GB News: Nigel Farage and Reform 'principally profiting' from General Election petition
Polling expert Professor Sir John Curtice indicates that Nigel Farage and Reform UK are benefiting from the declining popularity of the current Government, with Reform UK's support around 19%. A petition for a new General Election has gained over 2.5 million signatures, highlighting public dissatisfaction.
Curtice notes the political landscape is increasingly fragmented, posing challenges for both major parties. Conservatives face competition from their right, while Labour contends with opposition from the left. This shift suggests traditional campaign strategies may need reevaluation as the dominance of Conservative and Labour parties could be at risk.
The American Mind: Protect California From Kamala
Kamala Harris may be eyeing the governorship of California as her next political move, especially with Gavin Newsom termed out in two years. Despite her struggles in national politics, her past victories in the state suggest she could easily win a race for governor, backed by prominent California Democrats.
While there is a noticeable shift in California politics, with voters rejecting extreme progressive measures, the Republican Party faces challenges in uniting behind a viable candidate. A potential candidate like Michael Shellenberger could attract support from both conservatives and moderate Democrats, offering a chance to challenge Harris effectively.
GB News: More than 2.6 million have signed the petition for a General Election - but how many will matter?
Michael Hestwood's online petition for a General Election has gained over 2.6 million signatures, reflecting widespread discontent with Labour leader Keir Starmer's government. Despite the petition's momentum, Starmer dismissed calls for an early election, citing the constitutional authority of the Prime Minister to decide.
The petition's success highlights significant public backlash against Starmer's leadership, particularly following a tumultuous start to his tenure. While the UK government must respond to petitions surpassing 10,000 signatures, the Prime Minister retains the ultimate power to call elections, complicating the situation further.

The Federalist: Biden Proposes Medicare And Medicaid Coverage For Ozempic
President Biden's administration has proposed federal coverage for diabetes drugs used for weight loss, a move that could cost taxpayers up to $35 billion over ten years. The rule would only cover individuals with a body mass index of 30 or higher, as obesity rates soar in the U.S.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., nominated to lead HHS, has criticized these drugs as a false promise and advocates for addressing obesity through better nutrition. His stance may face opposition from pharmaceutical lobbyists in the Senate, who have significant financial ties to the industry.
