Zelenskyy: Keir Has His Back!. AI-Generated.
Sir Starmer is heading to Washington next week to meet Donald Trump and has reacted to Trump's labelling Vlodymir Zelenskyy as a "Dictator". Sir Keir sees himself as the transatlantic bridge between Europe and Trump's America. In a way, past British leaders have been a bridge between the USA and Europe. Britain and the USA have always had a close relationship, more so since the end of WW II. British and Americans have bled together on the battlefield. We share so much in common, racially, linguistically, and culturally. Britain essentially gave birth to the USA, we supplied the first settlers. Many Americans today share a DNA heritage from the British Isles. Yes, we fought wars against each other, The War of Independence and the 1812 War. We have had disagreements, however, we remain close. Even Trump and the alleged Martian (maybe?) Elon Musk has British DNA. Trump through his Scottish mother and Musk through a granny from Liverpool.

Europe: Emergency Meeting.
Sir Keir Starmer is heading to Europe to meet in Paris with his European counterparts. The meeting is in response, to US Defence Secretary, Mr. Hegseth, saying "Europe needs to step up and spend more on defending Ukraine". Trump has said Europe must spend at least 5% of its GDP on its defence if the US is to do most of the heavy lifting in NATO. Trump at the end of the day, is a businessman, he runs the US like it is a company. He thinks Europe is taking advantage of the US umbrella. European nations are happy to see the US spend the most on Western defence. For Trump, this is not good enough, he rightly wants Europe to spend more on its defence. Trump is not removing that umbrella, but it's in his mind, to do so if Europe doesn't. It's about Trump putting "America First" and saving money. That's why he has Elon Musk cutting overinflated depts in the US government. However, one thing stands stark, Trump has sanctioned billions of Dollars to be earmarked for Israel. Trump like Biden and all American presidents before him stands shoulder to shoulder with Israel. Why Israel is the exception and Europe not I cannot say.

Alice Weidel: Diary of Madwoman.. Content Warning.
At first glance, Alice Weidel seems like a character at odds with the Alternative for Germany's policies. She is gay with a female Sri Lankan partner so given the party's often anti - LGBTQ/immigrant rantings how did this occur? Some within the AFG (or AfD in Germany) are anti-feminist, so how did a mere female (not my words) become the leader of the party? Also, she is German-born but commutes from Switzerland. So, technically she is Swiss so you have a foreigner as leader. Despite all these things that surely contradict the edicts of the party, she is their candidate for chancellor. When asked about all these contradictions, Mr. Gauland, a prominent figure within the party seems to brush all this under the carpet. They gloss over their hypocrisy by saying Alice is married (to a woman ). She has two kids and that fits the party's decrees on family values (really?).

Labour: Dealing with Illegals.. Content Warning.
Labour before and after it was elected last July was aware illegal migration/immigration was a topic with voters. Labour as good as its word, has been flying back illegals to their point of origin. Nail bars, restaurants, cafes, and vape shops, have been raided by Home Office Officers. In January, 600 immigration arrests occurred. Labour is attempting to shore up leaking voters preferring the Tories or Reform UK, over this issue. Hence, Labour trumpeted making those 600 arrests as immigration officers visited 800 targets.

A Martial Plan For Gaza?. Content Warning.
The IDF did a good and proper job in Gaza. Bombing everything possible for a normal, life, we take for granted. Imagine living in a bombed- landscape where everything you ever knew has been destroyed! How many of us would survive and be as resolute as the Gazans?

Fromage Sorry Farage: The Big Cheese!. Content Warning.
Nigel Farage must be a happy man. In the last few days, Reform UK has edged past Labour in a new YouGov poll commissioned by Sky News. Reform UK was slightly behind Labour in a previous YouGov/Sky News Poll. Now the party has topped this poll for the very first time. Whatever you think of Farage, his politics, or his party, he and they have impacted British politics perhaps forever.

Trump, Tariffs, and Tantrums!
Trump is back at it as in Trump 1.0 imposing tariffs on his perceived enemies. This man is obsessed with tariffs. It is his way of bringing those who won't bow to him to heel. Like he got, in his own words, Colombia to bend to his will. Trump has imposed tariffs on Canada and Mexico but they are not taking it lying down. Canada's outgoing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has rallied his nation. Saying Trump has picked on the wrong country in Canada. Trudeau said Trump's tariffs have united all Canadians right or left. And Trudeau's would-be replacement has also said under his watch Canada would likewise impose tariffs on the US. The Mexican President has said Mexico is not going to be a walkover for Trump either. They will impose tariffs on the US. So good luck Donald, you've just pissed off two of your neighbours. They are not going to bow to you and you have started an apparent trade war.
