Conservative Leadership Contender Regrets Being Part of a Government That Flew ‘Monstrous’ Progress Pride Flag.

Suella Braverman, former Home Secretary (Homeland Security Secretary) of the United Kingdom, has attacked her party, the Conservatives (Tories), for governing as liberals and embracing the Progress Pride flag during their 14 years in government.

“Far, far too many Tory politicians agreed, and still agree, that the Progress flag must be flown; to be kind, to be inclusive. It shows how liberal and progressive we are—and that’s what many Conservatives want us to be,” she told the National Conservatism conference in Washington, D.C.

Braverman blames the Conservatives’ dominant liberal faction, which is far to the left of the party’s ordinary members, for the electoral success of Nigel Farage’s Reform Party, which won over many former Brexit and Conservative voters who feel the party betrayed them, particularly on immigration.

Braverman penned a scathing letter to then-Prime Minister Rishi Sunak after he removed her from his Cabinet last year, accusing him of repeatedly failing to deliver on immigration pledges and questioning his sincerity.

“Someone needs to be honest: your plan is not working, we have endured record election defeats, your resets have failed and we are running out of time. You need to change course urgently,” she said. Her warnings were not heeded, and the party suffered its biggest-ever general election losses on July 4.

Braverman is expected to mount a bid for the party’s leadership, running as a right-wing candidate.

French Far Left Demands 90% Tax on Those Earning $430K+

France’s New Popular Front (NFP) is pushing an extreme tax hike after winning snap legislative elections. The far-left bloc wants to impose a 90 percent tax rate on annual income over €400,000 (~$430,000).

This radical proposal sets the stage for a clash with President Emmanuel Macron. Despite his Ensemble bloc falling to second place in the National Assembly and third by share of the popular vote, Macron wants to install a prime minister of his choosing.

Macron called the snap elections in response to Marine Le Pen‘s National Rally winning the European elections. The National Rally won again in the first round, but the NFP and the Macronists formed an electoral pact to push Le Pen’s party into third place in the second round despite the fact that they won the popular vote by a wide margin.

The NFP, an alliance of Jean-Luc Melenchon’s France Unbowed Party with the Socialists, Communists, Greens, and others, is now the largest force in the National Assembly. Alongside the 90 percent tax rate, their government program includes lowering the retirement age, increased by Macron, from 64 to 60, capping prices on certain goods, raising the minimum wage by 14 percent, and pledging at least €150 billion in spending over three years.

Macron’s prime minister, Gabriel Attal, has tendered his resignation, but the president is keeping him in place until at least the end of the Paris Olympics, irking the NFP.

Reports suggest that Macron hopes to form a “rainbow coalition” comprised of the Macronist bloc and NFP parties other than Melenchon’s France Unbowed, which would foster incredible tensions, considering that Melenchon is the NFP’s leading figure.

Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, argues conflicts between the far-left and Macronists could result in fresh elections being called once a mandatory cooling period expires.

Radio Station Boots Interviewer Who Used Questions Provided By Biden Team.

A Pennsylvania talk radio station has severed ties with host Andrea Lawful-Sanders following revelations that the Joe Biden campaign provided questions for his post-debate interview. Sara M. Lomax, President and CEO of WURD Radio, confirmed Lawful-Sanders’ departure, stating the interview was arranged independently without the station’s knowledge or consent.

Lawful-Sanders admitted to CNN that Biden’s team had supplied several questions. She selected four to pose during the interview, which aired on July 4. Despite Biden campaign spokeswoman Lauren Hitt claiming hosts were free to ask any questions they chose, the incident raised concerns over journalistic independence at WURD Radio.

Lomax announced a review of their policies in light of the incident and highlighted WURD’s status as the only black-owned and operated talk radio station in Pennsylvania.

The controversy stemmed from Biden‘s interview aimed at addressing concerns over his debate performance against Donald Trump. Biden’s team had facilitated similar interviews with other swing state radio stations, focusing on issues relevant to black voters.

The incident comes as Biden’s cognitive decline has become more and more of an issue to Democrats and their allies in the media as many call for Biden to step aside in the race.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre hung up on a radio interviewer in March being asked whether Biden showed signs of dementia.

WATCH: Kassam Predicts There May Be Another Snap Election as ‘Unholy Alliance of the Left’ Unravels.

Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, is predicting there could be a fresh snap election in France sooner rather than later. Speaking to War Room host Ben Harnwell, Kassam emphasized the huge differences between the far-left New Popular Front (NFP), which placed first, and the globalist-progressive Ensemble bloc, centered on President Emmanuel Macron’s Renaissance party.

“This might actually be the saving grace… This coalition is going to be so shaky; they’re going to be at each other’s throats all the time, and they’re never going to be able to compromise with each other on a vast array of issues,” Kassam said.

