UK Column Live

Brexit chaos has taken over Westminster this week, as Boris Johnson fights to stave-off a rebellion in his own party and beyond – as a rebel alliance of anti-No Deal MPs from all sides of the House band together to oppose the Tory leader’s plan to crash out of the EU on October 31st. Also, Pink Floyd co-founder, Roger Waters, makes history playing in front of the British Home Office to thousands of free speech demonstrators – all demanding the release of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. All this and more. 

This week: Boris’s Brexit blag, and Brussels’ new ‘EU Army’ becomes reality. Also, election meddling by Twitter as the Silicon Valley attempt to derail Tulsi Gabbard’s insurgent presidential run. Also, two back-to-back mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton set the stage for an artificial civil war in America. All this and much more.
Watch as UK Column News hosts Mike Robinson and Patrick Henningsen break down this week’s top stories.

This week we’ll discuss the fall-out of Washington’s scrape with Iran, and the visible cracks in Trump’s foreign policy circle. We’ll look at the current trial of foreign NGOs operating in Turkey and why countrys are rejecting Soros-style ‘civil society’ operations. We also look at the current upheaval in Sudan – one of the most under-reported geopolitical events – with huge implications for Yemen and the future of Africa. Is wheat being used as a weapon by the US against Syria?

The UK’s Tory leadership race is fast descending into the political version of a US-style game show, in a series of vapid television debates designed to promote the individual careers of the candidates.  Meanwhile,  US politicians and UK ministers are setting their sights on Iran with a wave of aggressive comments, threats and war cries over this past week following an incident in the Gulf of Oman involving two oil tankers.  Also, US officials and John Bolton claim that the US has already launched its cyber war on Russia’s energy infrastructure. All this and much more.

UK Tory leadership contest circus continues to get more bizarre this week, as the establishment clean-up Boris Johnson’s appearance in the hopes of revamping his bumbling Etonian image. YouTube, Facebook and mainstream outlets continue to collude this week to deplatform and demonetize what they consider ‘undesirable’ political content, with government now imposing its own authority over online speech. Also, a look at St. Petersberg Economic Summit and Russian President Putin’s warning on American economic warfare.

Trump’s state visit to Britain triggers a wave of protests in London, including from Mayor Sadiq Khan, meanwhile Trump’s trade wars escalate with both China and Mexico as globalization and NAFTA take a direct hit from Washington’s neomercantilist approach to international relations, including ‘Chinese blacklists.

This week’s European saw the UK’s new Brexit Party sweep the decks in one of the biggest political paradigm shifts in decades. Also, Trump’s DOJ hands down shocking new indictments charging WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange under the Espionage Act and threatening the First Amendment. Trump and Co. caught using phony Israeli intelligence to trigger a national emergency in order to green-light an $8 billion arms deal with international pariah Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. New York Times runs UFO story, but is it real, or just a Hollywood marketing ploy? All this and more. 

The UK government’s gruesome military and bioweapons animal testing operation at Porton Down Lab is revealed, China’s Belt & Road Summit, the truth behind the ‘Green New Deal’ and the controversial 5G roll-out may be stuck in the mud at Glastonbury festival this summer. All this and more. 
Co-hosts Patrick Henningsen and Mike Robinson cover the early week news round-up.

This week: a new article in NYT reveals how Trump may have been duped by dodgy photos of dead ducks and children fabricated by his MI5 and CIA handlers – luring the President into believing the Official Skripal fairy tale which led to expelling Russia diplomats. Also, the Notre Dame Cathedral fire in Paris coincides with other fires of religious sites, as well as inspiring a spate of viral fake news spun-up by popular online Right-wing pundits claiming “The Muslims!” were somehow behind the fire.

The UK government is now going for broke with a new white paper outlining how they will be regulating online speech in order ‘to protect children’ and public officials from ‘harm and abuse’. Can it be stopped? Also, Julian Assange under threat of eviction from Ecuadorian Embassy, while the UK gov’t ironically crusades for ‘Media Freedom’.  Bibi Netanyahu is making yet another land-grab against the native Palestinian population in the West Bank. Beto O’Rourke appears to challenge the Israeli Lobby, but is he really, or is it just another ploy?
