1776 - 2026 America Celebrate their Independence

BBC News: Reports in its 4.13pm post the following, " Pop stars to perform across US to celebrate 250 years of independence "

Let's Get Real:

Thus US celebrates its 250th birthday.  The US is great, yes it has had its flaws, slavery etc, it took deaths and a civil war to STOP, even then it took in till the 1960s for African Americans to get their full rights, in the 21st Century it elected its 1st black President.  On the plus side we had US leadership during WW1 and 2.  The great President Ronald Reagan ended the Cold War, US is not perfect but still a Shining City on a Hill.

PM has full confidence in Wes Streeting- Update

Noted: The State Opening of Parliament.  The King has been dragged in to the Labour psycho drama, HM had a successful State Visit to the US, his health does not need Labour Games.  God Save the King.

BBC News: Reports in its 1.50pm post the following, " Starmer has 'full confidence' in Streeting, No 10 says - amid talk of leadership challenge "

Let's Get Real:

Is the PM trying to warn Streeting off and others, or is trying to get inside Streeting head to warn him off.  Thus we wait to see if Angela Rayner enters the race supported by Andy Burnham, could be her Chancellor, seat in the Lords.  Thus we wait the announcement from the Health Secretary that he is resign his post to run.  

Trade Deal between UK and US - Trump47

 Sky News: Reports in its 3pm post thar Sir Keir Starmer will give a news conference on the new trade deal between the US and UK at 4pm.

The first trade deal with the US since Trump47 introduced major Tariffs for the World.  Also 2nd one since Brexit, the first was with India.  At least Sir Keir Starmer is getting things done, he might be a firm remainer, but even he has given up that ghost.  On the whole good news for the UK and Brexit.

King GOES to CHURCH after ill health announced - King Charles III

Sky News: Reports " Smiling King Charles attends church for first time since cancer diagnosis...The 75-year-old monarch has been recovering at his Norfolk estate in the aftermath of the public announcement about his illness.  "

Lets Get Real:

It was nice to see the King out, and smiling, cancer can take it out of you, Sky reported that a 100 people turned up at the family Church to wish the King well, but he could not go up to them, as his immune system is down after the cancer.  The King's subjects will have to wait to see him again, he needs time to recover, thus the public duties will be shared by the rest of the Royal Family,  the Duke of Sussex has gone back home to the US, he had half hour with his father, the Prince of Wales did not see him, that fraught relationship will take some time to HEAL. GOD SAVE THE KING.
