The PM claims a hat trick of wins with 3 international Agreements. They reveal a hasty set of concessions to overseas interests and a lack of control of the detail for the future.
He thinks his Chagos deal secures our joint base with the US in the Chagos. The small print does not prevent the new owners inviting in people to populate the other islands and pick disagreements with those operating the base. It does not protect the marine zone, and could result in Chinese and other fishing vessels coming into those protected waters. Surrendering the freehold for no good reason leaves us and the US exposed to what Mauritius wants to do. The PM told us China opposed the deal, only to see China come out and broadly welcome it. It was an obvious win for China, a friend, ally and financier of Mauritius.
He thinks his US deal protects us from US tariffs, at the price of higher tariffs on our exports and lower ones on US exports. That could be the best deal on offer. We now learn it has not come into effect and there is no agreed legal text we can read to see all is secure. The government is left having to ask the US if we are indeed exempt from the latest 50% steel tariff. They should be telling us we are exempt from it and showing the world the text they agreed to secure tariff free steel. That is what they told us they had secured.
The EU re set seems to concede the big principle that the UK will have to be a rule taker from the EU, at least in food matters, and concedes the principle that the UK will have to pay for this submission to cover EU costs. It does not secure the easier entry to EU Airports , the freer routes for musicians to go to perform nor the less friction for our food exports the UK promised. All these things have to be negotiated and put into EU legal text in due course. The UK has paid to play, conceded to get talks.
Surely a lawyer should look after his client, the UK, better? Nothing should be agreed until everything is agreed. The final text needs to be in the UK’s interest.
June 1, 2025
If these agreements are as badly written as you imply then junking them by a new government in the future should not be a problem. I find it amazing that each of them has not, to my knowlege, been put before the HoC or one of its committees for line by line scrutiny. A symptom of the government by bureaucracy I alluded to yesterday.
Incidentally the fact that 2TK is a lawyer should not be taken as assurance that he is a good one. They come in all shapes, sizes and usefulness.
June 1, 2025
That we have a government bent on national destruction is now beyond question, there is evidence aplenty. The question now is HOW can the Nation, democratically and legally, remove this malign group of politicians, who have shocked and appalled us with not only incompetence and duplicity, but apparently deliberate harm.
June 1, 2025
PW,
The answer is it cannot.
We either put up with it and grumble – or there is violent unrest which, of course, is illegal.
One trivial observation. I noticed a BBC photograph of Starmer’s latest speech before a captive audience in a factory in the North West. Starmer was in an open-necked shirt with his sleeves rolled up. The speech was an attack on Farage.
All looked glum. At the front were a few managers. One was looking at his phone and the man next to him was checking the time on his wristwatch.
June 1, 2025
Yes Peter. I heard Starmer has a 13% approval ratings, the lowest a Prime Minister has ever had. It probably means a change of PM is coming soon (not via a General Election of course). Et tu, Brute.
June 1, 2025
I believe Starmer said the factory mage glass products, in which case it will face impossibly high energy costs and closure, like the old pottery factory in Stoke-on-Trent last week.
June 1, 2025
When it comes to lawyers, even the ones you think are working for you have it in their interest to encourage the compensation claim industry.
June 1, 2025
Yes first illuminated on the box mano years ago in
‘ Law and Order ‘
June 2, 2025
And to encourage litigation oh yes Mr or Mrs X you have a very good case indeed here, so just give me a cheque for £20k to put me in funds and I will get through that in no time at all. The lawyer on the other side telling his/her clients the same!
The NHS in England spent approximately £2.6 billion on clinical negligence claims between April 2022 and March 2023. This includes £1.99 billion in damages paid to claimants, £490 million in claimant legal costs, and £158 million in NHS legal costs. The total estimated cost of harm to the NHS in 2022-23 was £6.27 billion.
What will the vast damage done by the ineffective and dangerous Covid Vaccines end up costing!
