What PM Boris should do about the LEADERSHIP - After COVID

Sky News: Reports " Partygate: John Stevenson submits letter of no confidence in Johnson - 28th Tory MP to publicly call for him to go.....A steady stream of Tory MPs have been submitting letters or voicing their displeasure with the prime minister after the Sue Gray report revealed raucous rule-breaking parties at Number 10 went on during COVID lockdowns.  "

Lets Get Real:

As stated this blog has not time for the PM since Afghanistan, but this stream of letters have to STOP, the PM should use the Sir John Major tactic, he was PM, he resigned the leadership of the Conservative Party and ran again, when he had similar problems with the backbenches, and he won that contest.  PM Boris should do the same, flush out the malcontents, force them to have a candidate, that is a to shut this down, let's see who has the support to stand, and let's recall its the members who NOW elect the leader not the MPs, one is convinced that the PM would win that round.  The PM should also do what he did before and start to throw a few MPs out of the Party, make them run as independents  in the 2024 General Election, that would silence a few, they would no longer be Conservatives and cannot vote to unseat the PM.  It is time for the PM to be ruthless. 

Food Bank for Dogs - Cost of Living Crisis

If you read only one story today, read this one:

BBC News: Reports " Cost of Living: Cardiff pet foodbank finds demand escalating "

Lets Get Real:

This is a moral outrage, dogs cannot ask for food, and they are our best friends, always happy to see you, all they ask, is that you feed them and take them for walks and play with them.  Since lockdown many people have BOUGHT dogs, to think poor people do not feed themselves and have to go to food banks for dogs is a disaster for the Government.   The Johnson Government has spent 15 billion in handouts for various sectors of society, thus must NOW help owners who have pets, from dogs to cats.  The Government should add a few billion to the windfall tax on the oil companies, this is the national interest, the UK is seen as a pet lover, and this mar our image abroad.  The public should, telephone, Text, and Email and nicely ask that our MPs have a discussion on this, its urgent, not more urgent that if a Party happened at No 10 Downing Street?

Biden BACKTRACKS on long range missiles for Ukraine - Ukraine - Russian War - New Cold War 2

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 2.32pm post the following, " Biden says US will not send Ukraine weapons systems that can reach into Russia....The US president, Joe Biden, has said the United States will not send Ukraine rocket systems that can reach into Russia, Reuters reports. The comments followed reports that the Biden administration was preparing to send advanced long-range rocket systems to Kyiv.  "

Lets Get Real:

It seems that Biden's abilities NOT understand foreign policy has been shown again by the President, just because the Kremlin warned about the sending of the long range missiles, and Biden has gone WOBBLY, no wonder his handling of the Crisis is in the toilet in the polls.   How in the earth is the Ukraine meant to stop the Russians from carving up the South East Ukraine and taking it in to Russia.  Thus far Biden had been good, but his YELLOW STREAK is showing, and who will suffer, it will be the people of Afghanistan, sorry Ukraine, Afghanistan was his first mess.  The Russians KNOW NOW that if they say any action by Biden could lead to WW3 that the Biden Oval will back down.  The poor people of the Ukraine will suffer for the failures of the Biden Oval.  If this was Reagan, it would be another story, he would have armed the Kyiv Government to the teeth, the Gipper knew how to deal with the Russians. 

Putin is not ill - Russian Foreign Minister - Ukraine - Russian War - New Cold War 2

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 11.38am post the following, " Putin showing no sign of ill health, Russia's foreign minister says....Earlier this month, New Lines magazine reported it had obtained an audio recording of an oligarch close to the Kremlin who described the Russian president as "very ill with blood cancer", although the type of blood cancer was not specified.  "

Lets Get Real:

Those in the Kremlin Leadership must keep to the Party line that Putin is not ill, but these stories must have some foundation, they keep appearing, it was reported that Putin bathed in Animal Blood as it fights cancer, also his monologues get more weird by the day, he has put in to prison anyone who has called the Russian invasion of the Ukraine a WAR.  If Putin is at deaths door, the West has to be very careful, he has nothing to lose, thus if the War of attrition in the Ukraine goes on, he might decide to use WMD in attempt to finish WAR, Ukraine sources has reported that thirty thousand Russian Soldiers have been killed in the Ukraine, one is shocked that more Russian mothers have not come out on the street to protest.  The Kremlin PR has been very effective in controlling the masses.  IF Putin is ill that could be the reason for the change from the original strategy to just taking the South East Ukraine, and the slow Russian gains, Putin has NOTHING TO LOSE. 

