Sir Keir Starmer has told the new leaders of Syria that they must renounce terrorism and violence following the collapse of Bashar al-Assad’s regime. Speaking as he arrived in the Gulf for trade talks, the Prime Minister said it was “very early days” when asked whether his Government would engage with the Syrian rebel group that has overthrown Assad. He welcomed the fall of Assad’s “barbaric regime”, and said: “We do need a political solution, and that’s what we are talking to regional allies about. It is a good thing that Assad has gone, a very good thing for the...

Keir Starmer really doesn’t want to end up like Joe Biden. After a bumpy five months in office, the U.K.’s center-left prime minister will use a major speech on Thursday to shift focus from the abstract goal of boosting U.K. economic growth to the more tangible target of making voters feel better off. In doing so, his administration has one eye on the fate of the U.S. president, who could boast enviable GDP figures — but still faced the wrath of voters, pinched by high inflation, who instead backed the return of Donald Trump. In his speech, Starmer will promise...

Keir Starmer has been in office for only five months, but it is already clear that his Government will be the worst in half a century. The die is cast: the Prime Minister is doubling down on every mistake, every prejudice, every tenet of the failed orthodoxy that has ruined Britain, probably because he is a true believer. He cannot and won’t change, seemingly oblivious to his abominable poll ratings, yet his inability to get anything right is truly staggering. Even those of us who predicted Starmer would be a disaster have been stunned by the speed of his implosion,...

Dominic Cummings reveals the shocking, but not unexpected truth about the UK political system being controlled by the Deep State. In this must-watch video, Bev Turner explores how corporate corruption, global elites like Bill Gates, and powerful financial institutions like BlackRock are manipulating UK politics behind the scenes. Is democracy just an illusion? Find out how the Deep State impacts government decisions and why it’s time to question the system.

Sir Keir Starmer warned Donald Trump on Monday night that he would not side with America against the EU, despite calls from the president-elect’s allies to choose between Brussels and Washington. In a major foreign policy speech, the Prime Minister said it was “plain wrong” to suggest that Mr Trump’s return to the White House meant Britain had to get closer either to Europe or the US. He vowed instead to build bridges to both, promising to “invest more deeply than ever in this transatlantic bond with our American friends”, and to “rebuild our ties with Europe too”. The speech...

“A failure on this scale isn’t just bad luck, it isn’t a global trend or taking your eye off the ball – no, this is a different order of failure,” the prime minister continued. “This happened by design, not accident. Policies were reformed deliberately to liberalize immigration. Brexit was used for that purpose, to turn Britain into a one-nation experiment in open borders.” Following Brexit, net migration reached a previous peak of 764,000 in 2022. In 2015, before the referendum passed, net migration totaled to no more than 333,000. The latest immigration numbers are higher than previously thought.

Starmer does multiple screw ups and fails to remedy them, especially farmers and inheritance tax, heating allowance for seniors, and lawfare against opposition, national insurance, etc.

Keir Starmer admitted he must bring down immigration today after shock figures showed the annual record has been smashed again. The PM insisted Britain can no longer be a 'soft touch' after huge revisions to official data showed net inflows were 906,000 in the year to June 2023. Arrivals in the 12 months to June this year were 728,000 higher than those leaving the country. In itself that was almost as much as the previous long-term immigration record. But the bar has been dramatically shifted upwards by the Office for National Statistics, with net migration for the year to June...

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has ruled out calling another general election, but said he is “not surprised” some people who did not support Labour might want a second poll. A petition on Parliament’s website calling for another election had by Monday night been signed by more than 2.4 million people. “I believe the current Labour Government have gone back on the promises they laid out in the lead-up to the last election.” Asked about the petition on ITV’s This Morning programme on Monday, Sir Keir said: “Look, I remind myself that very many people didn’t vote Labour at the...

The doctor behind the so-called Sarco “death pod” has said he will bring his invention to Britain if assisted dying is made legal. Dr Philip Nitschke, 77, has said he is ready to launch in Britain a 3D-printed portable machine that floods with nitrogen gas at the press of a button, should Labour MP Kim Leadbeater’s assisted dying Bill become law. The Private Member’s Bill is due for its second reading in the House of Commons at the end of next week.