June 1, 2025
All these international treaties are enacted using the Royal Prerogative – bypassing Parliament.
That’s what Heath did when he surrendered Britain to German Europe by signing the Treaty of Rome.
Parliament can’t change a word of any of these Treaties.
They can only take us out of them completely by rejecting them.
That’s why the BDI, which seeks to sign up a majority of the House on all sides, works where the Conservatives, Labour, Reform, etc does NOT.
Reply Our membership of the EEC/ EU was based on a very contentious Act of Parliament where too few MPs opposed it. Starmer has promised a Parly vote on the Chagos give away. Conservatives are pressing for a Bill.
June 1, 2025
Surely after the Treaty was signed? Then the MPs were lied to – as later the population was.
My former MP Legg-Burke told me that had they an inkling of what was intended (I.e if that had read the Treaty of Rome or listened to one Powell speech) they would ‘never have voted for it’.
Reply The treaty was easily available. I read it and said No.
June 1, 2025
@LA; The 1972 Accession treat was a means to entry, not our entry, had the UK Parliament voted down the European Communities 1972 Bill placed before it the UK would not have joined as there would have been no legal vase (Act) to authorize the it, no one lied, and certainly not the then PM.
“Parliament can’t change a word of any of these Treaties.”
But our elected Parliament could, by way of forcing the UK govts hand, at least during the writing of new treaties, or via amendments to an existing treaty, something the UK govt was quite successful at, otherwise we would be using the Euro today, for example!
June 1, 2025
Oh well you know better than Douglas Hurd then. He informed Parliament when it voted on Maastricht that they could reject it or accept it, they could not amend.
Pity you were not Foreign Sec at the time – or even now!
June 1, 2025
@agricola; That very much depends on how binding they are, is there a ‘get out clause’. Of course any nation can unilaterally terminate such an agreement but look at the faff the current POTUS has caused in doing that.
June 1, 2025
This disgrace of a government will do anything and agree anything that is to the detriment of this country.
Yesterday a thousand undocumented mainly fighting age males landed on out shores to be whisked away by a very organised system to enjoy life on the taxpayer
We have a national emergency which is not acknowledged by the Home Secretary (where is she) or the Prime Minister.
The country is being invaded and a 77th brigade is being nurtured ready to take over when ordered too.
Whilst this is happening 2TK announces we can use E gates. Which gates did the invaders use.
etc ed
June 1, 2025
Good morning.
It all depends on what advice they are being given. I do not think we are getting what our government and the UK taxpayer are paying for – ie A self proclaimed Rolls Royce Service.
Time for a big clear out.
June 1, 2025
If the Attorney General was consulted and his advice was followed, he obviously failed to protect British interests.
In any case, I cannot see how he has remained in post after his disgusting comments the other day.
June 1, 2025
On the evidence it is obvious that Starmer says what he thinks his audience wants to hear regardless of the underlying reality of the topic he is talking about. It started with the short fiction called the Labour manifesto. Among the more recent was his presence at a glass works, saying he was there to protect the workers’ jobs when his ever higher energy prices actually put them at risk. At JLR he said the same when what really protects them has been management’s success in eliminating c6 billion of debt over the past three years. As you point out JLR is still paying the ultra high tariffs. He is a charlatan.
June 1, 2025
@Oldtimer92; “Starmer says what he thinks his audience wants to hear”
LOL. As do most politicos!
June 1, 2025
Not sure that’s true anyway, was there anyone in the country who wanted to hear we were paying Mauritius £30bn-50bn based on a non-binding opinion of a court the UK isn’t subject to for Commonwealth disputes ? I mean you were of course, but anyone else ? Angela Rayner for example ?
June 1, 2025
I know this remark is off topic, but I just cant help it.
The Daily Telegraph reported that close on 1,200 asylum seekers came over the Channel yesterday. The Border Force, and RLNI was overwhelmed, and had to ask for assistance. Unsurprisingly the BBC has not reported it.