Eastern Cities FALL to Russia - Ukraine - Russian War - New Cold War 2

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 1.23pm post the following, " Severodonetsk firmly in Russia's sights....If Russian forces take the city, they will almost have completed their conquest of the Luhansk Region – a major strategic aim. Maybe that’s why the Ukrainians are trying to hold their ground, despite fierce artillery barrages.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Biden Oval has to keep its eyes open over the East Ukraine, if POTUS is not careful the Russians could carve up Ukraine, taking the South East of Ukraine and only leaving Odesa for the Kyiv Government.  The Russians are holding the grain of Ukraine and will only allow it out if the West lifts its sanctions against Russia.  They are keeping grain from Africa and other Countries, that could lead to a GLOBA food crisis.  The Biden Oval should send it long range rockets to the Kyiv Government and allow special forces to attack the Russians behind the lines.  Putin's Kremlin has narrowed its objectives, it wants the whole of the Donbas in East Ukraine, and its has the man power to keep the fighting going for years.  It has been reported that PUTIN has only three years to live, thus this is his legacy, he wants the East Ukraine part of Russia before he is pushing up the daises.  The West and Kyiv Government cannot allow that to happen. 

US to send Long Range Rockets to the Ukraine - Ukraine - Russian War - New Cold War 2

The Hill: Reports " US to transfer long-range rocket systems to Ukraine amid Donbas struggle "

Lets Get Real:

The Russians are gaining in the East Ukraine, they are taking over towns, the Russians want to throw out those native to Ukraine, or force them to become refugees or kill them.  They want to have FAKE referendums that state that these areas want to become part of the Great Russia.  Thus what started in the Crimea in 2014 was tried in the North of the Country and failed, is now being carried on in the Donbas in East Ukraine.  The Biden Administration that failed in Afghanistan cannot afford to fail in the Ukraine, two national security defeats would be to much before the 2022 Mid Terms.  Thus Biden must do everything that he would normally not do, he has been wrong over 40 years when it comes to National Security, he has to be the tough guy when it comes to Putin, otherwise the Democrats will lose the House and Senate in November and Biden might find that he is a ONE TERM PRESIDENT in 2024. 

Food Crisis COMING and the Ukraine - Russia War - New Cold War 2

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 3.03pm post the following,  " How Putin's invasion is causing a worldwide food crisis - and what can be done...The head of the United Nations has said there is a looming global food crisis because of the impact of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.  "

Lets Get Real:

The West cannot agree to Russian demands to lifts sanctions, this would give Putin a victory and he would press for more, the West must take the grain held by the Ukraine either through a land route or through the Ports, if this means going up against the Russia Black Fleet so be it, this battle has been coming since RUSSIA started its illegal WAR IN THE UKRAINE.  Putin has to learn that he cannot win, and also the West must make sure that Countries in Africa and others get the food they need.  The Kremlin is keeping the grain has hostage, it shows what kind of regime you are dealing with, one that commits WAR CRIMES in the Ukraine and is willing to starve people to death.   Russia must bow its head in SHAME. 

Russia THREATS to Germany and France - Ukraine - Russian War - New Cold War 2

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 2.pm post the following, " Putin warns France and Germany over arming Ukraine....Putin told the two leaders that supplying arms to Ukraine was "dangerous", warning "of the risks of further destabilisation of the situation and aggravation of the humanitarian crisis", the Kremlin said.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Russians are winning ground in the East of Ukraine, and are now pushing to see who is WEAK on the Western front, thus the demand that the West lifts sanctions on Russia if it wants grain from the Ukraine.  The West has to increase the sanctions on Russia, also US has to send heavy weapons to the Kyiv Government, otherwise POTUS could lose Ukraine after Afghanistan, the Biden Administration has spent billion on defending Ukraine, it cannot afford to lose, and it can't allow itself to be frightened of what Putin might do if the US sends more heavy weapons to Ukraine.  As the UK PM said, Putin must lose and be seen to lose.  Anything else is a win for Putin and a threat to the West.  The West has to STAND FIRM.

