    British Labour Party leader Sir Keir Starmer on Sunday called for a ceasefire “now” between Israel and the Islamist Hamas terrorists in the Gaza Strip. Appearing before a Scottish Labour conference in Glasgow on Sunday, Sir Keir Starmer once again tried to thread the needle on the Israel issue, calling for a ceasefire to the conflict, while not going so far as the far-left and Muslim factions within his base would likely wish. Sir Keir said according to the BBC that there needs to be an end to the fighting “not just for now, not just for a pause, but...
  • ‘Extinction Event’ — Tories on Track for 1997-Style Election Wipeout Amid Migration Failures, Rise of Reform UK

    The British Conservative Party is facing an “extinction event” with a comprehensive poll predicting a defeat on the scale of the loss to Tony Blair’s Labour in 1997 on the backs of growing anger over failures to control migration and the rise of the Nigel Farage-founded Reform UK. A YouGov survey of 14,000 people released in The Telegraph newspaper on Sunday found that the Conservatives will win just 169 seats in the House of Commons, a decline of 196 from the last general election in 2019. This would outpace the seismic defeat of the party in 1997 when Sir John...
  • New Zealand votes in center-right party after years of Labour and Jacinda Ardern

    Jacinda Ardern was a progressive favorite on the world stage who led New Zealand for about five years. She resigned earlier this year saying she didn’t have the energy to face the voters another time. Her decision to step down left her Labour party in the hands of Chris Hipkins. But New Zealand has been dealing with high inflation and today voters demanded a change.After an election campaign of fits and starts, in which neither major party appeared to offer much solace to a weary nation, voters in New Zealand on Saturday ousted the party once led by Jacinda Ardern...

    Ken Livingstone, the former London Mayor and one-time figurehead of the Labour [Democrat] left , is suffering from Alzheimer's disease, his family has announced. He is being "well cared for by his family and friends" as he lives a "private life" in retirement, they said in a statement issued to the PA news agency. While having largely retreated from public life in recent years, the 78-year-old was a prominent figure in London politics for more than four decades from the 1970s. In his heyday, "Red Ken" was a thorn in the side both of Margaret Thatcher's Tories and New Labour...
  • ‘Rig the Electorate’ — UK Labour Party Vows to Lower Voting Age to 16 if Given Power

    The left-wing Labour Party has vowed to lower the voting age to 16 years old in a blueprint for the party’s next general election manifesto. In a move being described as a craven attempt to “rig the electorate”, the Labour Party’s National Policy Forum’s final report released late last week states: “Labour will introduce votes for 16- and 17-year-olds, in line with Scotland and Wales, so that young people feel empowered and can fully engage in our democratic processes. “Those who contribute to our society should have a say in how it is governed.”
  • UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak says 100% of women do not have a penis putting himself at odds with Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer

    Rishi Sunak has said he believes that 100 per cent of women do not have penises. The prime minister has put himself at odds with Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer by declaring that 100 per cent of women do not have male genitals. By contrast, Sir Keir earlier this month suggested that as many as one in every thousand women has a penis. Asked whether it is true that 100 per cent of women do not have a penis, in an interview with Tory-supporting website Conservative Home, Mr Sunak said: “Yes, of course.” He added: “We should always have compassion...

    Keir Starmer jettisoned another Labour pledge today admitting that he cannot stand by the offer of free bus travel for under-25s. Sir Keir said the 2019 manifesto should be treated as 'gone' as he was grilled over ditching a swathe of commitments. The Opposition leader also insisted that Britain would be better off if hard-Left predecessor Jeremy Corbyn had become PM - rather than guiding the party to an historic trouncing.

    Amir Farsoud is going to be murdered. The 54-year-old Canadian, whose story went viral online this week, is in the last stages of approval for “medical assistance in dying” (MAID), the neat bureaucratic euphemism for our northern neighbor’s rapidly advancing euthanasia program. In 2016, the country authorized physicians to kill their patients in cases of terminal illness or “reasonably foreseeable” death; Farsoud is being euthanized for back pain. At least, that is the medical justification being given. In reality, he is struggling financially and about to lose his home. As Farsoud sees it, he has run out of options. He...

    LONDON — British Prime Minister Liz Truss has fired her finance minister, Kwasi Kwarteng, as she fights to hang on as prime minister after her budget crashed the markets. Truss will give a press conference later Friday, amid reports of another imminent U-turn on significant parts of her plan to cut taxes. Downing Street announced Jeremy Hunt, who has previously served as health secretary and foreign secretary, would replace Kwarteng as chancellor. Despite several attempts to calm the markets, including reversing a plan to cut tax for the highest earners and bringing forward a more detailed budget statement, Truss has...

Increasing food, energy and diesel prices are already having a significant impact on her day-to-day life.Energy tariffs that offer cheaper “off peak” rates allow Donna and many others to shift their use of household appliances to the evening, or night time. Other adjustments, though, are more dramatic, like eating significantly less hot food.“I have noticed it recently,” she said. “My kids have...

    During a debate on housing and transport, the chairman of the session noted the people putting their hands up to contribute did “not reflect the diversity” of those in the hall. Mark Ferguson, a member of Labour’s National Executive Committee, told delegates in Brighton: “I am afraid, and I am not speaking from a position of particular strength here, there are too many white men putting their hands up.” To laughter, he added: “I am not anti-white men, some of my favourite people are – my dad’s a white man. “But I do not want white men to exclusively dominate...

    As the situation of the migrants on hunger strike in Brussels worsens, French-speaking socialist party PS and green party Ecolo have threatened to quit the federal government if any one of the activists dies, which would result in the current government falling. Both parties have informed Prime Minister Alexander De Croo that the ministers and secretaries of state will resign, which would see the government De Croo I losing its majority as part of the Vivaldi coalition. During the core cabinet meeting on Monday morning, federal Economy and Labour minister Pierre-Yves Dermagne warned that the PS ministers and secretaries of...
