A document dump released by the British government because of the Peter Mandelson-Jeffrey Epstein scandal has revealed extensive private conversations among top Labour figures, including one that reveals tunnel-vision obsession with tax raids to pay for endless welfare giveaways. Internal messages from inside the British Labour government have once again revealed the remarkable perspicacity with which select top figures are able to assess and recognise their own shortcomings and articulate among themselves — when they believe they are speaking in private confidence — precisely what their critics observe in public. Among over 1,500 pages of government text messages and emails released…

British Police have now published a fragment of bodycam footage showing the final moments of Henry Nowak’s life as he was handcuffed by an officer after being stabbed, with critics, including Reform UK figures, stating that it is “hard to escape” the conclusion that the video is evidence of racist policing against whites. Hours after murderer Vickrum Digwa was handed a British-style life sentence with a minimum imprisonment of 21 years, and as demands for the release of police body camera footage from the critical final moments grew, Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary chose late Monday night to publish a fragment…

Trump adviser Alex Bruesewitz criticized Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) for his attacks on President Donald Trump and suggested Israel would be “better served” with pro-Israel advocates who “practice greater restraint” and focus on American national interests. While speaking at the Jerusalem Post Annual Conference, Bruesewitz explained that while Israel was “one of America’s closest and most capable allies,” Israel’s favorability with Americans, especially among younger Republicans, has declined in recent years. Bruesewitz also spoke about how people who support the relationship between the United States and Israel need to “advocate” for it “in ways that resonate with the American public.”…

The ‘Spirit of Anchorage’ offered a face-saving compromise for everyone involved. Now it is running out of time. In Russia-US relations, a tradition has emerged of coining catchy phrases to describe periods of rapprochement between Washington and Moscow. For example, the French term ‘détente’ (easing) was used to describe the situational compromises between the Soviet Union and the US at the height of the Cold War. And then there’s the infamous blunder by the US delegation at the 2009 Geneva talks, when a symbolic red button was presented to the Russian delegation with the word ‘peregruzka’ (overload) instead of ‘perezagruzka’…

The independent outlet Iran International reported on Sunday, citing anonymous sources, that Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian submitted a resignation letter to alleged “supreme leader” Mojtaba Khamenei complaining that the terrorist Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) made his job impossible. In Iran, the “supreme leader” is the all-powerful dictator of the country, who maintains a delicate balance of power between the IRGC, a formal wing of the Iranian military, and the civilian leaders of the country. The president and the IRGC are both directly subordinate to the “supreme leader.” Under longtime dictator Ali Khamenei, the IRGC often intervened in civilian affairs,…

President Donald Trump said Monday he believes the United States could reach an agreement with Iran “over the next week” after personally intervening to halt a rapidly escalating confrontation between Israel and the Iranian-backed Hezbollah terror group in Lebanon that Tehran warned could derail the negotiations altogether. Speaking in a phone interview with ABC News, Trump said negotiations with Tehran were “looking good” after what he described as a brief “glitch” stemming from Iranian anger over Israel’s escalating military operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon, including threats by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to strike the terror group’s stronghold in Beirut’s…
