MATT GOODWIN: Exactly how Reform is plotting to take over Number 10 - and reshape our politics for ever

Daily Mail  

Imagine this: It’s May 2029 and Britain has just held a General Election. But having successfully predicted many events the Establishment dismissed as preposterous – from Brexit to both of Donald Trump’s presidencies – I think that Nigel Farage has every chance of pulling it off. From left, Nick Candy, Elon Musk and Nigel Farage in Florida this week I’m …

Will Nigel Farage be our next prime minister? It’s no longer fanciful to imagine Reform challenging – or even eclipsing – the Tories in next year’s local elections and then at the general election, which Sir Keir Starmer will presumably delay for as long as possible, unless he is first led away by men in white coats. Nigel Farage with …

Musk and Farage have handed Starmer a golden chance to clean up political murky money

The Independent  

The talks between Nigel Farage and Elon Musk at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida have highlighted the urgent need to reform the UK’s archaic rules on how political parties are funded. It would be unhealthy for the world’s richest man to provide a huge chunk of one party’s funds and even more unhealthy if that money is “foreign” because …

When it comes to immigration, Labour can only blame its inheritance from the Tories for so long

The Independent  

When Sir Keir Starmer unveiled six policy milestones in his “plan for change” this month, any targets to reduce legal and illegal migration were conspicuous by their absence. Successive prime ministers from David Cameron onwards promised to reduce legal migration, and Rishi Sunak impaled himself on a painful hook by pledging to “stop the boats” crossing the English Channel. The …

Building more houses is everyone’s favourite policy – until it comes to the question of where to build them. Today, she has issued a definitive version of the targets, greeted by a declaration of war from the Daily Telegraph: “Labour bid to ‘bulldoze’ the Home Counties.” Once upon a time, Labour could afford to be relaxed about a revolt of …

Conservative MPs are worried. They weren’t worried when Andrea Jenkyns, formerly one of their number, defected to Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party. They were properly spooked, however, by last week’s unsourced report that Elon Musk was considering a $100m donation to Farage – which prompted follow-up stories about how the American billionaire could get around the ban on foreign donations …

Daily Mail  

Sir Keir Starmer will today promise a named, contactable police officer for every neighbourhood in England and Wales as he delivers a 'reset' of his stumbling premiership. But the Tories accused Sir Keir of 'misleading' the public and claimed only a third of the 13,000 new recruits would actually be full police officers. Sir Keir Starmer will promise a named, …

The Labour Left is in revolt over what it regards as a 'political hit job' on former Transport Secretary Louise Haigh by allies of Sir Keir Starmer. It came as her supporters made the extraordinary claim that allies of Morgan McSweeney, Sir Keir's Chief of Staff, tried to 'take out' Ms Haigh during the General Election by using a secret …

Every administration in the democratic world to seek re-election in 2024 has failed – the first time this has happened, according to psephologists. On the downside, it’s becoming increasingly clear to people that the Budget measures are going to push prices higher than otherwise, and depress wages. The rise in employers’ national insurance contributions is going to be passed on …

Kemi Badenoch’s work-experience scheme was not a conspicuous success today. When Burghart returned for an unwise second go, she asked: “11.1 per cent or 3 per cent?” Given that the latest figure this morning for the main rate of inflation was 2.3 per cent, this only showed how much leeway the Labour government has on this issue. Burghart then tried …
