Back in December 2016 I wrote an article for The Duran in which I wrote of how Theresa May’s inability to articulate a clear Brexit plan exposed her as someone with no clear idea of the way forward.
A century ago, the U.K.’s Balfour Declaration set in motion the human rights disaster of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but – for opportunistic reasons – British politicians plan to hail it as a brilliant success, says Lawrence Davidson. By Lawrence Davidson…Read more →

Nicola Sturgeon has triggered a fresh constitutional battle over Scotland’s future after announcing plans to stage a second independence referendum within two years.
It takes a lot to unite a British Prime Minister, the Labour leader, Nigel Farage, George Galloway and majority of the voting UK public, but Brexit seems to have done just that.
In England, only the Liberal Democrats maintain official opposition to allowing Brexit to progress, and even they admit that this could only be achieved if they were to win the next general election, something as likely as Hilary Clinton writing a serenade to President Putin.
Theresa May’s Brexit plans have prioritised immigration over everything else, including leaving the single European market as a price worth paying to end freedom of movement. A report by the thinktank, Global Future, has crunched the numbers on the likely impact on immigration once Britain leaves the EU, only to discover that the reduction may amount to no more than 15% out of a total of 335,000 immigrants entering Britain per year.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will be in Washington on February 15, 2017, for an official visit with United States President Donald J. Trump.
The House of Commons, the lower house of the British Parliament, has now finally voted through the bill Theresa May’s government presented in the aftermath of the Supreme Court’s ruling that the British government needs parliamentary approval before it can invoke Article 50, which formally starts the process for Britain to leave the European Union.
The government’s margin of victory was a decisive 494 to 122, with all but 59 Labour MPs following the lead given by Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn by voting for the bill.

Benjamin Netanyahu has pressed Britain to act against a “militant Iran” bent on conquering the Middle East and destroying Israel, as he attempted to shift the focus of talks with Theresa May away from illegal settlement building in the occupied West Bank.
As predicted, Theresa May’s government has had no difficulty winning support in the House of Commons for the Brexit bill that the decisions of the High Court and the Supreme Court forced on her.
The Brexit bill – which authorises Theresa May to invoke Article 50 – has just passed its first vote in the House of Commons with a vote of 498 votes in favour, and 114 against.