Russia on the MOVE in East Ukraine - Ukraine - Russian War - New Cold War 2

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 2.47pm post the following, " Russia has air and artillery advantage in east - Ukrainian military official.....Russia has been operating in a "classical" way, he says, first attacking from the air, then with artillery and then sending in ground forces.  "

Lets Get Real:

This is a WAR that Putin cannot afford to lose and the West knows that if they allow Russia to win in the Ukraine then other Countries, NATO members could come under THREAT from the Kremlin, the Russians have millions of men, even if they are poor conscripts thrown in to hell, while the West has the modern technology, the West has to increase its military support for Ukraine, more weapons, tanks, and even fighter jets if they can agree how to it.  The WAR in the Ukraine, will be a WAR of long attrition, very much like WW1 and the trenches, the Russians will in a few days have technical default on their loans, the Russian economy rouble has returned to pre invasions levels, the Kremlin is making the issue the national security of Russia, in reality its Putin's obsession and about the return to the old USSR, or even Imperial Russia. 

Has the Chancellor GONE LEFT on the UK Budget ? - Boris Johnson Era

Guido Fawkes: Reports " As expected, Rishi has fired up the money printer once again to combat inflation. The Treasury claims it’ll cost £15 billion, with £5 billion a year supposedly coming from the newly-announced windfall tax “energy profits levy“   "

Lets Get Real:

Guido is not impressed, a Conservative Chancellor is acting like a LABOUR CHANELLOR, spending money that the Country does not have, how many times can you go to the bank of WINDFALL TAX, companies in these areas will take their business offshore, a good Conservative Chancellor would increase taxes on the rich for a time, cut Government spending, what about saving for a very rainy day.  After the Sue Gray report the PM and the Chancellor want to divert attention, this spending money speech from the chancellor will divert, but what about the next time, and there will be a next time, do we attack business just to keep the press mob happy.  Sad Day if your a REAL CONSERVATRIVE.   It seems a cost of the PM drinking is 15 billion and the Chancellor being rich will COST future generations.  This will not be a popular view, does not mean its wrong. 

Russia trying to blackmail the West over GRAIN - Ukraine - Russian War - New Cold War 2

This blog is not covering the Sue Gray report and its reaction, its all over BBC News, Sky News etc:

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 3.58pm post the following, " Russia trying to blackmail international community - Ukraine.....Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has said Russia is trying to "blackmail" the international community by raising the possibility of unblocking Black Sea ports in return for a relaxation of sanctions.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Russians are showing why they are the No 1 rogue nation in the WORLD, they have committed WAR CRIMES in the Ukraine, from killing men, women to children, to the bombing of school and hospitals and NOW as stated yesterday post they are trying to blackmail the West in to lifting sanctions as to allow grain to leave the Ukraine.  The Russians have already STOLEN grain from the Ukraine, they have NO SHAME or HONOUR, let's stop letting the Russian people off the hook for Putin, this blog has not seen mass protests on the street, shouting F*ck the War at a rock concert does not COUNT, if the Russian people want to separate themselves from their EVIL REGIME, hundreds of thousands should be on the street.  It seem the Russian people have sold their souls as to allow Russia to be a lone bear striking FEAR in to its own people and neighbours.  

Afghanistan WITHDRAWAL a DISASTER - House of Commons - Boris Johnson Era

This is why this blog has lost confidence in Boris Johnson as PM -

BBC News: Reports  " The UK's withdrawal from Afghanistan last year was a "disaster" and a "betrayal" that will damage the nation's interests for years, an inquiry by MPs has found.  "

Lets Get Real:

This blog has no time for Party gates, its a attempt by the enemies of the PM to get him out of OFFICE because of BREXIT, some can never accept that FACT that they were on the losing side.  This goes to Remain MPs still in the House of Commons, the left wing press, BBC News, Sky News, Channel 4 News, Guardian, even the Times and Conservative MPs who are former Ministers and are angry for being sacked, and MPs who want the top job themselves.  The STORY of Afghanistan as stated above is the real reason this blog no longer supports PM, he should have shamed the US to stay, in other words, he should have kept troops in Afghanistan and fought off the Taliban.  The Taliban have shown they hate women, no schools for women, and TV presents must hide their faces!  Also those that supported the West in Afghanistan have been killed and the WEST did nothing, one hopes the lesson of Afghanistan for the US and UK is that YOU have to fight EVIL, at present that is in the Ukraine, just the poor people of Afghanistan have had to pay for that lesson. 

