https://inewshub.co.uk/2026/05/02/whos-who-on-may-7th/With election results coming in through the night, late into today, it does not look good for Labour. This morning, Labour lost 8 councils, the Conservatives -1, Reform +2, and Lib Dems +1 at 9.30 am

https://inewshub.co.uk/2026/04/17/the-teflon-pm/At about 9.10 am, the PM was questioned on his views of the election. He stated we cannot sugarcoat these results, and the public is showing its dislike of the quickness with which the Labour Party is solving things. He stated Labour won by a landslide, and he would be there to see his appointment through.

The Teflon PM just never answers the questions posed. The most hated and despised PM in history just does not get it. They sing songs about him at sporting events, which are not nice at all. But he vows not to quit being PM. His defiance is that he will stand in the next general election as Labour leader.

Nigel Farage gave a statement in which he was happy with all the gains and even pointed out Sir Keir Starmer is a great ally. Nigel said Reform is wiping out Labour and the Conservatives.

Kemi Badenoch was very happy to win back Westminster, and the fightback goes on. But the Conservatives have a short memory of what they did to people in the 13 years of their rule.

The Greens gained a mayor in Hackney, and we are sure we will not hear the last of it.

More results come in, and we will report more tomorrow.

VAT cut for summer attractions

The Chancellor promised to smash ticket prices for museums, theme parks and zoos

Well, the chancellor is breaking the bank by giving kids and adults a 15% reduction on VAT on attractions in the summer from June to September.

The Chancellor promised to smash ticket prices for museums, theme parks and zoos to ease the cost-of-living burden on families.

Rachel Reaves commented that children’s meals in restaurants will also be cut as part of a “Great British Summer Savings” plan.

The plan is estimated to cost £300 million, which will include bus travel for kids aged 5-15. The chancellor told MPs that she knows what matters to the public, and this will help with the cost of living.

It does support the hospitality industry, we can agree, but people have more important things to spend their money on.

The VAT cut is for children and adult tickets used for summer attractions. This will happen between June 25 to September the 1st.

She also said there was to be no rise in fuel duty and a change in tariffs on various food items.

It’s all a great idea, keeping families close and helping with the cost of family days out. But haven’t families got more worries than days out?

With the cost-of-living skyrocketing, people are demanding change quickly. Is this simple offer going to cut it with the public?

We have high household bills, gas and electric, and car fuel running at a high price due to the Iran war.

We need change, and we need it now. Yes, we can agree that the chancellor has tried to save us money, but it’s not in the right areas.

She will be planning how to get the £300 million back as we speak. In the end, the Chancellor is a taker, not a giver.

Is This The PMs End Finally

Well, it’s been a roller coaster week in politics this week.

Well, it’s been a roller coaster week in politics this week. Key names like Sir Keir Starmer, the PM, Wes Streeting, and Andy Burnham all play a part.

It started with a bad result in the local elections for Labour. They were huge losses and worse in Wales. Various MPs started to get disgruntled, and the PM said he would make a statement on Monday.

Come Monday morning, the PM gave a speech trying to inspire the public and his MPs. Read off the autocue, he failed to inspire anyone, and his major pledge was to nationalise British Steel. He couldn’t tell a joke without an autocue.

Tuesday was a cabinet meeting with many MPs coming out after the meeting telling the press the PM is the man to get the job done.

Wednesday was the King’s speech at Westminster in the Lords.

Everyone became aware that Wes Streeting was planning to leave government. He held off for the King’s speech before declaring his resignation. On Thursday, Wes resigned, with Andy Burnham coming to London.

Many MPs came out in the defence of Keir Starmer. The number of MPs looking for the PM to go was just over 90. What we are led to believe is that the UK will fall apart without the PM.

The Prime Minister’s hardliners just had repetitive messages that no one has challenged the PM yet. No one has the 81 MPs needed.

The cabinet comments are all choreographed and rather boring.

Andy Burnham, even though he is not an MP, has decided to throw his hat in the ring. The MP for Makerfield will give up his seat, and Andy will stand. This time, the NEC said he can move forward to stand.

There are problems, though. Reform took most of the seats in the local elections, and with only a 5000 majority, the seat could go to Reform in a bye-election.

It’s been a very packed and exciting week, and we just scratched the surface. Check out Google to get more info.

The PM’s speech for survival

Today, the PM made a speech to save his hide.

Today, the PM made a speech to save his hide. After poor performance in the local elections, he needed this speech to tell the country what Labour and him are going to do for the country to save his skin. But in true fashion, he said nothing new; it was poor.

He opened with dangerous opponents, causing dark times. He is looking at Reform and the Green Party. There seems to be a little scaremongering in this form of statement to make people think that only his party is suitable to run the country.

He repeatedly said he alone takes responsibility for the poor election results. But it was not poor, it was abominable. He has no emotion over this and shows no emotion. A lot of good people lost their seats, and he carries the can.

He mentioned the frustration of the country. He also stated that people are frustrated with him. People need hope, but are not getting it. We can only win with a stronger version of Labour.

He had one major change to happen this week. British Steel is to be nationalised. British steel loses 1m a day, which isn’t great for the country’s economy. How does British steel help with the cost of living?

Another contentious subject is Europe. On June 23rd, 2016, the EU referendum took place. We opted to leave the EU. But Labour and Sir Keir Starmer are trying to get us back in. He stated in his speech that we need to get closer to the EU and put Britain at the heart of Europe. What gives him the right to overturn the referendum?

Sky News asked about Andy Burnham having a chance to become a Labour MP. The PM stated it was up to the Labour Party leadership (PMC) if Andy was to get in. But he blocked him last time because he would lose his job to Andy if he were an MP.

The PM shows no emotion in his speeches; it might as well be AI-generated. He speaks to us like a barrister would, with many statements that are usually scaremongering.

The party is divided, and we will see in the coming days how MPs will think. The Teflon PM is trying to hang on, but only time will tell.
