BORIS Johnson will agree a new “Atlantic Charter” with Joe Biden that will commit the UK and the US to leading the world recovery from the Covid pandemic.
At a head-to-head meeting in Cornwall, the Prime Minister and the US President are expected to pledge to work closely together on a global vaccination plan and efforts to rebuild the global economy and tackle climate change.
Their historic accord is designed to reprise the first Atlantic Charter signed by Winston Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt as a blueprint for recovery from the Second World War.
The new version is expected to be seen as a major step forward in the Prime Minister’s efforts to carve out a new global diplomatic leadership role for “Global Britain” after last year’s exit from the EU.
And in a further sign that that transatlantic alliance remains as strong as ever, the two leaders will also discuss reopening travel links between the UK and the US as soon as possible.
They are expected to establish a task force to work on resuming holidays and business travel as mass Covid vaccination intensifies on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean.
Ahead of his first meeting with Mr Biden, the Prime Minister said last night: “While Churchill and Roosevelt faced the question of how to help the world recover following a devastating war, today we have to reckon with a very different but no less intimidating challenge – how to build back better from the Coronavirus pandemic.
“And as we do so, cooperation between the UK and US, the closest of partners and the greatest of allies, will be crucial for the future of the world’s stability and prosperity.

FRANCE is pressing the EU to take “tough action” against the UK over the Withdrawal Agreement following a heated row over post-Brexit fishing rights.
France, the UK and Jersey have been at loggerheads over fishing rights in waters around Jersey and the wider English Channel. French fishermen protested about Jersey introducing new fishing licences after April 30 for vessels whilst the UK has come under fire from Paris for allegedly not giving out 100 fishing licences to eligible boats to access waters.
But Express.co.uk understands Paris has turned up the pressure against London ahead of French President Emanuel Macron visiting Cornwall for the G7 Summit tomorrow.
French ministers including Europe Minister Clément Beaune and Minister of the Sea Annick Girardin have also had discussions with EU chiefs in Brussels including Fisheries Commissioner Virginijus Sinkevičius in a bid to reach a practical solution as soon as possible.
Ahead of the summit, the Elysee Palace tonight said President Macron warned Boris Johnson in a phone call the UK needs to urgently issue fishing licenses that have still not been issued to French vessels.

FISHING boats from Norway and the Faroe Islands are routinely hoovering up massive quantities of fish stocks in UK waters, making a mockery of Boris Johnson’s vow to take back control, a shocking new analysis has revealed.
Simon Collins, the chief executive of the Shetland Fishermen’s Association (SFA) has said the Government needs to address the “outrageous” move “at the highest level” Norway last week announced it was unilaterally increasing its share of the North East Atlantic mackerel quota for 2021 to 191,843 tonnes to 298,29 tonnes in a move which has been replicated by the Faroe Islands. The decision follows the UK’s failure to strike bilateral fishing agreements with Norway and Faroe for this year.
Mr Collins told Fishing News: “Faroe catches a bigger proportion of its mackerel in UK waters than in its own (52 percent to 45 percent last year).
“It has also transferred or swapped around a fifth of its mackerel quota for other fish stocks in the past four years, so can have no need for additional fish.”
Referring to the North Atlantic Pelagic Advocacy Group (NAPA), which is committed to sustainable quota shares, he added: “This is an outrageous move by these countries, and it needs to be addressed urgently by NAPA and by the government at the highest level.
“Since its inception, NAPA has confined its actions to writing letters to coastal states. With this escalation by Norway and Faroe, we are way beyond the point of letters having any impact.
“It is now time for NAPA members to come off the fence and take direct action by ending the sourcing of mackerel from these two countries in their retail supply chains.”
Ian Gatt, chief executive of the Scottish Pelagic Fishermen’s Association (SPFA) said: “Norway is an advocate of zonal attachment, where fishing quota is associated with where the fish actually are.
