Snake oil Starmer strikes again. Don’t be fooled by the Prime Minister’s latest wheeze to propel us back into the bosom of Brussels. Sir Keir, who as shadow Brexit secretary effectively campaigned to reverse Brexit by pushing for a second referendum, will stop at nothing to upend the biggest public vote in our history. This time, the PM is using the excuse of Donald Trump and the war in Iran to call for a more “ambitious” deal with Brussels to “strengthen trade and defence” – code words for Britain to once again follow EU rules and giving up sovereignty.

This is the reversal of Brexit by the back door. Be very clear, Starmer’s planned EU summit will be an EU surrender. This latest move is also part of Starmer’s efforts to blame everyone except himself for the total failure of his administration. For example, he’ll have you believe the man responsible for our non-existent growth, spiralling debt and raging inflation is one Donald Trump. Nice try Sir Keir.

Was Donald Trump responsible for two ruinous budgets, which cranked up taxes on businesses, wealth creators and ordinary working people? Was Donald Trump responsible for unaffordable pay deals in the public sector, which have fuelled inflation?

Was Donald Trump responsible for crippling red tape, and insane workers’ rights rules that would have even the Chinese communist party blushing? Is Donald Trump responsible for a country that refuses to drill for oil and gas on its own shores in the middle of an energy crisis? We have an evasive, shifty and dishonest Prime Minister that will never take responsibility for his own actions, that will never put his hands up and say, “I got this wrong.”

You can sense the shared glee at Number 10 and Number 11 that Starmer and Reeves can once again blame someone else for their disastrous policies, which are making all of us poorer. Rather than showing leadership and changing course, Starmer wants to blame Bad Orange Man Trump who in my view is demonstrating extraordinary political courage by seeking to disarm Iran, arguably the most wicked regime since the Third Reich.

The Iranians have weaponised the Strait of Hormuz, crippling global oil supplies – just imagine what they would do if they got hold of nuclear weapons. The sooner it becomes the Strait of Trump the better. This is a regime which wants to wipe Israel off the map, which refers to America as the Great Satan, and which calls us the Little Satan. It’s my view that Starmer’s decision not to support America and Israel in a battle for Western values and global security will age more badly than Sharon Osbourne on a sunbed. So don’t be fooled by the PM’s cynical attempt to blame everyone else for our problems. Neither Brexit – nor the war in Iran – are the reason why our great country is going down the toilet. It’s this awful government, led by Sir Keir Starmer. If only we could flush him away.

There’s trouble in paradise folks! Multimillionaire reality duo Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash may not quite be the happily married couple they appear to be.

Reports have emerged that their lavish nuptials, performed in their large Essex home in 2022, may not be legally binding. On her big day, Stacey was no blushing bride, given that they share five children between them, from multiple relationships.

With that in mind, our Stace chose a cream dress over virginal white, whilst Joe sported a navy suit and bow tie. But it seems that they never got around to obtaining the marriage certificate.

Stacey, far be it from me to give a popular social media influencer advice, but if your betrothed is not willing to marry you legally, run for the hills. That toaster you were given on your big day will be scant reward for a short-lived union.

Enough to make you sick

The junior doctors, or resident doctors as we’re now supposed to call them, are looking for a bumper pay rise at a time when many others have seen their pay packets shrink. We all appreciate the hard work of these young medics – it’s long hours, and very often they hold our lives in their own hands. But on what planet is the ultra left-wing British Medical Association living on if it thinks a 29% pay rise is justified when the country is on its knees financially?

I’ve discovered that a resident doctor’s starting salary is around £38,000, which I would say is respectable for a first job, following a taxpayer-subsidised medical degree. With overtime, some of these fresh-faced physicians can pull in as much as £80,000 – that’s money that most graduates could only dream of.

As is the case for the military and the police, I believe that doctors should not be allowed to strike – it should simply be illegal to down the stethoscope because industrial action in the NHS leads to cancelled appointments and operations, delayed treatment, ever longer waiting lists, extra costs to the tune of millions with the hiring of agency staff to fill the gap and more misery and pain for patients.

Worst of all, medical staff downing tools will inevitably cost lives – so much for “first, do no harm”. They get enough already. Well paid doctors going on strike is enough to make you sick.

Another day in the life of the BBC

Another day, another over-hyped BBC star brings shame and embarrassment on the Corporation, as the decidedly average DJ Scott Mills departs the Radio 2 breakfast show, along with his CD collection and a P45.

I’ve been a guest on multiple BBC TV and radio shows over the years and I’ve seen with my own eyes that they treat their stars like gods. Their biggest names are seen as untouchable – they are pampered, privileged and wildly overpaid.

There is no way that most of the BBC’s “top talent” would get anything like their license fee-funded salary in the private sector. And it’s amusing to watch figures on the BBC payroll like Jeremy Vine circle the wagons, seeming to offering a note of defence to the now disgraced Mills. Unsurprising – they always protect their own. With yet another scandal, the BBC is in a downward spiral. There are no Masterminds there any more, only Pointless Celebrities. The BBC is fast becoming Britain’s Weakest Link.

Just say no!

Apparently Prince Harry expects an invitation to Sandringham in the summer. Who is he to call the shots with a family he has thrown under the bus on TV and in print? If it happens, there is talk that he’ll bring Meghan and the kids.

With ordinary folk struggling with the cost of living, with an historically unpopular government and an expensive war raging in the Middle East, the last thing Britain needs is a return visit from the Duke and Duchess of Double Standards.

King Charles would be very naive to invite them, because they will use it as a photo opportunity, an ego trip and more material for the next book, podcast and documentary series. Just say no Charles!