Russians STEALING Ukrainian FOOD - Ukraine - Russian War - New Cold War 2

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 2.21pm post the following, " Satellite images show Russian ships 'stealing Ukrainian grain'....amid fears of an impending global food crisis as Russian forces continue to block Ukraine's ports and stop the country from exporting grain.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Russians are past a point of no return when it comes to HONOUR when it comes to Ukraine, their soldiers have killed and raped their way in the North of Ukraine, they have bombed civic structures, such as schools and hospitals, NOW they are stealing the grain of the Ukraine that goes to feed Africa, one can see the tactic, make the World fret less about the Ukraine and more about people, men, women, and children starving in Africa.  This shows how BASE Russia has become, why it has become the No 1 rogue nation.  What does it take to get the Russian people out on the street, they managed twice in 1917 during World War 1 and in 1991 to bring down the old Soviet Union, the people of Russia have to show they understand that the WAR in the Ukraine is WRONG, is there any humanity left in RUSSIA? 

Russian ATTACK in the Donbas like World War 2 - Ukraine - Russian War - New Cold War 2

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 11.33am post the following, " Russian attack in Donbas ‘largest one on European soil since WWII’, says Ukraine....Ukraine’s foreign minister, Dmytro Kuleba, said the Russian offensive in the Donbas is “the largest one on European soil since WWII”.  "

Lets Get Real:

This is the chance for the WEST to show to Putin's Russia that it cannot win in the Donbas or any other place in the Ukraine.  The Russians have the manpower, their poor conscripts are been thrown in to a WAR FROM HELL.  One Russian Soldier of late has been convicted of WAR CRIMES and sentenced to life in prison.  The Kremlin is giving illegal orders, that the Russian Soldier has to follow or get shot, it has been reported that a Russian Officer shot wounded Russian Soldiers who could not get up.  The Russian Army is the new German Army of 1941 that invaded Russia, WAR CRIMES are a daily order.  As stated many times in this blog, Putin's Russia has to LOSE and be SEEN TO LOSE, otherwise Europe will have further trouble down the line with Russia.  After the failure in Afghanistan, POTUS cannot afford another loss, also the Oval Office has to send a message to China over Taiwan and Iran over its nuclear ambitions. 

US to protect Taiwan from China THREATS - New Cold War 2 Russia/China

BBC News: Reports " US President Joe Biden has warned China is "flirting with danger" over Taiwan, and vowed to intervene militarily to protect the island if it is attacked.  "

Lets Get Real:

Thus another Biden foot in mouth policy change, first it was Russia, now China, the State Department will have to cope with more of these as Biden gets older, that is why its not a good idea for him to run for a 2nd term.  The US policy towards China and Taiwan in ambiguity, thus not to tie the hands of the OVAL OFFICE or his successor to the job.   After Ukraine POTUS must have decided that ambiguity gets you nowhere, thus its better to be FIRM with the opponents of the US, in this case China and its aims to take Taiwan back as a province of China.  Thus Oval Office should tell the State Department that they follow the orders of the Oval not the other way around.  It is good Biden is FIRM over the US reaction, might prevent a WAR IN ASIA, between the US and China over Taiwan. 

US Military Support for Ukraine from the US - Ukraine - Russian War - New Cold War 2

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 12.13pm post the following, " Biden signs aid bill after it is flown from the US to South Korea on commercial jet...We already know that $20bn is earmarked for military support...."

Lets Get Real:

The US can do this in till the end of time, they will not allow Russia to WIN in the Ukraine, and the Russian Government will find out like the OLD USSR Government that they cannot out spend the US and the West.  The US and the West in general is supporting KYIV Government with military and domestic support, also Sweden and Finland have applied to join NATO, this is not what Putin wanted, and at some point he will have to call for REAL PEACE TALKS, and he will have to give up the land he has taken in the Donbas, one doubts that Russia will ever give back the CRIMEA, they see the Crimea as Russian.  The heavy sanction on Russia and the military support to the Ukraine will force Russia to give a little, well in fact a lot.  The Russians will be lucky to keep what they had before the invasion, there must be a price for Russia to pay for the invasion, even if you never get Putin in to a COURT. 

Russia BLOCKS GAS to Finland - Ukraine - Russian War - New Cold War 2

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 11.34am post the following, " Russia halts gas supplies to Finland...Russia has confirmed this morning that it's stopped supplying gas to Finland - the latest escalation of an energy payments row with the West.  "

Lets Get Real:

Finland has shown that it is willing to take political and domestic hit as a EU member and friend of Ukraine.  The question has to be asked, WHY? is Germany not following this trend.  The German economy would suffer if they halted taking gas from Russia, but they money they are sending to Russia is BLOOD MONEY, they are paying for the Russians to carry on their illegal WAR in the UKRAINE.  The EU has to be united on this policy, the EU should back up those Countries that stop paying for Russian GAS, that would HURT RUSSIA and STOP them doing WAR CRIMES in the Ukraine.  The War in the Ukraine, is a WAR of attrition, the Russians have endless supply of men, while the West can keep the Ukraine up to date when it comes to WEAPONS, the West has to ware down Russia, make the COST to much for the Russian people, and Russia mothers, do they want to see their sons come back in black body bags.  Putin must LOSE in the Ukraine and be seen to LOSE.