“But in recent years Norway has been catching less mackerel in its own waters and more in UK waters, as our members can testify from the increased presence of Norwegian vessels.
“Norway’s own figures show that in 2017, it caught just over 69 percent of its mackerel in its own exclusive economic zone (EEZ), and 21 percent in the UK EEZ.
“In 2020, those figures were 15.7 percent and 84.3 percent respectively – a very large swing. On that basis, it should be reducing its quota share, not increasing it.”
EU
Telegraph
Brussels is taking legal action against Germany for defying it over a massive European Central Bank stimulus programme in a challenge to the supremacy of EU law.
In an unprecedented move, the European Commission retaliated on Wednesday by starting infringement proceedings against its most powerful member state.
Unless the dispute is resolved, the legal action could ultimately lead to huge, daily fines levied by the European Court of Justice (ECJ) in Luxembourg.
It comes after the German constitutional court ruled that the ECJ had overstepped its powers by backing the European Central Bank’s quantitative easing and bond-buying last May to curtail the economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
This set “a serious precedent” that other EU member states could use to challenge the supremacy of the ECJ over national courts, the commission said.

Most Europeans believe that the European Union is “broken”, damaged by its poor handling of the pandemic and slow vaccine rollout.
After a series of crises over the past ten years, governments across Europe hoped the EU could prove itself and renew faith in the project by moving quickly to respond to Covid-19. The opposite was the case.
New polling and research by the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) found that the majority of those surveyed in France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Austria now held the view that the European project was “broken”.
Around 62 per cent French people polled perceived the EU as “broken” rather than “working well” ahead of their own presidential elections in April.
Freedom day
Mail
Boris Johnson is set to allow unlimited people at weddings, even if a full ‘Freedom Day’ needs to be delayed past June 21, it was claimed last night.
The Prime Minister said yesterday that ‘everybody can see cases and hospitalisations are going up’ and hinted that the much-anticipated milestone could be pushed back because of the rapid spread of the Indian Covid variant.
But plans are also being drawn up to relax certain curbs from later this month, regardless of the decision ministers will make on a complete unlocking of restrictions.
This includes lifting the current 30-person limit on weddings and receptions, and allowing far greater crowds to attend ceremonies, bringing it in line with the Government’s policy on funerals.
Bar mitzvahs and christenings are also set to be boosted under the proposals, and while socially distanced tables would not be required, guests may be urged to be ‘cautious’ about contact with other households, according to the Times.
Current guidelines suggest those attending bashes only participate in the first dance, and wear masks at all times unless eating or drinking, but under the new rules, people will be advised to assess the risk of hugging others themselves.
A government source said: ‘It’s been tough on the sector. If you’ve got stadiums full of people, why can’t weddings go ahead with more than 30 people?’
Despite those reports, however, Mr Johnson yesterday appeared to soften his lockdown-ending stance for the first time, having previously insisted there is nothing in the data to suggest a ‘Freedom Day’ of June 21 should be delayed.
Covid
Mail
Hospitals in virus hotspots are ‘coping well’ with surging Covid cases because patients are younger and in less need of critical care, a senior NHS boss has said.
Chris Hopson, chief executive of NHS Providers, said hospital leaders are confident vaccinations have broken the link between coronavirus cases, hospital admissions and deaths.
The breakthrough means fewer patients need treatment and those who do are generally younger and less sick than during the second wave, he said.
Even in badly affected towns such as Bolton, it was ‘striking’ that hospital admissions had not risen as they did before, Mr Hopson said, adding that deaths remain low nationwide.
After troops were deployed to Greater Manchester and Lancashire to help battle soaring cases of the Delta, or Indian variant, members of Queen Alexandra’s Royal Army Nursing Corps opened a vaccine centre outside Bolton Town Hall.
Despite mounting concerns, Mr Hopson, who represents hospital bosses, told Times Radio it was vital to look at the bigger picture. ‘It’s important not to just focus on the raw numbers here … you also do need to look at who’s being admitted into hospital and how clinically vulnerable and what level of acuity they’ve got.
