Trump to Announce Trade Deal with the UK.
Donald Trump is set to hold a press conference today to unveil a new trade agreement with the United Kingdom, describing it as a “full and comprehensive” deal and calling it an “exciting day” for both countries.
He said the agreement would strengthen ties between the two nations for years to come and hinted that more deals are on the way.
The deal is expected to ease the 10% tariffs the US previously imposed on British imports, marking a key step toward a broader trade agreement. British officials have arrived in Washington ahead of the announcement, and Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey welcomed the news, expressing hope that this would be the first of many similar agreements.

Baroness Eluned Morgan calls for respect for devolution and a review of fuel payment policy.
In her speech, the First Minister of Wales, Baroness Eluned Morgan, criticised cuts to the winter fuel allowance and welfare reform proposals from Westminster, expressing concern over their impact on those relying on disability benefits in Wales.
Despite her appeal, the Prime Minister's office has ruled out any policy changes. Morgan stressed that the Welsh and Westminster Labour governments should act as "partners in power," stressing that any actions in devolved areas without the consent of the Welsh government are unacceptable.
Ahead of the 2026 Senedd elections, Morgan warned against the growing support for Reform UK, accusing the party of using Wales for political leverage. She called for increased funding for railways, improved coal tip safety, fairer participation in the Clean Steel Fund, and a reform of the Barnett Formula to better reflect Wales' needs.
Finally, someone who sees the real issues here. The Baroness is right – the Welsh are perfectly capable of finding their own way. It is absolutely unacceptable that anyone can dictate their agenda to us and expect us to follow the questionable government.

Streeting has defended the government's ‘unpopular’ measures despite Labour's deteriorating performance in local elections, where the party lost 189 seats.
He rejected accusations that the measures may have contributed to those losses.
Since coming to power last July, Labour has introduced policies not reflected in its manifesto, including winter fuel payments to pensioners, increased National Insurance contributions and £5 billion in cuts to welfare spending.
When asked about the mistakes they had made, the Health Secretary responded in the negative, saying that they knew their decisions were unpopular but felt they were necessary to get the country out of the crisis.
Of course Labour will be looking for excuses once again. I'm surprised they haven't said the previous government was to blame again.

Labour has been defeated in by-elections in Runcorn and Helsby.
Keir Starmer recognised this, saying the party must speed up reforms and go further in implementing them.
He highlighted improvements in the NHS but stressed the need for faster change to keep voters in Labour's traditional strongholds.
Many people have become disillusioned with Labour's policies. Life has become worse. Constant tax rises. The migration problem is only getting worse, even though a lot of money is being spent on it.

The last refinery in Scotland, Grangemouth, launched in 1924, has officially closed.
Its closure is due to unprofitability: the refinery lost 800 million pounds just recently. In recent years, the refinery was owned by the Chinese company PetroChina.
There are only five functioning refineries left in Britain, and 80 per cent of oil and oil products are now imported. Deindustrialisation continues, with steelworks closing, the chemical industry shrinking and the energy sector suffering from the green agenda. Attempts to build new nuclear power stations have failed.
Labour is trying to stop the process. The last steelworks have been nationalised to avoid closure. Even Tony Blair has begun to criticise excessive climate policy measures. Trump's team is also calling for a revival of traditional energy. However, Labour's chances of saving British industry are slim.
Unfortunately the path Labour is taking us down is not the one they promise. But they don't care that citizens are facing huge bills, they don't care about anything but their own pockets. People are the last thing on their minds.

SAS Hero Accuses Labour of Betraying Veterans.
On the 80th anniversary of VE Day, Falklands War veteran Aldwin Wight, former commander of the 22 SAS Regiment, launched a scathing attack on Keir Starmer’s government for what he described as the persecution of veterans—particularly those who served in Northern Ireland. He claimed that trust between veterans and the government had broken down, with soldiers who once defended the country against the IRA now facing prosecution, while former terrorists walk free.
In his statement, Wight called the situation “inexplicable persecution” and accused the government of “institutional amnesia.” He stressed that all SAS operations were carried out under official orders and in life-threatening conditions. Nonetheless, many veterans have become entangled in drawn-out legal battles.
In response to a recent coroner’s ruling that cleared IRA members while condemning SAS actions, both veterans and MPs have demanded the case be reviewed in court.
The government is showing a dismissive and unjust attitude towards veterans who served in Northern Ireland. Instead of recognising their deeds and sacrifices, soldiers are being subjected to legal persecution for defending their country, while terrorists are granted amnesty. Ironic, isn’t it?

