Reform UK is now the leading political force in Britain.

Now that the historic state visit from US President Donald J. Trump to the UK is over, life goes back to the routine for failing Prime Minister Keir Starmer and his Labour party – a routine of bad news.

Today (19), we learn that the Labour party has plummeted to a new low in the polls, after the back-to-back scandals of the Deputy PM Angela Rayner resignation and the Lord Mandelson firing.

The Telegraph reported:

“A poll published on Friday put Sir Keir Starmer’s party at 16 per cent of the vote, the lowest share it has recorded since taking power in July 2024.”

Rayner quit as Starmer’s deputy, as well as deputy Labour leader and housing secretary, while US Ambassador Lord Mandelson was fired after emails revealed the compromising extent of his friendship with late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

“A poll of 4,795 adults by Find Out Now, conducted on Sept 17 and 18, showed Labour and the Conservatives tied at 16 per cent, with Labour down three points on the previous week.

Reform UK was comfortably in front with 34 per cent, in a sign that Nigel Farage’s party is continuing to make gains at the expense of both Labour and the Tories.”

The Telegraph is historically a pro-Tory newspaper, so we understand that they do not add up the numbers to see that Reform UK is now polling higher than Labour and Conservatives put together.

This is Reform’s highest ever lead and Labour’s lowest ever score.

“Labour’s dire polling heightens the stakes for the party’s annual conference, which begins in Liverpool a week on Sunday Sept 28, as well as Chancellor Rachel Reeves’s make-or-break Budget on Nov 26.”

Stunning new poll puts Reform a record *18 points clear* of Labour.

Britain is waking up!

Belgium’s former Deputy Prime Minister and current rector of Ghent University, Petra De Sutter, has announced she will not participate in an upcoming trade delegation to the United States.

De Sutter, who is Europe’s first openly transgender national minister, cited concerns about President Donald Trump’s recently reinstated policies on gender and identity.

Speaking to Belgian media, De Sutter explained that her presence could risk creating a diplomatic incident.

“I simply can’t go there, or I’ll get into trouble… Or I’ll cause some kind of incident, and I have no interest in that,” she stated, declining to elaborate further.

A long-standing member of Belgium’s Green Party and former Member of the European Parliament, De Sutter has frequently championed progressive causes throughout her political career.

Her decision reflects her unease over President Trump’s early executive orders, which emphasize traditional definitions of sex and gender.

In interviews with outlets like VRT and De Standaard, she hinted at personal safety concerns, drawing parallels to past experiences of discrimination.

Supporters, including Green Party colleagues, have rallied around her, framing the boycott as a principled stand against regressive U.S. governance.

Since his return to office in January 2025, Trump has battled the woke agenda by prioritizing policies aimed at restricting recognition of gender diversity.

Trump has reestablished sex-based guidelines in areas such as women’s athletics, and curtailing federal funding for programs associated with gender identity initiatives.

De Sutter’s decision has sparked debate within Belgium’s broader political circles, where some argue her absence could weaken the country’s voice in crucial transatlantic trade negotiations.

Many Belgians, weary of a political class they view as detached from real concerns, are questioning why cultural debates in Washington should dictate Belgium’s economic diplomacy.

De Sutter’s boycott is less about protecting rights and more about signaling virtue to an ever-narrowing political base.

Starbucks has officially responded to the viral outrage after a Chicago family revealed that their elderly mother’s drink order, Charlie Kirk’s favorite Mint Majesty Tea with honey, came back with the word “LOSER :)” scribbled on the cup.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Jacqueline Garretson’s mother-in-law, a senior citizen with zero political axe to grind, ordered Charlie Kirk’s favorite Mint Majesty tea at a Chicago Starbucks, only to discover the insulting label mocking the Turning Point USA leader and his millions of followers.

The family unleashed holy hell, confronting managers and sparking a massive backlash that forced the store to temporarily shutter amid floods of calls.

“This morning a family member went to Starbucks and ordered Charlie Kirk’s favorite drink — Mint Majesty with honey. When their cup came back, it was marked with the word ‘loser :)’ scribbled across it,” Garretson wrote.

“No customer should ever be mocked or insulted because of what they order or what they believe. This is blatant bias, unprofessional, and unacceptable.”

Call Starbucks out. Demand accountability.

The couple immediately confronted the store’s district manager, demanding swift action against the employee responsible.

Garretson wrote an update on her X account Friday, stating, “I have not been contacted by a store manager or district manager. I have not been contacted by corporate. I have seen Starbucks’ statement. I called corporate today and spoke to the 2 DMs in store today, and they all said it is still under investigation.”

Chicago Starbucks Reportedly Writes “LOSER” on Cup After Customer Orders Charlie Kirk’s Favorite Drink — Family Demands Accountability as Store Temporarily Closes Amid Outrage

Starbucks is now denying responsibility for the shocking incident in Chicago.

The Gateway Pundit reached out to Starbucks for comment. Abigail Covington, from Starbucks Coffee Company, provided the following statement:

"I’ve left our on the record statement with some additional background below for your reference. Please attribute to a Starbucks spokesperson.

