Liar. Small boat crossings peaked under Johnson in 2022 reaching 46,000 in 2022. In current year they are 18,565 and falling. Also prior to Boris Johnson's Brexit there were none.
It's a disaster, and it can all be traced to
Labour ideology. Burnham has no mandate
from the people. He has no real ideas, and
no plan,

Where do Farage’s loyalties lie? Let’s ask Nathan Gill. Farage needs misinformation for power. He distorts, pays for biased polling, works for crypto billionaires/foreign money… He wants chaos and rage.

Just Trump allying America with one of the most egregious dictators on the planet against one of the USAs closest allies in Asia. When is enough enough?
Based on my very good relationship with
Kim Jong Un, of North Korea, I am not happy
with the fact that the United States has, long
ago, agreed to participate in Joint Military
Exercises with South Korea. These exercises
are not only costly, with much of these costs
paid for by the United States of America (as
usual!), but send a signal that is totally
inappropriate and hostile, to a Country that,
as long as Donald J. Trump has been
President, has been unthreatening and
respectful. Therefore, and based on the fact
that it is too late to cancel, I have instructed
Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to
substantially reduce the Joint Military
Exercises! While somewhat unrelated (?), I
recently asked the President of South Korea
if they would like to join us in the


Denuclearization of the Islamic Republic of
Iran, and they said, "No thanks!" Thank you
for your attention to this matter. President
DONALD J. TRUMP