The general public know that plenty is being said, but nothing is being done about this. How bad does it have to get before our useless Government actually does something ! If there was unrest, the Government would blame the last lot,as they always do. I despair!
June 1, 2025
@CG; Assuming the DT have accurate figures…
What would you do, within accepted international laws, were you the Home Sec.?
All to easy to criticize but you and others never seem to suggest any (workable) alternative.
June 1, 2025
Oh to comply with international laws – which have no democratic mandate but which you consider sacrosanct, I would l fill the boat with native British people and return them to France.
If we are going to replace then let’s do it!
June 1, 2025
@LA; So you now want the UK you leave (or at least ignore) the UN, yet you bleat when other countries do likewise.
“I would l fill the boat with native British people and return them to France.If we are going to replace then let’s do it!”
Some Spanish protestors say we’ve already done just that, hence why the local population now find it hard to afford a home in their own country – yours and their rants are just more proof of the unthinking looking for simplistic excuses and thus solutions.
June 1, 2025
First you demand a reply, asking what would you do…then when there is a reasonable reply you come back with s passive agressive post criticising Lynn’s reply.
If this is your idea of debate then I’m not impressed Jerry.
It is like you want an argument.
PS
Your last paragraph fits your definition of whataboutery which you keep going on about.
June 1, 2025
The Spanish protestors don’t have to pay for any support, in fact the tourists/ stayers are subsidising the wrecked economy.
June 1, 2025
Jerry can you give us examples when Lynn “bleated” when countries other than the UK ignored UN decisions.
Looking forward to your reply
June 1, 2025
Any law that has no democratic mandate is not binding.
I have no idea what you were saying in the rest of the word salad.
However those ‘who can’t afford houses’ are competing with the government for houses provided to certain select people free of charge. Therefore as the Government uses our money, the prospective house buyer has to pay for a few to obtain one. That’s why the price is huge for those buying.
June 1, 2025
C/Girl: 16 – 30 May incl. / 15 days: 874 / 14 boats ( that was just 2 days crossings ) Zero recorded on the remaining 13 days ( It’s been mostly windy )
Yesterday 31 May, figures now on the UK GOV website – 1194 in 18 boats. The usual pattern after days of zero, a massive surge. What I can’t see presently is the number of boats the French authorities stopped yesterday, if any.
So many questions which always remain unanswered. What level of planning & communication was going on yesterday to receive those 1194. Were we able to plan & have the correct number of staff on duty etc., have the pizzas ready etc., One assumes the reception centre would have been empty after the many days of zero, where they can only remain for a short period. Were the hotel rooms and the coaches for their imminent transfer to elsewhere all ordered, available & ready. Our Defence Secretary has been reported as describing the scenes on Saturday as “shocking” saying people smugglers were able to load small boats on French shores ” like a taxi “
June 1, 2025
@CG. I despair, too. Apart from not paying the BBC licence fee (no TV for 9 years), stopping supporting the RNLI, and voting for politicians who say they’ll stop the boats, there’s not much more I can do.
June 1, 2025
Despite the jubilation expressed by the right-wing press over the Reform limited company’s “rise” and success in the recent council elections, there is no chance that the British public will elect them to run the country.
Reform won Runcorn by 6 votes after a complete recount. Only about half of the eligible electors bothered to vote. Back in 2014 UKIP also performed well and was also said to have “smashed the two party system” Yet in last year’s GE Reform only achieved about 14% of the vote, marginally ahead of the Lib Dems on 13%. This was clearly due to tactical voting; Tory voters either stayed at home or voted Reform – which let Labour in with a large majority. The turnout at the recent council elections was also about half of that at a general election.
The reality is that byelections and local council elections are fairly irrelevant snap polls on the popularity of the party in power – and particularly their leaders.
