The UK government is being very inconsistent when it comes to terrorism and public safety. Small and peaceful protest groups can be treated like dangerous criminals, while foreign military groups that have done serious harm are not labelled as terrorists. This shows a lack of clear thinking and poor decision-making. Labour’s government has already …
There is a bit of a debate going on at present on how many U-turns this Labour government have made since their landslide election victory on 5th July 2024. On LBC radio this morning the presenter mentioned 7 U-turns but The Times of 9th January states that there have been no less than a …
The UK Prime Minister, Sir Kier Starmer, and his cabinet plus his backbenchers are prioritising welfare in the UK over the defence of the nation. This at a time when the UK is under direct threat from Russia in terms of a hybrid war and in terms of outrageous declarations by Putin’s inner circle …

This is a no-no for status quo politicians who like the nasty side of society to remain hidden as to do so supports the status quo upon which their power …
Sir Keir Starmer has spent his first weeks in office fawning over Donald Trump. A state visit, lavish banquets, and even a letter from the King — all choreographed to show that Britain is once again America’s dutiful ally. The Prime Minister dressed it up as a “reset” of the special relationship, a demonstration …
