Nigel Farage angrily tore into Sir Keir Starmer’s record on small boat crossings days after it emerged 10,000 migrants had already arrived on Britain’s shores this year. In a furious Prime Minister's Questions row, the Reform UK leader demanded that Sir Keir finally admit his “smash the gangs” rhetoric was merely an election slogan and not successful in ending the UK’s migration madness. Mr Farage told the House of Commons: “This year, 10,000 young, undocumented males have illegally crossed the English Channel into our country – a 40% increase on this time last year, many coming from cultures that are...

Liberals won 80% of high-immigrant districts in Canada.. Canada's population is now 25% foreign-born, and set to increase .. This is what they want for America ...

A Grammy Award-winning rock star left White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt stunned with his question about free speech and political asylum during Monday’s briefing. Winston Marshall, the former banjoist with British folk group Mumford & Sons, called on President Trump to grant asylum to his fellow countrymen and -women who faced prosecutions over “hate speech” in the UK. Marshall, who left the band in 2021, claimed that people in his country faced “extensive prison sentences for tweets, social media posts and general free speech issues,” before ramping up to his question.

So in the end two-and-a-half years of Pierre Poilievre micro-gatekeeping the Tory party so as not to frighten the horses counted for less in Canadian politics than two-and-a-half hours of Tony Blair having dinner at Lady Rogers' agreeable Michelin-starred River Café in West London. Not a bad Dover sole, should Sir Tony ever invite you to join him so he can pitch you a stint as prime minister of New Zealand or the Netherlands. As to M Poilievre's micro-gatekeeping, here is a fine example of that from close to home: Two years ago the alleged "conservative" leader called the views...

Footage of rap group Kneecap allegedly calling for the death of British MPs is being assessed by counter-terrorism police. A video has emerged of the west Belfast trio at a November 2023 gig appearing to show one person from the band saying: "The only good Tory is a dead Tory. Kill your local MP." The Metropolitan Police also said that another video, from November last year, is being assessed. The footage appeared to show a band member shouting "up Hamas, up Hezbollah" at a performance in London. Kneecap have said on social media that they have "faced a co-ordinated smear...

In yet another sad blow to the will of the people, Romania’s High Court of Cassation and Justice (ICCJ) has ruled to overturn a courageous decision by a local judge that sought to reinstate the annulled 2024 presidential election—an election originally won by the conservative, anti-globalist candidate Călin Georgescu. The nation’s top court sided, unsurprisingly, with the entrenched political establishment, affirming that the Court of Appeal in Ploiești (CAP), Prahova County, had “no jurisdiction” over decisions made by the Constitutional Court (CCR). The ruling is final: a full election re-run will proceed on May 4, with a second ballot on...

Workers at the Hinkley Point C nuclear power plant construction site in the UK have reported a significant rat infestation, raising health and safety concerns. The rat problem is causing disruption to the major energy project and prompting calls for immediate action from trade unions to address the issue. ... The U.K. has ambitious nuclear power plans and is developing several small- and large-scale projects. While opposition, high costs, and other factors have slowed development in the past, EDF has been facing another problem at its Hinkley Point C construction – a rat infestation. In early April, the Unite and...

This is a big week for anglosphere elections: Canada today, Australia on Saturday, and, in between, England's local elections (except for the ones Sir Keir has cancelled) on Thursday. Don't worry, you sensitive types, in none of the three is there the remotest danger of a Trump or an Orbán, a Le Pen or Meloni ascending to power. Incredible as it seems, the Aussie campaign has been even more dispiriting than the Canadian one, with the so-called "right-of-centre" leader, Peter Tweedledutton, alternating between huffing indignantly at the very suggestion that he as any policy disagreements with the leftie incumbent and...

Trans women should not be allowed to use women’s lavatories, the UK’s equalities watchdog has declared. The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has issued interim guidance after the Supreme Court ruled earlier this month that the legal definition of a woman was tied to biological sex. It comes as the Government considers plans submitted by the watchdog last week for a wider overhaul of equality laws aimed at protecting women-only spaces. In an update published on Friday night, the EHRC told employers, pubs, shops and hospitals that they must all act in line with the Supreme Court judgment. “If...

Following the attack, protests erupted in London and other cities in the UK among the Indian and Pakistani diaspora communities. Israeli and Palestinian flags were spotted at demonstrations on Saturday in London between Indian and Pakistani diasporas, following the Islamist terror attack in Indian-controlled Kashmir, which killed 26 people on Tuesday. Following the attack, protests erupted in London and other cities in the UK among the diaspora communities. Unrest between the two communities in the UK has occurred in recent years with a series of brawls and riots between Hindu and Muslim rioters, which some analysts linked to India's defeat...

