Sir Keir Starmer, leader of the Labour Party, is deflecting criticism of his plans to stop working after 6 PM on Fridays if he becomes Prime Minister by invoking Judaism. Sir Keir, projected to win Britain’s July 4 snap election by a large margin, has hit back at critics, saying, “I would have thought to anybody it’s blindingly obvious that a Friday night is quite important in some religions and faiths.”
Shabbat, the Jewish Day of Rest, begins at sunset on Fridays. However, unlike his wife, the Labour leader is neither religiously nor ethnically Jewish, so it not clear why criticism of his desire to avoid work on Fridays would be anti-Semitic, as his defenders claim.

The Starmer family does not even observe Shabbat at all times, with Sir Keir telling the press, “Obviously [his wife’s] dad’s side of the family is Jewish, as people will appreciate, and we use that for family prayers—not every Friday, but not infrequently.”
Sir Keir’s father is said to have been a militant atheist, while his mother was Anglican. He claims he was “brought up Church of England, loosely” and is now an atheist. There is no evidence of Jewish ancestors in his family tree.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak says he has not “finished at 6 PM ever” and that clocking off so early in the evening would leave him unable to do the job properly.
Sunak’s Conservative Party is branding the Labour leader ‘Sir Sleepy’ and pitching voters that they “deserve better than a part-time prime minister,” in hopes this attack line will avert what is projected to be a “massacre” at the ballot box on Thursday.
❓WHAT HAPPENED: The United States and Switzerland reached a trade agreement reducing tariffs on Swiss goods from 39 percent to 15 percent as part of a new trade pact.

💬KEY QUOTE: “They’re going to send a lot of manufacturing here to the United States—pharmaceuticals, gold smelting, railway equipment.” – Jamieson Greer
🎯IMPACT: Swiss companies plan to invest $200 billion in the U.S. by 2028, while the deal also opens up new markets for U.S. agricultural and industrial products.

President Donald J. Trump agreed to cut U.S. tariffs on Switzerland from 39 percent—the highest outside those he has imposed on Brazil and China—to 15 percent as part of a new trade deal with the notoriously neutral European country. According to the Swiss government, the United States entered into a “non-binding memorandum of understanding” following successful bilateral talks in Washington, D.C.
The trade agreement was confirmed by United States Trade Representative Jamieson Greer on Friday. He stated that the U.S. and Switzerland have “essentially reached a deal.” Under its terms, the U.S. government will reduce tariffs on Switzerland and Liechtenstein—a European microstate that often negotiates alongside its larger neighbor—to 15 percent. Notably, this brings the tariff rate on Swiss goods into alignment with the rate on the European Union (EU), which Switzerland is not a member of.
For their part of the agreement, Switzerland has agreed to reduce a number of its tariffs on American goods. U.S. industries seeing relief include fishing and agriculture. The Swiss government says it will also grant certain U.S. exports duty-free status. This includes thousands of tons of U.S. beef and poultry.
“They’re going to send a lot of manufacturing here to the United States—pharmaceuticals, gold smelting, railway equipment,” Greer said regarding the deal. Several Swiss companies, such as Rolex, have pledged sizable direct investments in the American economy.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Announced late Thursday, November 13, 2025, in Washington, D.C.; agreements to be finalized in upcoming weeks.
🎯IMPACT: The agreements will expand U.S. exports, strengthen bilateral trade partnerships, and create opportunities for American workers and producers.
IN FULL
Late Thursday, President Donald J. Trump announced three critical trade agreements with key western allies, El Salvador, Argentina, Ecuador, and Guatemala. The Trump White House contends these trade deals will provide greater market access and streamline trade with some of America’s key strategic partners in the Western Hemisphere.
According to the agreements, the four Central and South American nations will reduce non-tariff barriers, increasing market opportunities for U.S. exporters. The Trump administration notes that El Salvador—for instance—has agreed to accept U.S. motor vehicle safety standards and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) certificates for medical devices, while Argentina will improve market access for American goods such as medicines and machinery. Guatemala will facilitate digital trade and protect labor rights, and Ecuador will reduce tariffs on agricultural products and adopt stronger environmental protections.
