Jeremy Kyle reacts as Downing Street advisers are pushing for an early general election NEXT YEAR. Several senior members of Andy Burnham's team believe that calling an election in the spring would give Labour the best chance of another majority. A YouGov megapoll released yesterday showed Labour would remain the largest party with 241 seats. The Conservatives would be in second place with 130 seats, better than their result in 2024, while Reform would be pushed into third place with 123 seats. In contrast, last year's megapoll showed Reform UK winning 311 seats.The number of small-boat migrants who have reached Britain under Labour is larger than the entire British Army. 781 migrants arrived on Wednesday – the highest daily tally this year. It pushed the total since the general election to 83,279 – passing the Army's 83,000 soldiers. Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp said. 'Labour has let an entire army-sized population cross the Channel illegally,Education Secretary Lucy Powell came under fire last night after she denied that benefits claimants spend their handouts on drink or gambling. She said welfare recipients spend their 'very little' money on rent and paying household bills rather than luxuries. Kemi Badenoch this week announced plans for a crackdown on benefits, with the jobless who have paid little in taxes seeing their handouts cut by 30 per cent.The criminal justice system is prioritising paedophiles before children, Britain's most senior police officer has said after a child sex offender was bailed to a flat near a children's playground. The Metropolitan Police commissioner Sir Mark Rowley attacked the decision to free Zafer Dogan as “yet another example of victims being let down”. The 32-year-old had admitted taking thousands of photos of people without their knowledge before using software to turn some of them into sexually explicit images, including by digitally removing clothing.Wake up with Talk Breakfast in full on YouTube, DAB+ radio, Samsung TV Plus or the Talk App on your TV from 6am every morning.

Will the increase in ministerial salaries cost the People’s Action Party (PAP) votes at the next General Election? On Sept 8, Prime Minister Lawrence Wong announced that political office-holders will get a one-off pay increase of up to 9 per cent. This will take effect from Oct 15 - an entry-level grade MR4 minister getting the full adjustment will see his annual pay rise from $1.1 million to $1.2 million. The changes to salaries come after the Government accepted the recommendations of a committee convened to review political salaries. One of its recommendations is that the MR4 benchmark will also be updated from $1.1 million to $1.8 million. Existing ministers’ salaries will continue to be adjusted based on performance, and PM Wong expects most MR4 ministers to earn about $1.35 million – the lower end of the new salary range – by the end of this term of government. In this episode of The Usual Place, Natasha speaks with Straits Times’ senior columnist Bhavan Jaipragas, and Rebecca Grace Tan, a senior lecturer in Political Science at the National University of Singapore. We discuss whether there is the “right” formula to calculating ministers’ salaries, and whether alternative performance reviews of ministers’ and MPs work is now necessary to account to the public for the pay raises. Highlights (click/tap above): 1:24 How did PM Wong fare in explaining the salary increases? 5:38 Was the debate “subdued” as compared to 2012? 8:44 Have S’poreans come to accept the million-dollar salaries? 13:45 Why didn’t the Workers’ Party oppose more strongly? 18:00 Growing divide between political elites and the rest of us? 21:09 Is the top 1,000 earners benchmark still fair? 26:20 Money, motive and minimising opportunity costs 32:15 How can we assess ministers’ performance? 41:44 Has public office become unattractive? 47:22 Is S’pore just another corporation?

Poll workers help set up voting locations, verify voter information, issue ballots and secure election materials after the polls close. They're also paid for both training and Election Day service. And this year, there's something new. For the first time, eligible West Virginia high school juniors and seniors can serve as poll workers under legislation passed earlier this year. Students must be in good academic standing, receive parental or guardian consent and complete the required election training.