‘What chief executives are consistently telling us is that it is a much younger population that is coming in, they are less clinically vulnerable, they are less in need of critical care and therefore they’re seeing what they believe is a significantly lower mortality rate which is borne out by the figures.’
Times
The mass reopening of international travel could “screw up” the UK’s recovery from coronavirus and must be delayed until other countries match Britain’s vaccination programme, according to the transport secretary.
Grant Shapps said that the government had to be “cautious” over foreign holidays because of the risk of importing more cases of the Indian strain of Covid-19.
He denied claims that the government was close to placing more countries on the green list, which allows Britons to travel abroad without quarantining on their return.
He said the government was “having to wait for countries to catch up” with the vaccination programme before the list was expanded.

COVID cases in the UK yesterday rose by 7,540 in the highest leap in daily infections since February.
The latest number puts the total number of cases since the pandemic began at 4,535,754.
It is the highest rise since February 26 when 7,710 new cases were recorded.
The figure is also 74 per cent higher than a week ago when 4,330 infections were reported.
Guardian
New modelling for the government’s Sage committee of experts has highlighted the risk of a “substantial third wave” of infections and hospitalisations, casting doubt on whether the next stage of Boris Johnson’s Covid roadmap can go ahead as planned on 21 June.
Government sources suggested the outlook was now more pessimistic but stressed that a decision would be taken after assessing a few more days’ worth of data on the effect that rising infections are having on hospitalisations.
The prime minister is due to announce on Monday whether the lifting of the remaining restrictions – nicknamed “freedom day” by anti-lockdown Tory MPs – will have to be delayed.
Johnson is understood to be personally frustrated at the prospect of delaying the reopening, but a No 10 source said there were now clearly signs for concern in the data.
Key ministers and officials are expected to discuss a range of options on Sunday, when Johnson will still be hosting the G7, including a two- to four-week delay, as well as the possibility of a watered-down reopening that keeps some rules in place.
A Whitehall source said it was “broadly correct” that the outlook was now more pessimistic. “Cases are obviously higher and they are growing quickly,” the source said.
Prof Neil Ferguson, of Imperial College London, said modelling updated this week suggested there was a risk of a surge in infections and hospitalisations that could rival the second wave in January.
Mirror
The number of coronavirus cases in the UK has risen by 74% since this time last week with another 7,540 infections recorded.
Today’s increase was the highest daily jump since the end of February, when 8,523 cases were reported on February 26.
Another six deaths were recorded today, the latest government data shows, a decrease from last Wednesday June 2 when 12 more deaths were reported nationwide.
The UK’s daily case numbers then rose by 4,330 – rising by more than one-third compared to the same day the previous week, when 3,180 cases were reported.
Today’s figures come as Boris Johnson said it was too early to say if England’s lockdown can end on June 21 as data on whether the vaccine rollout offers enough protection from the rapid spread of the Delta coronavirus variant is still being assessed.
The PM warned the vaccine rollout may not be enough to go ahead with unlocking on June 21.
And Professor Neil Ferguson, from Imperial College London, whose modelling was instrumental to the UK locking down in March 2020, said that new modelling data submitted to the Government suggests a risk of “a substantial third wave” of coronavirus infections in the UK.
“On Monday… we’ll have a look at where we are. I think what everybody can see very clearly is that cases are going up, and in some cases hospitalisations are going up,” the PM said on Wednesday.
Guardian
Some of the UK’s biggest care home operators have told the Guardian they repeatedly warned Matt Hancock’s department about the risk of not testing people discharged from hospitals into care homes in March 2020.
Their claims are likely to increase pressure on the health secretary when he appears before MPs on Thursday to defend his handling of the Covid pandemic to a parliamentary inquiry.
