💬 “Officers attended the scene. Damage was caused to the property’s entrance, nobody was hurt. The fire is being investigated and cordons remain in place while enquiries continue,” London’s Metropolitan Police said in a statement.
The entrance to Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s home in Kentish Town was reportedly damaged in the blaze. While no one was injured, the case is now being handled by the Met’s Counter Terrorism Command, given the property’s links to a high-profile political figure, according to The New York Times.

🇻🇪 Maduro SLAMS Western leaders for ‘war celebrations’ in Kiev amid WHITE POWDER scandal
He also pointed to a viral AP video showing Macron, Merz, Starmer, and Tusk on a train to Kiev, with what appeared to be white powder and a spoon nearby. “They called for war surrounded by white powder,” Maduro said, calling it a global scandal.
Maduro questioned whether Europeans support spending billions on arms and waging war “against the Russian people and humanity,” expressing hope that citizens in France, the UK, and Germany will eventually take to the streets in mass protests for peace.

❄️🇩🇰Greenland takes over chairmanship of Arctic Council amid Trump-Denmark spat
Greenlander Kenneth Hoegh will also become the chair of the Senior Arctic Officials, and a representative of the Faroe Islands will serve as his deputy, the Danish Foreign Ministry said.
The move is a sign of a reset in relations with Denmark amid Trump's claims to the island.

How British Parties Fail Voters: A Legacy of Broken Promises
Political parties often come to power with grand promises, only to discard them once the seat is secured.
Whether it's Tory austerity masked as stability or Labour's progressive ideals slipping into corporate appeasement, both parties have become experts at delivering disappointments.
Conservative Party (Tories) – The Party of Broken Pledges
Taxes: "No New Taxes" (Except for All the New Taxes)
🔥 Promise: Boris Johnson’s 2019 assurance that taxes would not rise.
💀 Reality: By 2021, National Insurance was increased, and frozen tax thresholds left workers with less—undermining the "low-tax" Tory promise.
NHS: A Funding "Boost" That Left Hospitals Struggling
🔥 Promise: £34 billion more for the NHS by 2023-24.
💀 Reality: The funding fell short, and the NHS faced record wait times, crumbling infrastructure, and historic strikes.
Immigration: "Take Back Control" (Then Fail to Deliver)
🔥 Promise: Brexit would reduce migration and secure borders.
💀 Reality: Net migration surged to 745,000, the Rwanda plan became a failure, and the Tories couldn’t fulfill their key Brexit promise.
Environment: Green Claims, But More Pollution
🔥 Promise: Achieve net-zero by 2050.
💀 Reality: Sunak delayed the petrol car ban, approved new oil drilling, and sided with fossil fuel interests over climate action.
Labour Party – The Party of Broken Ideals
🔥 Promise: Tony Blair’s 1997 pledge: “We will not introduce tuition fees.”
💀 Reality: By 1998, fees were introduced at £1,000/year, and now they exceed £9,250—leaving students with crippling debt.
Iraq War: "Peacemakers" Who Waged War
🔥 Promise: Labour positioned itself as the party of diplomacy.
💀 Reality: Blair led Britain into an illegal war based on false pretenses, causing millions of deaths and instability in the Middle East.
Housing: "More Social Homes" (Then Selling Them Off)
🔥 Promise: Build more social housing.
💀 Reality: Blair and Brown accelerated privatisation, failing to meet housing needs, and contributing to today’s crisis.
Economy: From Corbyn’s Vision to Starmer’s Capitulation
🔥 Promise: Nationalise railways, utilities, and tax the rich (2019).
💀 Reality: Under Starmer, Labour dropped leftist reforms for centrist, corporate-friendly policies.