The CLOSE of PARTYGATE - Police - Boris Johnson Era

BBC News: Reports " Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been told he faces no further action after police closed their Partygate investigation, No 10 says.  "

Lets Get Real:

Thus the PM will not face any more fines for PARTYGATE, that is good news for the PM, other fines had been expected, BBC News and Sky News are acting as if they cannot understand why the PM was not fined, the usual opposition suspects are still demanding the resignation of the PM, they also want the full Gray report published, they are desperate for anything that they can throw at the PM.  One would think that the Privileges Committee investigation by the House of Commons could be another flash point, the Committee nominally has a Conservative majority of ONE.  They are looking in to the issue if the PM lied to the House of Commons, we shall see what they discover.  This blog has had no time for the PM since Afghanistan, but he has had a good WAR in Ukraine, and the cost of living crisis will frighten off those that want the leadership, they must hope that the PM solves the crisis and then falls.  As stated in this blog, the Met and Durham investigations are a WAST OF TIME, there should be a Royal Pardon for those charged, the Country must look forward and not back.  

Northern Ireland Protocol UPDATE - After Brexit

Sky News: Reports " Northern Ireland Protocol: Ministers to introduce law change amid 'very grave' situation...Britain says it does not want to scrap the protocol and would prefer to come to a negotiated settlement - but the EU said the plan for legislation was not acceptable and that Brussels would respond to all measures at its disposal.  "

Lets Get Real:

The usual rubbish from the EU, they are more interested in keeping to the fine print than finding REAL solutions to the problem, the Irish support Brussels great shock.  The UK has to carry on, have talks with the EU but make it CLEAR that they lawyers are saying that the changes are alright due to the problems that are being created in the province by the Northern Ireland Protocol, if the EU wants a TRADE WAR, so be it, the EU needs to be taught, correction Brussels needs to be taught a lesson, they a bit players on the WORLD STAGE, the crisis in the Ukraine has shown that, the West wants a STRONG NATO, not a supper silly Brussels who think they are STATE.  Lady Thatcher is can be postulated would have approved of the action by the UK Government, she would have thrown her handbag to good effect. 

Is the DUP coming around to attending the Northern Ireland Assembly ? - After Brexit

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 1.25pm post the following, " Truss statement is a good start, says DUP leader....DUP leader Jeffrey Donaldson says the party had always been against the protocol, and recognised the political and economic instability it could cause, as well as the threat it could pose to the union.  "

Lets Get Real:

The UK Government is creating a back up of insurance should the EU play silly buggers and make demands that are a threat to the Good Friday Agreement, one hopes that Brussels understands that this agreement is the most important agreement not the Northern Ireland Protocol.  The changes by the Government would create a green channel that would allow UK products to transfer from the UK MAINLAND to Belfast but also create a EU Channel for products that are going from the UK to the Republic and meet EU standards.  One hopes that the DUP will at least allow the election of a Speaker for the Northern Ireland Assembly, to start getting the wheels rolling for the return of the Executive.  In this the UK Government should place pressure on the DUP, the Government is doing what they want, so they should give a little.  Its politics 101. 

The Northern Ireland Protocol and Sinn Fein - After Brexit

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 3.08pm post the following, " Sinn Féin accuses Johnson of wanting to 'placate the DUP' after 'tough' meeting at Hillsborough...Sinn Féin has accused Boris Johnson of placating the DUP and not prioritising the resumption of the power-sharing executive. Mary Lou McDonald, the party’s president, made these points when she spoke to reporters after her meeting with the PM.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Nationalists have not gotten the message, if they want the chance to appoint a FIRST Minister for the first time in over Century they will have to give a bit, that is called politics.  The First Minister can only be appointed if there is a Unionist Deputy Minister, thus the Nationalists have to give the DUP something they can say they got before coming part of the Assembly and Executive.  Sinn Fein will have to decide, does it want power or just be told by the Irish Government what they can do, and from Dublin to Brussels.   As for what the UK Government can do, not much, it has already thrown the DUP under the bus already with the Northern Ireland Protocol, to keep them on side and agree to form a Government, the UK has to give the DUP concessions, or they will wait for six months and have another election, then they might be the biggest Party, politics is about chance and taking it, that is a very old political lesson. 

