Reform UK’s newest MP called for the burqa to be banned in Britain during Prime Minister's Questions. Sarah Pochin, the MP for Runcorn and Helsby, used her first question at the weekly Commons session to ask Sir Keir Starmer if he would follow other European countries that have made it illegal for people to cover their faces in public places. She said: “Given the Prime Minister’s desire to strengthen strategic alignment with our European neighbours, will he, in the interests of public safety, follow the lead of France, Denmark, Belgium and others and ban the burqa?” Her question prompted an...

They are not referring to the hundreds of thousands of migrants--legal and illegal--who have poured out into the streets to protest in support of Hamas. Nope. The UK government has labeled British citizens as supporters of extremist terrorist ideologies if they believe that Western Culture is under threat from the flood of migrants who spend countless hours flooding into the streets waving Hamas flags and screaming about Sharia law. The British state has now declared civic nationalism an extremist ideology. pic.twitter.com/s9OwETEhz0— Lord Bebo (@MyLordBebo) June 8, 2025Seriously.

Sadiq Khan dropped a major hint about his future political ambitions this morning, refusing to deny he has his eye on No. 10 Downing Street. Speaking to American news outlet CNBC, the London Mayor suggested he could do a better job as PM than his mayoral predecessor Boris Johnson. Asked whether he wants a fourth term in City Hall, “I'm enjoying being the mayor of London. I think I've got the greatest job in the world. Is only about a year ago where I won that historic record breaking mandate, so let’s wait and see.” Asked whether he could “see...

The White House has said it is “monitoring” the case of Lucy Connolly in an escalation of free speech tensions with Sir Keir Starmer. State department officials are examining the treatment of Connolly, the wife of a Conservative councillor, who was jailed for 31 months over a social media post about the Southport attacks. Judges threw out an appeal brought by the 42-year-old last week, meaning she will not be released before August. Campaigners raised her case with Marco Rubio, the US secretary of state, as part of a wider effort to challenge what they regard as draconian hate speech...

The British government’s plans to hand control of the strategically significant Chagos Islands to Mauritius are set to be signed off on Thursday, after an 11th-hour legal injunction failed to stop an effort that has been intensely controversial in both the United Kingdom and the United States. Prime Minister Keir Starmer intends to return the islands to the African country, while maintaining control of the US-UK Diego Garcia military base, and the deal is expected be finalized on Thursday. It comes after a High Court judge briefly blocked the move in a ruling made at 2 a.m. local time (9...

May 19, 2025:The somber face of Caitríona Perry reporting on Netanyahu getting basic aid trucks into Gaza. Caitríona Perry is current anchor of BBC America. Just like typical BBC bigoted propaganda "journalists" only so happy if and when they can bombard Israelophobia. They, constantly, stream genocidal Hamas provided or/and controlled footage - to shock. Amazingly they can't show adult terrorists being eliminated. Adults - the key. And of course they wouldn't mention cruel Palestine Hamas using = robbing aid as a controlling power.

A STEYN I-TOLD-YOU-SO MOMENT: As I have written often, the consistent message from the permanent ruling class around the west is that nothing will be permitted to change on anything that matters. Of the two principal popular revolts of almost a decade ago - the Trump election and the Brexit vote - the jury is still out on Trump 47 (America's last chance), but Brexit is dead. A theme of my book The Prisoner of Windsor is that there is no Brexit. It never happened - or, perhaps more precisely, it was never permitted to happen. And so, as the...

Keir Starmer has been posting new policies concerning immigration. Here are a few: "We're charging employers more to recruit from overseas and, if they do, they must prove they are investing in British workers and increasing British skills. That's the fair and right thing to do." "This is my promise to British people: Every area of our immigration system will be tightened up, so we have more control. And migration numbers will fall." "Promise made. Promise delivered." "Under the Tories, nearly one million people came to the UK from overseas between 2019 and 2023. My Labour government is taking back...

