🇬🇧 House of Lords STUNNED at Rachel Reeves' 'DISASTROUS' economic plans in King's Speech
My goodness, somebody that talks sense
There is an alternative to this Labour chaos. A better future where we cut spending, lower taxes and deliver cheaper bills.

🚨🇮🇳 India and Russia Deepen Ties at BRICS Foreign Ministers Meeting Amid Global Uncertainty
may 13, 2026
In his warmly worded opening remarks, Jaishankar described the relationship as a special and privileged strategic partnership, pointing to sustained growth across economic, energy, scientific, and technological dimensions in recent years.
He stressed that political cooperation between the two nations has become even more valuable given today's uncertain and volatile global environment. Jaishankar also highlighted the growing importance of talent mobility, connectivity, and annual summit-level guidance in keeping bilateral ties on track.
Most significantly, he called for an open and frank exchange of views between two trusted partners on the complicated international situation, reaffirming both nations' shared commitment to strengthening multipolarity and pursuing greater de-risking and diversification in global affairs.
The meeting comes at a time when India's independent foreign policy posture continues to draw global attention, as New Delhi maintains strong ties with both Moscow and Western capitals.
The BRICS platform continues to serve as a critical forum for emerging economies to shape a new and balanced world order.

🇬🇧 Starmer vs Badenoch: Heated Clash in UK Parliament Over King’s Speech (FULL)
Prime Minister Keir Starmer defended his government’s “agenda of radical reform” during the King’s Speech debate in Parliament, despite mounting calls for him to resign after devastating local election losses.
Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch mocked Starmer’s weakening authority, claiming the prime minister was “in office, but not in power” as Labour turmoil deepened.

Kemi Badenoch always shouting, always talking down the country, but not once have I heard her talk about a positive, fresh plan for Britain. All she wants to do is take us back in time, reliance on fossil fuels and strip away workers rights & welfare #KingsSpeech #StateOpening

Here we have @DavidLammy handing the King his speech which will lay out the governments programme for the coming year to "build a stronger and fairer Britain"
We already know about the Employment Rights act with more holes in it than the average cullender.
Anything on taxing wealth?
What about bringing utilities back into public ownership?
Anything to stop the cliff edge destruction of the oil & gas industry in the North Sea which will lay waste to whole communities?
Or just more piecemeal, bland offerings which has left @Keir_Starmer on the brink of being ousted and @uklabour on life support for the next General Election.
Labour and the next PM have to be so much better than this.