Sweden - Finland Update - Russian - Ukraine War - New Cold War 2

Daily Mail: Reports " Sweden announces it WILL follow Helsinki and apply to join NATO as furious Putin warns of a 'response' and 'moves nuclear-capable missiles to Finland’s border' "

Lets Get Real:

Thus less harsh rhetoric as reported on Sky News more action from Russia, the Russians are sending a message, they can talk tough and follow through, even with the BAD WAR in the UKRAINE.  The Russians are concerned that NATO will place NATO troops or nuclear weapons in Sweden and Finland, that might be the most dangerous point. Putin by his illegal WAR in the Ukraine has united NATO, added new members to NATO, increased Western spending on defence up to 2%, also shown why NATO is needed in Europe.  This shows the lack of support for NATO by Corbyn and Trump was miss placed.   Also the Ukraine has been supplied with enough weapons to push the Russians back to their border.  One has to worry when does Putin start to use WMD, how back against the WALL can be pushed. 

Has Putin LOST HIS BOTTLE over Sweden and Finland in NATO - Ukraine - Russian War - New Cold War 2

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports the following on President Putin's remarks on Sweden and Finland wanting to join NATO in its 2.07pm post, " While he warned of a "reaction", his remarks were devoid of the kind of bellicose language one might expect given the Russian president's animosity towards the Western military alliance and the threat he has suggested it poses to Russia.  "

Lets Get Real:

It seems the RUSSIAN BEAR has woken up and worked out that with the problems with the Ukraine he might as well accept that Sweden and Finland are about to join NATO.  The mess in the Ukraine is down to Putin, he thought it would be a walk over, according to reports the head of the Russian Intelligence is out of favour, it seems the FSB told Putin what he wanted to HEAR, it seems that Russians have learned nothing from the IRAQ WAR of Bush 43 and Tony Blair.  Both Sweden and Finland have been given security guarantees by the UK and others if Russian tries something on before these two countries become member of NATO they are covered AGAINST ANY ATTACK BY Russia.  Putin has achieved what he did not want, a UNITED NATO, an increase in Western Defence spending, more Countries wanting to join NATO, and the West supporting Ukraine with what it need to push the Russians all the way back to their border in the North.  Putin legacy will be one of the loss of Russian democracy and making Russia the WORLD'S NUMBER 1 ENEMY. 

The UK PM in Northern Ireland - After Brexit

BBC News: Reports the following, " Northern Ireland: PM meets Stormont parties to avert crisis "

Lets Get Real:

The PM has a difficult job today, the DUP will not go back in to Government in the Province, without the Northern Ireland Protocol being changed or ripped up, the Nationalists want to keep the Protocol as they see this as a chance to get a UNITED IRELAND.  The PM has sent out mixed messages on this issue, he has gone from ripping up the protocol to changing the BAD PARTS, even the DUP has said it can live with the protocol if there are changes, the EU, the Irish Government and the Nationalists want to keep things as they are.  It is reported that the UK Foreign Secretary will give a speech to the House of Commons tomorrow on the changes the Government wants, this is not Article 16, were the agreement allowed the UK to suspend  the protocol if they protocol was causing problems in the province, it is about finding the RIGTH WORDS, that everyone can live with, if Nationalists want to have the post of First Minister they will have to give a little, or lose the prize. 

West in Total Hybrid War against Russia - Russian Foreign Minister, Ukraine - Russian War - New Cold War 2

Sky News: Reports " West has declared 'total hybrid war' on Russia, claims Lavov - as Putin warns Finland against joining NATO  "

Lets Get Real:

The blogger watched the remarks by the Russian Foreign Minister, half way through this blog hard to change the channel, the Foreign Minister is on another planet, he is not even in our GALAXY, the remarks were well of base, it was the ALL FAULT OF THE US, and it was the US making the demands and using the Ukraine as a base.  One hopes when the mics are off that the Foreign Minister knows that he is talking crazy talk and is pure BS.   One does wonder do the Russian people really believe this BS from the Kremlin, they must know they are being lied too, how many black body bags does it take, and bodies sent from the Ukraine in trains.  It has been reported that Russian Intelligence think that Putin has not long for this earth and that he has a terminal illness, it would explain a lot about his lack of judgement when it comes to the Ukraine, let's hope he does not want to take the World with him when dies through starting World War 3. 