Rishi Sunak insisted India's attacks on 'terrorist infrastructure' in Pakistan are 'justified' today. The former PM waded in amid fears the confrontation between the nuclear-armed powers could escalate dramatically. Pakistan has described Delhi's missile attacks as an 'act of war' and responded with shelling on the Indian side of the line of control. However, Keir Starmer has been appealing for calm insisting the rising tensions were a 'serious concern'. In a post on X, Mr Sunak said: 'No nation should have to accept terrorist attacks being launched against it from land controlled by another country. 'India is justified in striking...

Overnight, India claims to have struck nine targets inside Pakistan, as a response to the terror attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir, last month. According to India, its aircraft and drones hit camps belonging to the terrorist groups Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba. Many times over the past 70 years, India and Pakistan have exchanged fire, taken casualties, lost aircraft and ships. And yet those wars, those brief outbreaks of violence, never spiralled. Each one was, from a diplomatic point of view, a tragedy. Some were very big wars, totally forgotten in the West. ... The same may not be true inside Britain. Britain...

Conservatives say Sir Keir Starmer has been “taken for a fool” by Brussels after it emerged the European Union has rejected British pleas for access to migration data which was supposed to be a central part of Labour’s Brexit “reset”. The Government will resume detailed work this week on a new EU deal in preparation for a major summit on May 19, after negotiations were suspended in the run-up to local elections. But the EU has turned down requests for an information-sharing scheme which the UK believes would prove invaluable in the fight against organised crime and small boat crossings....

The UK is on the brink of political chaos, with Prime Minister Keir Starmer's government arresting farmers, protesters, and even voters accused of "non-compliance" with Labour's increasingly unpopular policies. This crackdown began with Labour's new inheritance tax crackdown on farmland, forcing families to sell off their land just to pay the taxman. Over 300 farmers and protesters have been arrested, many without charge. Videos of tearful mothers, elderly landowners, and young agricultural workers being handcuffed and dragged away are now flooding social media, sparking outrage across the country. King Charles, known for his quiet diplomacy, has reportedly warned the Prime...

Sir Keir Starmer has insisted that Ukraine must be allowed to decide the terms of any peace deal with Russia in a challenge to proposals by Donald Trump. The Prime Minister contradicted Mr Trump by saying that the “courageous” Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian president, was not to blame for the failure to strike an agreement ending the war. Sir Keir also refused to back US plans to formally recognise Crimea as Russian in any negotiated settlement with Vladimir Putin, and demanded that Moscow agree to an “unconditional ceasefire”.

First Trump officials were trying to get Europe to accept chlorinated chickens and hormone-infused beef from the United States. Now, it seems they are trying to foist the toxicity of our social media platforms and a laissez-faire approach to harmful content onto Europe, as well. Evidence suggests the Trump administration is targeting content moderation laws in the United Kingdom designed to curb hate speech and misinformation as a part of trade negotiations. Last week, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer acknowledged to Parliament that “a review of online safety rules [is] on the table in trade talks with the United States,”...

When a senior figure in the government called the White House on Wednesday morning to find out how bad Donald Trump’s tariffs were going to be for Britain, information was scant. Even Trump’s aides were in the dark about what he would decide. At 9pm that evening, Sir Keir Starmer sat down in 10 Downing Street and watched the television, just like the rest of us, to discover what the US president had in store. The blanket tariff of 10 per cent on imported British goods was half what Trump slapped on the European Union — but they still wrecked...

Keir Starmer has spoken of how he personally “likes and respects” the US president, Donald Trump, and understands what he is trying to achieve. The prime minister made the comments in an interview with the New York Times, saying: “President Trump has a point when he says there needs to be a greater burden borne by European countries for the collective self-defence of Europe.” He said it was a critical moment for the UK and it would not be right to pick either Europe or the US to side with. “Churchill didn’t do it. Attlee didn’t do it. It’d be...
