Defined benefit public sector pensions are the British state’s second largest liability. They’re about £2.4 trillion - around 100 per cent of GDP. The old parties have ducked this for years. Most of the media won’t talk about it either. But Reform UK will not dodge this mammoth issue. Richard Tice has already announced that a Reform would close Local Government Pension Schemes to new entrants. And today Reform UK launched a review of whether new entrants for any defined benefit scheme should be permitted to such schemes. Reform UK have already announced £40bn of yearly savings. In the coming weeks, we’ll be saying more about the true cost of the Boriswave and unskilled migration we’ve had - and how Reform will stop it blowing a hole in the country’s finances. And we will commit to more savings in the coming months. It’s because we are the only the party with a plan to cut wasteful spending that we can credibly commit to keeping the triple lock. So, yes: we’ll balance the books. We just won’t do it on the backs of British people who’ve paid in their whole life. Instead, we’ll save tens of billions by resetting Government spending so it puts the British people – and only the British people – first.  Politics is about choices.  And we choose the British people. We will every time.

Trump on Somali-Americans in Minnesota: "They're low IQ. I can generalize. They're low IQ people. They're bad people." (Note that moments later he claims Indianapolis is in Minnesota)

Do you agree that Reeves is going down in history as the most dishonest, inept, useless, clueless and unpopular Chancellor ever! 🇬🇧

Paula White compares Trump to Jesus during event with faith leaders: "You were betrayed and arrested and falsely accused. It's a familiar pattern that our Lord and Savior showed us. Because of His resurrection, you rose up."

An utterly monstrous, uneducated and ignorant bigot

The appalling scenes in Clapham in recent days are absolutely unacceptable and those responsible will face the full force of the law. Two arrests have been made and the Met is continuing to investigate. There will be an increased police presence in the area in the coming days, with officers providing support and reassurance to residents and businesses.
