‘Get Your Act Together’ — Trump Laments ‘Horrible Invasion’ of Migrants ‘Killing Europe.’

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: President Donald J. Trump arrived in Scotland and criticized Britain’s handling of illegal migration.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: President Trump, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.

📍WHEN & WHERE: July 2025, Glasgow Airport, Scotland.

💬KEY QUOTE: “You better get your act together or you’re not going to have Europe anymore.” – President Trump

🎯IMPACT: Trump’s comments add pressure on British leadership to address rising illegal immigration issues.

IN FULL

President Donald J. Trump arrived in Scotland for a four-day visit and immediately addressed Britain’s illegal immigration issues. He urged Britain to “get its act together” to stop what he described as a “horrible invasion” affecting Europe.

“You better get your act together or you’re not going to have Europe anymore,” he said shortly after landing. “You’ve got to stop this horrible invasion that is happening to Europe, many countries in Europe.”

He continued: “Some leaders have not let it happen, and they’re not getting the proper credit… I could name them to you right now, but I’m not going to embarrass the other ones. But stop, this immigration is killing Europe.”

The America First leader highlighted his administration’s success in halting illegal entries, saying, “Last month we had nobody entering our country.”

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, of the left-wing Labour Party, faces increasing pressure to tackle illegal migration, with tens of thousands of migrants crossing the English Channel in small boats this year, with virtually none of them being deported. Many are being housed in often luxurious hotels at the taxpayers’ expense, despite being largely unvetted, with some committing crimes that have prompted riotous protests in recent weeks.

Trump plans to meet with Sir Keir and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen during his British trip. Despite his critical stance on the British premier’s handling of immigration, Trump commended the Prime Minister for successfully negotiating a U.S. trade deal—only possible as a result of Brexit—stating, “He got a trade deal done… It’s a good deal for the UK.”

Netflix Will Not Renew $100 Million Deal With Prince Harry and Meghan Markle: Reports.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Streaming platform Netflix has decided not to renew its reported $100 million deal with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and Netflix executives.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The deal, originally signed in 2020, will not be renewed, according to reports this week.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Netflix feel they’ve got all they can from the couple.”

🎯IMPACT: The end of the deal marks a significant loss of revenue for the couple and underscores the increasing decline in their influence since they abandoned their duties as working royals and turned on Harry’s family.

IN FULL

Netflix has reportedly chosen not to renew its $100 million deal with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, which began in 2020. Over the course of the partnership, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex released several projects, most notably the 2022 docuseries Harry & Meghan, which achieved 64 million viewing hours. However, later content did not maintain the same momentum, with Harry’s 2024 series Polo reportedly drawing only 500,000 views.

According to a source cited by The Sun newspaper, “Netflix feel they’ve got all they can from the couple. Netflix… got a hell of a lot of viewers for the first documentary series, and knew, realistically, it would prove the zenith of content from the Montecito pair.”

While no official statement is expected from either side, the door may not be entirely closed. “Publicly, there will not be a statement, and of course, if things change dramatically, they’d be open to a one-off project down the line,” the source noted.

This development comes in the wake of a poor reception for Meghan’s lifestyle show, With Love, Meghan. The program has spawned a number of viral parodies, with reviewers describing it as “queasy” and “exhausting.”

Harry and Meghan are still at odds with King Charles III, Harry’s father. Last year, it was reported that the King even considered stripping the pair of their royal titles, having long discussions on the matter with his heir, William, Harry’s elder brother.

Guests Kicked Out, Staff Fired So Four-Star Hotel Can Be Filled With Migrants.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Guests with prior bookings at the four-star Britannia Hotel in Canary Wharf, London, were turned away without notice after Britain’s Home Office acquired the property to house asylum seekers. Staff were also reportedly fired.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: The Home Office, Tower Hamlets Council, local police, and affected hotel guests.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Tuesday at the Britannia Hotel, located in Canary Wharf, London.

💬KEY QUOTE: “We are aware of the government’s decision to use the Britannia Hotel in Canary Wharf to provide temporary accommodation for asylum seekers.” – Tower Hamlets Council spokesman.

🎯IMPACT: Heightened security presence, booking suspensions, and increased political tension and social unrest over illegal immigrants being lavished with public money.

