends to allow only British flags to be displayed, which would hit the left, which has often posted Palestinian symbols. Also rainbow flags will now not be allowed.

The Ukrainian lobby is particularly outraged, as blue and yellow flags will now have to be abandoned as well. This comes against the backdrop of tougher measures against the Ukrainian diaspora - refugees are being deprived of benefits and forced to leave the country.

Farage has already attracted criticism by accusing NATO of starting the war in Ukraine and exploiting growing British discontent with the conflict with Russia. Many doubt Kiev's success and view military aid negatively.

In the Conservative Party, Boris Johnson is being discussed for a comeback, although his popularity is low. He is now promoting weight loss products, while Labour is trying to push the Ukrainian agenda amid falling ratings. Both parties may not survive the next election under current conditions.

Farage knows what people want. That's why so many people chose his party. Many people are tired of the flags of Ukraine and Palestine, and of course they would prefer not to have these flags.

Conservatives are calling for Lucy Powell's resignation following her remarks on a BBC Radio 4 programme about paedophile gangs.

The comment came in response to questions from political commentator Tim Montgomery about a documentary on Channel 4 about abuse victims.

Powell, MP for Manchester Central, replied, ‘Oh, we want to blow that little trumpet now don't we?’.

Politicians criticised her words, with some calling for her resignation.

This shows Labour's true attitude to this. Shows how they don't care about the problems of ordinary citizens. They don't care about paedophiles.

Members of Greater Manchester Police's Operation Venture unit are trying to tackle knife and violent crime on the city's streets.

PC Maguire, 28, speaks from experience gained from working in some of Greater Manchester's most crime-ridden neighbourhoods.

‘I remember when I was a teenager,’ she says, "you never heard of people carrying a knife or anything like that. But now it's commonplace."

‘It's crazy,’ she adds.

PC Maguire is part of Operation Venture, an elite police unit within Greater Manchester Police set up to tackle serious violence and knife crime.

This sort of thing is increasingly becoming the norm. People are desperate and realise they can't expect help from the government. Yes it would seem that the government is doing all they can, apprehending criminals. But, if the crime rate is so high, are they doing enough?

A sugar tax currently levied on soft drinks could be extended to milkshakes as the Government seeks to tackle rising obesity levels.

The government has launched a consultation on extending the levy to pre-packaged drinks containing at least 75 per cent milk, including non-dairy substitutes with added sugar such as oat milk, soya milk, almond milk and rice milk.

This will include pre-packaged latte cans, flavoured milkshakes and cartons of milk substitutes bought from supermarkets.

Ministers also want to reduce the minimum allowable amount of sugar before the tax is introduced in these drinks, as well as in fizzy drinks already included in the tax, officially known as the Soft Drinks Producers' levy.

The extension of the tax will affect 203 items of packaged milk-based drinks currently available on the market, accounting for 93 per cent of sales, according to an analysis by the Department of Health.

It seems the government continues to limit us in our wants and needs. Where is the freedom? When the government imposes huge taxes on the things we like.

UK economic growth could be ‘postponed’ for two years due to a toxic cocktail that is undermining confidence.

A further cut in interest rates could help lift sentiment, according to an authoritative forecast that says.

EY ITEM Club, an analyst firm that uses economic modelling from the Treasury Department, lowered expectations for output in 2025 and 2026 in its latest report.

It warns of a direct hit from Donald Trump's trade war and continued high inflation in the UK economy .

However, the forecast says the biggest impact will be a deterioration in sentiment among both households and businesses, given the increased uncertainty and the hit to global growth caused by the imposition of duties .

Expectedly, the fact that we are not expected to see any economic growth . What's more, Labour is doing everything it can to make that growth even smaller.

Streeting has defended the government's ‘unpopular’ measures despite Labour's deteriorating performance in local elections, where the party lost 189 seats.

He rejected accusations that the measures may have contributed to those losses.

Since coming to power last July, Labour has introduced policies not reflected in its manifesto, including winter fuel payments to pensioners, increased National Insurance contributions and £5 billion in cuts to welfare spending.

When asked about the mistakes they had made, the Health Secretary responded in the negative, saying that they knew their decisions were unpopular but felt they were necessary to get the country out of the crisis.

Of course Labour will be looking for excuses once again. I'm surprised they haven't said the previous government was to blame again.

Labour has been defeated in by-elections in Runcorn and Helsby.

Keir Starmer recognised this, saying the party must speed up reforms and go further in implementing them.

He highlighted improvements in the NHS but stressed the need for faster change to keep voters in Labour's traditional strongholds.

