“Keir Starmer is ‘running scared’ at the growing backlash over his plans to axe winter fuel payments for 10 million pensioners, the Tories said last night.
As Parliament returned after its summer break, the Prime Minister warned panicking Labour MPs that he would not tolerate dissent over the raid on the elderly, saying he would be ‘really tough on this’.
In a move which has infuriated opposition MPs, government sources indicated ministers would reject calls for a Commons debate and vote on the controversial plan, which was pushed through during the summer while Parliament was in recess.”

What a brave little man “two-tier” Keir is! Willing to be “really tough” in repressing pensioners…
The bastard has only been Prime Minister for two months (as of tomorrow), and has already shown, comprehensively, that he is in the wrong job.
People must keep in the forefront of their minds that only 4 people, out of every 20 eligible to vote, voted Labour; and only 4 out of every 12 that did vote, voted Labour.
Starmer-Labour has no real mandate to govern.
Starmer has told the Jew Zelensky that Labour intends to supply the shambolic, brutal dictatorship in Kiev with £3 billion p.a. (supposedly indefinitely) from British taxpayers, while cheating British pensioners out of about £1Bn-£2Bn annually in terms of winter fuel payments.
At least that money will not have to be sent to the Kiev regime for too long— the dictatorship will probably be rolled over within a year or so.

…but that figure for “illegal” migrant-invaders is only about 5% of the whole immigration invasion or migration invasion in that time period.
Sooner or later, the whole cultural sector in the UK will have to be purged.
“Britain’s chief rabbi, Ephraim Mirvis, enthuses about the crimes against humanity being perpetrated in Gaza by what he calls “our heroic soldiers” –yes, if you or I conflated the Jewish people with Israel, we’d be called antisemites.
He then reveals that his son, Danny, is among the soldiers in Gaza. He says he is “immensely proud” of what these soldiers are doing in Gaza – so far they have killed 23,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children.
He concludes: “What Israel is doing is the most outstanding possible thing that a decent, responsible country can do for its citizens.” Is Mirvis not giving his religious blessing to genocide here?“
The sheer cheek of the bastards (((them))). Mirvis was born in South Africa, lived much of his life in Israel/Palestine, relocated to Ireland, and finally washed up on our shores. Now he purports to tell us what to do and what not to do. Typical.
As to “genocide”, one reads all sorts of nuanced arguments as to whether the mass slaughter indulged in by Israeli Jews in Gaza (and elsewhere) is or is not “genocide”. Does the label really matter? They have done what they have done…

“The Russian ambassador to the USA, Anatoly Antonov, believes that the United States will not be able to “hide behind the ocean” if the situation in Ukraine turns into a global one.
Other statements by Antonov:
– No arms deliveries to Kiev will change the situation on the battlefield.
– Washington’s idea that Russia collides with Europe using the Ukrainian crisis will not pass. – Agreements between Ukraine and the USA regarding the conflict in Ukraine are being implemented “without the knowledge” of Russia. – American officials ignore the obvious atrocities of the OSU: murders, violence against prisoners of war and ordinary people. – The recent visit of Ukrainian officials to America was aimed at “begging” for weapons and money, but also to tighten Washington’s policy against Russia. – The American project “Ukraine” brings huge sacrifices for the Slavic people, but Russia will cope with the new challenge.“
Interesting both in itself and in the fact that Iran is supplying Russia when, in days of yore, the old Soviet Union would have been the one supplying, and Iran (etc) the recipient, whether or not the actual end user.
No detail, of course, as to how many, what type, what payload etc. It is impossible (for me) to assess at all what weight the missiles will have on the battlefield.
Hard to see how that accomplishes anything. The high-value targets are those involved in electrical production and distribution, the railways, the roads, military activity and, above all, the higher-ranking members of the Kiev regime itself. Bullseye? Zelensky.
“Hungary will not survive without Russian oil, says Foreign Minister Szijjarto : ” If Hungary stops oil supplies from Russia, we simply will not survive, we will not be able to feed the country in a broad sense. We simply will not be able to satisfy the demand for fuel” Earlier, Szijjártó accused the European Commission of protecting “Ukrainian blackmailers” who threatened the energy security of Hungary and Slovakia.“
From what I saw 23 years ago, Hungary is a decent country of usually-reasonable people, not a corrupt mess like Ukraine.
“The best Ukrainian pilots were killed even before the Western countries delivered F-16 fighters to Kiev, writes the “Wall Street Journal”.
They include pilot Alexei Mesya, who died while piloting an F-16 fighter jet last week, as well as Andrei Pilshchikov, who died last August during a training flight. The newspaper emphasizes that both soldiers participated in a meeting with US senators in June 2022 and actively advocated for deliveries of F-16s to Kyiv.”
Such missiles can travel up to 575 miles: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AGM-158_JASSM.
The shortest distance between the Ukrainian border and Moscow is 523 miles; therefore, in principle, Moscow could be hit by such missiles.
The Kiev regime should bear in mind that Russia has many thousands of long-range missiles, including thousands carrying, or capable or carrying, nuclear warheads.

“...a steep drop in national pride“? Is that surprising? The population of the UK is now about 20% non-white, in England specifically much higher, and in the major cities such as London and Birmingham the figure is about 50%; in some cities much higher.
The English person finds himself or herself wandering the streets full of non-Europeans, many of which in the UK are predators and/or scavengers.
It becomes impossible for the “average” English person to buy or even rent a property.
A million or more migrant-invaders enter the UK every year, few leave, but about 200,000 real Brits leave the UK each year, desperately seeking a better life, mostly in Anglophone countries such as Australia, New Zealand etc.
What is there to be proud of now? In fact, there are still things of which we can be proud (new transport infrastructure, some rewilding and other environmental programmes etc), but nothing that really touches the heart; and socially, educationally, culturally, the country is sliding all the time now.
The UK is slowly sliding to a kind of social/cultural/civil war of sorts, made complex and sluggish by a number of factors.
The Kiev-regime forces will probably not be able to hold that territory even until the end of this year.

An incredible achievement for a young composer only 25/26-y-o at the time (1936). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Barber.
