Reform, PM
BRITAIN’S historic two-party political system was hit by an earthquake yesterday.
Yes, it was only one set of local and mayoral elections, plus a single Parliamentary by-election.

But Reform proved it is now as big a threat to Labour as it is to a Tory party still reeling from last year’s General Election drubbing.
From once true blue Lincolnshire, to Labour’s 16th safest seat in Runcorn, Nigel Farage won victory after shuddering victory.
He has the momentum and will now argue — with some justification — that he can be the next Prime Minister.
Albeit he’ll now have to show Reform can actually run things, rather than just protest at those who can’t.
Labour and the Tories responded by begging for more time to sort themselves out.
The public is utterly fed up with both.
Voters booted out the Tories in large part because they’d lost control of our borders.
But still the dinghies sail on — with a shocking 11,000 illegal immigrants arriving already this year.
Meanwhile, families have been pummelled with cuts to winter fuel allowances and higher bills that definitely weren’t part of Labour’s promised plan for “change”.
It’s not hard to figure out what electors DO want:
An NHS that works, potholes filled in, bins emptied, a public sector that serves the public rather than itself.
Dramatic cuts in legal migration, the boats stopped, hotels emptied of asylum seekers and the money returned to hard-working Brits.
An economy that’s not taxed to death so it can start to grow properly.
Like us, Sir Keir Starmer loves his football.
So he surely understands that — bar a decent record on the international stage — his time in the No10 dugout is off to a very shaky start.
The question is: Does the PM have the team-talk in him to turn it all around?
A sorry show
PRINCE Harry blames everyone but himself for his costly and humiliating Court of Appeal defeat.
In a shameless display of victimhood, he claimed the Government, the media, royal protection chiefs and even his own family ganged up to deny him taxpayer-funded protection.
But the whining prince is reaping the results of his own decision to quit royal duties and flee to California in a huff.
He slated his family as Prince Philip was dying and again when the Queen was in her last days.
Now he’s at it again as both his father and sister-in-law have been fighting cancer.
Yet in the next breath, he says he wants “reconciliation”.
Is he too stubborn and stupid to realise saying sorry would be a good first step?