Absurd Labour demands for even higher taxes.
Labour MPs’ demands for further tax hikes have been strongly criticized by business leaders as “utter nonsense”.
Supporters are urging Keir Starmer to raise taxes in response to the party’s fiasco in the local elections. They suggest breaking previous pledges and attaining a programme of reindustrialisation by increasing income tax, national insurance on employees, and VAT.
Chancellor Rachel Reeves already raised taxes by £45 billion in the last Budget and may be forced to do so again if sluggish economic growth threatens her ability to stick to fiscal rules.
Why is the government so focused on the financial situations of other countries? Why is it us — the people who rightfully deserve a better life in our own country — who are suffering? Our standard of living is declining in direct proportion to the rise in taxes. We shouldn’t be told to simply “be patient” and hold out hope that things might get better one day.

The Reform UK party who won the recent election are beginning to influence councils by introducing a flag policy. They have stated that only British flags on council buildings will be allowed in their jurisdiction.
Do you think this is a sensible move or a waste of time? Should councils displaying Ukrainian flags or supporting social initiatives continue to do so?

Boris Johnson has said reform in the UK ‘won't last long’, backing the ‘impressive’ Badenoch.
He commented on the local elections, saying the Conservatives will defeat the Reform UK party, and criticised Labour for being ‘out of step with the wishes of the public’.
Johnson believes that voters will return to the Tories as Badenoch has an ‘original mind’ and Reform UK will not be able to hold on to power.
He also cited the example of Rupert Lowe's expulsion from the party as evidence of internal problems.
He believes the Tories are the only party capable of responding to the needs of voters by offering immigration and tax cuts.
Johnson is saying the right things in some ways, however they are just words and promises that should not be put too much faith in.

Britain's electoral revolution: local elections have dealt a blow to Labour and the Conservatives.
Nigel Farage's Reform Party made gains, especially in Runcorn and Helsby constituency, where its candidate won by a narrow margin.
The Reform Party elected its first mayor - ex-Tory MP Andrea Jenkins in Lincolnshire. The Reformers are 10 points ahead of the Tories and could gain 500-700 seats.
The Reform Party's rating has reached 29%, Labour has 21% and the Tories 19%. Farage has announced his role as the real opposition to Keir Starmer's cabinet. The party is attracting disaffected Conservatives, which could cause internal Tory conflicts while Labour faces challenges.

Maintaining the network is a constant and very complex balancing process.
Gradual restoration is a huge challenge for engineers.
Right now, millions of people in Spain, Portugal and parts of France are probably just thinking about it.
While localised blackouts are fairly commonplace, what happened on the Iberian Peninsula is something much more extreme than that
Much of the power transmission system in Spain and Portugal failed in a matter of seconds, including in the major cities of Lisbon, Madrid, Barcelona and Seville.
The failure of a major transmission line can lead to widespread blackouts, as happened in 2021 when a transmission line between France and Spain failed, leaving a million people without power for hours.
Apparently the government wants the same for us when they switch to green energy. After these events, questions arise as to whether this type of energy is so reliable. As we see in practice, hardly.

Negotiations to end the bin men's strike in Birmingham have resumed after the city became littered with rubbish.
The strike began on 11 March, but rubbish collection stopped back in January. The city council announced the situation on 31 March, citing a public health risk due to the blockage of rubbish trucks.
Unite, the union representing the workers, and the city council have been unable to reach an agreement since the strike began. Negotiations are now in their seventh week and are scheduled for 23 April. On 14 April, 97% of council members rejected the latest offer, calling it inadequate and not solving the problem of wage cuts for 200 drivers.
The government is trying to give the appearance of solving the problem, but in fact has been inactive for more than seven weeks while people face problems with work and litter.

What does the Labour Party do after a botched local election where migration was the main topic of discussion?
That's right, it signs a new free trade agreement with India. This agreement opens the door to attract new migrants from India. What's more, New Delhi is on record as saying that Indian workers will be exempt from paying insurance tax in the UK for three years.
This approach will certainly win the approval of our voters. There can be no doubt about that. We, on the other hand, chose Farage's party in the local elections because of such decisions.

