Sir Keir Starmer is under major fire this afternoon after he refused to rule out clobbering pensioners even more in the forthcoming Budget. At Prime Minister’s Questions, Tory MP Louie French rose to demand answers around rumours the government may be planning to withdraw two further crucial support measures from older people. Mr French specified pensioners’ free bus passes, and the single person council tax discount. Sir Keir ducked the simple question, replying: “As he knows very well, I am not going to preempt the Budget. It will all be set out in due course.” With a casual wave of...

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has accused the Prime Minister of presiding over a two-tier policing and prisons system in a furious Commons clash. Around 1,750 people were expected to be let out on Tuesday in a bid to ease overcrowding. The Reform leader said at Prime Minister's Questions (PMQs): “Yesterday we witnessed some extraordinary celebratory scenes outside Britain’s prisons, where in some cases serious career criminals were released. This to make way for, yes, rioters, but equally those who have said unpleasant things on Facebook and elsewhere on social media. “Does the Prime Minister understand there is a growing...

Eight arrests have been made as pro-Palestinian demonstrators marched through central London in protest at the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas. Thousands of campaigners set off from Piccadilly Circus shortly after 1.30pm on Saturday, with the march passing alongside Hyde Park before ending on Kensington Road. The Metropolitan Police said in a post on X that the arrests were for a range of offences, including those under the Public Order Act.

Fresh off the crackdown on so-called “keyboard warriors” over social media posts connected to the recent anti-mass migration riots, leading leftist politicians in Britain are beginning to demand for new speech restrictions on the internet. Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, whose neo-liberal Labour Party government enacted some of the strictest speech laws in modern British history, has joined the chorus of commentators demanding a new crackdown on social media.

Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign is recruiting Deborah Mattinson, a former strategy director to Britain’s far-left prime minister, Sir Keir Starmer. Mattinson will head to Washington, D.C., to brief the Harris campaign on Starmer’s Labour Party’s victory in Britain’s July 4 snap election, which returned them to power after 14 years in opposition. Mattinson’s approach focused on persuading traditional Labour voters, who had abandoned the party over its embrace of mass migration and woke ideology, to return to the fold. Harris, who previously advocated far-left policies such as banning fracking, decriminalizing illegal border crossings, and defunding the police, likely hopes a...

The left-wing Labour Party government in Britain announced Monday that it will be suspending dozens of arms export licences to Israel over concerns of UK weaponry being used to violate human rights in Gaza. Foreign Secretary David Lammy told the House of Commons that the British government will be suspending 30 of its 350 arms export licences to Israel, including UK-made components used in military drones, helicopters, and aircraft, including fighter jets used by the Israelis. The move comes after months of protests by left-wing activists and a two-month review conducted by the Foreign Office, The Guardian reports. While the...

It's what Muslims do. Once they have a core, they will declare a caliphate and then push outward to increase the size of the caliphate, until they have the whole thing.

Tech companies will be forced to ban fake news from their platforms under plans being considered by the Government in the wake of the riots. Sir Keir Starmer suggested on Friday that the Government would review social media laws as part of efforts to prevent further disorder. The Telegraph understands that ministers are looking at introducing a duty on social media companies to restrict “legal but harmful” content. It could mean that firms are required to remove or suppress posts spreading fake news about asylum seekers or other topics such as self-harm, even if they do not meet the threshold...

The new leftist Labour Party government in Britain announced plans to slash winter energy benefits for around 10 million pensioners while preparing massive tax hikes to fund soaring spending driven largely by mass migration. ... Rachel Reeves — the head of the Treasury Department — claimed that she “did not want to have to do this” but asserted that the previous Conservative government of Rishi Sunak had left a £22 billion “black hole” in Britain’s finances... This deficit was exacerbated by illegal immigration and the asylum system, the overspend on which rose to £6.4 billion this year alone. The chancellor...

The legislation by the Prime Minister marks a return 'Keir Starmer revealed the true scale of his radical “big brother” plans for power that will lead to higher taxes on middle Britain, Tories warned. In a King’s Speech setting out Labour’s top priorities, a record 40 bills that will introduce major planning reforms, nationalise rail and impose new French-style workers’ rights on employers were outlined.

