What actually happened is the UN Security Council adopted the US plan to end the war in Gaza and to setup a multi-national stabilization force in the Palestinian region.

Yamtits decided to name the overseers the “Board of Peace” and declared himself the chairman.

He's a ghost fighting a ghost. But I believe many of the others - the Streeting/ Mahmood/ Glasman/ McSweeney crew - are pushing these measures not because Reform wants them but because they do.

Let's say for the sake of argument that his policies are "successful" (say in reducing the number of UK asylum applications).

Does he think the press will simply sit back and applaud him?

No chance. They'll just invent a new bogeyman – a new epidemic – that he's to blame for

They were given a mandate to be "anything but the Tories." That's the only real mandate they can claim.
And in that, they've failed spectacularly.

Eternal Labour Voter here: I will never vote for Labour again due to her bigotry

Mahmood: I won't listen to Labour voters, only Reform ones who won't vote for us

Going to leave you with a Home Office chart from their most recent asylum stats so you can decide whether the UK is a magnet for asylum seekers with a uniquely generous asylum system www.gov.uk/government/s...

And again, the questioning is idiotic.

If Trump actually wanted to release the Epstein Files, he could do it any time. Today. Right now.

Instead, he shut down Biondi in the spring, got his lackies to shut the House down this fall, tried to strongarm the GOP votes on the discharge petition, etc.
