Michael Lambert: Boris Johnson, Donald Trump and Nigel Farage - Men Who Were Always Destined To Fail
Nov 6, 2026 | Why were the political careers of Trump, Johnson and Farage all destined to end in failure? Three of the most charismatic politicians of our time — and all three ended with reputations in tatters.
In this video I argue that Boris Johnson, Donald Trump, and Nigel Farage were always destined to fail because they were doing it entirely for themselves. Johnson saw being Prime Minister as a bit of a laugh, Trump treated the presidency like just another game show and Farage spent 20 years as a well-paid MEP while claiming to fight the establishment.
I go through the moments when the public decided it was just not fair — from parties in Downing Street during Covid lockdown, to fortunes amassed while ordinary people suffered, to Brexit not being handled properly and questions over a 5-million-pound gift.
Charisma only carries you so far once people realise they've been conned. It's very satisfying to watch a con man realise he's been sussed. These three sad characters prove it. …
In a few words, they are all basTURDS! We have a few of them this side of the Pond, but across the Pond, they have a whole regime-full of them! Westerners need to find their cojones and kick the basTURDS out of office. Pronto! And across the Pond, they need to ensure that when they are kicked out of office, the basTURDS don’t get to walk away with all their ILL-GOTTEN GAINS. The state needs to sequestrate those illegal gains. Then, the next US government will be able to do many goods works for the people with the seized money. — © Mark Alexander

‘Profound Anger’ among Black Voters over Kemi Badenoch’s Slavery Remarks
THE GUARDIAN: Operation Black Vote chair says Tory leader’s claim that Britain should not apologise has caused ‘hurt and disbelief’

The Conservative leader, Kemi Badenoch, has caused “profound anger, hurt and disbelief” among many black voters with her comments about transatlantic slavery, according to the chair of Operation Black Vote (OBV), who urged the prime minister, Andy Burnham, to apologise for Britain’s involvement without delay.
David Weaver, a former government adviser, said the Labour and Tory leaders risked alienating black voters with their handling of the issue of a state apology for slavery, while saying Badenoch’s remarks showed a “troubling absence of moral leadership”.
In a week in which the UK political agenda was dominated by postcolonial legacies, Badenoch said Burnham should not apologise for Britain’s historical role in slavery “because it is a lever to wedge open the door to ask for cash”, while criticising Commonwealth leaders on X.
Burnham, while saying he was pen to making a formal apology on behalf of the British state, has ruled out reparations. Weaver said he welcomed the prime minister’s apparent willingness to apologise, but said the government’s “almost reflexive insistence” that any apology must come with assurances “reparations are off the table” was concerning. » | Chris Osuh Community affairs correspondent | Friday, November 6, 2026

Britain Before World War II: The Royal Crisis and the Road to War | Full Documentary | Reupload
Britain in the mid-1930s was changing rapidly. New freedoms, modern industries and popular leisure activities were transforming everyday life, while Adolf Hitler's growing power in Nazi Germany raised fears of another war.
Newly colourised archival footage captures the rise of Butlins holiday camps, women's fitness movements and outdoor swimming pools. These glimpses of everyday British life contrast with preparations for possible gas attacks and rare footage of the Hitler Youth marching alongside the Britannia Youth movement in Kent in 1936.
The British monarchy also faced a crisis. Following the death of King George V, Edward VIII's decision to marry Wallis Simpson led to his abdication in December 1936 and the accession of George VI.
As Hitler expanded into Austria in 1938, Britain continued pursuing peace through Neville Chamberlain's policy of appeasement. From England's controversial football match against Germany in Berlin to the Munich Agreement, the country sought to avoid another conflict. See Britain in colour during a decade of social change, political uncertainty and efforts to maintain peace.

Goldenes Oval Office für immer?: Trump erklärt sein Büro zum Nationaldenkmal
US-Präsident Donald Trump will sich mit seinem großflächig mit Goldornamenten verzierten Arbeitszimmer verewigen und hat das Oval Office dafür zum Nationaldenkmal erklärt. Ob er damit verhindern kann, dass seine Nachfolger den Raum wieder umgestalten, ist allerdings fraglich.
Die Rechtswirksamkeit der Anordnung, die Trump am Donnerstag im Weißen Haus unterzeichnet hatte, sei unklar, schrieb die „Washington Post“. Künftige Präsidenten würden dadurch nicht gehindert, das Oval Office neu zu dekorieren, hieß es in der Zeitung „USA Today“. » | Tagesspiegel | Freiteg, 6. November 2026
'Was Doing Cartwheels' Canada Premier Doug Ford Absolutely Shreds Trump After Midterm Results
Nov 5, 2026 | Ontario premier Doug Ford said he was doing “cartwheels” when US midterm results showed voters had rebuked President Donald Trump’s economic agenda.
Ford, one of the loudest critics of the president’s tariffs, which have targeted his province’s auto and steel sectors, said the election results were also “a victory for Canada”.
“I’m directing our ministers as soon as everyone gets sworn in, go down to Washington, connect with the senators, the Congress people, and of course, I’ll be talking to the governors and seeing how we can move forward,” he said.