Care England, which represents the largest private chains where thousands of people died in the first months of the virus, told the Guardian it raised “the lack of testing in hospitals and in the care sector” several times in correspondence with the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) as well as NHS England in late March 2020.
The Care Provider Alliance also called on the government to prioritise testing for care residents to stop the spread of the virus, warning on 26 March 2020 that without it “there is no way of knowing whether they are going to infect others”.
It also emailed Hancock directly saying: “All people discharged from hospital to social care settings … MUST be tested before discharge.”
Yet despite the pressure from frontline care operators, Hancock didn’t make testing for hospital discharges mandatory until mid-April, after the first wave death toll had peaked weeks later.
Culture wars
Telegraph
More than 150 Oxford dons are boycotting Oriel College and refusing to teach its students in protest at its decision to keep the Cecil Rhodes statue, The Telegraph can reveal.
It is the latest incident in the culture wars engulfing British universities and comes amid a growing fallout over a decision to remove the Queen’s portrait at neighbouring Magdalen College.
On Wednesday night, the higher education watchdog chief and four former education ministers hit out at the boycott, with one accusing the academics of attempting to “blackmail” Oriel.
The rebel dons say they will refuse to give tutorials to Oriel’s undergraduate students and discontinue any assistance they give the college with its outreach work, including interviewing undergraduates. They have also pledged to withdraw from all talks, seminars and conferences sponsored by Oriel and halt their involvement in recruiting fellows or any other appointments at the college.
It comes three weeks after Oriel’s governing body ruled that the controversial statue of Rhodes will not be taken down from the college’s main facade.
Following the decision, some of the university’s geography academics published a statement saying it was a “source of shame” for Oxford that Rhodes was still “honoured” with a statue. But the initiation of a boycott is the most drastic action that any dons have yet taken over the issue.
Guido
The long-running drama over the statue of Cecil Rhodes, the benefactor of Oxford University’s Oriel College, takes a new turn. After the college authorities stood their ground against the student led Rhodes Must Fall protest things have moved on to the academics taking protest action. Now 150 Oxford academics have signed up to a genteel “work to rule” industrial action over the college’s refusal to topple Rhodes:
A Statement of a Boycott of Oriel College
The Collegiate University can only effectively and credibly work to eradicate racism and address the ongoing effects of colonialism today if all the Colleges do so. Oriel College’s decision not to remove the statue of Cecil Rhodes undermines us all.
Despite votes in favour from its student common rooms and despite an earlier vote of the Governing Body expressing their wish to remove it, Oriel has now decided not to. There have been many letters sent and protests made, most recently in the Rhodes Must Fall movement but, as noted in a letter signed by over 300 Oxford academics, these began in 1899. In 2016, Oriel reneged on a listening exercise and now it has ignored the recommendation of a Commission of Enquiry that included academics, journalists, Oxford city councillors, university administrators, and the College’s own alumni.
Faced with Oriel’s stubborn attachment to a statue that glorifies colonialism and the wealth it produced for the College, we feel we have no choice but to withdraw all discretionary work and goodwill collaborations.
Ralph Prothero is right to raise the question – how come the Covid cases are said to be rising in the height of hot Summer weather?
Lies damn lies and statistics must be the answer.
We appear to be in a hopeless position.
ALL our mainstream political parties support the Marxist long march through our Government, Civil Service, education system etc.
We really are in a grim place when a deranged, card carrying Communist, like Susan Michie, can tell us openly that we need to socially distance and wear masks forever and our mainstream media hail her as an “expert”.
However, we must continue the fight and pushback against all of the madness around us.
Oppose everything, cancel culture, taking the knee/identity politics, the New Green Agenda/Build Back Better, especially the rush to a cashless society.
We must take our lead from those who have turned our world upside down in 2 short years, but who have been planning this nightmare for a century or more.
Critical theory was at the core of the Marxists long march through our institutions.
We must fight back in the same way.
Take every opportunity to oppose and be critical of all these steps to the New World Order.