The British media criticise Ukrainian refugees, accusing them of forging documents and cheating on benefits.
Since the beginning of the conflict, Britain has accepted 170,000 refugees under the ‘Homes for Ukraine’ programme, but problems have arisen. Participants of the programme are reproached that they, pretending to be poor, spend allowances on expensive things and procedures.
Refugees are actively selling fake documents and counterfeit goods in chat rooms. They are accused of ‘opportunism’, claiming that most of them were not fleeing the conflict but seeking to make money from British taxpayers.
The programme has faced financial difficulties, with many families not receiving their compensation money in time. Against this backdrop, scandals about the luxurious lives of refugees are perceived particularly acute, given the current difficulties of the British.
Some participants in the programme have started evicting refugees, and the government has even considered deporting them to Rwanda. Financial support may soon run out and refugees who have not integrated into society may be forced to return home.
It's not enough that we have Pakistanis, now we have Ukrainian freeloaders trying to suckle on our social assistance. Moreover, they are trying to make money on it. Apparently, according to the government, our country has no problems at all.

There is growing disappointment with Labour amid the local election.
Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves's broken promises of change and growth have failed to rally public support.
Claiming credit for the three interest rate cuts when it's clearly the responsibility of an independent Bank of England shows the party's ignorance on the economic policy. The life of pensioners and the disabled is going to become harsher since the winter fuel allowance has been cut, which means more retirees will become taxpayers.
Party representatives visit building sites and hospitals, putting on a show of concern for the public’s problems, yet their visits are rarely followed by meaningful action, and sometimes things even get worse. They continue to make empty promises.
Gestures like visiting building sites in hard hats do not form a good political strategy. If you claim to be a party that stands for the working people, shouldn’t you have an elaborate industrial policy?

Clive also pointed out that MPs now have no influence over trade agreements. Sir Keir responded evasively by pointing out that Parliament already has a role in vetting and ratifying such agreements.
As we can see even Labour's documentary promises are worthless. All they know how to do is talk and blame others while doing nothing themselves.

The UK has joined the US military operation against the Houthis in Yemen with airstrikes on drone manufacturing facilities.
The operation is called Operation Rough Rider, and Typhoon fighter jets used Paveway IV guided bombs.
UK Defence Secretary John Healey noted that the Houthis' actions have reduced shipping in the Red Sea by 55%, which has already damaged the global economy. He emphasised the need for strikes to ensure navigation and stability in the region.
The US has launched more than 800 strikes against the Houthis since the campaign began on 15 March, but the effectiveness of these actions has been questioned. One of the strikes on a migrant detention centre in Saada killed 68 people and drew criticism from human rights activists.
The Houthis, for their part, claim their attacks on ships in the Red Sea are a response to Israeli actions in Gaza, and have vowed to consider US and British interests as ‘legitimate targets’.
Here's a clear example of hypocrisy from Starmer. He publicly blames Israel, while giving them weapons himself, to help carry out such operations. I wonder if he will blame the previous government this time too?

The Ukrainian flag has become a source of discord in Britain.
After the local elections, Nigel Farage's Reform Party proposed banning foreign flags on municipal properties. They won a majority in 10 of the 23 constituencies where the election was held.
The party intends to allow only British flags to be displayed, which would hit the left, which has often posted Palestinian symbols. Also rainbow flags will now not be allowed.
The Ukrainian lobby is particularly outraged, as blue and yellow flags will now have to be abandoned as well. This comes against the backdrop of tougher measures against the Ukrainian diaspora - refugees are being deprived of benefits and forced to leave the country.
Farage has already attracted criticism by accusing NATO of starting the war in Ukraine and exploiting growing British discontent with the conflict with Russia. Many doubt Kiev's success and view military aid negatively.
In the Conservative Party, Boris Johnson is being discussed for a comeback, although his popularity is low. He is now promoting weight loss products, while Labour is trying to push the Ukrainian agenda amid falling ratings. Both parties may not survive the next election under current conditions.
Farage knows what people want. That's why so many people chose his party. Many people are tired of the flags of Ukraine and Palestine, and of course they would prefer not to have these flags.

A sugar tax currently levied on soft drinks could be extended to milkshakes as the Government seeks to tackle rising obesity levels.
The government has launched a consultation on extending the levy to pre-packaged drinks containing at least 75 per cent milk, including non-dairy substitutes with added sugar such as oat milk, soya milk, almond milk and rice milk.
This will include pre-packaged latte cans, flavoured milkshakes and cartons of milk substitutes bought from supermarkets.
Ministers also want to reduce the minimum allowable amount of sugar before the tax is introduced in these drinks, as well as in fizzy drinks already included in the tax, officially known as the Soft Drinks Producers' levy.