The last time MPs voted on the question of assisted dying - nearly three quarters were against it. Nine years later - polling suggests two thirds of the country would back a change in the law. That ratio is mirrored in the number of cabinet ministers who've so far publicly declared their position, with 10 for and five against (only nine have obeyed the instruction from Cabinet Secretary Simon Case not to get involved). But the bill's cabinet opponents have made some of the most high-profile interventions in the debate. Health Secretary Wes Streeting and Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood are...

Charley Hull of Britain, a rising LPGA golf star and the world’s 12th-ranked female golfer, has confessed she would rather President-elect Donald Trump was running her country instead of left-wing Labour Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer. The golfer was recently seen busting out the Trump Dance during the final round of The Annika as she battled the world’s top female golfer, Nelly Korda. On Thursday, Fox News reports Hull addressed the dance and her feelings about the president-elect, calling him “brilliant” and a “legend.” “I love Trump. I think he’s brilliant,” Hull said at the CME Group Tour Championship at...

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer characterized Russian objections to having British Storm Shadow missiles fired deep into their country as "irresponsible rhetoric that will not deter us from supporting Ukraine. Putin's talk of a lowered threshold for a nuclear strike is a bluff that I'm calling right here and now." Not to be outdone by Starmer, the addled occupant of the White House authorized Ukraine to fire powerful long-range Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) into Russia. "We need to Trump-proof the investment we've already made in this war so it can't be squandered by the incoming administration," Biden said. "This...

Elon Musk has hit out at the Labour government over its plans to hit some farmers with inheritance tax as those from the agriculture industry plan huge protests. Chancellor Rachel Reeves unveiled the new policy in the Budget, meaning that from 2026, inheritance tax relief for business and for agricultural assets will be capped at £1million. Many farmers are furious as this could see them hit with a huge tax bill when their farms are passed down to family members, even risking putting them out of business. But Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has defended the policy, saying he is...

Sir Keir Starmer told the Welsh Labour conference he would defend Labour’s Budget “all day long” as farmers protested against inheritance tax changes outside the venue. Hailing a “new era” of Labour Wales and Labour Britain “pulling in the same direction”, the Prime Minister said the Welsh branch had “carried the torch” for the party during 14 years of Conservative rule in Westminster. In his first address as Prime Minister to the conference, Sir Keir praised the election of 27 MPs in July, making Wales a “Tory-free zone” . As he spoke, farmers unhappy with the changes to inheritance tax...

Police in the U.K., who I’m assuming have run out of stabbings to look into, are now investigating a nine-year-old boy for calling his classmate a “retard.” That’s according to The Times, which did an investigative dive of their own into some of the “non-hate crime incidents” U.K. cops had recorded in the interest of “public safety.” (And yes - this is the same country currently jailing people for making "offensive" social media posts.) This newest insanity is all thanks to the U.K.’s recently implemented Non-Hate Crime Incidents law, which, according to government guidance, mandates that police investigate reported “incidents”...

Sir Keir Starmer last night denied he was too left-wing to get on with Donald Trump as the Government faced more embarrassment over Labour MPs' previous comments about the returning President. The Prime Minister insisted they had a positive phone call after this week's election and that the special relationship between the UK and US is more important than ever. He was asked by reporters at the European Political Community summit in Hungary yesterday about claims that Mr Trump had privately described him as 'very left-wing', suggesting relations between the administrations would be strained. Sir Keir replied: 'I had a...

Sir Keir Starmer said allies must “step up” support for Ukraine, as he met the country’s president amid uncertainty about the future of US backing for Kyiv after Donald Trump’s election victory. The Prime Minister told Volodymyr Zelensky the UK had an “unwavering” commitment to help the country defend itself against Russia’s invasion during bilateral talks at a European Political Community summit in Hungary. Sir Keir also said the deployment of North Korean troops to Russia was “proof of Putin’s increasing desperation” and that the UK would stand with Ukraine “for as long as it takes for Russia to withdraw”....