Pester your MP regularly.
Support local, non woke business.
Do you really need your BBC licence?
Do you really want to support the main media outlet for our Left wing political elite?
Never ever vote for any of our mainstream political parties.
Vote for any real opposition that may be available, UKIP, For Britain, Heritage Party, Reform UK, The Reclaim Party.
Pretty much anyone who will oppose our Marxist supporting main stream parties.
Become an expert In opposing these lunatic changes, become a Critical Theory exponent.
Excellent John; we must hope that people take note but we do need cooperation between the parties of the “real opposition”. Also a big issue is persuading the many indoctrinated through their education and social media.
I wouldn’t advocate supporting UKIP at this moment in time. Be cautious about wasting your time and money, without thoroughly investigating first what’s going on in the Party.
In my own experience If I wanted to stand as a candidate I would consider doing so as Independent; My experience with UKIP taught me, if you rely on anyone else how do you know they won’t let you down?
Thanks to Jack & Mary for your replies.
Mary, I was not advocating joining or fully supporting UKIP or any other political party.
My point was to oppose the main stream Political parties.
Any opposition to them is good in my opinion.
Independents or small independent minded parties I think should be supported.
Critical theory in action.
The banks already monopolise the giving out of money to the super rich. ( Sometimes known as QI or Quantity Easing ). A cashless society effectually puts them in charge of the country with controll of tax recipts. and distribution…, or civil service. No Treasury needed, All done by money .. Welcome.. Of course they’re buying up Properties and land…The monarchy must infuriate them. Specially Kate and William must infuriate them.By now they should be getting to grips with how much the system is warped and bent.with the years.
Apparently the “monkey pox” has arrived in Wales! I disagree, it’s all in Westminster.
CULTURE WARS:
Maybe the best solution would be to completely shut down Oriel College and any other establishment that has been in receipt of tainted money from the slave trade or colonialism at any time in the past. How can anyone possibly wish to work or learn in such an edifice tainted by colonialism? Or, if the Dons don’t wish to teach there and the students don’t wish to learn there they should find somewhere else to teach and study for their degrees in Snowflakeism and Wokery Studies. 🙂
BIden and Johnson….two snakes in the grass working together. It won’t end well for the World!
Norway announces it is increasing its share of mackerel in NE Atlantic. Faroe Islands catch most of their mackerel in UK waters. Where is Johnson? Where is his ‘eco warrior’ wife on this extra devastating degradation of fish stocks? Or is she only interested in ‘wind’ – or should I say hot air?
Hospitals are coping well with COVID cases because patients are younger. Well they and the government killed off all the ‘oldies’ over the last 18 months!!!
Cases rose 74% last week…..Yes….but….. How many are really ill? How many are in hospital on the critical list? How many have died? Ferguson has put his Mystic Meg outfit on again!!! Look out we’re all gonna die!!………………..Contrast….how many more yellow card entries were there for the last week regarding COVID jabs?
Lloyds Banks plans to become a private landlord. https://www.corporateletscompany.co.uk/lloyds-bank-plans-to-become-private-landlord
Meanwhile BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, is buying whole neighbourhoods and new homes by the thousand in America. While the red lights are flashing that we’re about to have an enormous financial crash, BlackRock, and others are buying houses and paying 20 – 50% above the asking price and outbidding house buyers who could then have to become permanent renters. What if every major institute does what BlackRock and Lloyds are doing? Owning a home is key to upward mobility. How will young families build up wealth if the only roof over their heads is a rented one? The Great Reset would be a transfer of wealth and power to the elite. Its mantra is something along the lines of you will own nothing and you will be happy. Seems to me that with Wall Street investors snapping up thousands of homes and converting them to rentals here is proof that that plan is well underway. I found many articles on Wall Street Journal should anyone wish to read this up for themselves.
