The Gaza grift and Ukraine war mongering have held a huge place in British politics the amount of profligacy and greed are beyond disgusting.

The ridiculous statements about the British economy and growth are laughable.
This is the plain fact that Britain is bankrupt

Labour has broken the British economy.
Nine pubs are closing for every one that opens. Planning data shows 543 applications to demolish or convert pubs vs just 63 new ones in the past year a near 9-to-1 ratio.
Soaring taxes and energy costs are finishing off an industry already on its knees. The “cavalry” of a 20% business rates cut isn’t stopping the closures.
Britain’s pubs are dying.
The high street is next.

The Gaza grift has made plenty of money for some.
Here is Nick Fuentes again last night at the New Christian Right event in Texas reiterating that the anti Israel grift was backed by the left and Islamist groups.
He’s carving out a different reason to hate Israel than those he identifies as hating Jews for being “Polish”
Dangerous man, poisonous rhetoric and I think he’s crashing people like Tucker and Vance et al to boost his own chance of becoming a right wing dictator but he highlights again the well funded and organised grift behind what we have seen over the last three years
UK–EU food checks: what influence will Parliament have?
Lord Lilley leads a Lords debate Thursday on removing SPS checks at EU borders the day before the UK-EU summit in Brussels.
Any deal is expected to involve dynamic alignment with EU rules. The key question: what real say will MPs and peers have over those rules when a deal is struck and as they change later?
The European Partnership Bill will be an important test.
Advanced AI risks: a delayed Commons debate
Ben Lake MP leads the first Commons Chamber debate on regulating advanced AI on Thursday afternoon — nearly nine months after he applied for the slot.
Originally set for 26 October, it was delayed when the previous debate overran. MPs will press the Government on safeguards, testing dangerous capabilities, and accountability.
A general debate only no vote for action but a chance to put the risks on the record.

Should the Lord Advocate’s dual role be split?
Two former Lord Advocates — Lord Mulholland and Lady Elish Angiolini appear before the Scottish Affairs Committee at 9:30am Wednesday.
The inquiry asks whether one office can advise the Scottish Government and head the prosecution service without real or perceived conflicts of interest. Operation Branchform brought the issue back into focus.
Reform or status quo?

Is the Online Safety Act working?
Google, Meta and Roblox appear before the Lords Communications and Digital Committee at 2:30pm Tuesday.
Peers will question them on child protection, age checks, harmful content and whether their safety measures are actually reducing risk or just ticking boxes.
Three very different platforms, one big question: is the Act delivering in practice?

Can the centre of government deliver?
Louise Haigh makes her first appearance before the Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee at 2:30pm Tuesday as Cabinet Office minister.
MPs will quiz her (and outgoing Permanent Secretary Catherine Little) on No10 North, the Office of the Prime Minister and Cabinet, and whether the remodelled centre will actually improve coordination and delivery.
They’re also likely to press on the Civil Service pension backlog, 150,000 unresolved cases after Capita took over.

Chris Packham’s petition for a national climate & nature briefing is debated in Westminster Hall at 4:30pm Monday.
The e-petition (137,000+ signatures) calls for independent experts to brief the public on risks to health, food, the economy and security from climate and nature breakdown and practical advice on how to prepare.
Led by Lib Dem MP Dr Roz Savage. No vote at the end, but a minister must respond on the record.

Educational and medical institutions are being inveigled by incompatible policies

Who watches the public spending watchdog?
The Public Accounts Commission oversees the National Audit Office (NAO).
It approves the NAO’s budget, appoints non-executive board members, and checks its finances but does not interfere with individual audits.
On Monday, MPs are due to appoint Al Carns MP to the Commission (he already sits on the Public Accounts Committee).
The PAC scrutinises government spending. The Commission scrutinises the NAO itself.

Visitor Levy Bill faces Second Reading block attempt Monday
Lib Dems & Reform UK have tabled reasoned amendments to kill the bill, which would let English mayors impose a levy on overnight stays (percentage of room price, no statutory cap).
Both cite no rate limit + hit to visitor economy. Reform flags ~£100 extra on a family 2-week break at 5%. Lib Dems want more local control, funding safeguards & exemptions.
Speaker picks at most one amendment. If it passes, the bill dies.

We mustn’t inflame tensions … “the hard right”.
I understand people's concerns, but we must fix the system, not inflame tensions.
Labour is restoring control of our borders, closing the Tories’ costly asylum hotels and moving to secure, self-contained sites such as MoD Bicester.
Net migration is down 82% from its peak.

He is right, it’s a COMPLETE SCAM to DESTROY the GERMAN INDUSTRY!”
Betrayal of Brexit began the day after the referendum.
It awaits delivery

When Muslims start a war, it’s Jihad. (Holy war)
But when they lose, it’s Genocide.
Victim complex on steroids, Islam is a deceptive cult.