IN FULL

Visitors with existing reservations at the four-star Britannia Hotel in Canary Wharf, London, were unexpectedly denied entry on July 22 after the British Home Office—roughly equivalent to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS)—repurposed the property to house asylum seekers. Tourists were captured on video being refused access at the entrance, while security personnel stood behind locked glass doors. Major booking websites have since halted all reservations for the upscale, four-star hotel located in one of London’s most affluent districts. Staff were also reportedly fired.

Tower Hamlets Council has acknowledged the situation, confirming that the facility is being used to provide temporary shelter. A spokesman stated, “We are aware of the government’s decision to use the Britannia Hotel in Canary Wharf to provide temporary accommodation for asylum seekers. It is important that the government ensures that there is a full package of support for those staying at the hotel. We are working with the Home Office and partners to make sure that all necessary safety and safeguarding arrangements are in place.”

The site has seen a noticeable increase in security, including police officers stationed at the entrance. Lee Anderson, a Member of Parliament (MP) for Nigel Farage’s Reform Party, commented on the situation: “It must cost a couple of hundred quid [pounds] a night to stay there. Most normal people in this country would not even be able to afford to come and stay here for a weekend.”

The Home Office has rejected any connection between the decision in Canary Wharf and recent disturbances in Epping, where tensions flared outside another asylum seeker hotel. That unrest followed the arrest of an Ethiopian migrant on multiple sexual assault allegations and led to confrontations between protesting families—branded “far-right” by Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer—and pro-migrant counter-protesters, prompting the deployment of riot police.

Speaking about the Epping protests, Reform leader Nigel Farage voiced his support for residents: “Do I understand how people in Epping feel? You bet your life I do… Don’t underestimate the simmering anger and disgust that there is in this country that we are letting in every week, in fact, some days, many hundreds of undocumented young males, many of whom come from cultures in which women and young girls are not even treated as second-class citizens.”

In response to growing public unease, Prime Minister Starmer has urged immediate measures to prevent further disturbances. However, critics argue that the leftist Labour government has not effectively addressed immigration challenges, pointing to persistent levels of illegal entry and continued high rates of legal migration.

Farage’s Reform Party Scores Another Major Defection.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Laura Anne Jones, a lawmaker in the Welsh Parliament, or Senedd, has defected from the Conservatives to the Reform Party, becoming its first Member of the Senedd (MS).

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Laura Anne Jones, Nigel Farage, Welsh Conservative leader Darren Millar, and Plaid Cymru (Party of Wales) leader Rhun ap Iorwerth.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Announced at the Royal Welsh Show in Llanelwedd on Tuesday.

💬KEY QUOTE: “I’ve just suddenly felt that the Conservative Party was unrecognisable to me. It wasn’t the party that I joined over three decades ago.” – Laura Anne Jones

🎯IMPACT: The defection reduces the Conservative presence in the Welsh Parliament to 14 and raises the prospect of further defections, with polls indicating Reform will come out well ahead of the Conservatives in the Welsh elections next year.

IN FULL

Laura Anne Jones, a Senedd (Welsh Parliament) lawmaker, has left the Conservative Party to join the populist Reform Party, as announced by party leader Nigel Farage at the Royal Welsh Show. This move makes her the first Member of the Senedd (MS) for Reform in Wales and represents the party’s highest-profile defection in the region.

Jones stated that she could no longer justify Conservative policies to voters. “I’ve just suddenly felt that the Conservative Party was unrecognisable to me. It wasn’t the party that I joined over three decades ago,” she said, adding that Reform “is listening to the people of Great Britain.”

The announcement has sparked anger among Welsh Conservatives. Darren Millar, leader of the Senedd Conservative group, expressed disappointment, saying voters in South Wales East would feel “very let down by her announcement.” He added, “We wish Laura all the very best in her new high tax and high spend party.” However, despite his snide remarks, polls suggest Reform is likely to place well ahead of the Conservatives in next year’s Senedd elections.

Nigel Farage praised Jones for her experience, stating, “She knows how the place works, and that’s very important for us.” Jones has previously been critical of the Labour-led Welsh government—roughly equivalent to a U.S. state government—for its policies, particularly on issues like education, healthcare, and support for farmers.

The defection is just the latest for Reform and comes just weeks after former Conservative Party chairman Sir Jake Berry joined the party, a major blow to current Tory leader Olukemi “Kemi” Olufunto Adegoke Badenoch.