When the liberal Labour Party swept into power in the UK elections recently, conservatives were gritting their teeth and waiting for what was anticipated to be a dramatic lurch to the left in the country's policies. But one of the first initiatives they announced is diametrically opposite of that approach. The Tories had previously imposed a ban on administering puberty-blocking drugs like Lupron to children as part of gender-transitioning treatment, but that initial ban is set to expire in September. Rather than reversing it, the Labour Party is currently holding hearings with a goal of extending the ban or even...

On his first day in office, newly elected Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer reportedly scrapped the plan to send illegal boat migrants to Rwanda rather than putting them up in hotels in Britain. The scheme to send illegals to have their often spurious asylum claims in processing centres in the East African nation of Rwanda first put forward by ex-PM Boris Johnson in 2022 to deal with the migrant crisis in the English Channel has been abandoned by the left-wing Labour government on its first day, a party insider told The Telegraph.

The U.K. Blowout: Mark Steyn’s View [Updated]Mark Steyn comments on yesterday’s U.K. election. His thoughts are consistent with Scott’s, but expressed in Mark’s unique voice:Across the United Kingdom almost every constituency voted for lefties of various stripes – not just victorious Labour lefties, but also Scots nationalist lefties, Irish republican lefties, eco-lefties, Islamo-lefties and, of course, duplicitous pseudo-conservative lefties: you can get it in any colour as long as it’s red. So, if you’re one of those Britons concerned about, say, transformative mass migration or the right to freedom of speech, things are going to spend the next few years...

It's not like they really had a choice the way their system is set up and the almost total lack of appreciable differences between the two main parties. The 'conservative' Tories had held the reins of power for 14 increasingly shaky years, the last two under the inept and effete Rishi Sunak.The final nail in Sunak's projectile-studded political coffin was his tone-deaf early scuttle back to England from the 80th anniversary Normandy ceremonies. Sunak did so as not to miss a friendly - although God knows he needed one - prearranged television interview. It was inconvenient for his flailing camping...

LONDON — Populist lawmaker Nigel Farage on Friday won his first-ever seat in the U.K.'s parliament as he looks to shake up the country's politics with his right-wing Reform UK party. The win by the Brexit proponent follows seven failed attempts to become a member of the British parliament, although he has served as a (pro-Brexit) member of the European Parliament. "My plan is to build a mass national movement over the course of the next few years and hopefully be big enough to challenge the general election properly in 2029," Farage said after the result was announced. The result...

The defeated leader of the Conservative Party, which suffered its worst election result in well over a century overnight, has said he is stepping down from power and will also give up control of what remains of his political faction. “I have heard your anger, disappointment and I take responsibility for this loss,” said Rishi Sunak on Friday morning at the podium in front of Downing Street. The Prime Minister acknowledged the country has given a clear signal that it wants change, and said he would go to King Charles III to tender his resignation. The Prime Minister immediately got...

Labour Leader Keir Starmer poised to become Britain's next prime minister. British voters frustrated by a sluggish economy voted to oust their conservative party from power after 14 years of rule, and turn to liberal Labour Leader Keir Starmer to be their next prime minister. Exit polls showed the Labour Party was poised for a landslide victory, ending Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's turbulent tenure. "To everyone who has campaigned for Labour in this election, to everyone who voted for us and put their trust in our changed Labour Party - thank you," Starmer wrote on the X social platform after...

Abed Abubaker is a terrorist supporter. He publicly celebrates the murder of Jews and justifies the slaughter of civilians. His immediate family supports terrorism. His cousin is an Islamic Jihad terrorist. Abed’s best friend’s father was a Hamas enforcer. How did the BBC fawn over him and give him so much unchallenged airtime on at least four separate occassions? So here is a legitimate question: How many times can the BBC produce fake news or be caught platforming terrorist supporters before it justifiably gets labelled as a Hamas propaganda website? I have been doing what I can to highlight the...

Parliament has five new independent Pro-Gaza MPs - including Jeremy Corbyn - who won seats after squeezing the Labour vote in Muslim areas by campaigning for a Free Palestine. Barrister Ayoub Khan, who quit the Lib Dems over Gaza, is the new MP for Perry Barr who left Labour rival Khalid Mahmood close to tears in a defeat where he used TikTok to harness the youth vote. Local optician Shockat Adam also used Instagram and WhatsApp as he forced out Labour stalwart Jonathan Ashworth MP for Leicester South in another huge shock.