Parliamentary elections are different. They are the voters’ choice on who they want as PM. Farage is widely seen as a chancer and an extremist on many issues, he only achieved a seat in parliament at the seventh attempt. Farage is open to attack by both Labour and the Conservatives on many issues – particularly his plan to sell our NHS off to American insurance companies and his Liz Truss style voodoo economics.
June 1, 2025
If the present government doesn’t address the uninvited migrants and general immigration question, they are giving Reform a free pass to the next government.
June 1, 2025
Not this time …
June 1, 2025
The BBC’s propaganda against Nigel Farage has significantly worked. I see quite a few quite nasty comments from BBC viewers about him on their “Have Your Say” pages, similar to those who comment on other far-left media.
However, this may not be enough into the future as the BBC is starting to lose its audience and negative campaigning has its limits. Also, Labour may be as dead as the Conservatives come the next general election.
What the BBC may do, nearer to a general election, is switch allegiance from Labour to the LibDems. Other media will no doubt follow.
At the next GE the LibDems may prove to be a greater threat to Reform than the old 2 main parties.
June 1, 2025
@SG. Betting odds for next PM are currently Farage 5/2, Streeting/Cooper 10/1, Badenoch 11/1, Jenrick 12/1, Boris 14/1. You might be keen on David Milliband at 66/1…
June 1, 2025
His real “Client” isn’t the UK though, is it.
He’s a Globalist and serves the UN and various Globalist Institutions, including the ICJ.
Yesterday he facilitated the entry of 12000 criminals to the UK, most if not all young males who are an obvious danger to the country. And he will make British taxpayers’ fund their “free everything” lifestyle and suffer from the ensuing crime wave which some of them will launch against us.
June 1, 2025
@Donna. We should put up “welcome to Britain” signs along the Channel coast, with a “did you know” section explaining what British taxpayers would spend on each arrival (£x for hotel, £y for pocket mone, £z for healthcare, etc).
June 1, 2025
Starmer also signed the appalling pandemic treaty giving WHO power to force lockdowns and control out response to any risks the dire WHO unelected health officials huge powers.
Over 1000 migrants yesterday, “Smash the gangs” and his zero deterrent policies is not going too well is it! Not that anyone with even half a brain thought it would or could work! Starmer is either mad or is an traitor or enemy of the UK and acting to damage it?
June 1, 2025
Surely a lawyer should look after his client, the UK, better? Nothing should be agreed until everything is agreed. The final text needs to be in the UK’s interest.
This Government should be all brought to the high courts for putting us all at risk of a invasion which started around 30 years ago and is continuing with over a thousand illegals yesterday and will get worse now better weather is here, people should get there heads out of the sand and stop listening to certain news outlets and celebrities who gloss over the secret army invading us before it’s too late
June 1, 2025
“Surely a lawyer should look after his client“ – alas so often the “client” a lawyer looks after most is himself or herself.
Calls for Lord Hermer to quit over role in Lucy Connolly prosecution
Attorney General’s involvement in controversial case has raised fresh questions over his political judgement from the Telegraph. So what exactly was his direct role in this very selective and surely political outrage against natural justice?
June 1, 2025
The Attorney General is accountable to the House of Lords. Pity there is nobody there capable of doing the job anymore.
June 1, 2025
Could Starmer’s only successful negotiation be The Pensions Increase (Pension Scheme for Keir Starmer QC) Regulations 2013, which means that the lifetime allowance does not apply to his contributions from his time as DPP between 2008 and 2013?
June 1, 2025
Indeed one tax law for you and quite another for him and indeed for the Royal Family. 40% IHT for you over £325K but non for Prince Charles’s receipts from the Queen or for when he passes on. The logic of no IHT for them and IHT for other is that everything eventually ends up with the no IHT family!
June 1, 2025
When Keir Starmer closes a deal he opens up the gates of hell beneath our people’s feet.
June 1, 2025
This is the big problem with all Government agreements; the lack of detail and the desperate need to be seen to be doing something fast so successive Governments can notch up a win in the short time they’re in Government however good or bad the detail of the agreement is.