Wall Street plonge, vent de panique sur l’IA : le Nasdaq perd 2500 milliards de capitalisation après la victoire démocrate aux midterms
LE FIGARO : La vague bleue pourrait aboutir à la remise en question de nombreux projets de data centers dans le pays ainsi qu'à de nouvelles régulations sur les acteurs du secteur. Le Nasdaq a vécu jeudi sa pire journée depuis avril 2025.
Gros vent de panique à Wall Street. Deux jours après la vague bleue des midterms, les marchés boursiers américains se sont fortement orientés à la baisse à la clôture des marchés ce jeudi. Le Nasdaq, à forte coloration technologique, a accusé les plus fortes pertes, avec une baisse de 5,52% et enregistré une baisse de capitalisation boursière supérieure à 2500 milliards de dollars. De ce fait, il enregistre sa plus forte baisse journalière depuis avril 2025 et le « Liberation Day » de Donald Trump. Vu le poids des géants de la tech dans les autres indices américains, le S&P 500 et le Dow Jones ont également accusé le coup, cédant respectivement 4,35% et 3,44%.
Difficile de ne pas voir dans ce mouvement l’impact direct du résultat des midterms. Avec la très large défaite de Donald Trump et des républicains dans de nombreux États du pays, beaucoup de projets de centres de données portés par les entreprises du secteur - essentiels pour le développement de l’IA - sont menacés. Selon un décompte du Washington Post réalisé jeudi, une trentaine de juridictions à travers le pays ont voté à l’occasion des élections de mi-mandat des propositions législatives de moratoires sur l’implantation ou à tout le moins des restrictions pour ces objets. C’est notamment le cas dans l’Ohio, au Kansas, en Californie ou encore dans le New Hampshire. Bloomberg assure que la moitié des nouveaux projets de centres de données d’IA à travers les États-Unis sont potentiellement menacés par des moratoires ou des restrictions. « Nous pensions être tirés d’affaire après le rebond du marché au lendemain des élections de mi-mandat, mais soudain, c’est un véritable bain de sang à Wall Street », commente auprès de l’AFP Jose Torres, analyste d’Interactive Brokers. » | Par Lucas Mediavilla | Publié : jeudi 5 novembre 2026.

Do the US Midterms Mean the End of 'Trumpism'? | BBC Question Time
Nov 5, 2026 | Has the "politics of nastiness" come to an end after the Democrats sweep the House and Senate in the US midterms, and what does this mean for politics in the UK and Europe?
Watch what the Question Time panel from Liverpool said on the audience question: "How will the results of US midterms affect us here?", featuring Labour's Lucy Powell, Conservative Luke Evans, TUC General Secretary Paul Nowak, Telegraph columnist Tim Stanley, and psychologist and ex-NBA star John Amaechi.
These are some of the adjectives that immediately spring to mind when I think of Trump: coarse, vulgar, incompetent, corrupt, self-serving, egocentric, dangerous, treasonous, criminal, childlike, greedy, sex-driven, and dishonest. I could go on. There are plenty more appropriate adjectives to describe Trump. But with this list, you get my drift. The sooner America and the world is rid of that deplorable man, the better! — © Mark Alexander

Corruption Watchdog: Voters "Have Eyes" & Saw Trump "Enriching Himself" at Their Expense
Nov 5, 2026 | Democrats regained control of both the House and the Senate in Tuesday's historic midterm elections, a comeback fuelled largely by voter anger over high prices and the war on Iran. But surveys also found that corruption was a major concern, with 76% of voters telling a Harris poll that elected officials care more about enriching themselves than improving the economy for ordinary people. A separate Reuters/Ipsos poll found that 63% of Americans considered it inappropriate for Trump and his family to profit from cryptocurrency, while 69% said his private business interests influence his decisions as president.
"If this election was about corruption and cost, then this next Congress needs to be focused on accountability and affordability," says Donald Sherman, the president and CEO of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, or CREW.
"Congress needs to do oversight not just on the administration's corruption, not just on the president's profiteering, but also on corporate America, what they have gotten out of engaging in the president's pay-to-play environment, how corporate America and the outside influence of money in our political system has undermined the public voice in our policy discussions."

