Farage says he is 'parking our tanks on the lawn of Labour's Red Wall'

Reform UK is confident of making significant gains in the local elections in England on 1 May .

The anti-system party is also hopeful of winning the Runcorn and Helsby by-election, which Farage claims is Labour ’s 16th safest seat.

If a general election were held today , Labour would lose 153 seats to Reform and no party would have a majority.

Pope Francis ended up satisfying neither liberals nor conservatives, which might have been the point.

But for all his good intentions, he leaves behind a divided, fractious Church with many fundamental doctrinal conflicts unresolved perhaps because, ultimately, they are unresolvable.

The Pope was criticised for having Peronist and Marxist sympathies.
