The US President Donald Trump’s mandatory financial disclosure is out, and it shows that he hauled in at least $2.2 billion in 2025, his first year back for his second term in the White House. That’s a shocking $1.6 billion more than the $622 million he scraped together in 2024, back when he was just a regular civilian – albeit an ex-President.

It has finally happened. Keir Starmer, the man who promised to deliver β€œchange” with all the revolutionary fervour of a Lib Dem focus group, has slithered out of Downing Street like a deflated balloon animal after a kids’ party gone wrong.

Islamophobia β€” On Good Morning Britain (GMB), journalist Kevin Maguire confronted the fact that violence committed by white males never seems to see the same discriminatory attacks against them as a group. In contrast, when any attack is perpetrated by a Black or Brown man, condemnation is made against entire communities. As a result, we have seen a growing number of racist white riots, whether that be in Southampton after the trial of Nowak’s killer or the thugs terrorising local residents in Belfast right now. With Farage stating Southampton was “just the beginning”, supporting far-right efforts to bring more violence to…