Russell Brand Is Found Guilty of Rape and Sexual Assault
THE NEW YORK TIMES: The judge in London said the popular conspiratorial YouTuber and former movie star would be sentenced to “significant custodial time.”

Russell Brand, the popular conspiracy-minded YouTuber who first found fame as a comedy and acting star, was found guilty in a London court on Thursday of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault.
He was found not guilty of two other counts of rape and one count of attempted indecent assault.
The jury, at Southwark Crown Court in London, took about eight and a half hours to reach its unanimous decisions, which concerned episodes that prosecutors said involved six women and occurred between 1999 and 2009, a period when Mr. Brand was becoming a public figure.
The judge, Joel Bennathan, said he would sentence Mr. Brand, 51, to “significant custodial time” on Monday and denied him bail. Under British sentencing guidelines for rape, the maximum sentence is life imprisonment, although a more typical prison term is four to 19 years.
Mr. Brand could also face further legal challenges related to his past sexual behavior. A spokeswoman for London’s police said in an emailed statement after the verdicts that officers had questioned Mr. Brand about two further accusations of rape and submitted files to prosecutors. He has also faced a civil action in the United States. » | Alex Marshall | Reporting from Southwark Crown Court in London | Thursday, November 5, 2026

Bank of England Raises Interest Rates and Warns of More Pain to Come
THE TEKEGRAPH: Policymakers vote to raise rates from 3.75pc to 4pc, the first increase since August 2023
The Bank of England has raised interest rates for the first time in three years and warned households to brace for further pain. Policymakers voted to raise rates from 3.75pc to 4pc on Thursday, the first increase since August 2023.
Britain’s borrowing costs rose and the pound edged up as the Bank signalled there could be another increase before Christmas.
The Bank blamed the ongoing conflict in the Middle East for triggering another sharp jump in energy prices, with John Healey’s maiden Budget doing little to ease a two-year decline in household incomes.
Threadneedle Street now believes inflation will peak at around 5pc by the middle of 2027, even if the economy slows sharply.
However, policymakers said price rises would peak at 6pc next summer if the Iran war did not end.
The Bank also laid bare the impact of the conflict on family finances, with Donald Trump’s war pushing up mortgage costs for the average household by £1,500. » | Szu Ping Chan Economics Editor. Chris Price Markets Editor | Thursday, November 5, 2026

Women under the Third Reich I Episode 1: Indoctrination I Pure WW2
Nov 5, 2026 | When Hitler came to power in 1933, Nazi Germany began reshaping the lives of young women through organizations such as the League of German Girls, the BDM. Girls were taught obedience, racial ideology, physical discipline, and a vision of womanhood centered on motherhood and service to the regime. Yet the outbreak of war in 1939 would dramatically expand the roles women were expected to play.
As millions of men were sent to the front, women entered factories, farms, hospitals, and administrative positions across the Reich. Thousands were also sent into occupied Eastern Europe as secretaries, nurses, teachers, and wives of SS personnel. Some became witnesses to Nazi persecution and mass murder, while others actively participated in occupation, exploitation, and the machinery of genocide.

Frank Schaeffer: USA to Elon Musk: Get Lost!
We must break the political power of the oligarchs before they finish breaking our democracy forever. America does not belong to Elon Musk, Donald Trump, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Peter Thiel, Larry Ellison, or Rupert Murdoch. It belongs to you and me. It belongs to the American people.
The lesson of Texas is that the people can still win. But now that victory must be translated into action by our democratically elected representatives. Break up the billionaire monopolies. Regulate technology giants. Reform campaign financing. Stop allowing billionaires to purchase political influence and hold entire nations hostage to their private business decisions.
Side with freedom and democracy. Side with the brave Ukrainians. Stand up for our neighbors rather than turning against them. We must break the political power of the oligarchs before they finish breaking our democracy forever. This is our country, not theirs. And it’s time we took it back.
Bravo, Frank Schaeffer! Brilliantly said! You’re telling it just like it is! We need to tell these tech bros who are trying to destroy our democracies to get on their bikes! They have no love for democracy because of the environments they grew up in.
Peter Thiel moved from South Africa to Namibia where he attended a German-speaking school in the coastal city of Swakopmund. During the 1970s, the German community of Swakopmund, of which he and his family were members, was notorious for its glorification of Nazism. It was a place where local residents at that time still used the ‘Heil Hitler’ greeting! (Der Hitlergruß.) The community also openly celebrated Hitler’s birthday! Peter Thiel’s family emigrated from Namibia in southern Africa to California when Peter was about ten years old.
Elon Musk did not live in Namibia. He was raised and schooled in South Africa, in Pretoria, Johannesburg, and Durban. Elon grew up under the white-minority rule of the apartheid regime. Members of Elon’s family, particularly his maternal grandfather, Joshua Haldeman, had fascist leanings. Elon left apartheid South Africa at about the age of seventeen to avoid mandatory military service. He left first for Canada, the one-time home of his maternal grandfather, before relocating to the USA where he made his career. — © Mark Alexander

