Keir Starmer telling us all how he’s going to spend our money as if he’s some kind of philanthropist.

Dear Mr Miliband
We're planning on a short break holiday soon
But I can't see where I put the wind power into the car to get us to the airport.
Nor where the airline are going to put the solar power into their Airbus
We need petrol and jet fuel
You've stopped us getting them

McSweeney might have been moved out of the spotlight but his wife Imogen Walker is very much at the heart of the government as Rachel Reeves’ Parliamentary Private Secretary and as a government whip. She would have been involved in the suspension of Karl Turner who has been a constant and fearless critic of her husband’s wheeling and dealing.

Reform support is waning. How do I know? It is because they are increasing desperate in their insistance that they have a lot of support.
Like Alpha people and clever people, popular companies are not the ones telling you they are.

Every venue. Full. Every town and county. Full of Reform supporters. Every poll. Reform leading. Every day. Membership rising. And everybody else is terrified. How do I know? Because my notifications are full of bots and anonymous trolls bad mouthing Reform. How do I know they're bots and trolls? Because they all have silly childish made up names and loads of random numbers at the end. And they have nothing sensible to say. 🙄🤣

Keir Starmer doesn't get the irony of posting this on April 1st.

🚨 BREAKING: STARMER SAYS “NOT OUR WAR” — AND THE WORLD JUST NOTICED
Keir Starmer has made his position clear:
“This is not our war. We will not be drawn into it.”
That is not strength.
That is retreat.
While the United States moves to neutralise a growing threat…
Britain steps back.
Let’s be clear about the reality:
The UK has refused to join offensive operations
Refused deeper involvement
And prioritised “de-escalation” messaging over action
At the very moment global stability is being tested…
Britain signals hesitation.
This is exactly what President Trump has been warning about.
An alliance where:
America acts
And others hold back
Starmer calls it “not in our national interest.”
But here’s the problem:
If global energy routes collapse…
If instability spreads…
If allies refuse to stand together…
That becomes Britain’s problem very quickly.
Leadership is not about avoiding risk.
It is about confronting it.
And right now, the contrast is clear:
Trump — decisive, strategic, willing to act
Starmer — cautious, reactive, unwilling to commit
The message this sends to the world is dangerous:
Britain cannot be relied upon when it matters most.
And in geopolitics…
That kind of signal doesn’t get ignored.
It gets remembered.

🚨 EUROPE JUST GOT THE MESSAGE — AND IT’S NOT A GOOD ONE President Trump has made it clear: America is finishing its objective… and then stepping back. No more world policing. No more automatic protection. No more guarantees. His words matter: “The Strait… that’s not for us. That’ll be for France. That’ll be for whoever’s using it.” Read between the lines. This is a strategic shift. The United States is signalling: We secured our interests We achieved our objective You are now responsible for yours For Europe — this is a wake-up call. Because for decades: Security was outsourced Energy vulnerability was ignored Military strength was allowed to decline Now reality is returning. Fast. If America steps back: Who protects critical trade routes? Who secures energy supply lines? Who responds when escalation happens again? Europe is exposed. And it has been left exposed by its own leadership. This is not just about geopolitics. This is about consequence. Weak energy policy. Weak defence policy. Weak leadership. All converging at the same moment. And now, when the pressure is rising… The safety net may no longer be there. The world is shifting. And Europe is not ready.

President Trump has called NATO "a paper tiger" and says US membership of the alliance is "beyond reconsideration".
Let's be honest, a US departure from NATO would not weaken the alliance, it would expose that Europe, the UK in particular, has habitually outsourced much of its security.
We must now re-orientate. We must:
- End prevarication and think in terms of threat and time, not insist on time consuming processes.
- Prioritise the reconstruction of our neglected military capabilities over nice to have policies such as net-zero and increased welfare
- Start immediately to build sovereign capability, rapidly and at scale
- Align political intent with military reality - something British politicians have failed dismally at doing, but without which the UK and our interests will be unprotected.