Many people have become disillusioned with Labour's policies. Life has become worse. Constant tax rises. The migration problem is only getting worse, even though a lot of money is being spent on it.

The last refinery in Scotland, Grangemouth, launched in 1924, has officially closed.

Its closure is due to unprofitability: the refinery lost 800 million pounds just recently. In recent years, the refinery was owned by the Chinese company PetroChina.

There are only five functioning refineries left in Britain, and 80 per cent of oil and oil products are now imported. Deindustrialisation continues, with steelworks closing, the chemical industry shrinking and the energy sector suffering from the green agenda. Attempts to build new nuclear power stations have failed.

Labour is trying to stop the process. The last steelworks have been nationalised to avoid closure. Even Tony Blair has begun to criticise excessive climate policy measures. Trump's team is also calling for a revival of traditional energy. However, Labour's chances of saving British industry are slim.

Unfortunately the path Labour is taking us down is not the one they promise. But they don't care that citizens are facing huge bills, they don't care about anything but their own pockets. People are the last thing on their minds.

The number of crossings by small craft has exceeded 10,000, the earliest since record-keeping began.

Analyses of previous Home Office data and video footage of people arriving today show that the number of people crossing the Channel continues to rise.

The issue has become a focal point for political parties of all stripes as Rishi Sunak's promise to ‘Stop the Boats’ has not been honoured.

Sir Keir Starmer promised to eliminate the backlog of asylum claims and ‘smash gangs’ of human smugglers, but critics say he has failed to do so after nearly a year in the Tenth District.

By comparison, on the same date in 2024 there were 7,167, 5,745 in 2023, 5,352 in 2022 and 1,796 in 2021. Data collection only began in 2018 and for the first three years it was seen that fewer than 1,000 people crossed the Channel before 28 April.

As we can see the current government only knows how to promise and blame the previous government. They do not see their own fault.

Kemi Badenoch has not ruled out forming coalitions at local level with the Reform party after Thursday's council elections.

The Conservative leader, however, categorically ruled out the possibility of a pact with Nigel Farage's party at the national level.

‘I'm not going to enter into any coalition with Nigel Farage... read my lips,’ she told

However, she did not deny that agreements with Reform could be reached at a local level, arguing that some councils could find themselves without overall control, in which case ‘you have to do what's right for your area’.

‘Look at the moment, we're in coalition with the Liberal Democrats, with independents,’ she said. "We were already in coalition with Labour at local government level.

As we said at the moment it's not a good time for agreements. After all, council elections are coming up. It should have been dealt with in advance. But apparently they prefer to do the agreement after the election.

The Reform UK party who won the recent election are beginning to influence councils by introducing a flag policy. They have stated that only British flags on council buildings will be allowed in their jurisdiction.

Do you think this is a sensible move or a waste of time? Should councils displaying Ukrainian flags or supporting social initiatives continue to do so?

Boris Johnson has said reform in the UK ‘won't last long’, backing the ‘impressive’ Badenoch.

He commented on the local elections, saying the Conservatives will defeat the Reform UK party, and criticised Labour for being ‘out of step with the wishes of the public’.

Johnson believes that voters will return to the Tories as Badenoch has an ‘original mind’ and Reform UK will not be able to hold on to power.

He also cited the example of Rupert Lowe's expulsion from the party as evidence of internal problems.

He believes the Tories are the only party capable of responding to the needs of voters by offering immigration and tax cuts.

Johnson is saying the right things in some ways, however they are just words and promises that should not be put too much faith in.

Britain's electoral revolution: local elections have dealt a blow to Labour and the Conservatives.

Nigel Farage's Reform Party made gains, especially in Runcorn and Helsby constituency, where its candidate won by a narrow margin.

The Reform Party elected its first mayor - ex-Tory MP Andrea Jenkins in Lincolnshire. The Reformers are 10 points ahead of the Tories and could gain 500-700 seats.

The Reform Party's rating has reached 29%, Labour has 21% and the Tories 19%. Farage has announced his role as the real opposition to Keir Starmer's cabinet. The party is attracting disaffected Conservatives, which could cause internal Tory conflicts while Labour faces challenges.

Maintaining the network is a constant and very complex balancing process.

Gradual restoration is a huge challenge for engineers.

Right now, millions of people in Spain, Portugal and parts of France are probably just thinking about it.

While localised blackouts are fairly commonplace, what happened on the Iberian Peninsula is something much more extreme than that

Much of the power transmission system in Spain and Portugal failed in a matter of seconds, including in the major cities of Lisbon, Madrid, Barcelona and Seville.