Very worrying indeed Ceri. “You will own nothing and you will be very miserable’ would be more accurate I feel! I wondered who would be buying up all these ‘new builds’ that are polluting our once beautiful countryside! Evil is certainly stalking the Earth!
At this rate there will be nowhere for the white flighters to run to!
Frederica. You will own nothing …but someone will own the roof over your head.It’s all very sinister.
Trust Biden no thanks he is no friend of Britain stop wasting time on an elderly president who is unlikely to last 4 years Biden needs to be told to keep his nose out of our business, as for Johnson get rid please an utter Liar-bility and embarrassment to see this fool representing our country
I’m not sure I would call him a fool Adam. My feeling is that he is a very nasty piece of work indeed. He has no morals, no conscience and no scruples whatsoever! He will do and say anything that will advance his own interests. A thoroughly degenerate bar steward!

i suppose you need to be one to understand and fight or whatever it is they do.
Look on the bright side. If the two ‘B’s’ concentrate on vaccinating the whole world, our B might not have to commit to running Britain entirely on sun and wind power.
USA:
Boris is yet again showing his globalist nature in conspiring with Biden. At least the people of the US have their Second Amendment to oppose government. All we have is the ability to protest with the chance of being arrested on some ridiculous charge.
Wrong verb, Jack. We have the ability (right) to resist, not merely to protest. No one can guarantee that resistors or protestors shall not be arrested but our own Constitution (from which the Americans devised theirs) grants us, by the authority of the king who signed and sealed that treaty with his people in perpetuity, the right to take issue when and if the monarch exceeded his agreed powers. Stopping short of laying hands on the monarch’s person. And THAT was before the creation of Parliament. Read Magna Carta 1215 for the exact terms and conditions.
Johnson doesn’t know the meaning of the phrase ‘taking back control’. His philosophy seems to be anything but….. The Northern Ireland protocol is a farce as indeed is the Channel migrant crisis, and the fact that we have left the European Union hasn’t under his inept regime brought full control of our own destiny, and they (the EU) seem to be able to call all the shots without so much of a whimper from Johnson. He should be telling Biden to go and take a hike and stop interfering in our politics, but oh no all we get told is that they are setting up a coalition to boost recovery from the Covid pandemic. Empty and meaningless words that mean absolute zilch to to the average working man and woman in this country, and having been told that June 21st will be freedom day from all Covid restrictions that have have seen our civil liberties kicked into the long grass for the past 16 months, that we must all get vaccinated blah blah blah, we’re now now told with a long face that there might be a two week delay or perhaps a four week delay to this which no doubt will lead to several moths or even a couple of years. You would never have guessed that Johnson has an eighty odd seat majority in the House of Commons the way he talks and faffs about. We need a prime minister who is upbeat and positive, and one who bats for Britain. Unfortunately it ain’t happening Johnson. Resign and let somebody else take over for goodness sake, would be my call.
Absolutely right Colin but how do we rid ourselves of him and his co-conspirators? We certainly do need a cooperating opposition to him and the other rogues seeking election.
Jack, to be honest there is nothing on the horizon as far as I can see politically that would be able to challenge Johnson’s dictatorial regime. I had high hopes for Reform UK, but at the end of the day without Nigel Farage at the helm it was a total damp squib, and was not democratically run. Richard Tice needs to be replaced as leader by somebody else as he doesn’t cut the mustard in any way, shape or form as a party leader. Their best bet for me would be to appoint Paul Oakden, their present Chief Operating Officer as party leader, as he does have something about him, or at least he did when he was with UKIP. Perhaps they could swap roles. That way it would have some chance electorally. The Heritage Party I am afraid doesn’t cut the mustard either, so cant see that coming too much. Ideally I would like to see Reform UK wipe the floor with the existing parties and win the Batley and Spen parliamentary by election on Thursday 1st July, which really would send a message to that dopey what name in Downing Street, but it won’t happen……
Thanks for the info Colin; we can hope for now.