Keir Starmer is facing a backbench revolt over Donald Trump's planned state visit to the UK later this year. More than a dozen Labour MPs have backed a motion saying the UK president should be barred from addressing parliament when he visits Britain. They argue that it would be 'inappropriate' for him to speak to politicians because of his record of 'misogynism, racism and xenophobia', as well as his comments about Britain and stance on Ukraine. It comes amid widespread anger at Trump's latest attack on Volodymyr Zelensky after he rejected the terms of a Ukraine peace deal that gave...

The US has privately offered to provide security guarantees for Sir Keir Starmer’s “coalition of the willing”, The Telegraph understands. US officials have opened the door to giving intelligence and logistical support for British and European soldiers to back up a Ukraine peace deal from land, air and sea. Donald Trump claimed a peace deal was “pretty close” after Steve Witkoff, US diplomatic envoy, held in-person talks with Vladimir Putin, the Russian president. The development during negotiations is seen by No 10 as a significant breakthrough. The Prime Minister has been pressing Mr Trump for such guarantees for two months....

The Government are appealing to landlords to host asylum seekers, with private contractors working on their behalf, offering five-year guaranteed rent deals. Private contractor Serco - one of three working for the Home Office - are offering five-year guaranteed rent deals to landlords, with the taxpayer footing the bill. Their website states the company is responsible for housing over 30,000 asylum seekers, with an 'ever growing portfolio' of over 7,000 homes. The firm organised an event at a four-star hotel in the Malvern Hills next month, as part of their drive to house more asylum seekers, according to The Telegraph....

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”.

An interesting report from the U.K reflects British government officials who feel their legal position against ‘free speech’ in Great Britain is now part of the negotiations for President Trump’s tariffs. Essentially, the tariff discussion is encompassing more than just tariffs; if the nation does not support traditional freedoms and liberty, they could face stronger tariffs from the USA.The messenger for this dynamic is not coincidentally Vice President JD Vance, who aligns closely with the tech platforms. The tech control agents are bitterly opposed to President Trump’s tariff position, and this nuance is quite possibly a way to give the...

Canada is a proud nation that will “never” submit to foreign domination — but if it is to be ruled by a landed septuagenarian from afar, its citizens would prefer King Charles to Donald Trump, hands down. In fact, Canadians would rather return to the to the British Empire than adopt Trump’s repeated insistence that it become the 51st U.S. state, even with his promises of lower taxes and better security, according to a new poll. The poll, conducted for DailyMail.com by J&L Partners, reveals that a 54 percent majority of Canadians would prefer King Charles III as their head...

Western nations are experiencing a spiritual awakening as church pews fill up and baptismal fonts overflow. From France to Belgium, from the United Kingdom to the United States, a dramatic surge in Christian faith is sweeping across the West—a revival many are calling a “silent revolution” against the failures of globalism, mass migration, and leftist cultural engineering. British conservative commentator Mahyar Tousi highlighted the trend in a powerful new video, reporting on a massive rise in church attendance and adult baptisms this past Easter. With soaring numbers across multiple countries, it’s clear that Christianity is no longer in retreat—it’s fighting...

(IsraelNN.com) Professor Richard Dawkins, a senior British evolutionary scientist and outspoken atheist, drew fire on Monday for saying that Jews “more or less monopolize American foreign policy.” Religious Jews are a small group, Dawkins said, but are “fantastically successful” in lobbying the US government. Dawkins, who is currently in the US in an attempt to promote atheism and fight religious influence, expressed hope that atheists would be similarly successful in determining government policy. A number of Jewish leaders responded immediately, with ADL head Abe Foxman calling Dawkin’s remarks “classic anti-Semitism.” Malcom Hoenlein, a senior official in the Conference of Presidents...

JK Rowling has launched a blistering attack on “coward” Sir Keir Starmer after his U-turn on trans rights. The Prime Minister backtracked on his previous claim that “trans women are women” after a landmark Supreme Court judgment. Sir Keir, who once suggested some women can have penises, declared that a woman is an “adult female”. In a post on X, the Harry Potter author said: “Imagine being such a coward you can only muster the courage to tell the truth once the Supreme Court has ruled on what the truth is.” It comes after the UK’s top court last week...