World Economic Forum Doctored Data to Make Brexit Look Bad.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: The globalist World Economic Forum (WEF) has been accused of manipulating research to portray Brexit negatively.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: WEF chief Klaus Schwab, WEF staff, and whistleblowers.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Allegations surfaced in July 2025; incidents relate to a 2017/2018 economic report.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Every conspiracy theory about Klaus Schwab now turns out to be true.” – Brexit champion Nigel Farage

🎯IMPACT: Alleged anti-democratic practices at the WEF have been exposed, raising serious questions about its integrity.

IN FULL

The globalist World Economic Forum (WEF) has come under scrutiny following allegations that its leader, Klaus Schwab, manipulated research data to undermine Brexit. Whistleblowers say that Schwab personally intervened in the organization’s Global Competitiveness Report to prevent the United Kingdom from appearing successful post-Brexit.

In 2017, Britain’s ranking in the report was altered from an improvement to a decline, allegedly at Schwab’s direction. He told staffers Britain “must not see any improvement” in its economic position as this would be “exploited by the Brexit camp”—by proving that Brexit supporters were right to argue that voting to Leave the European Union (EU) in 206 would not result in economic disaster.

An internal investigation by the WEF, prompted by a whistleblower, also looked into Schwab’s conduct, including misusing funds and improper interactions with staff. The organization hosts the Davos summit in Davos, Switzerland, every year, bringing together politicians, plutocrats, and nonprofits to push post-national, globalist ideology.

Nigel Farage, the leader of Britain’s rising Reform Party and Brexit’s leading proponent, responded to the revelations by saying, “Every conspiracy theory about Klaus Schwab now turns out to be true.”

Lord David Frost, one of the negotiators for the British government following the Brexit vote, said it was “rare we get such clear direct evidence of the global establishment’s hostility to Brexit,” adding: “Schwab’s alleged deliberate downgrading of Brexit Britain in his Global Competitiveness Report, directly contrary to the actual evidence, shows how deeply embedded distrust of national independence is, and how determined so many people are to suppress any discussion of its benefits.”

Hundreds of Migrants in Taxpayer-Funded Hotels Charged With Rape and Other Crimes.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Hundreds of asylum seekers housed in taxpayer-funded hotels have been charged with criminal offences, including rape, robbery, and theft, according to court records.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Migrants staying in 105 asylum hotels across the United Kingdom, with cases involving at least one in every 100 migrants appearing before magistrates this year.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The cases were monitored during the first six months of 2025 across courts in Britain.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Women are being raped and sexually assaulted and even police officers attacked. We just need to deport them all immediately upon arrival.” – Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp

🎯IMPACT: The findings highlight concerns over migrant crime, with calls for more deportations and stricter border control measures.

IN FULL

Court records reveal that at least 339 migrants housed in taxpayer-funded hotels have appeared before British magistrates so far this year, charged with offences ranging from rape and robbery to assault to theft. The data shows that at least one in every 100 migrants in these accommodations has faced court proceedings.

Among the cases, 29 were related to sexual crimes, including seven alleged rapes and one proven incident of exposure. A further 64 cases involved violence-related offences such as assault, grievous bodily harm (GBH), and possession of weapons. For instance, an Ethiopian migrant was remanded in custody after allegedly trying to kiss a 14-year-old schoolgirl just eight days after arriving in Britain.

Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp criticized the government’s handling of illegal immigration, stating, “Women are being raped and sexually assaulted and even police officers attacked. We just need to deport them all immediately upon arrival, whether to Rwanda or elsewhere.” He added that illegal immigrants crossing the Channel are “Twenty-four times more likely to wind up in prison than average.”

However, while illegal immigration has worsened under Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour Party, the boat migrants crisis, initially exposed by Nigel Farage, began and steadily worsened under Philp’s Conservative Party, which governed from 2010 to mid-2024.

Police Run Over Anti-Immigration Protester After Migrant Sex Attack.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Social media footage shows British police striking an anti-migration protester with their van amid protests against an asylum seeker accused of three counts of sexual assault.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Essex Police, anti-immigration protesters, far-left counter-protesters, Assistant Chief Constable Stuart Hooper.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The incidents occurred in Epping, England, on July 17.

💬KEY QUOTE: “[W]e’ll make sure that those people feel the full force of the law,” Assistant Chief Constable Stuart Hooper said of the protesters.

🎯IMPACT:  The protests are just part of a larger trend as local people across Europe demonstrate against migrant crime, with some demonstrations turning violent. 

