Keir Starmer's bid to give 16 year-olds the vote is not going down well with the public according to a new poll.
Labour's Left is accusing Sir Keir of a "purge" after another party candidate was barred from standing in the General Election, this time for liking a series of posts on X that downplayed accusations of antisemitism.
In the latest episode of the Weekly Sceptic, the talking points are Rishi's poor campaigning skills, boring boring Keir Starmer and Nigel Farage's controversial comments about British Muslims.
New polling reveals just how hard Rishi Sunak's task is. The thought of the Tories staying in power is even less appealing to voters than the prospect of Jeremy Corbyn entering Downing Street was five years ago.
Rishi Sunak's big new policy is "If you can vote, you should fight”, whereas Keir Starmer's is "If you can fight, you should vote". But is either what the country needs? asks James Alexander.
As Rishi Sunak fires the starting pistol on the 2024 General Election, voters are starting to look at where the parties stand on the issues. While manifestoes are yet to appear, here's what we know so far.
George Galloway's by-election win is a protest against Broken Britain, says Luke Tryl, as a poll shows that two-thirds of voters believe the cost of living is the key issue, while just 8% prioritise the Middle East crisis.
In the latest Weekly Sceptic podcast the talking points are Keir Starmer making trouble in Parliament on behalf of an Islamic mob, Sunak suspending Lee Anderson and the French showing us how to deport hate preachers.
Keir Starmer barged into Commons Speaker Lindsay Hoyle's tiny office ahead of Hoyle's announcement of bending Parliament's rules to help Labour, while Sue Gray lurked nearby and Chris Bryant stalled in the chamber.
Keir Starmer's coming revolution is more radical than his opponents realise, says J Sorel. His vision is to codify Blair's Britain and place it beyond the reach of politicians in the hands of bureaucrats and judges.
