in the national legislature’s Lower House — her Liberal Democratic Party took the highest proportion of seats of any party since World War II. Japan has just given its conservative prime minister, Sanae Takaichi, a two-thirds supermajority in the national legislature’s Lower House.
When she indicated Japan would aid Taiwan against an invasion, China’s consul general in Osaka threatened her: “The dirty neck that sticks itself in must be cut off.”Yet even as Japan was rallying to its courageous prime minister, China was inflicting humiliation on America’s closest ally in Europe.Former UK minister Mandelson quits Labour after new Epstein revelations: reportThe 78-year-old Lai, who holds British citizenship, will die behind bars under that sentence. Just last month, the British government approved Beijing’s plans to build a vast new “mega-embassy” in London at the site of the former Royal Mint Court. Xi Jinping has taken a personal interest in the complex and brought it up in his very first call with the then newly elected Starmer in 2024. The larger presence for the People’s Republic of China in the very heart of London is not the Labour government’s only recent concession to the Communist great power. Starmer has worked tirelessly to hand over the Chagos Islands, a British territory in the Indian Ocean, to Mauritius, an African island nation with tight connections to China.This is no act of “decolonization” — the former Chagos natives, who were removed by Britain in the 1960s, don’t support a Mauritius takeover. of surrendering these small but strategic islets concern not only Britain but the United States, which shares a joint military base with the UK on the archipelago’s largest island, Diego Garcia. His determination appears to derive from his background as a human-rights lawyer: He takes a non-binding ruling of the International Court of Justice as holy writ, Britain’s national interest be damned. Starmer is a devout globalist at a time when the free world needs leaders who take their nations’ self-responsibilities far more seriously, especially in the context of China’s rising might. He was swept into office by a tide of revulsion against 14 years of leadership by Conservative prime ministers — five in all, most of whom never accepted the spirit of Brexit. Unlike the overwhelming popular mandate the Japanese have given Takaichi, Starmer won big in Britain two years ago with a vote that was more a protest against his opponents than an endorsement of him or his party.exit is being hastenedwith the billionaire sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein have come to light, the heat on the prime minister who elevated him to Britain’s most sensitive overseas role has become unbearable. He’s not going gracefully, however, and he still has enough backing in the UK parliament to hang on — for the moment. But no one expects him to last until the next election, which, unfortunately for Britain, doesn’t have to be held before August 2029. If Labour clings to power for another three years, the country’s woes will only multiply, with or without Starmer at the helm. In Japan, Takaichi took a risk by calling a snap election just three months after she became prime minister. In Britain, Labour knows full well it would get crushed in an early election, with Nigel Farage’s Reform party almost certainly winning power.In a world where nations are aggressively pursuing their interests, the UK suffers under a government its people don’t want, but can’t yet get rid of.Ex-FBI top official casts doubt on Nancy Guthrie kidnapping theory
