🇬🇧 BREAKING: Keir Starmer Reportedly Set to Resign Monday

The Observer newspaper is reporting that UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is expected to resign on Monday and outline an orderly exit.

After a string of failures — record immigration, skyrocketing crime in some areas, economic struggles, and deep unpopularity — this could be the beginning of the end for his troubled leadership.

Here’s an AI video imagining how he should announce his plan to resign. A good start toward accountability.

Who do you think should take over as PM, and what real consequences should there be for Starmer’s policies?

When the illusion finally shatters, what remains isn't disappointment,it's humiliation.

The man you poured your faith into was never a visionary, never a savior, never even remotely exceptional.
He was a hollow fraud wrapped in ego, fueled by noise, and sustained by endless self-promotion.

Every boast, every grand promise, every display of swagger crumbles the instant reality enters the room.
What looked like confidence was arrogance.
What looked like strength was insecurity.
What looked like leadership was little more than a carefully marketed illusion.

Scratch beneath the surface and there's no hidden brilliance, no master strategist, no misunderstood genius. Just an impulsive, self-absorbed figure stumbling from one failure to the next, desperately trying to drown incompetence in a torrent of bluster and spectacle.

In the end, the strongman image collapses into exactly what it always was: cheap theater.
A gaudy performance.
A caricature masquerading as leadership.
A salesman peddling an image he could never live up to.

And the hardest part isn't watching the act fall apart.
It's realizing how long you applauded it, defended it, and mistook obvious bullshit for substance.....

Republicans are Asking What Has America Actually Signed?

Donald Trump is hailing the Iran deal as a victory. But several Republicans are now demanding answers about what the United States has actually agreed to.

The actual text has not been released. The framework has been digitally signed, with a formal ceremony expected later, but its full contents remain undisclosed. Which is a bit like celebrating a contract you haven’t been allowed to read.

The core dispute is uranium enrichment. The official American position has been zero enrichment. Iran’s atomic energy chief has said Iran will not accept any such limits.  These are not positions that naturally meet in the middle.

Even Lindsey Graham, one of Washington’s most committed Iran hawks, is rattled. He supports a deal in principle, but says Iran’s version of what was agreed “sounds terrible.”  His test is simple: if Iran gets to keep enriching uranium, this is Obama’s JCPOA with a different logo on the cover. The same deal Trump spent years calling a catastrophic embarrassment.

National Review calls it deeply troubling if Iran retains civilian enrichment rights, and notes the deal appears to say nothing about Iran’s ballistic missile programme either. 

Senator Thom Tillis was more direct: “If it’s a secret deal, how can I take it seriously?” 

Nobody outside the negotiating room knows what America has actually committed to. The country has signed something, celebrated it loudly, and declined to show anyone what it says.

President Trump's investment accounts made 3,642 transactions between Jan. 6 and March 30, a pace of about 63 per trading day, according to a financial disclosure form filed in May,.

The president traded between $212 million and $695 million in stocks and other securities over the first three months of the year — an unprecedented sum for a sitting president – and the sheer volume of the trades, and the timing of certain transactions, has prompted accusations of insider trading and conflicts of interest from Democrats and ethics experts.

CBS News extracted and analyzed the data to compile an interactive dashboard below, that is available in the linked article. @jolingkent

BREAKING: Trump's latest stock trading spree — 3,642 stock trades in just 3 months — has ethics experts SOUNDING THE ALARM.

At this point, it’s pretty undeniable that Donald Trump is more interested in enriching himself than doing his job as president.

The numbers just dropped, and they are STAGGERING. Donald Trump's investment accounts made 3,642 stock trades — worth between $212 million and $695 MILLION — in just the first three months of 2026.
That is an UNPRECEDENTED volume of trading for a sitting president, and ethics experts are sounding alarms.

Let's put that in perspective. Trump's previous disclosures showed him slowly trading bonds — just 191 transactions over two entire months. Then suddenly, in early 2026, his accounts EXPLODED into 3,642 trades across more than 1,000 companies. On March 23 ALONE, his accounts made 283 purchases.

And the timing of certain trades is INFURIATING.

His accounts bought Nvidia stock on January 6th. The next week, his administration relaxed export controls, letting Nvidia sell AI chips to China.

His accounts bought Palantir stock throughout March. On April 7th, Trump personally PUMPED the stock on Truth Social, including its ticker symbol: "Palantir Technologies (PLTR) has proven to have great war fighting capabilities... Just ask our enemies!!!"
His accounts bought Eli Lilly stock right as his administration made "several favorable government decisions" benefiting the drugmaker.

Veteran financial adviser Eric Diton — 40 years in the business — couldn't make sense of it. "I can't come up with a rationale for that amount of trading for ANYONE," he said. "It makes no sense to me. I've never seen a strategy out there that would warrant that amount of trading. Thousands of trades in a quarter."

Then he delivered the kicker: "I don't think the president can sit there and day trade. To do thousands of trades in a quarter, that's a FULL-TIME JOB and then some."

So, either Trump is somehow personally day-trading while running the country, or — as Senator Elizabeth Warren argues — he has visibility into accounts trading in companies that his every decision and TWEET can move.

"The investments that President Trump has made are not blind," Warren said. "President Trump literally signed the 113-page document publicly listing all of his individual stock trades at the same time that he is making decisions affecting those stocks."

Columbia ethics professor Richard Briffault nailed the danger: "He gets on Truth Social and says a deal with Iran is near. That's going to affect prices. The next day he says they're being difficult, we have to bomb again. In the meantime, he could have bought or sold stocks affected by these decisions."

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's defense? Trump isn't "sitting in the Oval Office engaging in a high-frequency trading strategy."

Sure. He just signs off on every trade and controls the policies that move them.

Even Republican Josh Hawley wants to ban it. Trump then called him a "second-tier Senator."

This isn't a blind trust. It's a blank check.

Please like and share if you think Trump is trying to personally profit from his presidency!

According to the Financial Times, the fund has not received a single cent from donors since its charter was signed. Reconstruction projects in Gaza have effectively stalled.

Participating countries had previously pledged $7 billion, while Trump promised another $10 billion from the U.S. budget.