The lesson of Texas is that the people can still win. But now that victory must be translated into action by our democratically elected representatives. Break up the billionaire monopolies. Regulate technology giants. Reform campaign financing. Stop allowing billionaires to purchase political influence and hold entire nations hostage to their private business decisions.
Side with freedom and democracy. Side with the brave Ukrainians. Stand up for our neighbors rather than turning against them. We must break the political power of the oligarchs before they finish breaking our democracy forever. This is our country, not theirs. And it’s time we took it back.
Bravo, Frank Schaeffer! Brilliantly said! You’re telling it just like it is! We need to tell these tech bros who are trying to destroy our democracies to get on their bikes! They have no love for democracy because of the environments they grew up in.
Peter Thiel moved from South Africa to Namibia where he attended a German-speaking school in the coastal city of Swakopmund. During the 1970s, the German community of Swakopmund, of which he and his family were members, was notorious for its glorification of Nazism. It was a place where local residents at that time still used the ‘Heil Hitler’ greeting! (Der Hitlergruß.) The community also openly celebrated Hitler’s birthday! Peter Thiel’s family emigrated from Namibia in southern Africa to California when Peter was about ten years old.
Elon Musk did not live in Namibia. He was raised and schooled in South Africa, in Pretoria, Johannesburg, and Durban. Elon grew up under the white-minority rule of the apartheid regime. Members of Elon’s family, particularly his maternal grandfather, Joshua Haldeman, had fascist leanings. Elon left apartheid South Africa at about the age of seventeen to avoid mandatory military service. He left first for Canada, the one-time home of his maternal grandfather, before relocating to the USA where he made his career. — © Mark Alexander

Steve Rosenberg: What Are Today's Russian Papers Saying about the Results of the US Midterms?
Wall Street Turns Its Back on Trump and Musk by Dumping Related Assets, Roger Montgomery Says
Nov 5, 2026 | As the blame game erupts within Republican ranks over the midterms rout, what was an extraordinary day in Washington saw a remarkable rally on Wall Street. The best day in 20-months for the Dow Jones Industrial Average, while tech stocks rose on the Nasdaq. But Elon musk's Tesla and SpaceX took a hit. The billionaire spending hundreds of millions of dollars unsuccessfully backing Republicans in the midterms.
Fund manager Roger Montgomery says the clean sweep by the Democrats simply means that there will be questions "about Starlink and the grants that they've got and the contracts that they've got with government, as well as SpaceX and Tesla even."
The oil price slump also seemed to boost global stock markets but Roger Montgomery is not convinced the optimism will last. "Foreign policy in the United States has been antagonistic towards the Middle East. And the belief is that that won't continue. But of course, the fact that we've got Donald Trump as a lame duck president, he will pronounce executive orders that will remain destabilising."

Democrats Won Congress in a ‘Blue Tsunami'. Can They End the War in Iran? | The Global Story
Nov 4, 2026 | Can a new crop of Democrats in Congress end the war in Iran?
Democrats have taken control of both chambers of Congress in the US midterm elections, dealing a major blow to President Donald Trump. The result could have significant implications for US foreign policy – and for the conflicts unfolding overseas.
The Global Story’s Asma Khalid and Tristan Redman explore what the results mean for America’s role in the world. They hear from Democratic Representative Jason Crow and Damian Murphy of the Center for American Progress about how congressional Democrats plan to challenge Trump’s foreign policy agenda – from the wars in Iran and Ukraine to America’s relationships with its allies and adversaries.

US-Kongresswahlen: Vance sieht Iran-Krieg als Grund für Niederlage der Republikaner
BERLINER ZEITUNG: Trotz hoher Beteiligung republikanischer Wähler verlor die Partei zahlreiche frühere Anhänger. Trumps Vize verlangt nun eine offene Diskussion über den Krieg und den Israel-Kurs.