Putin on Finland joining NATO - Russian - Ukraine War - New Cold War

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 1.15pm post the following, " Putin warns Finland joining Nato would be a mistake....Russian media are reporting Putin's side of the conversation.....He told Sauli Niinistö there were currently no threats to Finland's security, and that Finland abandoning its long-standing neutral status would be a mistake.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Russians are unhappy, not great news, this is the last thing that the Kremlin wanted, the point of invading the Ukraine was to STOP them become part of NATO.  The Russian Invasion and WAR CRIMES means that Finland and Sweden have decided that their security is better in NATO than out, they have seen what Russian has done to the Ukraine and they want protection, the Turks have cast doubt on the applications, the Biden Oval has to INFORM them that they will support the move, or else, they are out of NATO.  One can presume that Putin has had words with Turkey and Hungary, both will have to be put in their place by the US and the rest of NATO.  The USSR was a great evil power, while modern Russia is not even a third rate power, its ARMY has shown that it is inept and WAR CRIMINALS.  Following orders will not be accepted by Courts, that will happen when the Putin Regime is no longer in power. 

The Northern Ireland Protocol on its DEATH BED - After Brexit

Our favourite subject is back - BREXIT 

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 12.54pm post the following, " Johnson restates threat to abandon Northern Ireland protocol, saying Good Friday agreement more important.....Johnson says the Northern Ireland protocol threatens the Good Friday agreement. It needs to be sorted out....The Good Friday agreement is the more important of the two agreements, because it is older, he suggests.   "

Lets Get Real:

The Assembly elections in Northern Ireland has given the Nationalists more seats in the Assembly than the Unionist side, thus they get to nominate the FIRST MINISTER, but this can only happen if the Unionists come on board and nominate a Deputy Minister, neither officer holders can do anything without the approval of the other, and the Unionists have made it clear, no ASSEMBLY without the removal of the Northern Ireland Protocol, thus No 10 has no choice but to invoke Article 16 of the Withdrawal Agreement to suspend the protocol, the EU will hit the roof, its their fault, they have been slow and stubborn, and if the EU as the UK wants the Assembly to work they either move or the UK does, it is that simple, it is what it is.  The UK PM does not need the strife of no Assembly in the Northern Ireland, thus he must invoke Article 16 and have a bloody row with the EU, better than blood on the street in Belfast and other areas in the Province. 

Finland and Sweden a BIG BONUS for NATO - Ukraine - Russian War - New Cold War

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 1.35pm post the following, " Finland and Sweden would bolster NATO's military capabilities significantly......If they are to join NATO, Finland would have one of the largest armies in the military alliance.  "

Lets Get Real:

One can see why the Kremlin is WORRIED, the last thing they need is a WAR with Finland, the Ukrainian Army is giving the Russian Army a bloody nose, and it is reported that thousands of Russian Soldiers have been killed in the Ukraine, more than were killed in the 1979 - 1989 War in Afghanistan, the failure in Afghanistan is seen as one of the factors in the fall of the USSR.  Putin's Kremlin must know his regime is on the LINE, when the Russian people finally smell the coffee and see the disaster the WAR WITH THE UKRAIEN has been will they turn on the Regime, as the people did with the TSAR in 1917 and with the Coup plotters in 1991, this was the final nail in the coffin of the USSR.  Putin has gone through his nine lives, how much more failure can the Russian cope with, and when will they see through the BS. 

UK will defend Finland and Sweden if ATTACKED - Russian - Ukraine War - New Cold War 2

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports the following in its 12.37pm post, " Johnson offers support if Sweden or Finland come under attack....The prime minister has said he will support Sweden and Finland if they come under attack - amid debate within both nations about whether to join the Nato alliance.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Kremlin has made threatening noises should Finland and Sweden join NATO.  This move by the UK PM is a clear message to Putin to, BACK OFF, if the democracies decide to join NATO then they will protected by Article 5, an attack on one is an attack all, the point of applying and becoming a member could be a time for the Russians to attack Finland, the Country shares a LONG BORDER with Russia.  The last time Russia attacked Finland it was given a bloody nose, this shows that small Countries take on a larger Country.  In the modern era this is what the Ukraine is doing against Russia.  One hopes the Russian Bear has not to be taught another bloody lesson by Finland and the UK. 

