Sir Keir Starmer, newly instated as Britain’s prime minister, has terminated the previous government’s Rwanda deportation scheme, which was supposed to see thousands of illegalmigrants deported from the country. The far-left Labour leader described the plan as a “gimmick,” claiming it “was dead and buried before it started.”
The financial consequences of ending the program, along with the total cost to taxpayers, remain unclear, though hundreds of millions had already been sunk into the policy. The fate of about 52,000+ migrants identified for deportation is now uncertain, though Labour Party policy would likely see them remaining in the United Kingdom and enjoying the privileges of first-class citizens.
The Rwanda plan faced multiple legal challenges and saw no flights depart over the past several years.
According to data up to June 26, 13,195+ individuals reached the UK via small boat crossings in 2024, exceeding figures from the same period over the previous four years. Since 2018, nearly 120,000 people have arrived in the UK through this route.
Earlier this year, Rwandan President Paul Kagame suggested a potential refund to British taxpayers if the deal collapsed.
A surge in illegal crossings is now expected, much like the start of the Biden regime in the United States, with Labour Party policy as well as the end of the deportation scheme acting as further “pull factors” for illegal immigration.

Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour Party secured a landslide victory in the recent British, but significant upsets occurred as pro-Gaza independents gained traction against them. Notably, five independent candidates advocating for Gaza won parliamentary seats, signaling a shift in the Muslim vote away from Labour.
Labour’s vote share has dropped by an average of 11 points in constituencies where more than 10 percent of the population is Muslim.
Jonathan Ashworth, previously a member of the Labour Shadow Cabinet, lost his Leicester South seat to independent Shockat Adam. Adam’s campaign was heavily centered on Gaza.
Ashworth, who had a 22,000-vote majority in 2019, has previously argued that multiculturalism has not failed in Britain. He said he was disappointed with the result.
In Birmingham, Labour’s Khalid Mahmood was narrowly defeated by pro-Gaza independent Ayoub Khan. Similarly, Labour’s Heather Iqbal lost to independent Iqbal Mohamed, and Labour’s Kate Hollern was unseated by independent Adnan Hussain, who dedicated his victory to Gaza.
Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn also won a seat campaigning as an independent on a pro-Gaza platform.
Labour candidates in many areas with large Muslim populations experienced reduced majorities or only narrowly retained their seats. Health Secretary Wes Streeting secured his seat by just 528 votes against British Palestinian independent Leanne Mohamad.

Nigel Farage’s Reform Party has won a fifth seat in the House of Commons following a series of recounts in the South Basildon and East Thurrock constituency (electoral district). Previously held by the Conservatives, the seat came down to a battle between Reform and the Labour Party, which demanded a full recount after alleging mistakes in the initial counts handing victory to Reform.
Farage says Reform’s candidate in the constituency, James McMurdock, was a so-called “paper candidate, drafted in at the last minute” to fight the snap election, called by now-former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on short notice.
The “former City boy” joins Farage, party chairman Richard Tice, former Conservative Party deputy chairman Lee Anderson, and former Brexit Party representative Rupert Lowe to become what Farage describes as a “bridgehead” for Reform ahead of the next general election, which must take place by 2029.
“This is a bridgehead in the Parliament with many millions behind us,” Farage said to Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, shortly after his own election win.
“It’s not just what we do in Parliament that matters. I intend to build a mass movement around the country. Rallies, mass membership, getting ready to fight elections at local level, waiting for special elections to come up in Parliament. There is an energy behind this like you can’t believe,” he added.