These measures are designed to support U.S. farmers, ranchers, small businesses, and manufacturers while protecting national security and strengthening supply chains. Separately, the U.S. secured rare earth mineral agreements with Argentina after providing the nation with a fiscal aid package designed to stabilize its currency.
In the coming weeks, the United States and the partner nations will finalize the agreements for signature. These deals will also include provisions for Most Favored Nation tariff treatment on certain goods and the removal of reciprocal tariffs on textiles and apparel under existing trade agreements with El Salvador and Guatemala.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: RedBird Capital Partners, IMI, Telegraph Media Group, and its employees, including editor Chris Evans and CEO Anna Jones.
📍WHEN & WHERE: The announcement was made this week, following a process that began in 2021 in the United Kingdom.
💬KEY QUOTE: “The Telegraph deserves owners whocare about journalism and who will invest.” – Chris Evans
🎯IMPACT: The futureownership of the Telegraph Media Group remains uncertain, with efforts now shifting to find a new buyer.
IN FULL
RedBird Capital Partners has withdrawn its £500 million (~$658 million) bid to acquire Britain’s Telegraph Media Group, ending a takeover saga that has lasted more than two years. A spokesman for RedBird said, “We remain fully confident that the Telegraph and its world-class team have a bright future ahead of them and will work hard to secure a solution which is in the best interests of employees and readers.”
The decision follows internal resistance from senior staff as well as scrutiny triggered by the bid’s structure. Chris Evans, editor of The Telegraph newspaper, acknowledged the widespread concerns across the newsroom, saying, “It’s no secret that all senior editors and many writers had concerns about the bid. On the other hand, it’s also obvious that this process has gone on far, far too long. The Telegraph deserves owners who care about journalism and who will invest.”
Telegraph Media Group CEO Anna Jones thanked employees for enduring the prolonged period of uncertainty, saying, “I will now work with the board of independent directors on next steps and what this means for the future ownership of the business. This process has been challenging and unpredictable but your hard work and continued patience is a credit to you all.”
RedBird’s withdrawal marks the second failed attempt to bring the Telegraph under the influence of its partnership, led by former CNN president Jeff Zucker and Abu Dhabi–backed International Media Investments (IMI). Zucker was previously linked to attempts to take over both the Telegraph and The Spectator in 2023, raising questions about foreign influence over British media. Those plans stalled after the British government introduced legislation preventing foreign governments from owning British newspapers. Zucker’s involvement again drew scrutiny in 2024 and 2025, with critics pointing to IMI’s close ties to the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Zucker insisted he would resign if any interference occurred.
The collapse of the latest deal leaves TheTelegraph back on the market as its board searches for a buyer who can satisfy political, regulatory, and editorial expectations at a time when the broader British media industry faces an escalating crisis of confidence. The BBC, for instance, is confronting significant turmoil over a purposely falsified speech by President Donald J. Trump on January 6, 2021, to make it appear he had incited violence. The fallout triggered the resignation of senior BBC executives, including Director-General Tim Davie, and has intensified public scrutiny of journalistic standards across major British outlets.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Met Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley, London Mayor Sir Sadiq Khan, and London Assembly members, including Susan Hall.
📍WHEN & WHERE: The update was provided during a London Assembly meeting on Thursday in London.
💬KEY QUOTE: “It is important for us to use precise language and consider its impact on victims and public understanding,” said Sir Mark Rowley.
🎯IMPACT: The investigation faces challenges due to the scale of cases, resource limitations, and the need for clarity in public discourse.
IN FULL
The Metropolitan Police in London, England, say they are currently pursuing only “tens of cases” in their large-scale review of historic child sex abuse, even though nearly 9,000 were initially flagged for potential reinvestigation. Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley told officials, including London Mayor Sir Sadiq Khan, that after examining 2,200 of those cases in detail, just 1,200 still fell within the parameters of the inquiry. However, he added that once all preliminary checks are completed, an estimated 2,000 to 3,000 cases may ultimately qualify for renewed investigation.