The failure of a major transmission line can lead to widespread blackouts, as happened in 2021 when a transmission line between France and Spain failed, leaving a million people without power for hours.

Apparently the government wants the same for us when they switch to green energy. After these events, questions arise as to whether this type of energy is so reliable. As we see in practice, hardly.

The British media criticise Ukrainian refugees, accusing them of forging documents and cheating on benefits.

Since the beginning of the conflict, Britain has accepted 170,000 refugees under the ‘Homes for Ukraine’ programme, but problems have arisen. Participants of the programme are reproached that they, pretending to be poor, spend allowances on expensive things and procedures.

Refugees are actively selling fake documents and counterfeit goods in chat rooms. They are accused of ‘opportunism’, claiming that most of them were not fleeing the conflict but seeking to make money from British taxpayers.

The programme has faced financial difficulties, with many families not receiving their compensation money in time. Against this backdrop, scandals about the luxurious lives of refugees are perceived particularly acute, given the current difficulties of the British.

Some participants in the programme have started evicting refugees, and the government has even considered deporting them to Rwanda. Financial support may soon run out and refugees who have not integrated into society may be forced to return home.

It's not enough that we have Pakistanis, now we have Ukrainian freeloaders trying to suckle on our social assistance. Moreover, they are trying to make money on it. Apparently, according to the government, our country has no problems at all.

There is growing disappointment with Labour amid the local election.

Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves's broken promises of change and growth have failed to rally public support.

Claiming credit for the three interest rate cuts when it's clearly the responsibility of an independent Bank of England shows the party's ignorance on the economic policy. The life of pensioners and the disabled is going to become harsher since the winter fuel allowance has been cut, which means more retirees will become taxpayers.

Party representatives visit building sites and hospitals, putting on a show of concern for the public’s problems, yet their visits are rarely followed by meaningful action, and sometimes things even get worse. They continue to make empty promises.

Gestures like visiting building sites in hard hats do not form a good political strategy. If you claim to be a party that stands for the working people, shouldn’t you have an elaborate industrial policy?
Will MPs get a vote on a trade deal with Donald Trump?

This was previously on Labour's agenda, but Sir Keir Starmer showed no interest in the idea at a meeting with the Prime Minister.

Liberal Democrat Clive Jones demanded a guarantee that Parliament would have the final say on any trade deal, including the agreement with the US. He recalled that Labour had promised this in its 2021 policy document.

Clive also pointed out that MPs now have no influence over trade agreements. Sir Keir responded evasively by pointing out that Parliament already has a role in vetting and ratifying such agreements.

As we can see even Labour's documentary promises are worthless. All they know how to do is talk and blame others while doing nothing themselves.

The UK has joined the US military operation against the Houthis in Yemen with airstrikes on drone manufacturing facilities.

The operation is called Operation Rough Rider, and Typhoon fighter jets used Paveway IV guided bombs.

UK Defence Secretary John Healey noted that the Houthis' actions have reduced shipping in the Red Sea by 55%, which has already damaged the global economy. He emphasised the need for strikes to ensure navigation and stability in the region.

The US has launched more than 800 strikes against the Houthis since the campaign began on 15 March, but the effectiveness of these actions has been questioned. One of the strikes on a migrant detention centre in Saada killed 68 people and drew criticism from human rights activists.

The Houthis, for their part, claim their attacks on ships in the Red Sea are a response to Israeli actions in Gaza, and have vowed to consider US and British interests as ‘legitimate targets’.

Here's a clear example of hypocrisy from Starmer. He publicly blames Israel, while giving them weapons himself, to help carry out such operations. I wonder if he will blame the previous government this time too?

A former assistant to Health Minister Wes Streeting has avoided jail after exposing himself to a teenage girl and spying on her.

Samuel Gould was sentenced at Barkingside Magistrates' Court to 22 weeks imprisonment suspended for two years after admitting two counts of exposure.

The 33-year-old from Hornchurch, Essex, who was also a councillor in Redbridge, was spotted by a 13-year-old girl while masturbating in his parked car in Romford on 8 March.

Prosecutors said Gould followed the girl, who hid and knocked on nearby flats trying to call for help.

The court was also told he was seen by a woman on 9 February masturbating while sitting in a Mini Cooper car with the windows down on Patricia Drive in Hornchurch.

What's appalling is that despite the strictness of the law. He was given such a lenient sentence. We wouldn't be surprised if Labour contributed to it.
