    Former U.S. President Barack Obama called in at the British Prime Minister’s official residence on Monday, but the office is keeping tight-lipped about the purpose of the one-hour meeting. Barack Obama surprised when he turned up at Rishi Sunak’s front door on Monday, going inside the historic Downing Street residence for an hour and meeting with the Prime Minister. Former President Obama walked up to the famous black door alone but later emerged alongside the U.S. Ambassador to London Jane Hartley.

    The answer is becoming increasingly clear for anyone wondering how Joe Biden is performing his daily duties as “President of the United States.” It appears as though surrogates who were previously working behind the curtain are coming out of hiding, possibly to assure Democrats that despite Joe Biden’s obvious mental limitations, the old guard, anti-American radicals who’ve been running the party for almost two decades, are still in control. Only moments ago, former President Barack Obama was captured on video walking up to the official residence of Britain’s Prime Minister Rishi Sunak at 10 Downing Street in London. BREAKING: Barack...
  • Climate protesters lose legal battle over right to cause damage

    Eco-activists’ claims that they have a right to cause damage as part of their protests have been rejected by Court of Appeal judges. Victoria Prentis, the Attorney General, asked the Court to rule on whether eco-protesters could use a defence of “lawful excuse” to cause criminal damage to banks, businesses and private property and avoid conviction at trial. It follows the acquittal of a protester from a climate action group known as Burning Pink who threw paint at the offices of Greenpeace, Amnesty International, Christian Aid, Friends of the Earth, plus the Conservative, Labour, Lib Dem and Green parties, causing...

    Pity, First Minister Humza Yousaf, the current head chief of the notoriously corrupt SNP, and therefore of Scotland, who took the position not realizing that the country is, dare one say it, white. Which DEI advocate can’t empathize with the Pakistani Muslim’s rage at the persistence of white people in the highlands and all the rest of it too. ... White! White! White people everywhere. Scotland is some 96% white. And Humza Yousaf is running the place. Yousaf’s native Pakistan is 96% Muslim and any Christian who tried running it or just tried announcing it would be murdered faster than...

    Apart from Northern Ireland, the United Kingdom executives are entirely non-white.. It’s certainly an interesting phenomenon. Rishi Sunak is serving as the Prime Minister of the UK. Pakistani Muslim settler Humza Yousaf has taken over as the First Minister of Scotland and Vaughan Gething (pictured above), an immigrant from Zambia, will become the First Minister of Wales. Apart from Northern Ireland, the United Kingdom executives are entirely non-white. It’s certainly an interesting phenomenon that reflects a rate of not only demographic, but political change in the UK, that has become more rapid than the rest of Europe. Part of it...

    A wife has been jailed after a judge deemed the abuse of her husband "the worst case of controlling and coercive behaviour" she had ever seen. Sheree Spencer, 46, would repeatedly threaten to go to the police claiming her innocent husband, Richard Spencer, 47, was abusing her throughout their 20-year marriage. She would even scream for help from their home near York to try to back up her story and trick neighbours into thinking it was true, reports the Mirror. Sheree was only jailed after Richard's friend found nanny cam footage of the abuse and sent it to the cops....

    An interchange of letters between Dina Roubina, a Russian and Israeli writer, and the Pushkin House in London, which invited her to a conference but first asked her to 'clarify her position on Israel'. Op-ed. Recently, the Pushkin House in London, in collaboration with the University of London, invited me to a literary debate broadcast on Zoom. The conversation was supposed to be about my books. I just received this email from the moderator of this meeting. I suggest you read it, as well as my response, which I invite you to share on social networks (Arutz Sheva has decided...

He promised to improve the Welsh NHS, put green jobs at the forefront of the country’s economic future, build more homes and reliable transport systems, drive up education standards and guide Wales to a more prominent position on the world stage.
  • Lee Anderson: Who is the ex-Tory MP now backing Reform?

    The Telegraph ^ | March 16 | Amy Gibbons, POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT and Daniel Martin
    In another dramatic change of allegiances, Lee Anderson, the Labour councillor turned Tory MP, will now bat for Reform in the Red (Blue) Wall. The controversial MP has had a tumultuous few months, first resigning as deputy Tory chairman over the Rwanda Bill and then being sacked from the party altogether over an Islamophobia row. One of the most prominent of the Right-wing “Red (Blue) Wallers” elected in 2019, his defection to the insurgent party founded by Nigel Farage poses a serious problem for Rishi Sunak. Downing Street advisers had seen him as a “secret weapon” in their bid to...

