Atherton told the BBC she had joined Reform because of her concerns over a "loss of national identity and pressure on public services". She added that she had "had enough of 26 years of decline in Wales under a Labour and Plaid Cymru pact". Atherton added that she worried "like millions of others" about the direction the UK was heading.

Danny Kruger was already looking very queasy when he was sat at the back for the Reform press conference in which Nigel Farage revealed his plans for mass deportations of legal migrants. Then on Wednesday, it fell to him to go on the news channel to say that when Zia Yusuf had repeatedly said that Keir Starmer was a terrorist who was plotting to kill Farage, he had actually meant something entirely different.

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

During his speech the prime minister attacked "lies" that are being told about Britain and mocked figures who sought to portray London as "the wasteland of anarchy". His comments come only days after US President Donald Trump claimed that London had "changed" and would "go to sharia law" as part of an ongoing feud with the capital's Labour mayor Sadiq Khan.

The UK should import US scientists whose cancer research projects have been cut by Donald Trump, Ed Davey will argue at a Liberal Democrat conference that has focused heavily on how the party can respond to hard-right populism. In his closing speech, Davey will also criticise Nigel Farage, saying the Reform UK conference applauded the Trump administration's decision to slash funding for mRNA vaccines, which are being trialled as a way to offer personalised immunotherapy treatment for some cancers.

I've battled with this decision for some time. But deep down, I know it's the right call. It isn't ordinary, hardworking people in Stevenage and across our country who've left Labour, Labour has left us. When policies harm the British people and weaken our democracy, I cannot in good conscience support them. As Stevenage's youngest councillor, I entered politics to serve with integrity and respect. Today, I know I join a party that will put the British people and our great nation first.

Elon and I have a relationship, wouldn't say a very good one. He's generally rather rude about me... You know, it would be nice to get some clarification of what fight meant in that context,

The Cardiff University study found Reform was referenced in just under a fifth of ITV News At Ten bulletins, compared with 6.2% for the Liberal Democrats, meaning Reform was covered three times more. The study of the two bulletins also raised questions about the scrutiny of Reform. In just under a fifth of cases, there was no analysis of Reform's policies or claims. They were rigorously scrutinised in just under four in 10 cases, and to some extent in another four in 10 cases.