On the Record:

After a full investigation, we found zero evidence to support this. It’s false. We’ve reviewed recent social media posts alleging that critical comments were written on Starbucks cups. Our investigation, which included a review of timestamped in-store video footage, confirms that in the cases shared so far, the comments were not written by a Starbucks partner. They appear to have been added after the beverage was handed off, likely by someone else.  If you want to read more about Starbucks’ position on names on cups, we have shared more information on our site.

Additional background:

While we believe handwritten notes on our cups are a meaningful way for our baristas to connect with customers, we also have clear policies that prohibit political slogans or negative messages to help preserve a welcoming environment. In the event we receive a report that a message doesn’t comply with our policy, we carefully review each case.  We know the markers we use to write on cups are accessible to anyone. And therefore, notes can be easily added to a cup by others after the drink has been handed off by our baristas."

The CDC’s new Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) declined to recommend COVID-19 shots for all Americans on Friday.

Back in June, The Gateway Pundit reported that RFK Jr. dismissed all 17 members of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), the federal body that shapes America’s vaccine policy.

Here are just a few names driving left-wing media into a tailspin:

During a tense two-day meeting that stretched into Friday, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) abandoned the broad “everyone 6 months and up” recommendation used in 2023–24 and 2024–25, opting for a risk-based, individual approach.

• If you’re 65+ or high-risk: FDA says you’re eligible this season; talk with your doctor about timing and benefits.

• If you’re lower-risk: There’s no blanket CDC recommendation this year; ACIP says the choice should be made with your clinician — not by default for all.

• No Rx needed: Despite some state/pharmacy confusion, ACIP voted against requiring prescriptions for COVID shots.

Far-left CNN reported:

Vaccine advisers to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention voted unanimously on Friday to shift away from a broad recommendation for Covid-19 vaccines to say that people who want one must consult with a health care provider, a process known as shared clinical decision-making.

However, the committee was split on whether to recommend that a prescription for a Covid-19 vaccine should be required. That vote was 6-6; Dr. Martin Kulldorff, the chair of the committee, voted no, which broke the tie.

The committee now says people 65 and older should make the decision about whether to get a Covid-19 vaccine with a doctor or another health care provider. It should be the same for people ages 6 months to 64 years, the vaccine advisers voted, but with “an emphasis that the risk-benefit of vaccination is most favorable for individuals who are at an increased risk for severe COVID-19 disease and lowest for individuals who are not at an increased risk, according to the CDC list of COVID-19 risk factors.”

The recommendations are not final; they go to Acting CDC Director Jim O’Neill for approval. O’Neill, a deputy of HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s, has led the agency since Dr. Susan Monarez was ousted abruptly last month.

The US Food and Drug Administration has already made significant changes to this season’s shots by limiting approval to adults 65 and older as well as younger people who are at higher risk of severe Covid-19.

Manufacturers themselves acknowledged these limits in late-August announcements.

In August, the Food and Drug Administration rescinded the Emergency Use Authorizations (EUAs) for the COVID-19 vaccines, the authorizations that were used to justify medical mandates, lockdowns, and mass coercion under Joe Biden’s failed regime.

The FDA has now granted standard marketing authorization, not emergency approval, for limited populations: Moderna (ages 6+ months), Pfizer (ages 5+), and Novavax (ages 12+). Americans may still access the vaccines if they wish, but only after consultation with their doctors.

Below are some of the highlights of the ACIP meeting:

A liberal parents’ group in Texas has been accused of doxxing high school students who were attempting to organize a Turning Point USA chapter at their school in the wake of founder Charlie Kirk’s assassination, according to Moms for Liberty.

The Harris County chapter of Moms for Liberty uncovered the actions of “Be the Change SBISD,” a group operating in the Spring Branch Independent School District.

The group allegedly published social media content from the students involved in forming the TPUSA “Club America” at Stafford High School, in an effort to prevent the club from holding meetings on campus.

The Moms for Liberty chapter posted screenshots on X, writing, “Stratford HS TEENS forming a TPUSA Club America were DOXXED by ADULTS sharing students’ internal GroupMe content in a ‘BE THE CHANGE’ private FB group, urging 730 members, operating in secrecy, to also intimidate teacher sponsors. REPREHENSIBLE. These are KIDS!”

Be the Change SBISD sent messages to its over 700 members, falsely claiming that Kirk’s recent murder stemmed from a rivalry with right wing podcaster Nick Fuentes. The group lied and said, “Given the famous founder having recently been murdered by an individual motivated by an interpersonal rivalry… it is very risky for students to bring that kind of potential inflammatory rivalry into school halls, especially with the rate of school shootings in the united states (sic).”

The organization encouraged members to send letters to the sponsoring teachers and students, labeling one sponsor as a “censorship advocate” and citing Kirk’s quotes as reasons why such speech should not be permitted on campus.

This incident comes amid a surge in TPUSA membership following Kirk’s assassination on September 10.

TPUSA spokesman Andrew Kolvet has estimated they have received 65,000 inquiries from students looking to form new chapters since Kirk’s death.
