Welcome to 2026. Where the world order as we knew it seems to be over. What next? Taiwan? Greenland? Balkans?

The U.K. must double down on its relationship with the EU. For it is Europe alone that is now leader of the free world.

Days like this are a stark reminder that the UK undertook Brexit at historically the worst possible moment. Bloc politics is here to stay and fiddlearsing about with 2mm advances towards smoother customs arrangements with the EU is not the leadership Britain needs.

Let's watch our political class bend over backwards to not criticise Trump and for ReformUK to actively cheerlead him.

The inevitable ballooning of the welfare state only has one logical outcome - Universal Basic Income. Once implemented at a sensible level say £2000 a month to every citizen over 21, poverty would be solved and the whole DWP could be abolished. Win win.

People are not just rejecting Starmer personally. They are rejecting the whole project. The relentless inescapability of These Cunts In Particular. The reason people in the press can't see it is because this is their project, that they sweated and bled to force on us, and they can't admit error.
Again: Starmer is less popular than Truss and Johnson because he was supposed to not be this, he was the lifeline people desperately reached out for. But the job of the Labour right is to say, no, fuck you, whoever you vote for, it's just us again. Be grateful, peasants.
In today's episode of Everything Is America Now, here's Starmer's disgraced ex-director of political strategy blaming Labour's failures on a Brit version of the US Deep State, made up of NGOs, activists, lawyers & regulators.

If this sounds like far rightism à la Cummings, that's because it 100% is

Want to know what the UK would look like under Farage?

Look at the US right now.

The US far-right *is* the UK far-right, with the same people pulling all the strings on both sides of the Atlantic. The useful idiots are different, but the ideas, the tactics, and the funding are the same
Well spotted on the date.

In his emails to Epstein in mid November 2018 Bannon claims to have met up with Rees Mogg, Farage and Boris Johnson to keep Brexit on track and defeat Theresa May. Farage denies this…. And yet….

When the president of the United States calls the Russian premier for talking points before a meeting,

AND calls him immediately after with a report on the meeting,

He is working for the Russian premier.

Every businessman knows this is how subordinates act.

Trump is subordinate to Putin.

There is no amount of appeasement that could satisfy the current US admin. The US will continue to interfere in UK elections until it gets a Reform UK Government, which would turn the UK into a US protectorate colony.

We all know this to be true and is clearly the end goal of Reform UK.
As I (and thousands of other people) predicted, Labour's non-deal with the USA wasn't worth the paper it isn't printed on.

Starmer set Britain up to be Trump's chew toy.

Absolutely catastrophic to have traded our EU membership for this turbocharged farce.

A senior Conservative MP has opened the door to a coalition with Reform UK before the next election.

Matt Vickers, the deputy Tory chairman, told a presenter to “come back and ask” about a pact before the general election in 2029 if his party’s fortunes had not improved.