IN FULL

An anti-immigration protester was run over by a British police van in Epping, England, during a demonstration against an alleged sexual assault committed by a migrant living at a local hotel at taxpayers’ expense. Police are also alleged to have directly aided leftist counter-protesters.

The incident took place on July 17 amid a protest outside the local Bell Hotel, where counter-protesters from the far-left group “Stand Up to Racism” were also present. According to footage posted on X, Essex Police not only mobilized to protect the leftist counter-protesters but also aided them by transporting them away in police vans.

Police say some protesters became violent when confronted by officers, with two arrests after men wearing masks allegedly assaulted eight officers. “[W]e’ll make sure that those people feel the full force of the law,” Assistant Chief Constable Stuart Hooper said following the clashes. None of the officers sustained serious injuries.

Essex Police said that they not only saw resistance outside the Bell Hotel but were also confronted with “significant hostility” in Epping town center and were forced to call on London‘s Metropolitan Police and the British Transport Police (BTP) for aid.

The protests come after asylum seeker Hadush Gerberslasie Kebatu, 38, was charged with three counts of sexual assault on July 17. A resident of the Bell Hotel, Kebatu, came illegally to the United Kingdom less than a month ago, on June 29.

The protests are part of a larger trend across Europe in which locals have become enraged to the point of violence over migration-background men sexually harassing or raping local girls and women, or committing other heinous crimes. In Northern Ireland, similar protests were seen in Ballymena last month after two teenage migrants allegedly tried to rape a local girl. At least 17 police officers were injured after being attacked by protesters, who also targeted the homes of migrants in the town.

Notably, British police tend to take a far more hands-off approach when dealing with Muslim, ethnic minority, and far-left protesters; allowing Muslims to riot in Birmingham last year on the basis that “community leaders” told them they could “police themselves,” for instance, and allowing climate extremists to block roads on multiple occasions.

Far-Left UK Govt Dropping Voting Age to 16, Weakening Voter ID—Farage May Benefit.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: The British government announced plans to lower the voting age to 16 before the next general election, alongside weakening voter ID rules and a move toward automatic voter registration.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and the far-left Labour Party, Democracy Minister Rushanara Ali, and the Electoral Commission.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The changes are set to be implemented before the next general election, which must occur no later than 2029, across the United Kingdom.

💬KEY QUOTE: “At 16, a young person can work, they pay taxes, they can join the Army. So there’s no reason why from that age, they shouldn’t have a say in who governs our country.” – Rushanara Ali

🎯IMPACT: The proposed changes would expand the electorate by approximately 1.5 million 16 and 17-year-olds and introduce new voter ID and registration systems.

IN FULL

Britain’s leftist Labour Party government has announced significant electoral changes, lowering the voting age to 16 before the next general election. This change, part of broader election reforms, also includes expanding the range of acceptable voter ID and exploring automated voter registration systems.

Democracy Minister Rushanara Ali defended the decision, stating, “At 16, a young person can work, they pay taxes, they can join the Army. So there’s no reason why from that age, they shouldn’t have a say in who governs our country.” This marks the most significant change to the electorate since the voting age was reduced from 21 to 18 in 1969.

The reforms mean that 16 and 17-year-olds will now be able to vote in all British elections. Young people will also be allowed to register to vote from age 14. However, the age to stand as a candidate remains at 18.

Additionally, changes to voter ID rules will allow voters to use even British bank cards displaying their names as proof of identity, alongside existing forms of ID such as passports and driving licenses, significantly weakening security. Automated voter registration is also being explored, with pilot programs already underway in Wales.

The next general election must be held by August 2029, but it could occur earlier at Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s discretion.

Polling reveals that half of those aged 16 and 17 do not even want to be able to vote, and only 18 percent said they would vote if an election were tomorrow.

Reform Party leader Nigel Farage believes lowering the voting age could benefit Labour due to a strong left-wing bias in the educational system. On X, Farage said, “Giving 16 and 17-year-olds the right to vote is an attempt to rig the political system,” but he added that Labour may be in for a shock as Reform polls in second place among the same demographic.

The populist party appears to be particularly popular among young men; a phenomenon that has also been observed in countries such as Germany and Poland.

