My Family left Russia in 1913, just before WW1. Disgusted by our Politicians, the Civil Service and the Media in general.
The BMA seems surprised that if they reject the deal on offer and go on strike their members don’t get what the Government is offering. We have time before Easter weekend to resolve this dispute. A deal on jobs and pay is on the table. @Keir_Starmer 👇🏻 thetimes.com/article/18f9fd…
We fully back the Prime Minister in his determination to keep the United Kingdom out of Israel and the United States war against Iran. Keir Starmer said British troops would not join any ground invasion of Iran. Well done Prime Minister. independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…
Thoughts on Israel new death penalty law?
x.com/JimFergusonUK/… 🚨 BREAKING: STARMER’S WEAKNESS HAS NOW BECOME A DIPLOMATIC LIABILITY President Trump’s message could not be clearer. He believes Britain failed to stand with America when it mattered — and now he is openly warning that the United States may not be there for us in return. Let that sink in. This is not some minor spat. This is not theatre. This is the public humiliation of a British Prime Minister by the President of the United States. And why? Because Keir Starmer chose hesitation over strength. Distance over loyalty. Posturing over leadership. At a moment of rising global danger, Starmer has managed to do the unthinkable: damage the UK’s most important alliance while pretending he is acting in the national interest. He has not looked principled. He has looked weak. He has not looked independent. He has looked unreliable. And in geopolitics, weakness invites contempt. That is exactly what this is. Contempt. The “special relationship” is not sustained by slogans. It is sustained by trust, credibility, and the belief that Britain will stand firm when the stakes are high. Starmer has weakened all three. If President Trump now sees Britain as a fair-weather ally, that is not just embarrassing. It is dangerous. Because serious diplomatic damage has now been done. And it has been done by a man who behaves less like a leader and more like an administrator managing decline. Britain needed strength. Britain got Starmer. And now the world can see the cost.
