Britain is caught in a double‑front backlash — from Washington and from Jerusalem — after Andy Burnham’s government moved to ban trade with Israeli West Bank settlements, a policy framed as a moral stand but already triggering geopolitical blowback. Burnham’s move triggered a furious US backlash, with Ambassador Mike Huckabee accusing the UK government ofContinue reading “Britain Took A Stand — And Got Burned”

Care Leavers Hit 18 And Fall Off A Cliff
Care leavers are dying young because the system drops them the moment they turn 18 — a “care cliff” that leaves teenagers suddenly alone, unsupported, and unsafe. Chloe Pomfret’s story is one of those moments that stops you cold: a 16‑year‑old, suicidal and homeless, taken to A&E by her teachers — and told to goContinue reading “Care Leavers Hit 18 And Fall Off A Cliff”
Richard Tice Slammed Andy Burnham On GMB
On Good Morning Britain, Reform UK MP Richard Tice launched a scathing on-air rant aimed at Andy Burnham, accusing him of doing a “bad job” on government spending and borrowing costs. Tice interrupted the presenters, slammed Burnham’s handling of borrowing costs, and mocked him as a politician who’s been “in nappies” since entering politics. That’sContinue reading “Richard Tice Slammed Andy Burnham On GMB”
Opt‑Out Means Nothing If The System Opts You Back In
NHS England says you can “opt out”, but the Palantir platform ignores it, overrides GDPR objections, and still gives contractors access to identifiable patient data. MPs and senior civil servants aren’t “officially exempt”, but their medical records sit in protected systems that never touch Palantir, creating a quiet, practical exemption for them and not forContinue reading “Opt‑Out Means Nothing If The System Opts You Back In”
Bathroom‑Floor Britain
Terminally ill woman died on a bathroom floor as more than half of nurses say they’re now forced to treat patients in unsafe, undignified spaces. A Marie Curie survey has revealed a stark and deeply distressing reality: terminally ill patients across the UK are being cared for in corridors, cupboards, offices and other makeshift spaces,Continue reading “Bathroom‑Floor Britain”
Tight Finances Always Hit The Disabled
MP John Healey’s warning that “public finances look difficult” is grounded in a very real fiscal squeeze — and yes, the pressure is being directed toward disability benefits, especially PIP. PIP has become the only rising part of working‑age welfare, and with Paul Johnson warning of an “extraordinary surge” in disability spending, the Treasury isContinue reading “Tight Finances Always Hit The Disabled”
Smart Growth Zones: Priced Out, Pushed On
Andy Burnham is being urged to replace council tax with a new property levy in the Budget. Would you support this change? A shift from council tax to a modern property‑value levy would make the system fairer for lower‑value homes but significantly pricier for many London households, so support really depends on whether you prioritiseContinue reading “Smart Growth Zones: Priced Out, Pushed On”
They Grab The Perks And Lecture The Public
Unelected Lords swan in, grab £342 tax‑free for a quick sit‑down, and toddle off — meanwhile pensioners are told to knit themselves a jumper and hope for the best. Guy Fawkes had the right idea about being fed up — but honestly, at this point, just fumigating Westminster with a giant can of “Anti‑Corruption Spray”Continue reading “They Grab The Perks And Lecture The Public”
Not Enough Protection. Not Enough Action
The Government says it’s protecting kids online, but half the time it feels like they’re just shouting “Be careful!” into the Wi‑Fi. It’s not safe for children online,” says the NCA — which is the policing equivalent of your smoke alarm screaming while the Government calmly waves a tea towel at the toaster. Britain’s FBIContinue reading “Not Enough Protection. Not Enough Action”
Club Med Wethersfield: Perks Up, Taxpayers Down
Essex’s council leader toured the Wethersfield asylum site expecting bleak barracks and instead discovered what looks suspiciously like Club Med for the perpetually displaced — a gym, football pitch, snack bar and a fleet of 17 minibuses chauffeuring residents into town like they’re on an all‑inclusive getaway. Welcome to Holiday Camp UK, where 800 veryContinue reading “Club Med Wethersfield: Perks Up, Taxpayers Down”
