Jess Phillips: A National Inquiry.. Content Warning.
The Conservatives have been calling this week for a national inquiry into grooming gangs. Kemi Badenoch has asked Keir Starmer to look at holding a national inquiry into grooming gangs again. For the sake of victims of such heinous crimes, the call is correct.

Starmer and Musk Are At It Again!. Content Warning.
As the end of the year approaches, Keir Starmer and Elon Musk are spatting again! What's their beef with each other this time? Musk said businesses do not want to invest in the UK. That is because under Keir Starmer's "current administration" (Musk's words) the climate is not right for investment. In a business meeting with investors in September Musk was not invited.

2025 Should Be Calm for Politics?
What a momentous year UK politics and world politics have been. We had the general election in July. Rishi 'Wishy Washy' Sunak and his Conservatives after 14 years were booted out of office. People wanted change and Sir Keir Starmer and the Labour Party won a huge election victory! Starmer's victory was likened to Tony Blair's victory in 1997. The Labour right or at least the centre ground of the Labour Party is back in control. Labour gained a 400-odd majority. The Tories were reduced to 121 seats, the Lib Dems gained 72, Reform UK 5, and the Greens 3.

The Fall of Assad and Christians.. Content Warning.
While Assad's backers have been fighting external enemies Syrian opposition forces have quickly taken control of Damascus. The opposition forces are mostly led by groups that had or still have links to groups like Al-Qaeda and Islamic State. Despite the Leader of Hayat Tahir al-Sham (HTS) saying they and he have changed. The leader of this group is dressing like Vlodymir Zelenskyy wearing green khaki and trimming his beard. Reflecting the fact that he and his group are not so extremist. In a mosque in Damascus, the HTS leader said he would represent all Syrians regardless of ethnicity or faith. The rebels of various factions have formed a new administration. Whether this coalition will last remains to be seen.

Badenoch Became Working Class?. Content Warning.
When Kemi Badenoch became the first black female leader of a political party, the Tories felt so cosy inside. They had a warm glow saying "Look how inclusive we are a female leader and a black one to boot"! However, don't be fooled, identity politics is not for Ms. Badenoch. She is a darling of the right and you would be foolish to think otherwise.

Punk Musk and Trump.. Content Warning.
The picture I have posted above looks like a Sid Vicious Elon Musk. Punk was and is all about shaking things up and a 'D-I-Y' mentality. Whether you admire Musk or loathe him he is a person who does all of the above. The billionaire has his own electric car company, Tesla. His Sattelite communication network and his Space-X company. Co-operating with NASA his mission is to send humans to Mars and establish the first colony. Though of course, many of the colonists will be rich. It will be a long time before the likes of you and I ever set foot on the Red Planet. Musk is like the proverbial character of David Bowie's "The Man Who Fell To Earth". An alien who came here to save his planet using Earth's resources and go home. Some jokingly and realistically question Musk's origins. Is he a real alien who fell to Earth? A Martian even, hence his obsession with "Occupying Mars" as his t-shirts proclaim. Alien or not, he likes to keep people guessing. He is South African but an American citizen now. Alien or Earthman, Musk for better or worse is a phenomenon of our times.