It is the same with national agreements with the trade unions.They don’t appear to be performance related so you are never getting what you think you’re getting.If someone’s paid £80k to drive a train shouldn’t they run on time and to schedule and if they don’t there should be a default clause.
With the international deals it looks very likely that we are coming off worse by entering into both the trade tariffs with the USA and the reset with the EU where we’ve given a 12 year extension for foreign fishing fleets to fish in UK waters.The Chagos island giveaway is plain bizarre to put it mildly; if we’re not able to negotiate good deals why enter the negotiations in the first place.We’re better off where we are!
It’s very easy to agree deals where there is no onus or down side for the deal makers if there is no penalty should they fail to carry out the terms of that deal.
The devils in the detail, as they say!
June 1, 2025
In these cases the devil is in the Heads of Terms.
June 1, 2025
As you have pointed out Sir John, when this prime minister negotiates the UK loses. It looks like Starmer cannot even negotiate badly.
June 1, 2025
Starmer is more interested in the 3rd world and his notion of wealth transfer than he ever was about making the UK better or more economically strong!
Exactly, and everything we’d expect from him.
How dare he put the rest of the world before our own interests! He is the total opposite of Trump, in every possible way – eventually he will run out of hot air with his deceits more visible.
Where Trump works to strengthen the USA with transparent agreements, Starmer hides and confuses details of what he has agreed. Trump works for the benefit of the USA. Starmer works for the benefit of anybody but the UK.
June 1, 2025
When you have the same legal cabal involved in both side of the situation, the personal payout always wins
June 1, 2025
According to the MsM our PM allowed 1200 criminals into the country yesterday to be receive rewards the from the Taxpayer.
Also the legal team in Government are sticking to their guns in letting criminals off, rewarding criminal activity while personally signing off on the thought police trend of locking people they don’t like for being ‘to right wing’
June 1, 2025
The incompetence with which these negotiations have been conducted is astonishing. It’s as bad as those done by Theresa May with the EU. That unfortunately is the political point – the Tories can say look how bad Labour are negotiating and the voters say well it was pretty bad with you. I suppose with Labour there is a purpose to the bad end result: the chagos surrender is welcomed in leftist circles as ‘anti-colonial’; the point of the US ‘deal’ was that it is not a proper trade deal as that would prevent the real purpose of re-joining, de facto, the EU. And the EU deal is of course a first step in that direction.
Food for thought next time there’s an opportunity to vote in such a way as to get rid of Labour.
June 1, 2025
@Richard1 +1
‘anti-colonial’ term is but another excuse socialists use to confuse us to make us wrong – If they had their way they would rule the world with an iron rod and they would make much bitter dangerous colonials than our great ancestors ever did.
June 1, 2025
It wasn’t May or Starmer negotiating, it was civil servants, possibly some of the same ones in each case. They are the ones who can’t negotiate.
June 1, 2025
Need to keep saying it, what is called ‘International Law’ are not in any way or shape official laws they are just standards a practice agreed between invested parties. If one side doesn’t agree, then that is the end of it.
The only people it really concerns is those with ‘egos’ in the political biased side of the legal profession who want to make money and stamp their political views on people with out being elected, accountable or responsible for outcome. That is rule from the ‘Dark Ages’ not grown-up Law, in a civilised world.
June 1, 2025
I am reminded of a situation in the EU recently where 2 of their airlines went against the rules on charging passengers, booking fees, baggage etc. The ECJ found them guilty – the Airlines to paraphrase basically said ‘up yours’ we are running this business.
June 1, 2025
Our ruling politicians are incompetent, but it’s more worrying that the entire machinery of government is, too. Starmer would have had a team of CS negotiating and drawing up the agreements. If they were half competent, we’d surely had better deals.
If we ever get a set of decent politicians in charge, they will be undermined by an inept, lazy, self-serving and ideological bureaucracy.
