The Fog Of War
Read on, or view here: https://youtu.be/SYtG3NgvQzs With no fewer than eleven countries dragged into the Middle East conflict within the first week, where it’s all leading gets harder and harder to fathom. The more so as the White House line keeps whizzing around like a Catherine wheel. And the likely fallout for the British economy’s leaving the Prime Minister in a near-impossible position. What feels a million years ago but was only a few days back, the Chancellor announce

A Right Royal Cockup
(Read on, or view, via this link: https://youtu.be/bO40d3tleeY ) It almost beggars belief that it could come to that, but in theory Ex-Prince Andrew could get banged up for life if found guilty of dipping his paw in the public purse. He is nonetheless running out of friends fast, with even his own brother as well as Keir Starmer saying the rozzers must do their worst. But it’s a Prime Minister of yesteryear who’s got egg on his face. Naturally Mr Mountbatten insists he shou

Still Here, Keir?
(Read on, or view here: https://youtu.be/EaUxfEAJlp4 ) But for how long? For the next three-and-a-half years, as he promises, or, as could well turn out to be the case, just a couple more weeks? The sight of him strutting his world stage stuff in Germany this weekend as though it were situation normal feels surreal. He’s not so much keeping a stiff upper lip as practically biting it off.

Cannon To The Right, Cannon To The Left
(Read on, or view here: https://youtu.be/xnC-9vLDKo4 ) That line, from Tennyson’s Charge Of The Light Brigade, neatly sums up where Keir Starmer’s at. And, just as it didn’t end well for the unfortunate British cavalrymen, he too knows the end could be nigh for his premiership. As our Political Correspondent Peter Spencer reports, he’s facing fire from all sides – both at home and abroad. The Tories may have given the Chinese long spoon treatment for years, but Starmer’s g

A Mad Mad Mad World
Read on, or view here: https://youtu.be/n8lCmjz2_6g Wherever you look, the wheels are coming off. Across The Pond, the orange-tinted wrecking ball seems unable to distinguish between fact and fiction, or between between friend and foe. A problem for nations across the globe, though a little local difficulty’s also cropped up here, in the shape of Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham. Meaning Keir Starmer’s hold on power is looking ever more tenuous. To deal with the tottering world
