by Toby Young
3 May 2025 1:28 AM

  • “Local elections 2025 live: Results come in across UK after Reform victory” – Live results from the Telgraph of the local election bloodbath.
  • “A new dawn has broken – and Nigel Farage might just be our next prime minister” – Reform’s historic by-election victory brings a level of euphoria we haven’t seen since the Brexit vote. This time we do get our country back, writes Allison Pearson in the Telegraph.
  • “The SDP failed to break the mould of British politics. Reform has a better chance” – The public is more fed up with the old parties than it was in 1981 and Farage is far more natural a politician than the Gang of Four were, says Charles Moore in the Telegraph.
  • “I am sorry for Tory election bloodbath” – We knew it would be hard. These results show the scale of work needed to rebuild trust in the Conservative Party, Kemi Badenoch tells the Telegraph.
  • “Kemi Badenoch vows turnaround after Conservatives’ drubbing” – The party leader says reviving their fortunes will not be easy but she tells the Times has a plan.
  • “Net zero subsidies cost British households £280 a year” – Levies are a key factor in sky-high electricity prices, says Renewable Energy Foundation, reports the Telegraph.
  • “Expert glory and law’s effectual truth” – On taxing sugar: how technocracy works and where it comes from. Latest post from David McGrogan on News From Uncibal.
  • “The Supreme Court ruling on the Equality Act should cause no confusion – the judgment is a model of clarity” – Last week I had the honour of hosting an event in the House of Lords to celebrate 15 years of the Equality Act 2010, writes Kishwer Falkner in Politics Home.
  • “Florida passes bill to ban “weather modification”” – New legislation would make unapproved cloud seeding a third-degree felony, punishable by up to five years in prison, reports Newsweek.
  • “Pro-Palestine activist ship ‘bombed by Israel’” – Israel bombed a ship carrying supplies to Gaza, just moments before Greta Thunberg was due to board, reports the Telegraph.
  • “Assisted dying ‘will kill as many as 4,500 people a year’” – A report says the assisted dying bill could save taxpayer £90m as critics flag dangers of ‘money-saving prejudices’, says the Telegraph.
  • “The press has a big problem: Its regulator wants to be nice” – Following its ruling against the Telegraph, critics claim Ipso is prioritising minority groups’ feelings over protecting free speech, writes Gordon Rayner in the Telegraph.
  • “Private schools branch out and merge to offset VAT effect on fees” – Some of the UK’s most prestigious independent schools are growing in strength and looking at ways to expand, says the Times.
  • “AfD classified as extreme-right by German intelligence” – The AfD came second in February elections and has a record number of seats in the new parliament, yet it has been classified as ‘extreme right’ by the German intelligence service, reports the Times.
  • “Brutal drive-by on Bridget Phillipson by Sir John Curtice” – Bridget Phillipson tries to spin Labour‘s losses on Newsnight. John Curtice sets her straight.
