Guido understands that the conversion therapy ban has finally been killed off. The government committed to a draft bill for pre-legislative scrutiny last January, though now it will not be put forward a Joint Committee, cutting it off at the first stage. Banning conversion therapy for gay and trans people has been kicked down the road since 2018, and now Rishi has let it die… Like most things, it’s an issue that polarises the Tories, and it seems that Sunak doesn’t want the backlash from the Tory right if he were to go ahead with the ban. MPs raised their...

Former U.S. President Barack Obama called in at the British Prime Minister’s official residence on Monday, but the office is keeping tight-lipped about the purpose of the one-hour meeting. Barack Obama surprised when he turned up at Rishi Sunak’s front door on Monday, going inside the historic Downing Street residence for an hour and meeting with the Prime Minister. Former President Obama walked up to the famous black door alone but later emerged alongside the U.S. Ambassador to London Jane Hartley.

The answer is becoming increasingly clear for anyone wondering how Joe Biden is performing his daily duties as “President of the United States.” It appears as though surrogates who were previously working behind the curtain are coming out of hiding, possibly to assure Democrats that despite Joe Biden’s obvious mental limitations, the old guard, anti-American radicals who’ve been running the party for almost two decades, are still in control. Only moments ago, former President Barack Obama was captured on video walking up to the official residence of Britain’s Prime Minister Rishi Sunak at 10 Downing Street in London. BREAKING: Barack...

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has resisted opposition calls to return money to a Conservative donor who reportedly said MP Diane Abbott "should be shot". The PM said Frank Hester's alleged comments were "wrong" and "racist". But he repeatedly told MPs Mr Hester had apologised and his "remorse should be accepted". Mr Hester has donated more than £10m to the Tories and in November gifted Mr Sunak the use of a helicopter for a political visit, valued at £15,000. At Prime Minister's Questions, Labour MP Marsha de Cordova asked Mr Sunak directly if he would return the helicopter donation. Ms Abbott...

Galloway sworn in as the newest Member of Parliament...The next election will be about Muslims, George Galloway said as he was sworn into the Commons as the new MP for Rochdale. The controversial politician said it was “clear” to him that Rishi Sunak had identified “Muslims and Gaza” as the “wedge issue” that he intended to use as his “only hope of re-election”. He vowed to target Angela Rayner’s Ashton-under-Lyne seat, claiming to have “at least 15,000 supporters” in the Greater Manchester constituency – enough to overturn the deputy Labour leader’s majority of about 4,000. At an impromptu press conference...

To the authentically British backdrop of drizzle, a distant heckler and the piccolo patter of a Downing Street tree sparrow, Rishi Sunak confronted the 'poison' of Islamist and far-Right extremism. It needed saying and it needed saying well. Our Prime Minister did that. Arc-lit by TV cameras as Friday afternoon slipped into evening, a deadly serious Sunak said: 'This situation has gone on long enough. Our great achievement in building the world's most successful multi-ethnic, multi-faith democracy is being deliberately undermined. There are forces here at home trying to tear us apart. We must not allow that to happen.' 'Forces...

You might be thinking this article’s headline is the start of a bad joke. You’d be right, except it’s no laughing matter. It seems a day doesn’t go by without hearing about someone who’s being attacked for saying things everyone knows are true, and this past week showed just how widespread this cancer has become, as each of these individuals or entities has tried to silence their critics for doing just that. Bishop Joseph Strickland from his post overseeing the Diocese of Tyler, Texas, ostensibly for his poor governance of the diocese but more likely for his frequent use of...

Rishi Sunak has said he believes that 100 per cent of women do not have penises. The prime minister has put himself at odds with Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer by declaring that 100 per cent of women do not have male genitals. By contrast, Sir Keir earlier this month suggested that as many as one in every thousand women has a penis. Asked whether it is true that 100 per cent of women do not have a penis, in an interview with Tory-supporting website Conservative Home, Mr Sunak said: “Yes, of course.” He added: “We should always have compassion...

Up until now, I've not been particularly impressed with the U.K.'s new prime minister, Rishi Sunak, who comes off as sort of a British version of a Mitt Romney-style corporate RINO, not a leftist, but certainly no Margaret Thatcher, either.But he's come up with some surprises. Here are his tweets on how he plans to disincentivize illegal immigration, a problem that's almost as bad over there as it is here: Today we are introducing new laws that mean if you come to the UK illegally you will be banned from ever re-entering our country. This is how we will break...
