Federal investigation triggers political firestorm as Newsom blows up at Trump

Sky News host Danica De Giorgio discusses the US federal investigation against California Governor Gavin Newsom. “Let’s talk about Gavin Newsom … he and his wife are now under federal investigation in relation to tax-related conduct,” Ms De Giorgio said. “True to form, he’s turned to a well-trodden strategy, making political hay out of confrontation with Donald Trump. “He claims that Donald Trump was behind this Justice Department probe because ‘I am considering running for president’. “If he is indeed considering a run for president, well, lay it on the line, be transparent, if you’ve got something to show, show it, otherwise don’t back away.”

Keir Starmer will leave a 'legacy of failure', Suella Braverman tells GB News

Suella Braverman has declared that Sir Keir Starmer will leave a legacy of failure following his resignation as Prime Minister today.Speaking to GB News, the Reform UK MP told GB News that his departure was inevitable after two years of scandal.She said: Of course at a human level, you can't help but be a bit moved, but I'm not going to miss Keir Starmer. He's been one of the worst prime ministers our country has ever seen, and talk about legacy, I think his legacy is going to go down as one of the worst in our history. Mandelson scandal, corruption, a friend of a paedophile put into our most important position in Washington, the special relationship with the US is absolutely dead because of Starmer's bad foreign policy. Chagos Islands, British territory being sold off in the name of reparations, a tin-earred response to grooming gangs, an absolute failure to stop the boats and secure our borders, record taxation, small businesses being crippled and going bust. I could go on. So this is a legacy of failure, and I'm afraid that the end was inevitable.WATCH ABOVE. Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter

Full Frontal's Amy Hoggart On The British Political Meltdown

Comedian Amy Hoggart—of Full Frontal and the “What’s Left” Substack—joins Cliff Schecter for a fast, funny hour decoding the political chaos across the Atlantic. Keir Starmer just became the least popular prime minister in recorded British history, got shoved out in a bloodless “coup,” likely to be replaced by Manchester mayor Andy Burnham. Nigel Farage’s Reform is cratering after a £5 million crypto donation scandal. It’s a wild story—and Hoggart, who actually loses sleep researching these constituencies at 3 a.m., is the perfect guide through it. Under the jokes is a warning every American Democrat should hear. Starmer’s government quietly delivered—free childcare, renter protections—and told absolutely no one, the same fatal flaw Cliff sees strangling the Democratic Party: do the good thing, refuse to tell the story, and let the Farages and Trumps take the credit.

Keystone Kash Runs Into Trouble With Crackpot FBI Goose Chase

Kylie Cooper/ReutersSenate Democrats are pushing back hard against FBI Director Kash Patel’s wild decision to mobilize hundreds of federal agents and analysts on what one senior senator is calling a “fool’s errand.” Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, wrote to both Patel and Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche demanding answers after MS NOW reported that Patel had ordered 260 FBI intelligence analysts from field offices across the entire country to work on what internal FBI documents describe as a “priority investigation” in Georgia related to the 2020 election. Warner did not mince his words. “This misuse of taxpayer dollars is negligence and abuse of power of the highest order,” he wrote, before laying out exactly what was being sacrificed to pursue it.Read more at The Daily Beast.

The two deep failures of modern liberalism | Fareed’s Take

In Britain, the man widely expected to replace the stately Keir Starmer as prime minister is Andy Burnham, who touts “business-friendly socialism” as his credo. In New York, Democratic primary elections produced striking victories for democratic socialists, suggesting that the insurgent left has found a way to turn protest into power. Fareed Zakaria argues that liberalism is losing energy, confidence and connection to the people it claims to represent and it needs to regain that radical spirit to remain a relevant political force. Also, writer David Brooks talks with Fareed on how America has gotten so divided and whether it can be brought back from the brink. 0:00 Socialist gains in recent elections 3:05 Fareed: Why liberals should love markets 6:20 How America got so divided 7:59 Can America come back from the brink?
