Britain’s tilt to the right is being felt on its streets and in its politics. From Reform UK’s surge in local elections to far-right rallies that draw tens of thousands of people, once fringe voices seem to be moving into the mainstream. While these movements vary in size and ideology, many are tapping into genuine frustrations over the economy and immigration. CNN's Jomana Karadsheh spent the past few months looking at how this small but vocal minority has grown louder and more visible, and how it’s even finding inspiration in the MAGA movement.

'The real deal': Ann Widdecombe remembered for her passionate defence of British values

Reform UK Councillor Darren Grimes reflects on the legacy of former Conservative MP Ann Widdecombe following her tragic murder. “For me, her legacy is actually wanting to fight for the right for people to be free to speak their mind,” Mr Grimes told Sky News host Rita Panahi. “For many on the political left that went on to broadcasters … to speak about Ann’s personal life in the most grotesque way possible, she would have defended their right to do it. “She was someone who believed passionately in the rights and values that our nation represents … she was the real deal. “She was a fighter for this nation, fundamentally a patriot.”

The letter, written in March 2025, appeared to call, in deliberately provocative language, for Albania’s elections to be cancelled and for Prime Minister Edi Rama to remain in power indefinitely, even “maybe even King.” In the Albanian political context, especially at a moment of mass civic protests, concerns over opaque development projects, and growing criticism of personalized power, the text could not The post Reinier de Graaf Explains Reinier de Graaf appeared first on Tirana Times.
