Trump's move to withdraw from NATO is a treacherous betrayal of the West. NATO is a defensive alliance. It is not an extension of the US Military for Trump to order around to compensate for his lack of competence and planning on the Iran war. Good to discuss on FirstPost.

“Putin would eat you for lunch.” Today, exactly that happened.

Illinois Gov. Pritzker vows to pursue Trump officials who participate in an illegal National Guard deployment to Chicago: "If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me - not time or political circumstance - from making sure that you face justice under our constitutional rule of law."

Illinois Gov. Pritzker ahead of Trump National Guard deployment: "To Chicagoans... Look out for your communities and your neighbours. Know your rights. Film things that you see happening... Authoritarians thrive on your silence. Be loud for America."

This was the 2024 result in Makerfield, where Josh Simons is standing down to allow Andy Burnham to return to Parliament. It's going to be really, really tough for Burnham to win it.

Farage on his £5 million “gift” from crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne: 14 May 2026: “Frankly, it was given as a reward for campaigning for Brexit for 27 years.” 9 May 2026: “There was nothing political in its nature at all.”

Labour is challenging its leader over whether he’s delivering change fast enough for the public. Reform UK’s leader is engulfed in scandal encompassing potential corruption and financial deceit, and its members don’t care. The difference between a democratic political party and a leadership cult.

Except Xi because he literally wasn't there.

It's been 12 years since my dog Gonzo instinctively shredded a Nigel Farage leaflet as soon as it came through the door. He was a good boy.

A remarkable speech from Naz Shah opening the King's Speech debate: "Someone like me who spent her formative years fighting a campaign to release her mother from prison, who did not have a formal education beyond 12... forced into a marriage at 15... attempting suicide... Yet, here I stand."

BREAKING: The Parliamentary Standards Commissioner is investigating Nigel Farage over a potential breach of the MPs’ Code of Conduct. It relates to the £5 million "gift" he received from a crypto billionaire. This could result in a recall petition that triggers a by-election in his constituency.

Labour MPs who "don't think this is the time for a leadership contest" need to reflect on how what has happened makes what they want now impossible or maximally damaging. Whether they wanted this or not, Starmer's removal must now be quick & clean. He can't go on after losing this much PLP support.

Imagine how energised the impending Labour leadership election will be if one of the candidates pledges to rejoin the EU.

Coons: Trump said we never asked for and never received anything from NATO. Was that your experience in Afghanistan? Hegseth: The vast majority of my experience was frustration. Coons: A third of all combat casualties were our NATO partners. Hegseth: I would have to go back and check that number.
