Reform UK will not support lowering voting age to 16

When asked whether his party would support lowering the voting age to 16, Reform UK leader said ''No, even though we'd get lots of votes''.

Mr Farage also added 16 years olds should only be allowed to vote when they are allowed to stand for Parliament.

The next general election will see 16-year-olds able to vote for the first time, ministers have confirmed in wide-ranging plans to “modernise our democracy”.

Astronomer CEO Caught Kissing HR in Coldplay Concert: Wife Dragged in Scandal, Company Silent!

Astronomer CEO Andy Byron was caught on a kiss cam at a Coldplay concert with Kristin Cabot — the company’s Chief People Officer — and not his wife. The moment, captured on video and quickly spread across TikTok and X, has ignited a wave of online backlash.
