Two by-elections will be held early next month to elect councillors to North Lincolnshire Council.

Axholme North and Brumby wards will each elect a councillor on Thursday, June 6, with polls open 7am to 10pm. The by-elections follow the sad deaths of long-standing council and community stalwarts John Brigg and Steve Swift, who were councillors for the Conservatives and Labour respectively.

Steve Swift represented Brumby as one of its three Labour ward councillors, John Brigg was one of the two members for Axholme North, which includes Crowle and Ealand.

The Conservatives, Labour and the Liberal Democrats are all standing in both by-elections, and the Greens in Brumby only. The Lib Dems did not field a single candidate in last year's all-out North Lincolnshire Council elections.

Nobody is confronting the great Remainer lie about Brexit
Eight years ago on Sunday, we went to vote in the Brexit referendum. Let’s not forget that most of our rulers never wanted it in the first place. It only happened because of the campaigning of Nigel Farage and Ukip and the determination of a bunch of Tory MPs like Sir Bill Cash. It became the largest act of democracy, and indeed the largest vote for anything, in British history.

Supreme Court Sends Out an Ominous Sign
With just a few days left in the law term and more than 20 rulings still to be issued, the Supreme Court once again left Americans on tenterhooks Thursday when it released just four opinions, not including its most eagerly awaited. The justices, three of whom were appointed by Donald Trump, are still weighing Trump’s bid to be granted king-like immunity shielding him from prosecution for his role in the attempted coup on Jan. 6, 2021. Each day that passes without a ruling sets prosecutors back i

Trump Melts Down Over ‘Trash’ Fox News Poll That Shows Biden Ahead
Donald Trump is once again very mad at Fox News—this time over the conservative cable giant’s latest poll that shows him down nationally against President Joe Biden in the race for the White House.The ex-president's latest temper tantrum over Fox News comes just a day after he fumed that “nobody can ever trust” the Murdoch-owned channel because former House Speaker Paul Ryan, who recently sounded off against Trump, sits on Fox’s board.“The latest Fox News poll is TRASH!

The Ukrainian resistance is torching Putin’s dreams of conquest
On D-Day, the anniversary of which we just commemorated, the Allies knew the location of the Nazi defences thanks to the French Resistance. Now, Ukrainian resistance groups are playing pivotal roles in similar, albeit smaller, operations, enabling the Ukrainian Armed Forces to halt and, in places, turn back the Russian war machine. Their D-Day, however, is yet to come.

Nigel Farage has just proven that he’s not a serious leader
Nigel Farage’s analysis of Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine could hardly be more wrong. He claims that Nato and EU expansion was provocative. In fact it was Western weakness and timidity that encouraged Putin’s aggression in 2022. Rather than making any attempt to oppose Russia’s seizure of Crimea in 2014, or helping Ukraine to do so, Western governments called on Kyiv to take no action that might lead to escalation. In spirit, it was a foreshadowing of Joe Biden’s offer in February 2022 to