US-Vizepräsident JD Vance macht den Krieg gegen den Iran für die Niederlage der Republikaner bei den Kongresswahlen verantwortlich. Viele frühere Anhänger von Präsident Donald Trump hätten sich bei der Wahl am Dienstag den Demokraten zugewandt, schrieb Vance am Mittwoch auf der Plattform X. „Der Grund, warum wir verloren haben, ist der Krieg“, zitiert ihn die Nachrichtenagentur dpa.
Vance widersprach der Annahme, seine Partei habe vor allem zu wenige Wähler mobilisiert. Die republikanischen Anhänger seien durchaus zur Wahl gegangen, hätten aber teilweise für die Demokraten gestimmt. Auch Trump habe den Krieg am Dienstagabend als Grund für die Niederlage genannt, schrieb der Vizepräsident. » | Peter Steiniger | Mittwoch, 4. November 2026

How the World Reacted to Trump’s Midterm Defeat: 6 Things to Know
THE NEW YORK TIMES: Commentators abroad wondered what President Trump’s electoral losses might mean for oil prices, the war on Iran and the future of American politics.
Global leaders offered little public sympathy to President Trump after his party was blown out in the midterm elections, even as they wondered what the result might mean for trade, energy and wars in Ukraine and the Middle East.
Mr. Trump’s enemies abroad — and many of his more estranged frenemies, as well — could not hide their glee on Wednesday morning after Democrats seized the House and Senate. There were celebrations in Iran and China, in Spain and South Africa, and from some European officials in Brussels.
From many of Mr. Trump’s closest allies, there was largely silence. There was no official reaction from leaders in Britain, France, Germany or Italy — or in the Latin American countries now led by right-wing leaders, some endorsed by Mr. Trump.
It was a reflection, analysts said, of the shocking scale of the defeat — and of a desire not to further antagonize a president who retains great power on the world stage.
“In response to a Democrat-controlled Congress,” said Ja-Ian Chong, an associate professor of political science at the National University of Singapore, “Trump could try to find distractions elsewhere, including on tariffs and the use of force.”

Émeutiers d’ultragauche, troubles graves et dégradations prévisibles : les autorités se préparent à un « jeudi noir », émaillé de violences
LE FIGARO : DÉCRYPTAGE - Alors que 500 000 à 700 000 manifestants sont attendus dans les rues de France, 70 000 policiers et gendarmes vont être déployés pour éviter les scènes de chaos du 17 octobre.
Un jeudi noir de très forte mobilisation, hanté par des « risques très élevés », avec de « nombreuses violences » provoquées par des casseurs d’ultragauche en « direction des forces de l’ordre et des dégradations de bâtiments publics prévisibles » : tel est le dernier scénario redouté par les autorités à la veille de l’« acte IV » du mouvement de colère. « La journée devrait sceller la jonction entre plusieurs luttes et oppositions du secteur public, privé, de la jeunesse, de collectifs citoyens et de partis politiques situés à gauche ou à l’extrême gauche », prévient une source proche des services de renseignements alors que 220 actions de voie publique sont prévues sur tout le territoire. Les analystes du ministère de l’Intérieur alertent déjà que la « participation s’annonce aussi massive que le risque de troubles à l’ordre public est élevé, avec la présence simultanée, dans de nombreuses villes, d’émeutiers sans motivation idéologique et de membres de l’extrême gauche radicale et de l’ultragauche particulièrement organisés, aspirant à la déstabilisation de l’État et de toutes les formes d’autorité ». » | Par Christophe Cornevin et Angélique Négroni | mercredi 4 novembre 2026

JD Vance Will “Reek with the Stink of Donald Trump” | Chris Christie
Nov 4, 2026 | “I don’t feel like JD Vance is the right leader for our party, and I certainly don’t think he has any chance of being elected president of the United States.”
JD Vance had “no other relevant experience” to be US president other than being Donald Trump’s vice president, and he will “reek with the stink” of Trump, says former governor of New Jersey Chris Christie.

America Makes History: Black, Latino, Muslim, Native American & LGBTQ+ Democrats Smash Midterms
Nov 4, 2026 | America's 2026 midterm elections have delivered a series of historic Democratic victories, transforming the face of American politics and dramatically expanding minority representation in the country's highest elected offices.
From Deb Haaland becoming America's first Native American woman governor to Keisha Lance Bottoms making history as Georgia's first Black female governor, the election has produced extraordinary breakthroughs.
Abdul El-Sayed becomes the first Muslim US senator, Peggy Flanagan the first Native American woman in the Senate, and Chris Pappas the first openly gay man elected to the chamber.
Meanwhile, Latino, Black, and other minority candidates have secured landmark victories across the country.
These results represent more than individual political triumphs. They highlight a changing America, where communities historically underrepresented in government are claiming a greater voice in shaping the nation's future.
Against the backdrop of Donald Trump's divisive rhetoric on race, immigration, religion and identity, the results have prompted a wider debate about diversity, inclusion and the future of American democracy.
