The single biggest thing that happened over the last Parliament was the Covid crisis. It had an immeasurable impact on our economy and society. And Labour’s record in that period, especially during 2021, was appalling. Indeed it was sufficiently bad that at the time many people said Starmer’s errors ruled him out of any possible future as Prime Minister.
France is one step closer to a far-right government following National Rally's success in the first round of elections – but what does this mean for the UK?
The MSNBC host revealed how the former president's case could be back in court sooner than anyone realizes.

Boris Johnson made his first appearance as part of the 2024 General Election campaign but was criticised by some political commentators.
Laurence Tribe explained what the Supreme Court decision means in "practical purposes" and it's "devastating."
They were "shocked" and felt "they had not been told the truth," said Axios' Alex Thompson.
Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez suggested that desperate times call for desperate measures, as she looks to stop the Supreme Court from continuing what she views as an "assault on democracy"
Kyiv has been told that, before it can join Nato, it must fix its problems with corruption. These are very real: the latest Corruption Perceptions Index ranks Ukraine below Belarus and Kazakhstan.

I’ve said it before, and will doubtless have cause to say it again: Boris Johnson might be the single most effective political illusionist this country has ever seen.

Women’s rights have figured far more prominently in this election campaign than Labour would have liked. Now, in what should cause considerable alarm, the issue seems to be gathering momentum, with rumours swirling that Harriet Harman, who is retiring as an MP, is set to be appointed as the new chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC).
Possibly not the best move from the richest PM the UK's ever had.

Labour has sold itself to British voters as the party of wealth creation and growth. And now we know why.

The ridiculous claim that Donald Trump won the 2020 US presidential election was the first big lie to infect its politics. Now Joe Biden has presented Democrats with a big lie of his own. There are plenty of Americans who would rather vote for a dead Biden than a live Trump, but not enough to win.