Rowley urged caution in describing the review as a probe into “grooming gangs,” explaining that the national audit had used an expansive definition that included familial abuse, institutional failures, peer-on-peer exploitation, and online offending. Because of this wide scope, he warned that the public perception of grooming gangs does not necessarily align with the types of cases being examined. He stressed that the offenders reflect “the diversity of London’s population,” which is around two-thirds non-white.
“We do not see the typology reported elsewhere where there have been cases of offending committed by groups of Pakistani men on white British children being the sole or majority case,” he claimed.
Mayor Sadiq Khan also faced criticism over accusations that he downplayed grooming gang concerns and mocked victims by Conservative Susan Hall. “In January, I asked if we had grooming gangs in London. You dismissed my question by pretending you didn’t know what I meant,” Hall said.
Other investigations have described police and social services repeatedly missing opportunities to intervene, particularly in cases involving vulnerable white girls targeted by older South Asian men working in coordinated groups. Police and local officials feared being accused of racism, or damaging so-called “community relations.”
Police forces outside London have recently announced new arrests linked to historic grooming gang abuse, including a case in West Yorkshire in which 19 men were detained on suspicion of offences such as rape, sexual assault, and trafficking.

🎯IMPACT: The case has reignited debates over sanctuary state policies and their impact on public safety.
IN FULL
Barry William Tutt, a 71-year-old man from California, was killed last Friday in a hit-and-run incident in Orange County. The suspect, Humberto Munoz-Gatica, a 57-year-old Mexican illegal immigrant, was reportedly driving under the influence when he struck Tutt and fled the scene. Witnesses helped law enforcement locate Munoz-Gatica, who now faces charges related to hit-and-run and suspicion of DUI.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued a statement condemning California’s sanctuary state policies, which hinder cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. “This criminal illegal alien from Mexico, Humberto Munoz-Gatica, was released by the Obama Administration. He NEVER should have been here,” DHS posted on X (formerly Twitter), adding: “How many Americans must be killed before [Gavin Newsom’s] sanctuary state of California works with federal law enforcement—instead of against them?”
DHS Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs, Tricia McLaughlin, added that this tragedy is “yet another example of sanctuary and open border policies putting American lives at risk.” According to DHS, Munoz-Gatica entered the United States on a tourist visa that expired in 2008. He was arrested by ICE in 2011 under the former Obamagovernment, but was later released into the country. DHS noted that he has a prior conviction for grand theft.
Democrat California Governor Gavin Newsom office responded to DHS’s criticism, with Brandon Richards, Newsom’s spokesman, claiming that “Despite the Trump Admin’s repeated false claims, California cooperates with the federal government when it comes to criminals.”

💬KEY QUOTE: “This mission defends our Homeland, removes narco-terrorists from our Hemisphere, and secures our Homeland from the drugs that are killing our people.” – Pete Hegseth
🎯IMPACT: The operation aims to dismantle drug networks and secure the U.S. from narco-terrorist threats.
IN FULL
U.S. War Secretary Pete Hegseth announced late Thursday the expansion of Operation Southern Spear. Initially launched by the U.S. Navy in January 2025 as a program to monitor illicit drug trafficking in the U.S. Southern Command Area of Responsibility (USSOUTHCOM AOR), the mission will expand with the inclusion of significant military assets now present in the Caribbean.
“Led by Joint Task Force Southern Spear and SOUTHCOM, this mission defends our Homeland, removes narco-terrorists from our Hemisphere, and secures our Homeland from the drugs that are killing our people,” Secretary Hegseth wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter). He added: “The Western Hemisphere is America’s neighborhood—and we will protect it.”