FARAGE vs POLANSKI: IS THIS THE FUTURE OF BRITISH POLITICS? #NigelFarage #ZackPolanski #ReformConference #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #UKPolitics #BritishPolitics #ReformParty As the Reform UK Conference kicks off in Birmingham, Jon Gaunt asks a bigger question: is Britain finally ready for radical political change? Forget Labour versus Tory for a moment. Could the real future of British politics be Nigel Farage on the Right and Zack Polanski on the Left? They couldn't be further apart politically — but both are trying to convince voters that the old political establishment has failed. So are we witnessing the beginning of the end of Britain's traditional two-party system? And today I'm asking some difficult questions about Nigel Farage. Is he REALLY ready to become Prime Minister? It's one thing to attack the Establishment. It's another thing entirely to run the country. Where are the detailed policies? Where are the people capable of running the great departments of state? And can Reform move from protest movement to credible government? Meanwhile Zack Polanski and the Greens are attempting their own political revolution from the Left. Two insurgents. Two completely different visions of Britain. But would the British Establishment ever comfortably accept either of them getting anywhere near real power? Or are millions of voters finally ready to tell the political establishment: WE'VE HAD ENOUGH. WE WANT SOMETHING DIFFERENT. Jon Gaunt gives his verdict and wants yours. Farage? Polanski? Burnham? Badenoch? Or none of them?

Photo: Santa Fe Indian School campus. (Courtesy Administration for Native Americans for Children & Families) U.S. Rep Melanie Stansbury (D-NM) introduced two bills this week to modernize the Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) and potentially bring higher teacher salaries and more federal funding for tribal schools. KUNM's Jeanette DeDios (Jicarilla Apache and Diné) has more. The Indigenous Students Excel through Parity Act and its supporting Act II bill would create a study under the Department of Interior (DOI) to recommend reforms in order to provide funds that could increase teacher pay, and provide more educational opportunities. An identical bill is sponsored in the Senate by U.S. Sens. Martin Heinrich (D-NM) and Cynthia Lummis (R-WY). DOI administers BIE, which funds 183 schools across the country. New Mexico has one of the highest concentrations of BIE-funded schools with 44. Despite this, Rep. Stansbury says BIE schools have traditionally been underfunded, but they are competing with state-funded schools to recruit teachers. “So what this bill would do is study the current formula funds that are allocated per student to these tribally controlled schools to evaluate one how to increase funding per student, how to address increasing teacher and staff pay, and how to make sure that those schools who have extra costs and needs can have their needs met.” Stansbury says the goal of the bills is to bring teacher salaries in tribal schools up to the same level as those in state-funded schools. “If you’re a teacher, I mean, think about it, and you really want to work in a tribal community, whether you are a Native person yourself or not. And you’re looking at the difference of getting paid, let’s say, $50,000 by the federal government versus going and teaching in APS (Albuquerque Public Schools) making $60,000, you know, you’re going to have to make that economic decision for yourself and your family, and so we don’t want teachers to have to make that decision. We want teachers to be teaching in the schools they want to.” The proposed bill does not have a cost included with it, but if the study recommendations are enacted, BIE would have to boost funding for tribal schools. Jaynie Parrish and her father drop off ballots at the one county ballot box in their town of Kayenta, Ariz., left, and members of Arizona Native Vote's Hopi team, the Firekeepers, register younger community members in Bacavi, Ariz. (Photos: Jason Biggs / courtesy Jaynie Parrish) The U.S. Supreme Court recently ruled that mail-in ballots that arrive after Election Day can still be counted. While the move is a win for Arizona’s Indigenous voters, it highlights the challenges Native people still face in rural parts of the state, as Mark Moran reports. Voting rights advocates say the debate highlights the challenges Native people face in trying to submit a ballot in person. The sheer geography, vast distances between physical polling places, and lack of transportation all present obstacles for Indigenous voters. In many places, the nearest polling place may be miles away, but Arizona Native Vote’s Jaynie Parrish says many people on reservations also lack physical addresses, which creates its own set of problems. “Even in some rural towns, they have physical addressing, but not on a lot of Tribal lands. We still predominantly use PO boxes. That means we have to go to a U.S. Post Office or another location to pick up mail, but our folks still vote by mail.” The Trump administration has pushed back on the high court’s ruling, asking justices to allow the president’s executive order to be implemented. The attempt to reject mail-in ballots received after Election Day is among a host of bold policy choices under the Trump administration. Parrish also points to efforts to challenge voter citizenship, which she says hit especially hard on Native reservations. “It’s just absurd. You get a look on people’s face when we have to explain this or when they hear about the news or what this means, and it’s another barrier. And it’s ridiculous to ask First Peoples, Indigenous Peoples of their citizenship.” According to research from the Brennan Center, Indigenous voters were about 7% less likely to cast their ballot by mail in the last General Election, reflecting a wider lack of participation among Natives.
