Some older, wizened co-conspirators may remember Change UK from the Brexit years. Born: 2019. Died: 2019…
The website has remained live since CHUK was dissolved by Anna Soubry following Boris’ election win. It has just been hijacked by some casino promotion slop…
Anna Soubry’s likeness is now promoting unregulated online casinos on the website: “These sites let you have fun without disclosing your personal details. Thus, such no verification casinos make gambling smooth and fast, creating an immersive experience. Impressively, such sites cater to UK players, providing enhanced game quality and security.” It was always going to end this way…
Analysts at top American investment bank Jefferies have predicted that Keir Starmer will leave office before the end of July. Starmer is bracing for a bruising May locals after a string of scandals and U-turns…
In a note to clients, the bank predicts there is a 60% Starmer will be ousted by summer:
“If Starmer stays, it is likely to be through concessions to the left-leaning camp of Labour. If Starmer goes, he is likely to be replaced by a left-leaning candidate. Unfortunately, we are at a stage where further tax rises are becoming counterproductive and would be a negative for growth. Either scenario would be negative for the fiscal picture in the UK.”
If you thought Starmer and Reeves were bad…
Labour MPs are increasingly open to the prospect of Rachel Reeves’ removal in a Starmer last gasp reshuffle. The Chancellor has attempted to bounce back following her removal from the China trip and subsequent disappearance from screens…
Backbenchers report to the i Paper that Reeves is attempting to shore herself up in case of that eventuality with “lots of private outreach, like messaging people after their interventions in debates to say ‘thanks’ or ‘well done’.” Something she would presumably never otherwise do…
The PLP is starting to view Reeves’ shuffling out of the Treasury as a possibility thanks to Starmer having been kneecapped by the soft left. If Rayner, Miliband, and the rest of the soft leftists are even bothered to do a deal with the flailing PM for post-May, Reeves’ head is a likely demand. The backbenchers blame her for most of the screw-ups and some much prefer Miliband…
Starmer and Reeves have long tied themselves together politically. A fast-moving No10 operation began to view the Chancellor as moveable at the beginning of this month. Starmer is a hostage to fortune now – that’s not to say he won’t sacrifice every last ally before his ship goes down…
Greater Manchester Police are investigating the Labour Party over a Gorton and Denton by-election campaign event, according to the Telegraph. Around 600 people at a dinner for south Asian community members were told to hold up posters supporting Labour candidate Angeliki Stogia “if you want to get fed”…
The police are now investigating Labour for the alleged electoral offence of bribing voters with food – called “treating“. The organiser of the event can be heard saying:
“There needs to be a sea of red Angeliki posters in this hall. Friends, there are some people still sat down, not holding the flyers up. This is really important. If you want to get fed, I’ve been told you have to hold one of these up.”
Food fight…
The commander of the IRGC’s Navy said it is ready to close the Strait of Hormuz – the neck into the Persian Gulf – as the second round of indirect talks with the US come to an end in Geneva. According to Iranian media…
Iran is carrying out a large scale drill in the Strait as the US continues its military buildup 700km from the Iranian cost off Oman, which includes the aircraft carrier the USS Abraham Lincoln. The IRGC claims it will close the Straight “upon orders from the country’s senior leadership”…
Hilariously the IRGC is claiming its weapon capabilities in a war with the US “would be entirely different” to the display visible during the drill. We’ve got bigger missiles in the back…
Talks between the US and Iran are considering the country’s nuclear weapons programme, ongoing sanctions, and other wider matters, per US officials. Trump is keeping the pressure up in the face of Iranian attempts at deterrence…
Starmer was read out a list of his 13 U-turns on BBC Radio 2, to which he responded:
“Well, I am a common sense merchant.”