“Jean-Luc Melenchon, the anti-NATO leader of the France Unbowed party, is the NFP’s leading figure. NFP does not have enough legislators to govern alone, however, and the Macronists are intensely distrustful of Melenchon. They may try to peel off other NFP parties, such as the Socialists, Communists, and Ecologists, to form a government without him.

“It doesn’t just come down to one or two things. It’s not just about the economy; it’s not just about immigration; it’s not just about ecology and the environment,” Kassam explained. “There are vast swathes of policy positions that all these separate parties that have pulled together this kind of unholy alliance of the left vehemently and violently disagree with one another on,” he stressed.

“It makes you wonder, can there even really be any form of government here? And if there can’t, well, maybe we’ll see another election. That is not beyond the realm of possibility at this point… We see this happen across Europe all the time—’We can’t get anything done, we have to go back to the people, we have to ask them to give somebody a mandate to govern,'” he added.

Biden Defiant: Sends Letter to Congressional Dems Saying He Won’t Leave Race.

Despite mounting pressure from donors and congressional Democrats to drop out of the 2024 presidential race, 81-year-old Democratic incumbent Joe Biden remains defiant. On Monday, a meeting between Biden and congressional Democrats led by Senator Mark Warner (D-VA) was abruptly canceled. Instead, Democrats on Capitol Hill received a lengthy letter from the 2024 nominee stating he will not leave the race.

“Now that you have returned from the July 4th recess, I want you to know that despite all the speculation in the press and elsewhere, I am firmly committed to staying in this race, to running this race to the end, and to beating Donald Trump,” the letter from the Biden White House reads. He continues: “We had a Democratic nomination process and the voters have spoken clearly and decisively. I received over 14 million votes, 87 [percent] of the votes cast across the entire nominating process. I have nearly 3,900 delegates, making me the presumptive nominee of our party by a wide margin.”

Biden’s letter strikes a domineering tone. In it, he reminds Congressional Democrats, donors, and television talking heads that he—and he alone—is the Democratic nominee and that they cannot force him from the race.

Democratic resistance to a second Biden run for the White House has grown in the week-and-a-half since his disastrous presidential debate against former President Donald J. Trump. Party leaders have pointed to Biden’s plummeting poll numbers and growing concern among voters regarding the 81-year-old Democrat’s physical and cognitive health.

Despite the significant setback to his campaign and attempts by his own party to get him to leave the race, Biden has repeatedly insisted over the last week that he will not leave and intends to see his campaign through to the election in November.

Extreme Left Wins French Elections But Riots Anyway, Macron’s Prime Minister Resigns.

The extreme left has won the French legislative elections after striking an anti-populist pact with President Emmanuel Macron’s globalist Ensemble bloc. Marine Le Pen’s National Rally (RN) placed first in the election’s first round, with the far-left New Popular Front (NFP) coalition in second and the Macronists a distant third. The pact, which saw NFP candidates stand aside for Ensemble where they had the better chance of defeating RN, and vice versa, saw the far left rise to first place and the Macronists rise to second, with Le Pen’s party in third.

Jordan Bardella, the RN president who would have become Prime Minister had the populists won the election, called the “unnatural” left-globalist pact a “dishonorable alliance” that has “thrown France to Jean-Luc Melenchon’s extreme left,” referring to the leader of the France Unbowed party that the NPF centers on. Le Pen herself says the election shows the “tide is rising,” with more RN lawmakers in the National Assembly than ever. “Our victory has only been delayed,” she insists.

Meanwhile, the French far left, which rioted after RN won the election’s first round, rioted again, despite winning.

‘UNTENABLE.’

President Emmanuel Macron called the legislative election on short notice after RN won the European elections in France. He likely believed the populists lacked the resources to fight another election so soon and could be robbed of their momentum.

While Macron’s eleventh-hour alliance with the extreme left has successfully blocked a populist government, it may prove as damaging to him as to Le Pen. His handpicked prime minister, Gabriel Attal, is already tendering his resignation, though he will remain in post as a so-called caretaker for now.

Jean-Luc Melenchon, whose coalition partners include the French Communist Party, wants economic policies far to the left of Macron’s, including tens of billions of dollars in tax hikes, over a hundred billion dollars in additional spending, and reversing Macron’s increase of the state pension age from 62 to 64.

More concerningly for the European establishment, he is a staunch ally of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), a critic of the European Union (EU), and favors leaving NATO. He also opposes arming Ukraine. In 2014, he supported Russia’s annexation of Crimea as a “protective measure against an adventurous putschist power.”

“The Russian nation cannot allow the North Americans and NATO to settle on their doorstep,” he added.

These differences guarantee a huge fight between the far left and the Macronists over the coming weeks, as neither have an outright majority in the National Assembly.

Macron’s presidential term does not expire until 2027 and he claims he will not resign. However, Le Pen believes his position is now “untenable.”

FARAGE BREAKS THROUGH: Reform Party Predicted to Win 13 Seats as ‘Conservatives’ Collapse.

