"The Prime Minister is expected to strike new border security deal as part of his visit to China, with the government looking to disrupt the supply of small boat engines to people smugglers in Europe." LBC

This has to be a joke? Starmer goes to China to beg for help stopping the small boats. 😂🤡

In Minneapolis and many other communities across the country, we're seeing people come together to peacefully protest and support their neighbors. If you're looking to get involved, here are some ways to help:

So Pedro Sanchez cancels the Golden Visa and asks non-EU nationals to pay 100% tax on property purchases in Spain because we have a housing crises.

One year later Sanchez legalizes 500.000 undocumented migrants who then will have the right to bring family over.

No entiendo nada cariño! 🇪🇸

This is perfect!!! Starmer's approach of "pragmatism" isn't working in our current world. He wants to cherrypick a bit from the EU, the US and now even China. He thinks Brexit Britain can compete with the big powerful blocks. It can't.

Sir Nick Clegg is right - leaving the EU has led to an explosion of red tape, and made us less prosperous, less safe, and less influential. We must repair our relationship with Europe without delay if we want to reverse the damage of Brexit.

"More migrants have come to the UK under the government’s flagship ‘one in, one out’ scheme than have been deported to France" Independent

“One of the first problems the scheme ran into was advertising the new legal route to migrants in France"

Makes you wonder again how silly from the UK to have brexited. Such a huge market.
Europe and India are making history today.

We have concluded the mother of all deals.

We have created a free trade zone of two billion people, with both sides set to benefit.

This is only the beginning.

We will grow our strategic relationship to be even stronger.

Spain is going to make up to 600,000 illegal immigrants *legal* if they somehow can prove they were for at least 5 months in the country up to the end of 2025. But Spain doesn't want people from outside the EU buying properties because of a lack of housing.

Total joke 🇪🇸🤡

And in more news you can now travel for FREE on the Catalan Rodalies trains for ONE MONTH? Why? Because the system and network keeps on collapsing, and may not even be safe. So let's offer free rides 😂🤡
Shocking! More train chaos in Catalonia. Last night Rodalies (trains) announced the service would partially resume after nearly one week of chaos. I received a text saying on 25/1. That was wrong they meant 26/1 and they sent another text. Just a good hour ago all SUSPENDED again. Fire them all! 🤡🤡🤡

"Sir Keir Starmer is planning to make Brexit the key dividing line at the next general election" Independent

I believe it when I see it. Starmer? Haha. Actually it doesn't mean any rejoining of anything. Just more waffling about *closer ties* and more *cherrypicking*. Totally unconvincing 🤡

"PS - The fact that the media was informed of the NEC decision before I was tells you everything you need to know about the way the Labour Party is being run these days.

You would think that over 30 years of service would count for something but sadly not. 🤷🏻‍♂️" Andy Burnham

"Starmer’s constipated, uninspiring leadership"

Oh I love this constipated. He could do with a 'Abführmittelarztverschreibung' - Laxative Doctor Prescription 🤣
The problem we have, and it affects all of the important things HMG needs to do is, as Chris described in his last blog, "Starmer’s constipated, uninspiring leadership"

He is completely unsuited to the times we live in, by the time he realises what he needs to do the opportunity will be gone

"The selections for Labour candidates needs to be more democratic and we should end NEC impositions of candidates. Local Party members should select their candidates for every election." Keir Starmer, Feb 4, 2020

But not in 2026 when I'm Prime Minister obviously not then says 'Democratic Keir' 🤡
January 25, 2026 at 3:43 PM
Andy Burnham has been BLOCKED by Labour standing in the by-election.

How very democratic by Keir Starmer and Labour! One more reason, if you need one, not to vote for this shite party.

The world as we knew it has gone.  But we can influence what comes next.  Rejoining the EU is no longer an academic issue nor a decision borne of nostalgia.  It’s a matter of political necessity

Jack, as a UK citizen you won't feel it, but for many of us EU citizenship is very real. Not just for benefits like FOM, but most of all the sense that wherever I am in the EU, I am still 'home' with all the warmth and security that implies (and which is a function of the EU, not just of geography).
