FARAGE’S Bold Invitation: Conservative Councillors Offered a NEW Political Home
— Nigel Farage has invited 1,352 Conservative councillors in England to join Reform UK. The party is gearing up for its first national election campaign. Currently, Reform UK has 28 local councillors and aims to grow significantly.
In a video message, Farage said many local Conservatives align more with his party than with Westminster’s Conservatives. Unlike the 2019 election deal with Boris Johnson’s Conservatives, Reform UK plans to run candidates in every local council contest this May. Farage warned that most Conservative councillors risk losing their seats and offered them a “lifeline” by joining Reform UK.
Farage stressed that only those who truly want to change the country should apply, setting a deadline for decisions before next month’s candidate selection. He made it clear not everyone would be accepted, especially those prone to internal conflicts typical of Tory politics.
The invitation comes just before the announcement of the new Conservative Party leader — either Kemi Badenoch or Robert Jenrick replacing Rishi Sunak. Farage dismissed the leadership contest as irrelevant, claiming the Conservative brand is irreparably damaged due to repeated betrayals of voters’ trust over successive elections and manifestos.
SHOCKING DISCOVERY: Woman Turns Grocery Store Sign into Her Home for a Year
— A startling find in Michigan: A woman had turned a grocery store sign into her living quarters, complete with everyday essentials like a desk and coffee maker. Contractors stumbled upon this unusual home after noticing an extension cord snaking its way to the roof. The 34-year-old woman had made this her residence for an entire year.
Midland Police Officer Brennon Warren described the interior as shockingly cozy, outfitted with flooring, clothing, and even office supplies. The sign was five feet wide and was accessed via the store’s roof. Authorities were puzzled about how she managed to enter the space without any clear entry points.
This bizarre living situation sheds light on broader societal issues such as homelessness and the extreme measures some take to secure shelter. It prompts a discussion on urban housing crises and inventive solutions people resort to in their quest for stability.
The incident has sparked conversations about security measures at commercial properties and the hidden struggles individuals face within urban environments, pushing them towards such unconventional living arrangements.

This peculiar living situation sheds light on broader issues of homelessness in cities, prompting debates about housing and social services needs.
US Squatting Laws EXPLOITED: Migrant ‘Influencer’ PUSHES Illegal Home Seizures
— Squatting laws in the United States are increasingly manipulated by fraudsters unlawfully occupying empty homes. This problem is projected to escalate due to the current immigration crisis, as migrants gain knowledge of these laws and exploit them.
Leonel Moreno, a Venezuelan national apprehended by Immigration and Customs Enforcement last week, had been urging his TikTok followers, numbering in the millions, to commandeer vacant U.S. homes. Before his arrest, Moreno was raking in $1,000 per day as an influencer while also benefiting from $350 monthly government subsidies.
The regulations on squatters vary across states and cities with New York City being among those with the most lax rules. These laws have recently resulted in significant repercussions including a Queens homeowner’s arrest for attempting to remove squatters from her property — a clear sign that these laws continue to be exploited even after Moreno’s TikTok account has been deactivated.
Recent incidents involving deceptive squatters in New York City and Long Island underscore the potential for abuse of these laws. Last month saw a woman tragically killed by squatters occupying her mother’s apartment while another instance involved two individuals unlawfully residing in an abandoned Long Island home after forging the deceased owner’s signature on a lease.
UK Government STRIKES BACK Against Post Office Injustice: Here’s What You Need to Know
— The UK government has taken a significant stride towards rectifying one of the country’s most egregious miscarriages of justice. A new law introduced on Wednesday aims to overturn the wrongful convictions of hundreds of Post Office branch managers across England and Wales.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak emphasized that this legislation is vital for “finally clearing” the names of those unjustly convicted due to a flawed computer accounting system, known as Horizon. The victims, whose lives were drastically affected by this scandal, have experienced prolonged delays in receiving compensation.
Under the anticipated law, expected to be enacted by summer, convictions will be automatically overturned if they meet certain criteria. These include cases initiated by the state-owned Post Office or Crown Prosecution Service and offenses committed between 1996 and 2018 using the faulty Horizon software.
More than 700 subpostmasters were prosecuted and criminally convicted between 1999 and 2015 due to this software glitch. Those with overturned convictions will receive an interim payment with an option for a final offer of £600,000 ($760,000). Enhanced financial compensation will be provided to those who suffered financially but weren’t convicted.