COVID
“COVID cases in the UK yesterday rose by 7,540 in the highest leap in daily infections since February…..”
It is curious that this surge in Covid is happening in June, in this warmer weather with more sunshine. The coronavirus is supposed to be killed off by the ultraviolet rays in sunshine, and warm weather is supposed to weaken its fatty protective coating. Covid waves happened in winter weather up to now.
So why is Covid suddenly surging now in the summer ? Could it have heard about Freedom Day on 21st June ? Or are the people who control the so-called science & statistics determined to keep the lockdowns going and cancel Freedom Day?
Lies, damned lies and government statistics. Truth doesn’t fit the agenda.
Paul Oaken is a Barrister, I wouldn’t hold that against him, but was a very prominent member of UKIP and certainly would make a difference I think Colin.
Tell me Colin, If somebody like say Nigel, or Kurton or Oakden or Batten, or AMW, were to set up an umbrella right and centre platform protest .Party, With each individual leader of his favourite beef, still in charge of that policy area and with its own percentage income stream. And with the voters of other all other right wingers in support.And with overall leadership denied. . Do you think most of our contributors etc would vote for it ???
Rules could be such that the ridiculous individual shenanigans for the mantle of leadership gets limited responsibilities, and a committee with zero authority.
Do you think it could work ?.In part if not in total ? I think ,if you offered to anybody central or even apolitical, they’ld take it.
TG Spokes, in an ideal world, yes. However we don’t live in an ideal world and there are just too many differences between the leaders of those parties you’ve mentioned. You just have to look at what happened to UKIP when Farage stepped down which ended up with Batten encouraging the likes of Robinson and Sargon of Akkad etc to join. The fortunes of the party plummeted and went through the bottom of the floor, and has never recovered. By rights the party should have been riding the crest of a wave after the 2016 Referendum. UKIP represented the best chance that this country had of having a true ‘conservative’ party and had a whole raft of common sense policies. Instead we are now lumbered with an utterly fake Conservative Party which will hold the reins of power for a long time to come. I often wonder what might have been if UKIP had been managed properly……..
This short four minute video by Mayhar Tousi will make you mad. In short, as so many of these illegal migrants are testing positive for Covid-19, they’re making it impossible to end lockdown. In other words, we have to be locked down because the government refuse to stop these criminal migrants.

I have no faith left in any of our political parties they are just as much criminals as the illegal migrants invading our country.
His videos are good and tells it how it is, but he came across pretty weak, at least to me he did, when he appeared on Mike Graham’s ‘Plank of the Week on Talk Radio last week.
I joined the sdp in April 2020 because of how awful the LibLabConSNP are Johnson starmer and Davey are appalling
Well done Adam.. Doesn’t matterr if it is the SDP, UKIP, Britain First, Heritage Party or any other challenger party you have joined but the more that distance themselves from playing the corrupt musical chair establishment party game the better. Never, ever voting or supporting the establishment parties is the only way we can make a difference in our rigged democracy.
Adam, you are persistent with this SDP theme I’ll give you that, but in all honesty the SDP stands no chance of making any headway now or in the future. How many votes did the SDP achieve in the local elections in May 2021, and did it win any seats? At least the Heritage Party came fourth in the Hartlepool by election and even beat Reform UK who came fith. Some people have talked this up as being a step in the right directions and being a ‘result’, but obtaining 1.4% of the vote is peanuts in the general scheme of things. It was bad enough with UKIP at the height of its powers with Nigel Farage at the helm, never quite making the grade in elections generally achieving between 12 and 18.5% vote shares, but a party has to break the 25% vote share threshold, to stand any real chance of electoral success, and I really cannot see the SDP, UKIP (post Brexit) Heritage Party or Reform UK getting anywhere near 18.5% let alone that 25% threshold required for a breakthrough.
Colin When I started with UKIP over 20 years ago we were lucky to get 2% of the vote. We have to start back at the beginning I am afraid. There is no quick fix.
