Steve Coogan says ‘disappointing' Labour year will ‘pave the way' for Reform UK
The 59-year old actor and comedian, who recently starred in The Penguin Lessons, reportedly supported the Labour Party in previous elections until last year, where he backed the Green Party. Speaking to The Guardian, Coogan said the current Labour Government is 'no different from a Conservative government in neglecting ordinary people'. 'What they're doing is putting Band-Aids on the gash in the side of the Titanic,' he said. 'The success of Reform, I lay squarely at the feet of the neoliberal consensus, which has let down working people for the last 40 years and they're fed up. It doesn't matter who they vote for, nothing changes for them. 'They'll pave the way for the only alternative, which is a racist clown. Reform (UK) couldn't organise a p*** up in a brewery, but if there's no alternative, you understand why working people will make that choice.' This comes after the Labour Government marked one year since winning the 2024 general election. Coogan added: 'It's not just the fact that people are disempowered and feel like they have no autonomy. It's compounded by the fact that these people, these multinationals, are enabled and supported by the Government to keep their foot on the neck of working people. 'If any government wants to address that extremism, what they have to do is tackle the root cause…(which is) poverty and economic decline in the post-industrial landscape, especially in the North. 'If Labour addressed that problem, Reform would go away – all their support would dissipate.' Coogan also said he agreed 'wholeheartedly' with MP Zarah Sultana's statement shared on Thursday which said the Government had failed to 'improve people's lives' and that the 'two-party system offers nothing but managed decline and broken promises'. Ms Sultana also announced that she was quitting the Labour Party to co-lead a left-wing alternative with former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn. Coogan is best known for portraying Alan Partridge, a persona which pokes fun at British broadcasters, having appeared in several TV series as well as the 2013 feature film Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa. The Government has been contacted for comment.

My nightmare neighbour threw cigarettes over the fence & screamed at my kid, so I took revenge with the help of my pool
Read on for the most common neighbour rows COOL OFF My nightmare neighbour threw cigarettes over the fence & screamed at my kid, so I took revenge with the help of my pool A WOMAN has revealed how she would get revenge on her nightmare neighbours. We all hope to have a good relationship with those who live next door, but sometimes, it's impossible. 3 Kathryn revealed how she got evenge on her neighbour Credit: kathrynoliver89 3 The clever mum was sick with the mess and noise Credit: Getty 3 So she took matters into her own hands Credit: kathrynoliver89 And unfortunately for Kathryn Oliver, that was the case. She revealed that everybody on her street got on, apart from her next-door neighbour at the time. Kathryn said her neighbour was a total nightmare to live with, tossing trash onto people's properties, making noise and shouting at people. The mum told people in the comments some of the ridiculous things her neighbour had done. "She said she was glad my dog died, tried to fight my 12-year-old daughter," she explained. The mum also said her neighbour was constantly throwing things over to her garden, like cigarette butts and would blast music as late as 5am. While the mum was stuck with a nightmare neighbour who made her life a misery, she didn't go down without a fight. Instead, she came up with a clever and sneaky way to get revenge. Like most of us, Kathryn had a swimming pool in the garden for warmer months. And when it was time to empty it, she would make sure the water ran into her neighbour's garden to ruin their lawn. Kate Lawler locked in bitter row with neighbour after controversial move - whose side are YOU on- She wrote: "Time to empty the pool into next door's garden. "This was last year and we have nice neighbours now." The clip has since gone viral on her TikTok account @kathrynoliver89 with over 820k views and 11k likes. People were quick to share their thoughts on the mum's revenge scheme. One person wrote: "It's good for the grass." The Top Five Reasons Neighbours Squabble One study by Compare the Market revealed the top reason British neighbour's argue Broken fences - top of the board was broken fences and whose responsibility it was to fix it Parking: one of the leading drivers of neighbour disputes, with 54.1 per cent of people having issues with people parking in front of their house, parking bay or driveway Trees - complaints about a neighbour's tree cracking your garden path was also common with nearly half of participants finding it frustrating Bin wars - outdoor bin etiquette continues to ignite the most furious debates between neighbours Nosy Neighbours - some people have their eyes and ears at the ready to have a peek causing problems for others Another commented: "My garden's on a slant I hate my neighbour so I put it up next to her fence and just pull all the plugs out." Girl. I thank you for this idea. My neighbours don't stop screaming." "This is genius," penned a third. Meanwhile a fourth said: "What in the fridge and sofa outside the house with no carpets is going on here?" "I love evil,' claimed a fifth Someone else added: "So this is how to get rid of horrible neighbours."