June 1, 2025
A Chinese Judge who by default has to work for the State for fear of death, says the UK needs to hand over the Chagos Islands. And 2TK takes that as ‘Law’ – pull the other one.
Perversely the Chinese State see these Islands a desirable asset in their expansion plans
June 1, 2025
Of course. Taking the Chagos completes China’s encirclement of India and secures the seaborne path of the Belt and Road programme. It will also constitute a bulwark against the projection of British and European power to challenge China in the South China Sea and Taiwan.
Starmer is not a numpty. His Chagos deal is a form of reparations to be paid by Britain in atonement for its colonial past. Remember Starmer is a Trotskyite turned human rights lawyer.
June 1, 2025
“[Starmer] thinks his Chagos deal secures our joint base with the US in the Chagos.”
As does the POTUS, apparently!….
“Surrendering the freehold for no good reason”
Except we lost a vote on the issue at the UN General Assembly, yes we could tell the UN were to go, but that likely leaves any UK soft-power influence in tatters.
As for that USA trade deal, of course there is no ‘real deal’, that’s because if there was a deal acceptable to the US interests people here in the UK would be claiming it a sell out (swapping the EU for the US, might as well be the 51st State, sort of nonsense), UK Farmers would be apoplectic at the prospect of USDA ‘hormonded’ beef and chlorine (basically UK tap-water) washed chicken entering the UK food chain, the UK/EU pharma industries not already controlled from the USA would be apoplectic at the prospect of cheaper US products being accessible to the NHS, same with many other industries.
I’m confused about the EU, our host seems to want easier UK access to the EU27+, without being a simple ‘rules taker’, whilst accepting we need to comply with EU Standards if we want to export to the block, in that case perhaps we should not have left! But then Brexit was never about (worldwide) trade was it?…
June 1, 2025
The vote by the ICJ had no legal power over what the UK government might decide to do
The vote at the UN had no legal power over what the UK government might decide to do.
The USA don’t care if we do the worst deal ever costing us billions because their base and it’s future is unaffected.
June 1, 2025
@MiB; And you have the audacity to accuse me of “Whataboutism”!
Stop putting words into my mouth, try replying to what I actually said, I never mentioned the ICJ. What can you not grasp, the UN General Assembly held a vote, thus it is not just an ICJ opinion but that of the collective nations at the UN, and as I said, yes the UK could have carried on ignoring the vote but that does more harm to the UK’s interests than any possible loss of the joint base on the Chagos (given modern alternatives).
But so what to the facts, summer is approaching, time to make some hay….
June 1, 2025
How on Earth can that be whataboutery when it is about the subject you spoke about in your post
Words into your mouth..what on Earth are you going on about?
I mentioned the ICJ because it was linked to the UN vote.
So it is relevant.
Try and be little less agressive and reactionary whenever anyone replies to you Jerry
Keep calm.
June 1, 2025
I suspect ’Jerry’ should be spelt ‘Gerry’ .
June 1, 2025
@MiB; It’s the same type of ‘whataboutery’, as you and others claimed, when I mentioned HMRC handouts when the debate was about DHSC/DWP handouts. Now you claim its OK to talk about connected or similar issues!
“Try and be little less agressive and reactionary whenever anyone replies to you Jerry”
Take your own advice, stop and think how your ENDLESS repetition come across, often never actually debating the issue at hand, just the words used, there are many forms of bullying…
June 1, 2025
You don’t get irony at all Jerry when you talk about endless repetition.
And to add to the irony your first paragraph is a classic example of whataboutery
Hilarious.
PS
So bullying now as well as trolling just for daring to comment politely on a few your endless number of daily contrary posts.
Gosh what a sensitive chap you are.
Or is it a determined attempt to close down anyone who challenges your opinions?
June 1, 2025
‘UK soft-power influence’ or indeed ANY influence is news, I must have missed all that taking place.
