"Trump has made it his explicit policy to ‘cultivate resistance’ in the UK and elsewhere.

So yes, I think that counts as foreign interference"

This quote is from #SirEdDavey, leader of the UK Lib Dems regarding the #Trump Administration's visa barring of two UK citizens. I TOTALLY agree with him.

He wanted oil
He wanted his own Obama/Bin Laden moment
So he started a chain of events no one can predict and the world is now more fraught and uncertain than it was yesterday.

All because he’s a narcissistic, pathetic piece of shit.

The security of our country is the No 1 priority of our PM.

In the last 14 years, at such a time, we would have had to put our trust in people such as Johnson and Truss.

Starmer arrived at precisely the right time to make the best impact on our Country.

For all Keir Starmer's domestic faults, I feel better knowing he is the PM dealing with international matters at the moment. One wrong move could lead to further disaster, but Starmer is a steady hand when it comes to dealing with situations across the globe.

It’s depressing to see many use the events in today in Venezuela to further their political agenda.

Today isn’t the day to push agendas - it’s a day where our government will quietly assess the situation, consult with European allies & formulate a joint statement.

Trump has intentionally, or unintentionally, given carte blanche to China, Russia, even Iran to do whatever they want. Whenever they want. This is some beginning.

🇻🇪🛢️ Venezuela holds the world’s largest proven oil reserves (~303 billion barrels)
mainly in the Orinoco Belt.

🔹 Sanctions, poor infrastructure, and high heavy-oil processing costs keep production and exports far below potential.

Our Prime Minister has sent out a short new year email message to Labour members & supporters.

It reflects on 2025 wins that will help people this year, sets out the need for people to see change in 2026, & for people to feel hope in the years ahead.

Let's make 2026 the year we push Reform back!
For too long, Britain was stuck. Year after year under the Conservatives, the same injustices repeated themselves - children growing up in poverty, young people held back not by lack of talent, but by lack of opportunity. A sense that nothing really changed, and no one was really listening. This is the year we change that. Because a Labour government should not just manage decline - it should change the country. And in 2026, the choices we have made since the election will begin to be felt in people’s daily lives: in their bills, in their communities, and in the care they can rely on when they need it. People will begin to feel something that has been missing for too long - hope. Not blind optimism, but a grounded belief that Britain can be fairer, stronger, and better than it has been. My Labour government is making that change real. More police on our streets to keep communities safe. £150 off energy bills. The first rail fare freeze in 30 years as we bring our railways back into public ownership. Free breakfast clubs opening in hundreds more schools. New neighbourhood health services. An increase in the National Living Wage worth £900 a year for millions of low-paid workers. And in April, we will scrap the Two Child Limit - lifting 450,000 children out of poverty. That means fewer children going to bed hungry. Fewer waking up in cold bedrooms. Fewer going to school feeling shame because their uniform is worn through or too small. Every child should have the chance to go as far as their talent will take them. That is the promise of a fair society - and I am determined to make it real again. None of this happens by accident. The change we are delivering is only possible because people like you believed Britain could do better - and chose to stand up for that belief. As we begin 2026, I want to thank you for being part of this renewal, and wish you a very Happy New Year. Together, we are getting Britain back on track - and building a country that works for the future. Thank you, Keir Starmer Prime Minister and Leader of the Labour Party
