Streeting ‘to launch challenge tomorrow’ after delay to spare king’s embarrassment
13 May 2026 @ 2:52 pm
According to Labour insiders, health secretary Wes Streeting will resign and launch his bid to topple Keir Starmer tomorrow, following a terse 16-minute meeting with Starmer at No 10 today. It would appear those who thought the monarch was visibly just going through the motions of his ‘king’s speech’ today were right. As Skwawkbox predicted […]

13 May 2026 @ 2:48 pm
TV cameras posted on Downing Street yesterday happened to catch an interesting development and none of them even noticed. They were there in hopes of news of Keir Starmer’s imminent resignation. Instead, amid the ‘bubble’ soundbites, they caught defunct former Labour and Tinge party MP Chuka Umunna entering No 10. Number 10 claimed that Umunna […]

13 May 2026 @ 2:36 pm
On Thursday 14 May, Reform UK is fighting a by-election in South Gloucestershire. Or it was, anyway. Reform has now withdrawn support for candidate Paul Heyward, with no time left for the party to field an alternative. Heyward was binned after it emerged he had suggested someone shoot Kier Starmer on his since-deleted X account. Given […]

Keir Starmer recorded the lowest satisfaction level of any prime minister in British history. Amazingly, things have only gotten worse since then – particularly following the disastrous local elections which took place on 7 May. As a result of this chaos, Starmer has found himself fighting to remain as PM. As such, it’s surprising to […]

13 May 2026 @ 2:07 pm
Calamitous US ‘secretary of war’ Pete Hegseth has launched a Pentagon investigation into a US senator for supposedly disclosing classified information. However, the information had already been made public by Hegseth himself under oath. Hegseth said he ordered the investigation into Senator Mark Kelly after Kelly discussed massive US munitions expenditure against Iran during a TV […]

13 May 2026 @ 1:52 pm
The CIA used a car bomb to kill a mid-level cartel leader in Mexico’s capital, insiders claim. The US foreign intelligence agency is pursuing clandestine operations as part of president Donald Trump’s war on so-called ‘narco-terrorists’.

13 May 2026 @ 1:38 pm
Tilly Corteen-Coleman has spent the past two years tearing up the script for what an 18-year-old cricket newcomer is supposed to look like. A £105,000 Hundres contract in March, a T20 World Cup call-up in April, and now a match winning ODI debut in May — her rise has been rapid, fearless and impossible to […]
By Faz AliBlah, war, ‘antisemitism’, with jewels – but Chuck knows Starmer won’t last long
13 May 2026 @ 1:25 pm
The ‘king’s speech’ 2026 was war, more war, jewels and boredom. Much like the previous version. Ol’ Chuck couldn’t manage to look interested as he was forced to read out the plans of a man who clearly won’t be around to implement them. The content of the speech itself was what you’d expect from a […]