HOME OFFICE’S ‘World Hijab DAY’ Celebration Sparks Controversy Amid Asylum Tensions
— A recent email from the Home Office’s Islamic Network (HOIN) to civil servants has ignited a debate. The message commended the Islamic Hijab, portraying it as a protective measure for women rather than an imposition by men. It also maintained that numerous Muslim women voluntarily don the hijab to fortify their faith.
While acknowledging that not all encounters with the hijab have been positive, the email underscored it as a personal choice and a facet of spiritual development. It encouraged staff to organize workshops or training sessions about the hijab, aiming to cultivate an open and respectful workplace environment.
This initiative coincides with a period when forced adherence to religious dress codes is classified by the Home Office as persecution — a valid reason for seeking asylum in the UK. An insider revealed that civil servants were urged to celebrate “World Hijab Day”, expressing apprehension about potential adverse impacts on asylum cases they manage.
The insider also expressed unease over insufficient internal communication concerning recent events such as a suspected acid attack by an asylum seeker.
NAVY’S Mightiest Warship USS Gerald R Ford Heads Home: Leaving Middle East Amid Rising Houthi Threats
— America’s largest naval vessel, the USS Gerald R. Ford, is preparing to sail back home from the eastern Mediterranean Sea. This move comes in the wake of an attack on Israel by Hamas on October 7th and forms part of a broader assessment of global force positioning by defense authorities.
The USS Dwight D. Eisenhower will stand as the only U.S. aircraft carrier in the region, given escalating attacks by Yemen-based Houthis on commercial ships navigating Middle Eastern waters. The Houthis justify these assaults as retaliation to Israel’s military actions against Hamas in Gaza.
Over the past weekend, U.S Navy helicopters from both USS Eisenhower and USS Gravely thwarted a Houthi hijacking attempt in Southern Red Sea, sinking three out of four boats involved after responding to a distress signal from Maersk Hangzhou.
In light of intensifying threats from Houthis, an international task force has been established by U.S military to protect commercial vessels navigating these volatile waters. The Biden administration continues to assert that Iran is providing intelligence support to Houthis for these attacks.
BRAVERMAN SHOCKER: Home Secretary Booted Amid Fierce Police Bias Controversy
— In the early hours of Monday, Suella Braverman was abruptly dismissed from her position as Home Secretary. This marks the first significant shake-up in the much-anticipated cabinet reshuffle. The decision follows a rising tide of political opposition demanding her departure in light of her critique on police conduct during recent Israel-Palestine protests in London.
Braverman had pointed fingers at senior police officers for displaying left-wing bias. She referenced incidents where those opposing lockdown measures were dealt with severely, while Black Lives Matter protestors were allegedly permitted to flout rules. Moreover, she argued that right-wing and nationalist demonstrators faced harsh consequences, whereas pro-Palestinian groups exhibiting similar conduct were largely overlooked.
Her remarks ignited a firestorm of criticism, predominantly from left-leaning detractors and some centrists within the Conservative Party. Despite facing backlash, Braverman continued to express concerns over Palestine protests on Sunday. She hinted at inadequate policing by Metropolitan Police leadership that needed attention.
Whether these comments were strategic moves towards leadership or attempts at legacy building remains uncertain.
FIRST Bolsonaro Backer JAILED: Brazilian Patriot’s Shocking 17-Year Sentence for Government Office Siege
— Aécio Lúcio Costa Pereira, a staunch advocate of Brazil’s ex-President Jair Bolsonaro, has been slapped with a 17-year prison term by the nation’s Supreme Court. This 51-year-old is the inaugural convict from the January 8 uprising where he, along with others, allegedly tried to reinstate Bolsonaro in power by storming high-ranking government offices.
Pereira was spotted on Senate footage donning a shirt that endorsed a military coup and filming himself commending others who had breached the building. He was convicted on five charges: criminal alliance; instigating a coup; violent assault on legal order; aggravated damage; and destruction of public property.
The rioters were voicing their dissent against Bolsonaro’s loss to leftist Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. The inauguration of da Silva happened just one week prior to this revolt. These pro-Bolsonaro protesters wreaked havoc in Congress buildings, the Supreme Court, and presidential palace by circumventing security barriers, shattering windows and breaking into all three largely empty edifices over that weekend.
Despite Pereira’s insistence that he partook in an unarmed peaceful protest, eight out of eleven justices disagreed with him. However, two justices appointed by Bol