Notably, the United States has conducted a significant buildup of Navy and Air Force assets in the Caribbean, with the USS Gerald R. Ford—the world’s largest warship and aircraft carrier—entering the region, along with the deployment of F-35s to Puerto Rico and major naval deployments near Venezuela. The U.S military recently carried out its 20th strike on alleged drug-tracking boats, according to a Pentagon official. The most recent strike reportedly killed four suspected narco-terrorists.
The National Pulse has previously reported that President Trump is weighing potential options for operations in Venezuela, including possible land strikes, though no final decisions have been made. Military strikes against Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro’s regime have long been anticipated.
Recently, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasized to the Maduro regime that the U.S. strikes will only stop if Venezuela stops the cartel boats from entering the Caribbean. Maduro is accused of being the clandestine head of the Soles drug cartel, which is believed to be the key drug supplier to other criminal and Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs) like Tren de Aragua.

The Prosecuting Attorneys Council of Georgia (PACGA) announced Friday that its executive director, Peter Skanadlakis, has appointed himself to oversee the disgraced Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis‘s RICO prosecution against President Donald J. Trump. Skanadlakis’s takeover of the case comes after PACGA was tasked with finding a replacement for Willis, who was disqualified from her prosecution due to numerous ethical breaches. Notably, this is not the first time that Skanadlakis taken over one of Willis’s cases after she was disqualified.
“Several prosecutors were contacted and, while all were respectful and professional, each declined the appointment,” Skanadlakis said in an announcement on Friday, contending that the lack of interest in the case forced his own appointment. Notably, PACGA faced a November 14 deadline to name Willis’s replacement, or the case would be dismissed.
Previously, after courts removed Willis from probing Georgia Lt. Gov. Burt Jones (R), the PACGA spent 21 months before designating Skandalakis to helm the inquiry—only for him to eventually forgo any charges. Steve Sadow, lead defense counsel for Trump, expressed confidence in a dismissal, asserting that the prosecution is politically motivated. “We remain confident that a fair and impartial review will lead to a dismissal of the case against President Trump,” he stated.
Skanadlakis emphasized the public’s interest in the case and committed to a thorough review, stating, “The decision to assume responsibility for this matter was reached only after careful and deliberate consideration.”

🎯IMPACT: Vance’s comments highlight his focus on the midterms.
IN FULL
Vice President J.D. Vance appeared on addressed speculation about a potential presidential run in 2028 in a Fox News interview on Thursday. Vance said he will discuss the matter with President Donald J. Trump after the 2026 midterms, but stressed that they are his immediate focus, being key to securing the President’s agenda.
“I [have] thought about what that moment might look like after the midterm elections, sure, but… I try to put it out of my head and remind myself the American people elected me to do a job right now, and my job is to do it,” Vance said, explaining: “[I]f you start getting distracted and focused on what comes next, I think it actually makes you worse at the job that you have.”
Vance, a favorite among MAGA supporters, is seen as a leading Republican contender for 2028. Early polls suggest he is competitive in a hypothetical matchup against California Governor Gavin Newsom, a likely Democratic candidate.
“I really want us to win the midterms because if the Democrats get in power, they’re going to try to screw up a lot of the great things the President of the United States has done over the past ten months,” Vance said, emphasizing that some of the proverbial “trees” the administration has planted will take a few years to “bear fruit,” reiterating, “I don’t want the Democrats to screw that up.”
Regarding a potential contest with Secretary of State Marco Rubio for the 2028 nomination, Vance was conciliatory, saying, “If Marco eventually runs for President… we can cross that bridge when we come to it, adding that “if either one of us end up running, it’s a long, long ways in the future, and neither of us is entitled to it.”

💬KEY QUOTE: “Your video actually spliced together the presentation… That’s the type of messaging here that so many people in my country find frustrating.” – Mick Mulvaney
🎯IMPACT: The Newsnight edit is similar to a doctored Panorama edit, which has already led to a $1 billion lawsuit threat from President Trump.
