Donald Trump has just posted on Truth Social:
“I have been telling Prime Minister Keir Starmer, of the United Kingdom, that Leases are no good when it comes to Countries, and that he is making a big mistake by entering a 100 Year Lease with whoever it is that is “claiming” Right, Title, and Interest to Diego Garcia, strategically located in the Indian Ocean. Our relationship with the United Kingdom is a strong and powerful one, and it has been for many years, but Prime Minister Starmer is losing control of this important Island by claims of entities never known of before. In our opinion, they are fictitious in nature. Should Iran decide not to make a Deal, it may be necessary for the United States to use Diego Garcia, and the Airfield located in Fairford, in order to eradicate a potential attack by a highly unstable and dangerous Regime – An attack that would potentially be made on the United Kingdom, as well as other friendly Countries. Prime Minister Starmer should not lose control, for any reason, of Diego Garcia, by entering a tenuous, at best, 100 Year Lease. This land should not be taken away from the U.K. and, if it is allowed to be, it will be a blight on our Great Ally. We will always be ready, willing, and able to fight for the U.K., but they have to remain strong in the face of Wokeism, and other problems put before them. DO NOT GIVE AWAY DIEGO GARCIA!”
As US policy insider Nile Gardiner predicted in an interview with Guido’s Ross Kempsell earlier…
Ben Habib’s Advance UK candidate in the Gorton & Denton by-election has some choice deep dives on his Substack blog. The best one is called “The Continuous Sexual Abuse Of Men” from 2021…
Nick Buckley MBE is a former charity worker who was Reform’s candidate for Mayor of Greater Manchester in 2021. In his 2021 blog:
“Men are being abused every minute of every day in the UK. It starts when they are young through TV, music videos and female celebrities. It is constant and only gets worse as they get older. Men are being groomed into this abuse, but upsettingly, they do not see it as abuse. Someone must speak out and raise awareness of this manipulative and coercive practice.
Who is to blame? The answer is simple. The answer is young beautiful women.”
He goes on in some detail:
“As a man, I have been made to feel uncomfortable on hundreds of occasions because of the outfit worn by a woman. Large ripe breasts on display barely contained by the fabric of a dress. Splits on dresses that take the eye on a journey up a smooth leg, beyond the thigh and to the bare flesh of a hip. Leggings so tight that a shapely pudendum can be admired. The sneaky thong peeking above the waistline of a tight pair of jeans. And who can forget the fixation of rock hard nipples poking through a thin t-shirt when a sudden chill hits. It is commonly accepted that most abusers do not see themselves as abusers.”
Buckley informs readers of the ‘gadgets’ women deploy:
“To keep this abuse moving forward, women are now purchasing aids and gadgets to help in this maltreatment. We all know about the boom in cosmetic surgery and breast implants – lies can be expensive. But did you know that some women now buy plastic hard nipples to wear in their bras? Others buy padded contraptions for in their knickers to give the impression of a wonderfully formed pudendum, aka, a camel toe. Google this – I have not made it up.”
Advance UK and Rupert Lowe’s new party Restore Britain are causing a stir on in those areas to the right of Reform. Lowe and Ben Habib have been bickering on X about who should subsume themselves into whom. Farage continues to make studious attempts to ignore them. Buckley declares towards the end of his sermon: “I do not stuff socks into my underwear to increase the bulge.” A sigh of relief from voters in Gorton & Denton…
All is not well on that great ship of British journalism known as The Guardian. There is dissent in the ranks…
The newspaper has been deeply embarrassed by being caught up in the Labour Together ‘smeargate’ scandal – now imploding as one of the many disasters Starmer is currently fighting. The paper’s political editor, Pippa Crerar, approached left-wing writer Paul Holden and Labour Together critic to accuse him of being investigated by MI5…
As lefty magazine Tribune puts it today:
“Holden has stated publicly that in February 2024, he received an email from Pippa Crerar of the Guardian, informing him that the paper had seen information that he was being investigated by the security services and that the Guardian intended to run the story. Holden stood firm and told Crerar that the claim was defamatory and warned that he would sue if it were published. The story then evaporated, and Holden heard nothing whatever from the NCSC. One can only speculate how the security services regarded these attempts to draw them into political disputes.”
“This is a total ****show“, one Guardian reporter crowed to Guido, complaining that the paper should have had nothing to do with the now infamous ‘smeargate’ document provided to Labour Together by consultancy Acpo. The paper’s journalists – who consider themselves paragons of moral rectitude – are now asking how it can continue to cover Starmer at all. Would never have happened under former Guardian associate editor Seumas Milne…
Guido has obtained hundreds of emails from inside the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and across government pertinent to Starmer’s Chagos deal. The documents, released under Freedom of Information laws, disclose the inside story of how the Chagos giveaway became an immediate priority for Starmer, and how Labour political appointees ordered Whitehall to push it through. Over the coming days, Guido will be publishing this correspondence as part of ‘The Chagos Files’ series…
Keir Starmer’s National Security Adviser Jonathan Powell was appointed ‘PM’s Envoy for the BIOT sovereignty negotiations’ on 6 September 2024. We know this because that was the date given to Parliament in a written answer…
However, Guido’s ‘Chagos Files’ reveal Powell was actually engaged on the Chagos issue at least a month prior to his appointment as a government official. An email from an FCDO civil servant to Powell sent on 6 August 2024 reads: “It was a pleasure to meet you on Friday. I do hope you are enjoying your break away. As requested, I am forwarding the below Mauritian news report (with attachment) from our High Commission in Port Louis for your info. I will forward these as they come through (usually daily or every other day).” In other words, Powell held meetings with civil servants while still a private citizen…
Powell was in receipt of government meetings and information prior to his formal appointment. At the time, he was working for his controversial consultancy Inter Mediate. The email, and dozens of subsequent press summaries, were sent to his non-government Inter Mediate email address – a potential security breach. Other emails show multiple Inter Mediate employees being copied into official government emails prior to Powell’s appointment…

The meeting between Powell and the FCDO civil servants from the ‘Overseas Territories and Polar Directorate’ to discuss Chagos took place barely a month after the 2024 general election, which was held on 4 July 2024. These emails contradict accounts given by Labour ministers to Parliament, and will raise further questions over the role of Powell and his private consultancy…
Guido’s Ross Kempsell sat down with the Heritage Foundation’s Nile Gardiner, fresh off the flight from Washington DC to London to discuss how the outcome of the Chagos deal is not yet settled. Starmer may well be throwing everything at it, but President Trump has still not made up his mind…
Even as the State Department issues quotes that the No10 spin operation exploits to suggest the deal is done, Nile gives Guido the inside scoop on how the deal is playing out in America’s capital. Watch here…

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.”
