EXC: Govt-Funded Cafe Owner Who Lashed Out at Farage Linked to Top Labour Figures. The founder of a publicly subsidized community café who wrote an open letter attacking Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has close ties to senior figures in Britain’s governing Labour Party—including Greater Manchester Mayor and Makerfield by-election (special election) candidate Andy Burnham, who personally amplified her complaint on social media. These are the details: PULSE POINTS ❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Gemma Crompton, Founder and Director of The Hamlet Wigan CIC, wrote an open letter to Nigel Farage after the Reform UK leader visited her premises earlier this week. Farage visited the community café while campaigning in Makerfield, a parliamentary seat his party is vying to take from Labour. The Labour candidate, Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham, hopes to use it to launch a bid to replace Sir Keir Starmer as Labour leader and Prime Minister. Burnham and the media amplified Crompton’s letter on Friday—but without mentioning her ties to Labour figures, including Burnham. 🎯 IMPACT: Crompton accused Farage and his team of arriving at the café unannounced while Burnham was there, and creating an atmosphere that staff, trainees, and customers found “intimidating and overwhelming.” The Hamlet Wigan CIC is publicly subsidized, and Crompton—its sole director—received remuneration of £59,021 (~$79,300) in the most recent financial year, according to the organization’s own accounts signed off in December 2025. A typical salary in Wigan is around £34,000 a year. 📰 DETAIL: Crompton also appears to have ties to the Labour Party establishment in Wigan. A post from the Wigan Business account shows Crompton receiving a Gold award from Councillor David Molyneux, a Labour politician and former Council Leader. Crompton’s letter even admitted that the new Labour leader, Nazia Rehman, made her day “even more special” by confirming her cafe had been granted a 25-year lease with the full support of Wigan Council, i.e. local taxpayers. For Crompton to be using publicly subsidized premises for outward partisan campaigning so close to a special (by) election is almost unheard of, yet the corporate media has refused to reveal any of this information, instead portraying her as a small cafe owner who was overwhelmed by Mr. Farage having a cup of tea at her (or, rather, the taxpayers’) business. 💬 KEY QUOTE: “Why didn’t the BBC report that Gemma is close with the outgoing Labour council leader, who is one of Burnham’s bezzie [best] mates?” – Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse

All of the lefties clutching their pearls over White Van Man having a word with Rachel Reeves were perfectly happy with the behaviour towards politicians by this man

If you voted Brexit and are sick of being told you were wrong, consider this.

What a brilliant goodbye

The man who gave his entire life to Donald Trump — finally opened up to the world today. And showed America a hidden side of Trump that most of us never knew existed. Trump’s own pilot. The man who has flown him for 30 years. Who has sat in that cockpit while Trump sat behind him — through campaigns and presidencies and everything in between. And he said something that stopped me completely. In 30 years — he has never once seen Donald Trump sleep on a flight. Not once. Because every single time that plane takes off — Trump opens his briefings. His papers. His calls. His decisions. And starts working. 35000 feet in the air. While most passengers close their eyes — Trump is reading. Deciding. Carrying. And I sat with that for a very long time. Because most of us think Air Force One is where Trump rests. Where he finally gets a break from everything. And his own pilot — the man who has watched him for 30 years — just told the world the truth. There is no break. There is no rest. There is no moment where Donald Trump puts America down and picks himself up instead. Not even at 35000 feet. “I’ve never seen him sleep on a flight.” One sentence. Thirty years of witnessing history.

Different picture in the leader approvals. Badenoch is back on top at -5, Davey is at -10. Farage is down at -15. Polanski hits the lowest we’ve recorded for him at -29 and Starmer remains stuck at -46.