    Foreign state control of British newspapers is to be outlawed, effectively blocking the UAE’s attempted takeover of The Telegraph. Ministers revealed plans on Wednesday “explicitly to rule out newspaper and periodical news magazine mergers involving ownership, influence or control by foreign states”. The move, announced by Lord Parkinson, the culture minister, was made to see off a rebellion being led by a Tory peer and sparked by The Telegraph’s predicament. RedBird IMI, a fund 75 per cent backed by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the UAE vice-president, had positioned itself to take control of The Telegraph and The Spectator...

    Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has resisted opposition calls to return money to a Conservative donor who reportedly said MP Diane Abbott "should be shot". The PM said Frank Hester's alleged comments were "wrong" and "racist". But he repeatedly told MPs Mr Hester had apologised and his "remorse should be accepted". Mr Hester has donated more than £10m to the Tories and in November gifted Mr Sunak the use of a helicopter for a political visit, valued at £15,000. At Prime Minister's Questions, Labour MP Marsha de Cordova asked Mr Sunak directly if he would return the helicopter donation. Ms Abbott...

    Britain’s National Health Service will no longer routinely prescribe puberty blockers to children amid concerns over a lack of evidence on the impact of the so-called gender-affirming drugs. In what is being described as a historical moment, the UK’s state healthcare provider will no longer be prescribing children with life-altering puberty blockers except in exceptional cases or in the context of clinical research. According to a report from the BBC, the decision followed a report which admitted that there were “gaps” in evidence surrounding the use of the controversial drugs on children believed to be experiencing gender dysphoria. The change...

    Comments allegedly made about Diane Abbott by a Conservative donor were "racist and wrong", Rishi Sunak's spokesperson has said. Frank Hester, who has donated £10m to the Tories, reportedly said the MP made him want to "hate all black women". Mr Hester apologised for making "rude" comments but said his words "had nothing to do with her gender nor colour of skin". Downing Street initially declined to describe his comments as racist. But later Mr Sunak's spokesperson said: "The comments allegedly made by Frank Hester were racist and wrong. "He has now rightly apologised for the offence caused and where...

    Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan have been detained in Romania after European arrest warrants were issued by the UK, his representative has said. The allegations, including sexual aggression, cover 2012 to 2015, his team said. The Tate brothers "categorically reject all charges", the statement said. Romanian police said European arrest warrants for two men were issued by UK authorities for sexual offences on Monday. The alleged offences also included exploiting people in Great Britain, the Romanian police statement said. The two men were presented to the prosecutor attached to the Bucharest Court of Appeal, who ordered their detention for...

    The Conservative party’s biggest donor told colleagues that looking at Diane Abbott makes you “want to hate all black women” and said the MP “should be shot”, the Guardian can reveal. Frank Hester, who has given £10m to the Tories in the past year, said in the meeting that he did not hate all black women. But he said that seeing Abbott, who is Britain’s longest-serving black MP, on TV meant “you just want to hate all black women because she’s there”. He also called all his “foreign” workers together to defend himself against online claims that he had made...

    More than £117m will be spent to protect mosques, Muslim schools and community centres in the UK from hate attacks over the next four years, the government says. Home Secretary James Cleverly said the investment would give "reassurance and confidence" to British Muslims. It will be spent on measures including CCTV cameras, alarms and fencing. The announcement comes in response to concerns the Israel-Hamas conflict is fuelling division in the UK. Mr Cleverly said: "Anti-Muslim hatred has absolutely no place in our society. We will not let events in the Middle East be used as an excuse to justify abuse...

    The experimental Holocaust drama, The Zone of Interest, took home the Oscar for Best International Feature, and its director, Jonathan Glazer, used the moment to decry Israel’s attack in Gaza. Expounding upon the film’s themes, Glazer said that his film aimed to reflect the ongoing dehumanization in the present, including Israel and Gaza. “All our choices were made to reflect and confront us in the present, not to say look what they did then, but rather look what we do now,” he said. Our film shows where dehumanization leads at its worst. It shaped all of our past and present.”...

    Earl Spencer, the younger brother of Diana, Princess of Wales, said he was sexually abused as a child at boarding school. In an extract from his memoir, published in the Mail on Sunday, Earl Spencer said he was targeted by a female member of staff at Maidwell Hall, Northamptonshire in the 1970s. Now 59, he alleges the abuse began when he was just 11 years old. Maidwell Hall said it was "sobering" to learn of Earl Spencer's experiences. The school said allegations of sexual abuse had been referred to a "local authority designated officer". Earl Spencer attended Maidwell Hall between...
