On the day Trump threatens to bomb Iran's energy and water facilities, Rutte jumps straight in with full support for Trump’s lies. This is not diplomacy but shameful, grovelling complicity in this criminal catastrophe.

001

Matt Carr @mattcarr.substack.com · 09/03/2026

Lots of discussion of rising oil prices etc today. Not a word of protest from any of the defenders of the 'rules-based order' about what Trump/Israel have done to a city with a population of 9 million people.

Matt Carr @mattcarr.substack.com · 04/03/2026

This is coming. Starmer is not Sánchez. You may prefer him to Badenoch and Farage in this situation - who wouldn't? But he will fold and join this fuckery and already partly has: www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

122

Matt Carr @mattcarr.substack.com · 04/03/2026

Not in the least surprised by this. Starmer 'standing up to Trump' was always theatre/sleight of hand, eliding the distinction between offensive/defensive. He may not be Badenoch but he is closer to Merz than he is to Sánchez.

Matt Carr @mattcarr.substack.com · 28/02/2026

The cowardice and moral bankruptcy of the West laid bare once again. Faced with a brazenly illegal war of aggression, using diplomacy as a cover, these governments condemn... the country that was attacked for fighting back. So much for international law and the 'rule-based order.'

The president of the government that did this just got the 'Fifa peace prize'. Why? Because Fifa is a corrupt and cowardly organisation that shamefully grovels before power and money.

Matt Carr @mattcarr.substack.com · 05/12/2025

Cannot express how disgusting this is Fuck Trump Fuck Infantino Fuck Fifa Fuck the World Cup Fuck this evil fascistic world we are building and the greed, corruption, stupidity an d sheer malice that has made it possible🤮🤮🤮

Can't help thinking that the juxtaposition of message and image is somehow symptomatic of the mess we're in.

Matt Carr @mattcarr.substack.com · 21/10/2025

So further proof in the Guardian that Labour got this completely wrong. And so did most of the political class and the pitiful UK commentariat.

And next month Sharpe Books will be publishing the sequel which has never been published anywhere!

More gutter politics from Labour. 'Put up flags everywhere and put humans in warehouses' - both these things are related - expressions of the same dire 'tough/patriotic' messaging that is leading to disaster. Incredible that Labour can sink this low.

Cometh the hour, cometh this 'humanitarian' ghoul.

Labour showing precisely the kind of moral leadership that is driving the country into the gutter.

Matt Carr @mattcarr.substack.com · 13/08/2025

Only one institution in this country more gutless than the government, and that is the BBC. Wouldn't say boo to a Tory goose... even when the goose is whipping up xenophobic for political gain.

Pity the poor Labour Trump whisperers. You woo the bastards. You go (illegally) fishing with them. You bond with them, and then they fuck you over. Who'd have been thought?https://mattcarr.substack.com/p/twilight-of-the-trump-whisperers

Moral courage means recognising you've made a terrible mistake. Cowardice means doubling down on the mistake because you're afraid of humiliation. It will end in tears for Labour, and deservedly so.

That would be 9.8 million people. Where does this despicable gangster-clod think they should 'evacuate' to? Is the West about to allow Israel's "pre-emptive" war to turn Tehran into Gaza now? Is Israel allowed to do anything? Are we 'civilization' or its opposite? So many questions...

Matt Carr @mattcarr.substack.com · 05/06/2025

Those for whom the mass murder of Palestinians is a spectator sport will never have any problem calling on Israel to kill a young woman with more courage and honour than any of them can stand.

Trump and Musk’s white supremacist stunt: erasing the murders of black women in the DRC while inventing murders of white farmers in South Africa. Quite the feat. What unbearable filth these people are.

Isn’t it great that the president who presides over this obscenity is coming to the UK for a second state visit? Isn’t our PM a strategic genius for inviting him? Isn’t it marvellous that we are a sovereign nation now, reduced to stroking a psychopath’s ego in return for a trade deal?
