STARKEST WARNING: Starmer Panics Over Farage’S “Fantasy” Economics
— Prime Minister Keir Starmer has gone on the attack against Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, calling his economic plans a “fantasy.” Starmer claims Farage’s ideas would spark a crisis like the one under Liz Truss. He warns that families could see their finances and mortgages put at risk.
Starmer argues that rolling back welfare cuts and ending benefit caps would send mortgage rates, bills, and rents soaring. He says voters must pick between Labour’s so-called “stable finances” or what he calls Reform UK’s risky experiment.
Reform UK quickly fired back, calling Starmer’s comments a “desperate attack” from a party losing ground in the polls. The clash comes as Reform UK gains steam while both Labour and Conservatives deal with problems inside their parties.
This heated exchange shows how uncertain British politics has become. With parties fighting over money issues and leadership, voters face tough decisions as the next election draws closer.
TRUSS CALLS for a Bold Conservative Uprising in the UK
— Former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss is calling for a “conservative revolution” inspired by Donald Trump and Elon Musk. Speaking at the 2025 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), Truss praised Trump’s agenda and Musk’s bold initiatives. She believes these models could transform the United Kingdom if embraced.
Truss pointed out the momentum of conservative policies in the U.S., noting global admiration for Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency. She criticized current UK leadership under Prime Minister Keir Starmer, accusing them of supporting the “deep state” and resisting needed reforms. According to Truss, change will only come with leaders ready to challenge entrenched bureaucracies.
Praising Musk’s straightforward approach to financial systems, Truss sees it as a plan for Britain’s future governance. However, she admits such reforms are unlikely under Starmer’s administration. The former prime minister stressed that significant changes need leaders committed to transparency and efficient government spending.
Truss also highlighted how Musk’s actions have impacted Washington by exposing federal funding issues and leading to mass layoffs of government employees. She believes similar accountability measures could benefit the UK, urging close observation of Musk’s strategies as potential solutions for British governance challenges.

PELOSI SLAMMED as "Elite" in Fiery Oxford Populism Debate
— Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was criticized during an Oxford Union debate for calling populism a threat to democracy. She referred to some Americans as “poor souls” who are misled by their beliefs in “guns, gays, [and] God.” Winston Marshall, former Mumford and Sons musician, challenged her stance, defending the essence of populism.
Marshall argued that the term “populist” has been hijacked by elites to belittle ordinary citizens. He highlighted how terms like “racist,” “bigot,” and “deplorable” are now linked with populism, showing a narrative shift controlled by those at the top.
The debate underscored a significant split in how populism is viewed in America. While Pelosi views it as a peril to democracy, critics like Marshall see it as embodying core American values that are often misunderstood.
This discussion at the renowned Oxford Union highlights ongoing tensions within U.S. political dialogue, reflecting broader national debates about democracy and representation.
COLORADO Democrats PUSH for Drastic GUN Control: Igniting Nationwide Alarm
— Colorado’s Democratic party is fervently pushing a series of gun control bills, reflecting policies from liberal states like California. These bills have largely slipped under the media radar, sparking concerns among Second Amendment experts. Ava Flanell, a firearms instructor based in Colorado Springs, cautions that these legislative proposals could have far-reaching effects.
The proposed legislation encompasses banning “assault weapons,” typically semi-automatic rifles such as AR-15s. It also includes imposing an 11% tax on gun and ammunition sales and raising the bar for concealed handgun training classes. Additionally, one bill aims to restrict where firearm owners can carry their weapons — places like parks, banks, and college campuses are included.
These contentious bills are currently under scrutiny by the state’s General Assembly where Democrats hold majority in both chambers. With Governor Jared Polis also being a Democrat, the party holds all three branches of power in Colorado politics.
Last year similar laws were enacted in Washington with no positive impact on crime rates but had devastating effects on local gun stores. Flanell is urging unity to prevent these bills from spreading to other states.
EXPOSED: BIDEN and Elites’ Unsettling Alliance with China
— President Joe Biden’s recent actions have stirred up a storm of controversy. His apparent dismissal of the idea of “decoupling” from China is causing concern among conservatives. These revelations come from a new book, Controligarchs: Exposing the Billionaire Class, Their Secret Deals, and the Globalist Plot to Dominate Your Life.
The book suggests that global elites and politicians like Biden and California Governor Gavin Newsom are actively pushing for a closer resemblance between the U.S. and its Communist adversary. It alleges that these individuals view Beijing’s elites not as threats or rivals but as business partners.
Among those named in these claims are influential figures such as BlackRock’s Larry Fink, Apple’s Tim Cook, and Blackstone’s Stephen Schwarzman. These business leaders were reportedly present at a dinner honoring Chinese Communist Party Leader Xi Jinping where they stood in applause for Chairman Xi.
This revelation comes at a time when concerns over China’s influence on global politics are growing. It highlights the urgent need for transparency in dealings between American leaders and foreign powers.

UK’S CONSERVATIVE Government Unveils TAX Cuts Strategy: A Bold Move to Win Over Voters
— The Conservative government of the UK, under the leadership of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, is strategizing a tax cut to win voter favor. This decision comes as a strategic move in anticipation of next year’s national election, where current polls hint at a possible Conservative defeat.
On Monday, Sunak declared his government’s intention to “cut tax and reward hard work”, while steering clear from any measures that might jeopardize their success in taming inflation. The UK is currently burdened with its highest tax level in seven decades due to the economic aftermath of COVID-19 and energy price surges triggered by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Inflation has been reined in to 4.6% from an alarming 41-year peak of 11.1% last year, thereby paving way for these proposed tax cuts. “With inflation now halved and our growth stronger — leading to higher revenues — we can shift gears into the next phase and focus on cutting taxes,” stated Sunak.
Sunak assumed office as prime minister in October 2022 following Liz Truss’s brief stint which ended amidst financial market chaos caused by unfunded tax cuts. He pledged stability for Britain’s economy post this tumultuous period.