An exit poll released as voting ends in the British election projects a historic breakthrough for Nigel Farage’s Reform Party. The populists are projected to win 13 seats in the House of Commons.

The Labour Party led by Sir Keir Starmer is projected to have won a historic landslide, as predicted, earning an estimated 410 seats to 131 for the Conservatives, who have led Britain for 14 years.

British pollster John Curtice notes the Conservatives seem to have “fallen far in seats they previously held,” while “Reform has advanced most in areas people voted Leave in the 2016 EU referendum.”

“It looks as though Reform may win more seats than many polls suggested,” he observes, adding that “how many seats Reform will win is highly uncertain,” with models suggesting “there are many places where they have some—but a relatively low—chance of winning.”

However, Farage himself is said to have a 99 percent chance of winning the Clacton-on-Sea constituency (electoral district) he is contesting.

British exit polls, based on surveys of voters who have cast their ballots, are typically highly accurate, with no significant errors since 1992.

New Dutch Government Promises to Slash Mass Migration.

Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof delivered his inaugural address to parliament on Wednesday, expressing a commitment to curbing immigration. Schoof, who ascended to the prime minister’s office after months of negotiations between populist and center-right political parties to form a government, stated: “The biggest of those concerns is asylum and migration. That is the crux of the matter, no matter how you look at it.”

Schoof, 67, is a former chief of Dutch intelligence and counterterrorism. His appointment occurred amidst the formation of a new coalition government following the collapse of the previous governing coalition on July 7 of last year. The anti-mass migration Party for Freedom, led by Geert Wilders, secured the largest number of seats in the country’s November 2023 election. However, it took 223 days to establish a four-party coalition, as opposition from other coalition partners prevented Wilders from obtaining the premiership.

The governing coalition includes Wilders‘ Party for Freedom (PVV), former Prime Minister Mark Rutte‘s center-right People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy, the populist Farmer Citizen Movement, and the New Social Contract party. Its guiding document, ‘Hope, Courage, and Pride,’ outlines stringent asylum measures, abolishes family reunification (chain immigration) for refugees, and aims to decrease the number of international students in the Netherlands.

“Migration puts too much pressure on social services and social cohesion. The asylum and migration figures are high and so is the pressure on society,” Schoof told lawmakers.

Conversely, opposition leader Frans Timmermans—of the social democrat-green alliance—harshly criticized the new government, labeling the Party for Freedom-inspired policies “racist.” He also announced plans to submit a motion of no-confidence against two cabinet members from Wilders‘ party.

In response, Wilders denied any allegations of “Nazi racist theories” among his party colleagues.

‘Conservatives’ Compare Farage’s ‘Un-British’ Mega Rallies to Nazi Germany.

Nigel Farage’s rival from Britain’s governing Conservative (Tory) Party in the Clacton constituency (electoral district) is complaining his mega rallies are “reminiscent of the big rallies at Nuremberg” under Adolf Hitler.

“It’s a personality cult that’s been created. There may be no evil intent, but it feels wrong and bad,” Conservative candidate Giles Watling whined, apparently unable to conceive of a politician popular enough with the public to draw a substantial crowd.

Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, attended a “massive, Trump-style rally” for Nigel Farage and his Reform Party in Birmingham, England’s second city, over the weekend, describing it as “incredible” and observing that “this sort of thing doesn’t really happen in England.”

Watling concurs, but considers the idea of a politician capable of attracting mass support “chilling” and claims the rallies are a “very un-British way of doing things.”

Farage is defending his supporters, chastising Watling for having “contempt for the thousands of decent people who turned up in Birmingham… and those who come to my rallies in Clacton.”

“They are decent, law-abiding citizens. How dare he insult them like that?” he said.

Non-Binary Biden Official Gifted Another Sweetheart Deal over Airport Underwear Thefts.

Former Joe Biden regime official Sam Brinton has avoided jail time after pleading guilty to misdemeanor petit larceny in a plea deal announced last week in Arlington General District Court. Brinton, formerly a highly-paid nuclear official at the Department of Energy, initially faced felony charges that could have resulted in a 20-year sentence.

Brinton admits to stealing luggage belonging to Tanzanian fashion designer Asya Khamsin six years ago at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. As part of a plea agreement, the non-binary Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence “abbess” will participate in an adult diversion program, which includes mental health treatment, writing an apology letter to Khamsin, and 50 hours of community service. The charges were reduced from grand larceny.

This is the third time the drag queen has avoided incarceration for stealing women’s luggage for their underwear and other clothing while on government business.

In a related civil case filed in Montgomery County, Maryland, Brinton has reached a settlement with Khamsin, agreeing to an undisclosed financial payment and issuing a personal apology.

Brinton was arrested in May of last year as a “fugitive from justice,” months after The National Pulse exposed the “gender non-binary” former official as a luggage thief and a defender of “rentboy.com,” a site that was raided by authorities over illegal prostitution claims.