IN FULL
Another doctored BBC clip of a speech by President Donald J. Trump on January 6, 2021, has resurfaced. On the de facto state broadcaster’s flagship Newsnight programme on June 9, 2022, the America First leader was shown saying, “We’re gonna walk down to the Capitol and we’re gonna cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women—and we fight. We fight like hell and if you don’t fight like hell you aren’t gonna have a country any more.” In fact, he said, “Now, it is up to Congress to confront this egregious assault on our democracy. And after this, we’re going to walk down, and I’ll be there with you, we’re going to walk down, we’re going to walk down. Anyone you want, but I think right here, we’re going to walk down to the Capitol, and we’re going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women, and we’re probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them.” The “fight” comments are taken from another section of his speech, around an hour later.
This echoes the scandal around a Panorama broadcast shortly before the 2024 elections that stripped essential details from Trump’s comments even more manipulatively, to make it look as though he was exhorting an assault on the Capitol. This has already prompted the resignation of the BBC’s director-general and head of news, and prompted threats of a $1 billion legal action from President.
Even Mick Mulvaney, a former Trump White House chief of staff turned Trump critic, condemned the Newsnight cut at the time while appearing as a guest on the show. “I’m no apologist for the President; I quit my job over this… [But] your video actually spliced together the presentation… That’s the type of messaging here that so many people in my country find frustrating… it’s hard to actually get the facts,” he said.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The footage was released on social media by RightNow on November 12.
💬KEY QUOTE: “There are very few clinicians who would consider that life.” – Abortion doctor on premature babies born at 22 weeks in a pregnancy.
🎯IMPACT: The footage pushes back at many who claim that late-term abortions in Canada are rare or require a medical reason for being performed.
IN FULL
Pro-life activists in Toronto, Canada, have revealed how easy it is for women to procure late-term abortions, releasing undercover footage of medical professionals who have no qualms whatsoever about aborting a baby as late as eight months into a pregnancy. The footage, released by the pro-life campaign group RightNow, shows one of its activists, who was 22 weeks pregnant at the time, seeking advice on abortions at the Cabbagetown Women’s Clinic in Toronto.
The activist was told the procedure would cost the equivalent of just over $1,500 USD and that, notably, the clinic only accepted cash. An abortion counsellor named Linda informed her that at 22 weeks, she was at the borderline for an abortion at the Cabbagetown clinic, which performs abortions to 24 weeks, but noted a nearby hospital would perform abortions even later in a pregnancy. “I sent them to Women’s College Hospital, it’s a hospital that’s close by,” Linda states, adding: “They don’t have a limit. They sometimes go up to 32 weeks, I believe.”
Linda describes the late-term abortion procedure as taking up to three days, starting with an injection meant to kill the baby in the womb by stopping its heart, as this supposedly makes the abortion “safer.” Linda also claims the baby has no “consciousness,” claiming that even if there were, the injection is made to “prevent it.”
The activist then speaks to a female abortion doctor, who clarifies to her that there is no limit in Canada for an abortion, which is accurate, as there are no Canadian laws restricting abortion at all. However, there are supposed to be regulations within the healthcare industry.
“The law in Canada and the U.S. overall doesn’t have a ‘too far.’ OK, I can tell you that once things reach 35, 36 weeks, it might be impossible to find someone that would do it. OK, 24, up to 30 weeks, it’s very possible,” the abortionist states.
The doctor goes on to state that children born at 22 weeks may survive, but adds, “There are very few clinicians who would consider that life.” When the pregnant activist asks the doctor about whether she needs health reasons for herself or her baby to procure a late-term abortion, the doctor appears to suggest that this has not been necessary for “abortion care” since the 1960s.
Canadian healthcare professionals are estimated to have performed over 100,000 abortions in 2023, with over 40,000 occurring in Ontario alone.
Canada also has legalized medically assisted suicide, which saw doctors euthanize tens of thousands of people. It has become a leading cause of death in the country, with 4.7 percent of all deaths in 2023 being from medically assisted suicide.
Activists are attempting to expand euthanasia by allowing children and mentally ill people to be killed by doctors as well. Notably, recent reports claim that Canadian doctors are harvesting the organs of those being killed.