Nigel Farage has set out his plans for the next five years after establishing a “bridgehead” in Britain’s Parliament and outlined the biggest threats to Western democracy.
Speaking to Ben Bergquam of Real America’s Voice, who has been covering the British election alongside Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, Farage cited the “closing down of free speech” and the teaching of “self-loathing about our nation, our identity, our culture, our history” in schools and universities.
“I don’t really blame the hard left for this. I blame conservative cowardice,” Farage said. “In this country over the last 14 years, the needle has moved sharply to the left on every single social and economic issue. Conservative cowardice is, actually, what has allowed the extremists on the left to bully us,” he stressed.
Speaking to @BenBergquam, Farage said the greatest threats to Western democracy are attacks on free speech, far-left propaganda in education, and a culture of “self-loathing” – and “conservative cowardice” in failing to stand up to any of it. pic.twitter.com/0GIO5dENIf
Mockery and swift ejection met hecklers attempting to disrupt Farage’s post-election press conference—tipped off by “reporters” known for “working with Antifa,” suspects Kassam.
Three other Reform Members of Parliament (MPs) joined Farage on stage: Reform chairman Richard Tice, former Conservative Party deputy chairman Lee Anderson, and former Brexit Party representative Rupert Lowe, who intends to donate his MP’s salary to charity.
A fifth Reform candidate may win in the South Basildon and East Thurrock constituency (electoral district). A full recount is underway as of the time of publication. It was initiated by Labour, complaining of mistakes in the initial count after the Reform candidate won.
GOING AFTER LABOUR.
At the presser, Farage stressed the public showed “absolutely no enthusiasm for Starmer’s Labour whatsoever,” referring to now-Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour Party. Despite winning a large legislative majority, Labour actually won fewer votes than in 2017 and 2019, and the lowest overall share of the vote of any party to win a parliamentary majority.
Some see Reform as a party of disgruntled Conservatives. However, Farage emphasizes that its “priority now is to go after Labour votes”—especially those of old-fashioned Labour voters who are “very patriotic” compared to the party’s woke, mostly middle-class modern incarnation.
ELECTORAL REFORM.
Farage says electoral reform is a priority objective, with Britain’s first-past-the-post voting system producing perverse results. Tice said Labor has only around twice as many votes as Reform, but 100 times its representation in Parliament. The Conservatives have similar overrepresentation. So do the Liberal Democrats, who are receiving dozens of seats on a significantly lower share of the national vote than Reform.
WIDER WORLD.
Discussing international politics, Farage says he is grateful for Donald Trump’s support. He predicts Marine Le Pen’s National Rally will perform well in the second round of France’s legislative elections on July 7.
He says he disagrees with Le Pen on economics, characterizing her approach as “big state.” However, he says her party is a much better option than the extreme left, which placed second in the first round of the French election, with Emmanuel Macron’s globalists falling to third place. He also says he understands the sentiments Le Pen’s party expresses “about La France, about their culture, their identity, the no-go zones.”

Donald Trump has congratulated Nigel Farage on winning a seat in the House of Commons in Britain’s snap election, writing, “Congratulations to Nigel Farage on his big WIN of a Parliament Seat Amid Reform UK Election Success,” on Truth Social. “Nigel is a man who truly loves his Country!”
Trump and Farage are longtime allies. The Brexit leader campaigned for the America First leader following his win in the 2016 European Union referendum. After he became President-elect, Trump hosted Farage at Trump Tower, alongside Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, and other prominent Brexit campaigners.
Speaking to Kassam after his election win, Farage reiterated his support for Trump, saying, “My success in ’16 was good news for Donald. I hope it is again. Go, Donald, go!”
The Brexit leader’s Reform Party has earned four parliamentary seats in total, but placed second in dozens of constituencies (electoral districts) and finished third in terms of overall vote share. It is a seismic shift in British politics, and Farage believes he can use his parliamentary “bridgehead” to challenge the incoming Labourgovernment in 2029.

Rishi Sunak has resigned as Prime Minister following his historic loss to the Labour Party. The leftist party has earned a landslide legislative majority, despite earning a lower vote share than in 2017, due to a collapse in Conservative (Tory) Party support.
Sunak began his resignation speech outside 10 Downing Street with a blunt “I’m sorry,” telling voters: “I have heard your anger, your disappointment, and I take responsibility for this loss.” He also confirmed he is standing down as Conservative Party leader, “not immediately” but once the arrangements for a successor are finalized.
Sunak praised Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer as a “decent, public-spirited man, who I respect.” He offered no remarks on Reform Party leader Nigel Farage, who won over a huge number of the Conservatives’ former voters, facilitating their historic defeat.
Sunak did not lead the Conservatives into their general election victory in 2019, when Boris Johnson was premier. After Johnson was ousted, he stood for the party leadership, and was heavily rejected by party members in favor of Liz Truss.
Nevertheless, he was installed as party leader and, by extension, Prime Minister within a matter of weeks by party politicians after Truss was ousted, too. Regular party members were not given an opportunity to vote against him a second time.
Conservative MPs’ insistence on forcing Sunak on the country appears to have been a mistake. His managerial, managed decline style of government, which has failed to stop illegal immigration or reduce legal mass migration, despite promises to do so, has ended in the party’s largest-ever loss of parliamentary seats.

Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour Party has won a huge landslide in Britain’s landslide, with the Conservatives crashing to 119 seats out of 650 after 14 years in government. Many have questioned why Britain seems to be turning left as America, France, the Netherlands, and other Western countries are turning towards the populist right—but the data suggests Labour’s victory is a product of Conservative collapse, with the leftist party achieving little or no growth in support.
Polling expert Sir John Curtice notes Labour’s roughly two-point rise in support countrywide is driven by a 19-point increase in support in Scotland, where the scandal-ridden, left-separatist Scottish National Party (SNP) has collapsed.
In England, Labour’s vote share remains essentially unchanged, while in Wales, where Labour has run the devolved government—roughly equivalent to a state government—their support has actually decreased.
“In many ways, this looks more like an election the Conservatives have lost than one Labour have won,” said Sir John, echoing the predictions of Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, prior to the election.
Overall, Sir Keir’s party has won around 65 percent of parliamentary seats on only around 35 percent of the vote, less than two points up on 2019 and significantly lower than in 2017, under the far-left Jeremy Corbyn.
Many voters simply stayed home rather than vote for any of the parties on offer, with one of the lowest turnouts in British history.
For once Sky has it spot on:
‘A thumping majority without a thumping share of the vote’
Starmer has less votes than Jeremy Corbyn in 2017 because he only offers more of the same
Corbyn, ejected from Labour by Sir Keir after he took over, ran as an independent, defeating his Labour challenger. Labour also lost four seats to pro-Gaza independents, all Muslims, including the seat of Shadow Cabinet member Jonathan Ashworth. Pro-Gaza candidates came very close to scalping other high-profile Labour candidates, such as Shadow Health Secretary Wes Streeting.
Media coverage is therefore focusing in large part on the breakthrough of Nigel Farage’s Reform Party, which has won only four seats outright but beaten the Conservatives and Labour into third place in many constituencies and placed third overall in terms of vote share.
Farage describes this parliamentary delegation as a “bridgehead,” saying he will use it to defeat Labour in 2029.
The combined vote share of Reform and Conservatives is significantly ahead of Labour’s.
Perversely, the fourth-placed Liberal Democrats have won dozens of seats, despite a far lower vote share than Reform, highlighting the increasing perversity of the British electoral system.

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.

Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, has explained things are “likely to get far, far worse in terms of woke and left-wing policies plaguing Britain before they get better” following the country’s July 4 snap election, even if Nigel Farage’s Reform Party manages to achieve a breakthrough.
Speaking from the Seconds Out boxing gym in Clacton-on-Sea, where Farage hopes to be returned as a Member of Parliament (MP), Kassam stressed that polls project Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour Party will win the British election with “quite a huge majority.”
The Conservatives (Tories) have been governing from the center-left for the last 14 years, but keep up a pretense of being opposed to woke ideology and mass legal and illegal immigration, despite allowing them to thrive. Labour does not even pretend to oppose these things and intends to scrap the Conservatives’ plan to remove illegal aliens to Rwanda once they take over, along with new voter ID requirements.
The key to Britain’s future prospects is a heavy defeat for the “RINO-like” Conservatives, allowing Farage’s party to displace them as the de facto opposition to Labour on the British right. This could facilitate a “reverse takeover” of the Conservatives by Reform, with Farage drawing parallels with the merger between Stephen Harper’s Reform Party and the Progressive Conservative Party in Canada, under Harper’s leadership.
“[I]t will take a lot of work; it will take a lot of money; it will take a lot of time,” Kassam said. “[But] this is sort of like the Trump train, and the momentum seems to be growing and growing.”

Photo ID will be required at polling stations for the first time in a British general election on July 4. This follows a report led by Lord Eric Pickles in 2016 highlighting risks of “significant abuse” under the previous system, with voters only required to confirm their name and address verbally.
Voters in England, Scotland, and Wales must now present photo identification, such as a passport or driving license, to vote. If voters lack these documents, a range of government-approved travel passes and voter authority certificates are also acceptable.
Northern Ireland has required photo ID for years already.
Lord Pickles’s report criticized authorities for being in a “state of denial” about electoral fraud. Nevertheless, leftist opposition parties such as Labour—projected to win the election by a substantial margin—and the Liberal Democrats remain opposed to the changes, claiming they disenfranchise ethnic minorities and groups such as transgenders and the “non-binary.”
MAIL-IN BALLOTS.
However, mail-in voting on demand remains in place, with substantially weaker security measures. Local elections involving Muslim Labour councilors (councilmen) were overturned in 2005 after a scheme involving corrupt mailmen, child ballot thieves, and bags of mail-in ballots arriving late to counts was exposed in court.
Neither the elections regulator nor the police investigated the scheme, with ordinary citizens having to bring a case to court under the Representation of the People Act. Judge Richard Mawrey KC ruled that the then-Labour government was presiding over “electoral fraud that would disgrace a banana republic.”
Shortly before the 2020 election in the U.S., Mawrey penned an article warning U.S. mail-in voting was even more open to abuse than British mail-in voting.
“Filling the register with fake voters or with the names of genuine people who actually live in some other district… is not difficult,” he explained.
“The problem is compounded by the fact that, in many states, the registration and returning officers (often the same person) may well be political appointments and not, as in the UK, apolitical local civil servants. Turning a blind eye to roll-stuffing is bound to be a temptation,” Mawrey continued, warning, “Well-targeted local fraud could sway this election.”
Recent polling research suggests roughly a fifth of mail-in ballots in 2020 were fraudulent.
