The agenda set at last week’s Group of 7 summit included British Prime Minister Boris Johnson pining over a world more “feminine” and “gender neutral.” “We need to make sure that as we recover, we level up across our societies and we build back better,” Johnson said, the New York Post reported . “And I actually think that we have a huge opportunity to do that, because as G7, we are united in our vision for a cleaner, greener world, a solution to the problems of climate change. And in those ideas, in those technologies, which we’re all addressing together, I think there is the potential to generate many, many millions of high-wage, high-skill jobs.” “And I think that is what the people of our countries now want us to focus on,” the conservative PM continued. “They want us to be sure that we’re beating the pandemic together and discussing how we’ll never have a repeat of what we’ve seen, but also that we’re building back better together,” Johnson said. “And building back greener … [Read more...] about G7 Summit Woke Agenda: Boris Johnson Wants World More ‘Feminine’ And ‘Gender Neutral’ | The Daily Wire

The renegotiated Iran nuclear deal would destabilise the Middle East if adopted, three former Tory Cabinet ministers will argue on Thursday in a warning shot to the Government. Robert Jenrick, the former communities secretary, Liam Fox, the former defence secretary, and Stephen Crabb, the former Welsh secretary, are all backing a critical motion to be debated in Parliament. The motion lists a string of proposed changes to the draft agreement, which seeks to curb Iran’s drive towards developing nuclear weapons. The ideas include bringing in a stricter regime of monitoring on Iran’s nuclear activity and adopting tougher policing of Tehran’s “destabilising” activities. The original Iran nuclear deal was struck in 2015 and was signed with the UK, US, China, France, Germany, Russia and the European Union. It saw Tehran agree to curb its nuclear development in return for the lifting of economic sanctions. In recent years there have been attempts to negotiate a new deal after … [Read more...] about Signing a nuclear deal with Iran ‘would destabilise the Middle East’

Despite claims in the West that Russia has already been defeated strategically, Putin has been rebuilding alliances that had frayed at the start of his invasion. China, the Kremlin's most important partner, hedged its bets when Putin sent his forces in, calling for peace while laying at least part of the blame on Nato and the US. But just over a week ago, President Xi pledged greater economic and defence ties with Russia, flying in the face of Joe Biden’s direct warning to him in March against aiding Putin. India and South Africa have also stuck with Putin, refusing to condemn his aggression at the UN. Indonesia too refused to join the international sanctions regime and, despite pressure, has invited Putin to the G20 summit in Bali in November which it is hosting. In the Middle East, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Iran still maintain good relations with Moscow; and, along with Xi, Egypt’s President el-Sisi this month addressed the St Petersburg International Economic Forum, dubbed the … [Read more...] about Whilst the G7 dithers, Putin is rebuilding his strategic power

It is the day after the Chancellor’s spring statement , and Jeremy Hunt needs just one word to sum up what he thinks Rishi Sunak should be most worried about: growth. Quite apart from the cost of living crisis that is dominating all of our bank balances, Hunt warns that if the current growth forecasts prove accurate, “then it’s going to become very difficult to fund the growth in NHS and social care spending and the growth in defence spending that we need and that the public want”. The former foreign, health, and culture secretary believes the 2024 election will be fought on economic and foreign policy issues, and both Boris Johnson and Sunak would be well advised to keep an eye on a man who still harbours ambitions of leading the Conservative Party into that battle. With the Partygate investigation still hanging over the Prime Minister and Sunak’s popularity taking a battering this week, there remains an outside chance that the Tories will be looking for a new leader … [Read more...] about Jeremy Hunt: ‘I discovered to my surprise during the leadership campaign that I really did want the job’

In a historic moment for the military alliance, the Turkish leader joined his Swedish and Finnish counterparts to sign a memorandum of understanding, paving the way for their accession to the alliance.
