Pat McFadden Talks to Rebel MPs.
After last Thursday's drubbing of Labour by Reform UK, Labour MPs were in a rebellious mood. Labour up and down the country lost council seats, mayoral elections, and the Runcorn and Helsby by-election. After such a bad night and Sir Keir Starmer's rejection of a U-turn on policy, that was enough for many Labour MPs.

Wes Streeting: Mistakes Will Be Made.
Labour lost a large number of local councillors in areas of the UK that were voting in local elections. Labour probably expected to receive a drubbing from the electorate. It was the first election Labour faced since they won the general election last year.

Monotonous Ads and The Same Themes.. Content Warning.
Adverts have always been a mechanism for pushing a product. How a product is better than its rival, whatever that product may be. Ads years ago were often funny and were effective in their campaigns without pushing agendas as they do today. Ads today are so agenda-driven that minorities are overrepresented at the expense of others. Blacks, bearded people, LGBTQ, and people in mixed-race relationships seem to be the only game in town. Together with people's dull decor in their rooms and dull clothes to boot. Everything green and brown, so what we have in this world of ads is that there is no diversity in ads that are supposedly reflecting diversity.

Carney Canada's Saviour?. Content Warning.
Mark Carney has a rather good CV. Mr. Carney's background in finance is impeccable, and theoretically, if he doesn't know about finance, no one else will. Mr. Carney was the Head of the Bank of Canada. He was also the first non-Briton to be Head of the Bank of England. So, now Mr. Mark Carney is the Prime Minister of Canada after winning the general election.

Tory Leader Rules Out Reform Pact.
Kemi Badenoch was speaking to Sky's Trevor Phillips on Sunday. The local elections are coming up on Thursday, and they will be a test for every party. It will be the first elections since the general election of last year. Kemi Badenoch inherited a party kicked out of office after 14 years of misrule. They abused their right to rule and initiated a set of policies that broke Britain, even more so! David Cameron, Theresa May, Boris Johnson, Liz Truss, and Rishi Sunak brought disaster, deprivation, destruction, and depravity to the UK.

Robert Jenrick: Unite The Right!. Content Warning.
Sky News has obtained a leaked audio recording of shadow justice secretary Robert Jenrick discussing how he could see Reform UK and the Conservatives working together. Whether it would be a working coalition as in a quest to form a government and defeat Labour is another thing. Jenrick was speaking to students at a gathering. The audio wasn't supposed to be leaked, but it was. On the other hand, Jenrick also said he hadn't given up on making Reform UK history. "Putting them out of business", to use his words. So that when it comes to local elections, the Conservatives are the only party on the right. However, Jenrick's task might not be as easy as he makes out.

Hegseth Should Be Sacked!. Content Warning.
Former military man, Fox News Presenter, and now Trump's Defence man has earned the ire of the Democrats. Information has been leaked about America's air attacks on Yemen, in the capital, Sanaa. Supposedly hitting Houthi targets, but in the process, civilians have been killed and injured. It is a sustained campaign, unlike the pin-prick attacks that Biden launched or that Israel launched. Day after day, American planes are hitting targets. The planes fly from aircraft carriers on sorties. However, despite the relentless American air campaign, the Houthis are doubling down. They are still firing missiles and drones at Israel and trying to hit American warships. Also, attacking international shipping continues.

We Were Never Meant to Live Like This!. Top Story - April 2025.
When you look at the world today, it's like looking at a madhouse. The world is more connected than ever through the miracle of electronic devices. People, at least in the West, of course, there are exceptions, are living longer, eating better, living in homes, and driving the latest cars. We have iPhones/Android phones, social media, AI, etc.

Why Are We Ignoring Easter?. Content Warning.
Why are we ignoring Easter in the UK? Easter is, besides Christmas, one of the most important events in Christendom. Never mind which denomination we belong to or what calendar we follow, Easter is celebrated by all churches. The story of Jesus and His last supper, where He proclaimed the breaking of bread and the drinking of red wine. This represented the breaking of His body on the cross and His blood, which He shed. It also represents the Third Day, upon which he arose, defeating death and ascending to His Father in Heaven. His followers are promised eternal life, salvation, and redemption.

Harriet Harman: Address The Elephant in The Room.. Content Warning.
Labour Peer Harriet worked for two Labour prime ministers: Tony Blair and Gordon Brown. She now sits in the House of Lords and was speaking to Sky's Beth Rigby. She recalled how George W. Bush unleashed tariffs on steel imports. Back then, she remembers Tony Blair disagreeing with Bush, even though they had a growing bromance. Blair had the guts to tell Bush to his face that imposing tariffs was against World Trade Organisation rules.
