Sir Keir Starmer’s hopes of agreeing a free trade deal with the US could be at risk over a free speech row. The US state department issued a statement on Sunday saying it was “concerned about freedom of expression in the United Kingdom” in relation to the case of an anti-abortion campaigner. It said it was “monitoring” the case of Livia Tossici-Bolt, who was prosecuted for holding a sign near a Bournemouth abortion clinic reading: “Here to talk if you want.” A verdict in the case is due on Friday. The woman who is being prosecuted for the alleged breach...

With a staccato burst, a horn sounded in the control room of the H.M.S. Vanguard, sending the crew of the nuclear-armed Royal Navy submarine to battle stations. The voice of the commanding officer crackled over the intercom. “Set condition 1SQ,” he said, ordering its battery of ballistic missiles to be readied for launch. It was just a drill, conducted last Monday for a visiting V.I.P., Prime Minister Keir Starmer... Back on a tugboat, taking us to shore in the Firth of Clyde, Mr. Starmer sat alone, staring out a window at the gathering clouds. It has been a defining, if...

Labour faced fresh accusations of a 'two-tier justice system' on Wednesday night amid astonishing moves to give minorities special treatment in the courts. All ethnic minorities and transgender people convicted of a crime should be treated differently under measures due to come into force in less than four weeks. The Conservatives said it could open the door to softer sentences for minorities, and risked making the criminal courts 'anti-white and anti-Christian'. And it reignited a row from last summer, during the riots in the wake of the Southport murders, of various groups being treated differently by the justice system. The...

The first rule of Muslim atrocities in the UK is that you’re not supposed to talk about them. Not long ago the Starmer regime unleashed a ruthless purge against anyone who mentioned that a Muslim terrorist had stabbed a bunch of little girls, declaring that it was a national emergency to shut down any speech on the matter.But the topic of Pakistani Muslim ‘grooming gangs’ and the atrocities they committed against huge numbers of young English girls, and the role the authorities played in covering that up, has once again come to the surface.The British authorities not only enabled and...

Labour’s approval rating has slumped to its lowest ever level in a grim start to the New Year for Keir Starmer. The YouGov survey showed that 63% of voters now disapprove of the government’s performance, compared to just 16% who approve. That gives an overall approval rating of minus 47, down two points on the last poll at the end of December. Separately, the poll also found that 40% of Labour voters disapprove of the government’s performance, compared to just 36% who approve. The findings are a fresh blow for Starmer as he tries to get on the front foot...

Benjamin Netanyahu could be detained if he visits Britain after Sir Keir Starmer backed the International Criminal Court's decision to issue an arrest warrant. The Hague-based court, which Foreign Secretary David Lammy last month said the UK 'supports', today issued warrants for Netanyahu and his former defence minister Yoav Gallant, as well as the leader of Hamas. Britain, along with 123 other members of the ICC, will now be obliged to detain Netanyahu 'on sight' under international law. A spokesperson for Downing Street said the Government respected the court and refused to rule out he would be arrested if he...

Eric Trump says England's prime minister risks 'poisoning' relations with America by interfering in the US election. In a deepening crisis for Sir Keir Starmer, the ex-president's second son told the Daily Mail that it was 'pretty disappointing' to learn that 100 Labour Party operatives had been dispatched from Britain to support Harris' campaign. Eric warned that if dad Donald Trump is re-elected on November 5 - polls increasingly predict he will be - Starmer will find his actions have proved 'counterintuitive' to UK-US relations. He dismissed any influence it could have on voters, saying that a British Kamala Harris...

Musk, the owner of X and Tesla, was omitted from the guest list following controversial social media comments he made regarding Britain’s summer riots, where he controversially claimed civil war was “inevitable.” In response to the snub, Musk recently said on X: “I don’t think anyone should go to the UK when they’re releasing convicted pedophiles in order to imprison people for social media posts.” However, in an interview with Times Radio this morning, Kyle said: “Elon Musk has never come to any of the past investment summits that have been held under the previous government, he doesn’t tend to...

An 11-year-old child has become the youngest person to be arrested for alleged violent disorder during the riots this summer. Cleveland Police said officers had detained a total of 14 people on Wednesday in connection with the rioting. The force said the child arrested is the youngest person yet to be detained on suspicion of violent disorder. Another 11-year-old was previously arrested on suspicion of arson in connection with the riots, police said. “Teams of officers headed out this morning to target those believed to be involved in the disorder,” the force said. “The ages of those arrested were between...

Sir Keir Starmer has confirmed pensioners’ worst fears. There will be no U-turn on his decision to remove the winter fuel payment. He has said it is a choice he “has to make”, a decision he “didn’t want” to make. But this cannot be true. Be under no illusions, this is a cold, hard political calculation. Sir Keir is trying to dress up his political choices as “difficult decisions”, sheepishly blaming everyone but himself. He is trying to take the 10 million pensioners who will lose their annual payment for fools. Removing the winter fuel payment is something he cannot...

A British man has been jailed for “stirring up hatred” at a non-violent anti-migration protest in Leeds, during which he allegedly mocked Muslims and made “slurs” against Allah. Phil Hoban, 48, the founder of the “paedophile hunter” Predator Exposure group, has been sentenced to eight months in prison after pleading guilty to racial abuse towards pro-Palestinian counter-protesters during a non-violent anti-mass migration demonstration in Leeds on August 3rd, the BBC reports. The court heard that during the protest, Hoban was seen imitating the way Muslims pray in “order to mock their religion” and had made supposed slurs about Allah. He...

A top police officer in Birmingham has seemingly admitted that there is a “two-tier” approach from law enforcement towards different ethnicities in Britain, undercutting denials from Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer. Following the emergence of “Muslim people” mobs in England as apparent counter to what’s called “far right” riots, with reports stating some carrying weapons in the Bordesley Green area of Birmingham on Monday, the police appeared to admit they have different standards for different races while trying to explain their failure to prevent the anarchic scenes. When pressed as to why there was such little police presence during the...

Elon Musk has been branded “deeply irresponsible” for stoking tensions in the UK on his social media site X/ Twitter. The multi–billionaire, who bought the tech firm in 2022, clashed with Prime Minister Keir Starmer in a war of words over riots across our country. Mr Musk published a stream of posts on the crisis, sharing videos from right-wing influencers and memes about the UK to his 193 million followers. He branded the PM “two-tier Keir” in reference to accusations of “two-tier policing” in Britain, which the PM has rejected. Last night MPs said Mr Musk could be summoned to...

'We will find you,' police officer warns rioters Rounding off the brief update, Lindsey Butterfield describes violence that occurred at a hotel in Wath upon Dearne, near Rotherham. She says there was a "particularly sickening moment" when a wheelie bin was pushed against a hotel and set on fire with "the clear intent to cause serious harm to the residents and staff".
