UK Special Coverage The Trump Era Tests British-American Ties Washington prioritizes its “special relationship” with Israel over its historic ties with Britain. Photo by Andrew Harnik/Getty Images There was a time when Britain and America could be accurately described as two halves of a single civilization.

Donald Trump loved Britain. His mum was Scottish. He loved the Queen. He likes the King. And he’s mates with Nigel Farage. But lately, Trump has turned on Britain. And while I obviously take umbrage with the emerging stances on the Falklands and the union, I also understand how he feels let down by a place he once regarded as his proud ancestral home. Successive Tory and Labour governments have wrought economic, geopolitical, and demographic carnage on the United Kingdom. As I warned would happen at the time, slippery eel Boris Johnson was too busy with Ukraine and Net Zero to care about anything domestic besides locking people down during COVID. Keir Starmer and Andy Burnham have doubled down on his failed philosophy, adding a…Open

UK Special Coverage Photo by Dan Kitwood/Getty Images At a time when the so-called special relationship with the United States is under greater strain than at any time in the last 70 years, Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s appointment of the left-wing former Labour leader Ed Miliband as British foreign secretary could hardly be more provocative. The former energy and net zero secretary has expressed outright…Open

The White House has expressed concerns about Ed Miliband’s appointment as Britain’s Foreign Secretary, citing his potential to create friction in British-American relations. PULSE POINTS WHAT HAPPENED: The White House has raised concerns over new British Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s decision to appoint Ed Miliband as his Foreign Secretary—roughly equivalent to U.S. Secretary of State—fearing it could strain the British-American “special relationship.” A senior official in the administration clearly signaled to the British press that Miliband’s elevation would be considered a “point of friction,” particularly with respect to the Foreign Secretary’s promotion of climate ideology.

President Donald Trump has registered his displeasure at Prime Minister Keir Starmer for failing to join the Iran War with the proper gung-ho spirit, and the latest instantiation of this is reportedly a Pentagon proposal to back Argentine claims to the Falkland Islands. The response (including this one in The American Conservative’s pages from the admirable Iain Macwhirter) has been indignation and a great deal of fretting…Open
On "Katie Pavlich Tonight": We open with a sobering reality: barely hours after the third attempt on the president's life, the political climate has reached a breaking point, and we ask why America cannot heal until the left acknowledges its toxic rhetoric following examples including Katie Porter’s fundraising emails, Jimmy Kimmel’s refusal to apologize, and public displays mourning the president's survival. Joining us on set to break down this national crisis alongside the news that James Comey is facing a second indictment are Geraldo Rivera and Batya Ungar-Sargon. We then turn to the economy as the OPEC cartel faces a potential collapse, with Steve Moore joining us to explain why the UAE's departure could actually be a win for…
