King of The North: Andy Burnham.
What Sadiq Khan is to the south as the Mayor of London, so Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham is to the north. Can one compare Burnham with Khan? Well, both are former Labour MPs, and whether you voted for them or not, they have been the face of the cities they oversee.

Trump's Visit and Mandelson's Sacking.. Content Warning.
Donald Trump's visit to the UK could not have come at a worse time for Sir Keir Starmer. Peter Mandelson was let go by Sir Keir when he found out he had been involved with Epstein. Given Epstein's penchant for underage girls, Starmer had no choice but to sack Mandelson. Everyone who has ever mixed with Epstein has been tarnished. One well remembers the car crash interview of Prince Andrew. Even Trump has been implicated, but it seems that Trump broke off the friendship for whatever reason. Epstein must be laughing with Satan at the chaos he is still causing beyond the grave.

Israel Launches All-Out Offensive on Gaza City.
Defence Minister Israel Katz says "Gaza is burning" as the IDF attacks Gaza City from the land and the air. Overnight, massive airstrikes were launched upon the city, if you can call it that. Much of the city is now in ruins, and what's left is being pummeled to smithereens. Israel is launching a final push to defeat Hamas once and for all. Gaza City dwellers are being forced south to so-called humanitarian areas. These areas are already overcrowded, and sending more folk there will make things go from bad to worse.

Richard Burgon: TUC Meeting.
Richard Burgon was a minister in Jeremy Corbyn's opposition cabinet. Had Mr. Corbyn won the 2015 general election or even the 2019 one, he would have been in power. This would have enabled him and his Boss, Corbyn, to enact the policies they promised. However, victory for the Corbyn government in waiting did not transpire. In both cases, Theresa May hung on by a finger in power. In 2019, Boris won a landslide, literally blowing Corbyn away politically speaking.

Charlie Kirk: Gunned Down.
I want to say that all loss of life is sad, whether that person is an unknown or someone in the limelight. And that goes for Charlie Kirk, too. Kirk was an ardent Christian, and as a fellow Christian, I pray for his soul. I pray for his wife and kids, who will now face the world without him. 31 years of age is such a young age to lose your life. Whether you agree with Kirk's political or religious views, he was still human. Kirk was a young person who, no doubt, had a promising career in Conservative politics. A personal friend of Trump. Kirk is the one who persuaded the young and the POC (people of colour) to vote for Trump. Kirk ran a right-leaning group called 'Turning Point'. The group promotes right-wing ideas and events.

Shabana Mahmood: The 'Maggie' of Labour?. Content Warning.
No one had taken notice of Shabana Mahmood until she was made Home Secretary by Sir Keir Starmer. She held a cabinet position, but she seems, by and large, to have gone under the radar. Now that she is Home Secretary, she will be taking over Yvette Cooper's intray. And what an intray that will be. She will be taking over the management of migration. Or some might say, the mismanagement of migration in the UK. Two fronts will concern her from the outset. One being the daily boat crossings from France to the UK by migrants. And migrants who come here to study on a student visa but do not return to their country of origin. Already, Miss Mahmood has hit the ground running by taking action on visas from those who come here and abuse the system.

Farage Took Advantage of Starmer.. Content Warning.
We have all seen the protests up and down the UK against migrants being housed in hotels. While hoteliers are laughing all the way to the bank. Protesters stand outside or opposite these places, usually with placards, St George Flags, and the Union Flag. Are these people just mindless far-right thugs, or do some of them have genuine concerns? Well, the answer is some of them will be racist thugs, and I make no bones about that. Others, though, will have concerns about who these men are, and they are largely men of combat age. Of course, many will be genuine people fleeing one disaster or another. But amongst them will be criminals and even terrorists.

The Martian: Not That One!
Earth people, earth people, what have you done? I am here living amongst you for a time period you could not imagine. Whether I will ever return to Mars depends on my Superiors; it seems I have an endless mission on Earth. I live amongst you as a seemingly respectable human. I earn a living as a blogger and writer. While my Earthly wife earns a living in a humble bakery. I have recently moved property, and though I have done it much I do not know how you Earthers put up with such an experience. It truly is a horrendous experience, as are most things that you Earthers go through.

Isak Sells for £125 Million.. Content Warning.
Alexander Isak is an international Swedish player of Eritrean descent. Isak was the love of Tyneside, and he scored many a goal for Newcastle Utd. Together, ironically with scouser Anthony Gordon, Isak was one of Newcastle's top forwards, if not the best. However, things have not been right in the camp for a while. Rumours were flying around that Liverpool wanted to buy the Swedish international. At first, all these rumours were regarded as exactly that, rumours. However, it emerged that Isaac was refusing to play for Newcastle. Liverpool did offer a large sum of money for the Liverpool-loving Isak. However, the sum of money was turned down. Newcastle hoped that Isak would change his mind. However, Isak wanted to go one way only from Tyneside to Merseyside.

Corbyn and Sultana: Who Leads?
Just when Sir Keir Starmer thought he had gotten rid of the spectre of Jeremy Corbyn, the man rises again! Starmer purged the Labour Party of Corbynites and moved Labour to the right/centre (depending on your perspective). Labour won the general election with a thumping 400-odd majority. Sir Keir Starmer was Leader of the Labour Party and Prime Minister. Corbyn was banished from the Labour Party and became an independent MP. Labour at the general election tried to oust Mr. Corbyn from his Islington North Seat. However, their candidate failed, and Mr. Corbyn was reelected as the MP for the area. Independent and no longer attached to the Labour Party. Corbyn has been a Labour Party member, trade union member, campaigner, MP, and Leader of the Labour Party.

Keir Starmer: Peak Migration.. Content Warning.
Sir Keir Starmer is on the brink of unwanted small boats crossing the Channel. The number of these boats crossing the waterway that divides Britain from France is far faster than under Sunak and Johnson. The number of people (because that's what they are) is on the brink of 50,000.
