British Prime Minister Keir Starmer – buttoned-up, lawyerly, reserved – is not a man prone to effusiveness. But when he sat next to US President Donald Trump in the Oval Office last February, he began to speak like his host. “This is really special,” said Starmer, as he brandished a letter from King Charles III inviting Trump for a second state visit to Britain. “This has never happened before. This is unprecedented… This is truly historic – an unprecedented second state visit.” Starmer’s uncharacteristic gushing showed how his government planned to handle the US president in his second term: play...

NATO allies, he wrote, privately agreed that Iran could not be allowed a nuclear weapon but refused to help when asked. America no longer needs or desires their assistance. We never did. Let that land.This is not bluster. It is a doctrine. Trump is telling every European government that the Article 5 guarantee they have sheltered under for seventy years was always conditional, and that they have now demonstrated they will not honour their side of the arrangement when it matters.

European Union foreign ministers showed “no appetite” to expand an EU naval mission in the Middle East to the Strait of Hormuz for the time being, EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas says. US President Donald Trump has called on other nations to help police the strait after Iran responded to US-Israeli attacks by using drones, missiles and mines to ‌effectively close the channel for tankers that normally transport a fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas. The EU’s Aspides mission — named after the Greek word for “shields” — was established in 2024 to protect ships from attacks...

UK:Sharia Patrols on Horseback Rampage Through Manchester Streets as Police Stand Idly By – Starmer’s Two-Tier Tyranny Accelerates Britain’s Surrender to Islam In a scene straight out of a dystopian nightmare, self-styled “Sharia patrols” on horseback charged through Manchester’s streets on March 4, 2026, chasing down peaceful demonstrators celebrating the end of Iran’s brutal Islamic Republic regime. These vigilantes, reportedly wearing armbands emblazoned with “Sharia Law,” terrorized anti-regime protesters—many from the Iranian diaspora and local Jewish communities—who gathered to mark the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in recent US-Israeli strikes. Greater Manchester Police, under the watchful eye of Keir Starmer’s...