June 1, 2025
jerry : “Except we lost a vote on the issue [Chagos] at the UN General Assembly, yes we could tell the UN were to go, but that likely leaves any UK soft-power influence in tatters.”
Nonsense. What “soft power”? When the UN is now run by China and Russia?
June 1, 2025
Totally agree OR
Well said.
June 1, 2025
I don’t think Starmer’s Gang are incompetent. I think its destructive policies arise from hatred of many things that constitute Britain: its history, especially its colonial past, its independence minded people, its conservative people, especially the old, the small land-owning farmers (kulaks) and boat owning fishermen, small business owners, private schools, private wealth and the mere fact of Britain being a nation state, always seen by the Reds as the main obstacle to the victory of socialism, the international. Even Stalin gave up on that one and resorted to ‘National in form, socialist in content’. Starmer wants to go one better.
The Gang’s other driving motivation is to increase dependence on the state, giving it absolute power over the populace – a principle introduced by Blair and Brown under the banner of making the middle classes clients of the state. Mass immigration of cultures inimical to British culture serves both hateful aims. Most immigrants are net beneficiaries of the state. Two-tier justice enables oppression of the traditional British people and their culture and it encourages mass immigration that will displace the native British culture if not the native population itself.
June 1, 2025
PG :
Agreed.
June 1, 2025
Isn’t it interesting that Starmer supposedly an acclaimed “Legal Expert” has no natural empathy or listening skills, awareness security, financial etc except for our many foreign competitors and potential enemies?
June 1, 2025
All good points as usual from Sir John. The musicians ( EU ) situation is something I’ve raised before. Makes no sense. How the hxxx did we end up with the 12 year Fish capitulation !
The Reset on SPS + : Why would any country do this? Why agree to this when the UK is a large net importer of EU agri food ? Worthless exceptions and ECJ control. Will drive out competition from non-EU producers and drive up prices. ( Not what our leader says ) EU farm subsidies will still be a major trade barrier. EU – the last people to be put in charge of animal health & welfare. Catherine McBride raises those points & others in her very good piece on the Briefings For Britain site (29 May ‘Starmer’s trade roller coaster ) “There is nothing good about the EU Reset”
And, if I recall correctly, the icing on the cake being that should a future government opt to negate our leader’s deal, our friends and partners will make sure we’re penalised and made to suffer for our audacity. Let’s also hope that the UK’s movers and shakers’ attention to detail and the understanding of that detail within the ‘deal’ will enable us to avoid those future infraction charges the EU is so fond of.

It’s quite clear that the PM wants to fill the country with “strangers” as he encourages this illegal immigration with offers of free collection from French waters, free accomodation, free health and social care, free entertainment and training, £40/week pocket money and the ability to freely roam the streets even aound schools.
June 1, 2025
A ban on disposable vapes introduced today ….that should save the planet, as per the UN international agreement on CO2

The Chagos “deal” must be the worst secured by any UK government. Starmer is a traitor and should be disbarred from government.
June 1, 2025
Agreed.
June 1, 2025
All three deals are a nonsense. If there are no written details, how can there be an agreement or a deal?
The only particular fact is that anything Starmer negotiates will be detrimental to the UK.
If the PM is supposed to be a top solicitor or barrister, then the standard of the UK legal profession is a joke!

O/T: There will be news related to the Spending Review on 12 June.
People interested in how a SR is actually developed, the different stages of it, the actors at these different stages, who is pushing for and pulling against an increase or decrease in expenses in various departments … could do worse than reading an article by Sam Freedman (a M.Gove’s SpAd at DoE in the 2010’s).

As well as the disastrous international agreements on the Chagos Islands, the US tariffs, and the EU on fish we also have the PM’s international commitment to reduce our CO2 emissions by at least 81% by 2035 which is designed to destroy our energy, economy and national security.
The hazard for our country is not international agreements, which other countries are able to avoid or ignore, but our PM.
