Reform UK Leader Nigel Farage has issued a direct challenge to the Conservative Party ahead of the May 2025 county council elections. In a move set to shake up local politics, Farage sent letters to all 1,352 Conservative councillors facing re-election, urging them to defect to his right-leaning Reform UK.
Farage’s message is clear: the Conservative Party is on shaky ground. Many councillors are already seeing the writing on the wall, with colleagues defecting and Reform UK gaining ground in their districts. In several areas, Reform UK has not only secured MPs but has also come close to unseating Conservative incumbents. Farage’s appeal underscores a deepening frustration with the Conservative leadership, rocked by scandals and broken promises.
“The Conservative Party is a busted flush,” Farage said, pointing to internal battles over leadership and key policies like ECHR membership. “These 1,352 councillors are watching their time in office tick away. I urge any Conservative who believes in their country to join Reform UK and build on the incredible strides we made in the General Election.”
The defection push highlights Reform UK’s growing momentum and the crumbling confidence within the Conservative Party’s ranks. As local elections approach, Farage’s gamble could again reshape British politics. […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
