BORIS Johnson’s WILD Texas Safari: Ostrich Attack Sparks Hilarity
— Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson had a surprising encounter with an ostrich during a family trip to a Texas safari park. The seven-foot-tall bird, known for its strong legs and sharp claws, approached Johnson’s vehicle. As he extended his hand, the ostrich bit him, causing a startled reaction from the former leader.
Johnson’s wife, Carrie, caught the incident on video and shared it on Instagram. The footage shows Johnson calling the ostrich over while one of his children leans toward the window. The bird then sticks its neck into the car and bites him, leading to an exclamation of surprise from Johnson.
The unusual encounter adds humor to Johnson’s vacation story as he is more used to verbal attacks in politics than physical ones from wildlife. Despite the shock, no serious injuries were reported from this safari adventure gone awry.
This incident serves as a reminder of how unpredictable wildlife interactions can be at such parks.

MASSIVE Stand Against ANTISEMITISM: Boris Johnson Joins Thousands in Historic London March
— On Sunday, an unprecedented number of people, including former U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson, took to the streets of London to protest against antisemitism. The march was strategically organized a day after a large pro-Palestinian rally and amidst rising tensions due to the Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza. Organizers hailed it as the most significant demonstration against antisemitism in nearly a century.
The crowd was a sea of Israeli flags and Union Jacks, with participants bearing powerful placards like “Never Again Is Now” and “Zero Tolerance for Antisemites.” Alongside Johnson, U.K. Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis and other high-ranking government officials marched in unity with the Jewish community.
Notably detained at the event was Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, better known as Tommy Robinson, former leader of the far-right English Defence League. Earlier this month, Robinson had an altercation with police during an Armistice Day march in London after refusing to leave despite warnings that his presence could distress others.
Among those marching was 75-year-old Malcolm Canning from London who voiced his concerns about current anti-Jewish sentiment. He expressed his alarm at how anything associated with Judaism feels under attack now and lamented reaching such a stage in this country.

Conservatives CLING Onto Boris Johnson’s Old Seat in By-Election
— The Conservatives have narrowly secured Boris Johnson’s old constituency in Uxbridge and South Ruislip. Last month, the former Prime Minister stepped down as an MP, triggering the by-election. The local councilor, Steve Tuckwell, is now the Conservative MP for the west London constituency.
Johnson’s influence largely dominated the race, although the Conservatives tried to divert attention toward the expansion of London’s Ultra-low Emission Zone (ULEZ).
Despite a swing of 6.7 towards Labour, the party failed to wrestle control, with the Conservatives maintaining their grip on the seat.
