Story by Laila Cunningham - Reform UK's London mayoral candidate
For too long, Londoners have been shoved to the back of the queue for social housing while newcomers jump the line. Our own people are sleeping rough on the streets of their own capital, and shamefully, veterans who put their lives on the line for our country - who are supposedly prioritised for social housing - are pushed aside in favour of those who have just arrived.

Panic in Russia as demand for antidepressants surges
Story by Eleanor Burleigh
Demand for antidepressants including Prozac is soaring in Russia as the fourth anniversary of Vladimir
Putin's illegal invasion of Ukraine looms. Around 22.3 million packages of antidepressant drugs were sold in 2025, the equivalent of £200 million and almost the double the amount bought in 2022, according to analytics company DSM.
The apparent mental health crisis has been linked to a spiralling economy, as funds are poured into Putin's war machine, and a culture of fear, with over 20,000 Russians arrested for anti-war activities between 2022 and 2025. Citizens are unable to buy everyday essentials such as potatoes, which have spiked in cost by 167% following failed harvests, while welfare and education spending have also reportedly been slashed in favour of military aggression. Russia's economy is also continuing to reel from the Western sanctions imposed after the Ukraine invasion, with its oil and gas revenue plummeting to a five-year low of 393.3 billion rubles (£377 billion) in January