Over 1.2 Million Migrants on Welfare, 700,000 Jobless.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Official figures reveal over 1.26 million migrants are now claiming Universal Credit in Britain, a sharp increase from 883,470 in 2022.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Non-British nationals, including refugees and humanitarian visa holders, make up the claimants.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Figures disclosed in 2025 by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).

💬KEY QUOTE: “Politicians claim that immigration is going to bring the best and brightest here, but we can see from the stats that’s not true. We are importing large numbers of people who will be a burden on taxpayers. This is madness and damaging our living standards.” – Neil O’Brien MP

🎯IMPACT: The rise in migrant claimants has prompted calls for welfare reform, with concerns over sustainability and fairness for taxpayers.

IN FULL

According to newly released official figures, more than 1.26 million migrants are now claiming Universal Credit (UC) welfare benefits in Britain. The number jumped from 883,470 in 2022 to over 1.26 million in 2024, a sharp increase in just two years. Data from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) shows European Union (EU) migrants represent the largest group, with 770,379 claimants. Additionally, 211,090 are non-EU nationals with Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR), 118,749 are refugees, 54,156 hold humanitarian visas, and 75,267 are on time-limited visas. A further 33,240 are classified as ‘other’.

Conservative MP Neil O’Brien criticized current policies, saying, “Politicians claim that immigration is going to bring the best and brightest here, but we can see from the stats that’s not true. We are importing large numbers of people who will be a burden on taxpayers. This is madness and damaging our living standards.”

The increase in migrant claimants has sparked debate over the sustainability of the British welfare system, with concerns about its impact on public finances and working families already facing a cost-of-living crisis. John O’Connell, Chief Executive of the TaxPayers’ Alliance, warned: “Britain is sleepwalking into a culture of worklessness, with millions of Brits effectively dumped onto the welfare pile, all the while the system appears as a treasure chest for foreign nationals.”

WATCH: Farage Reacts to Thousands of Afghans Being Imported in Secret.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Reform Party leader Nigel Farage has reacted to news of a secret scheme to relocate thousands of Afghans to the United Kingdom, concealed from the public for years by a so-called superinjunction.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: The British government, the Conservative (Tory) Party, the Labour Party, and Nigel Farage.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Farage discussed the scandal on July 15. The secret relocation efforts have been ongoing since 2023.

💬KEY QUOTE: “The Afghan scandal has broken. Extraordinary that a British government put a superinjunction on all the British media that lasted over two years to cover up a story of incompetence, dishonesty, and a threat to our own national security.” – Nigel Farage

🎯IMPACT: The operation has taken the cost of importing Afghans to Britain to an estimated £7 billion (~$9.4 billion), with concerns over national security and public safety.

IN FULL

Nigel Farage has reacted to the massive scandal involving the British government secretly importing thousands of Afghans to the United Kingdom, hidden from the public until now by a so-called superinjunction that gagged the British press.

The plan, initiated in 2023, aimed to bring around 25,000 Afghans to Britain, as a result of the Ministry of Defence (MOD) accidentally leaking the details of people who had applied for relocation the previous year. Notably, many of these Afghans were unvetted, or had their applications rejected—but the government decided they should be imported anyway, due to the leak potentially putting them in danger. Among those relocated were migrants with criminal backgrounds, raising serious security concerns.

“The Afghan scandal has broken. Extraordinary that a British government put a superinjunction on all the British media that lasted over two years to cover up a story of incompetence, dishonest, and a threat to our own national security,” Farage said in a video statement published on X.

“An email missent published the names of 100,000 people in Afghanistan… Many of them had helped us during that 20-year war there; others were known to us for, frankly, just being bad people… Amongst the number that have come are convicted sex offenders—I am not, I promise you, making any of this up—and the total cost of the operation’s been a staggering £7 billion,” he continued.

“Of those that came, none of them were included in the immigration figures. There has been a total veil of secrecy put upon this by the last Conservative government, and, frankly, carried on until now by the current Labour government. The numbers are off the charts, the cost is beyond comprehension, and the threat to women walking the streets of this country, frankly, is incalculable,” he added.

Notably, Afghans have the highest sex offending rate per capita of any nationality in the United Kingdom, being over 22 times more likely to be convicted than British nationals.

The British government has long sought to keep the public in the dark about Afghan relocations, refusing, for instance, to disclose how many Afghans evacuated to Britain in the immediate aftermath of the Taliban takeover in Kabul were on watchlists, on the grounds that it might cause discrimination.