No News from President Putin's speech - No Climax on May 9th - Russian - Ukraine War - New Cold War 2

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 12.43pm post the following, " Vladimir Putin’s Victory Day speech today shows the Russian president is “completely out of ideas” about the war in Ukraine, according to one analyst....Prior to the speech, foreign officials had said Putin could use it to launch a full mobilisation of Russian troops or formally declare war in Ukraine, but there were no large policy announcements.  "

Lets Get Real:

The speech was the biggest anti climax of this CENTURY, the West and commentators were thinking Putin would go big, declare war on the Ukraine, declare war on NATO, something to keep the Russian people on board, and loyal, there was NOTHING, not even a cameo appearance by the destroyed City of Mariupol, the Russians having been cleaning up their crimes, it seems that the Kremlin was not happy how it would look.  Of course Putin has written the WEST out of WW2, also the FACT that Stalin made a non aggression pact with Hitler from August 1939 to 1941.   The Putin Special Military Operation is a stain on the Russian Army, not total, lets recall the RED ARMY raped thousands of German women at the end of WORLD WAR 2, a WAR CRIME in itself.   So Putin went quiet today, the same usual BS from Putin, that it was the fault of the Nazi's in the Ukraine and it was the WEST that was keeping the Kyiv Government going, so what will Putin do next, we still don't know, that might have been the point, one KGB always KGB. 

Is Sir Beergate about to offer his resignation if find by Durham Police - After COVID - 19

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 1.12pm post the following, " Is Keir Starmer planning to make a beergate resignation pledge?......The question of whether it would be a good strategy for Sir Keir Starmer to pledge to resign if he's issued with a COVID fine has been knocking around in Labour circles for the last few days.  "

Lets Get Real:

Thus if Sir Beergate does this, he will be in the hands of the Durham Police, the Officers will be under pressure to come up a justified reaction, not one pressed by either the Labour Party or the Conservative Party, the press, right and left will also be all over them.  As " The danger is if Durham Police stops short of handing out a fine but still...concludes that some sort of minor breach may have occurred.  "  The pressure would come from the Conservatives for the Labour Leader to resign, or reported to the Privileges Committee of the House of Commons, thus the Committee would have the fates of the PM and the Labour Leader in their hands.  Or the Labour Leader could argue that since he was not fined, he is in the clear, its the results that matters, and the Labour Leader would have been found not guilty of breaking COVID - 19 rules.   One cannot understand how the former Director of Prosecutions could have gotten in this kind of mess, its was his former job to to know the small print. 

Sir Beer Starmer in the Beer Protection Programme, No Answers to Beergate - After COVID - 19

BBC News: Reports " Labour denies Keir Starmer dodging lockdown event questions "

Lets Get Real:

This is the problem with LIBERAL or LEFT wing politicians, they think by being on the left they have some higher morale ground, and any questions about their conduct, is not fair, that is why it has taken the Guardian, BBC News, Sky News, Channel 4 some time to get on to the story, the presenters were almost grinding their teeth as they reported the Labour Party answer to the allegations at first, it was only due to the hard work of the DAILY MAIL that the issue of Sir Beer drinking in Durham become an issue, in the early stages the Labour Party even denied the the Labour Deputy Leader had not been at the beer Festival for Party members in the by - election, the dinner was on the timetable, so was the takeaway that cost over two hundred pounds, as stated yesterday the Durham Police should find Starmer not guilty and 10 Downing Street should appeal the fine of 50 pound given to the PM, for the sake of the Country, the story should be allowed to die, we all need a rest after a few beers. 

Cabinet reshuffle on the Cards - After local Elections

Sky News: Reports  " Boris Johnson expected to reshuffle cabinet before summer, say PM's allies...The Conservative Party sustained substantial losses in the local elections on Thursday, including some key London councils. Partygate and the cost of living were the main issues on the doorstep, with Boris Johnson getting much of the blame for the results.  "

Lets Get Real:

The heavy mob have not come around yet to thrown the PM out of office, the PM is very lucky, as Guido Fawkes notes the  Opposition Leader is facing questions about his drinking in Durham during lockdown the elite left wing press have gone quiet on the issue, what a great shock.  One should always recall that the elite left wing media is very REMAIN when it comes to BREXIT, the BBC had a nervous breakdown, many think it has not recovered and thus hate the Conservatives MORE than usual and have placed a political target on Boris, that mega hype about 10 Downing Parties will go quiet for a while, the press will want to see what the police say about Sir Keir, if they fine him, expect the press to come to his defence, the press never changes its spots.  The Daily Mail reports that Sir Keir has stated he will have to resign if fined, this blog will believe that when it happens.
