New Premier flip-flopping on the issue, accused of throwing his Justice Secretary ‘under the bus’.

In Britain, we’ve come to the point where ‘all the top police officers in the country’ are calling for constable Andrew Harper’s killers to stay behind bars.

In the meantime, Prime Minister Andy Burnham is under heavy criticism for appearing to every day have a different opinion on this issue.

The Telegraph reported:

“Every police chief in the UK has signed an unprecedented joint letter demanding Andy Burnham do everything possible to stop the early release of PC Andrew Harper’s killers.

In a joint letter, 50 chief constables united to tell the Prime Minister to examine ‘every lawful option’ to ensure Albert Bowers and Jessie Cole serve their full sentences.”

“Earlier on Tuesday, the Prime Minister said he was ‘increasingly confident’ that he could stop Cole and Bowers walking free early after changing his position on the releases several times.

However, sources at the Ministry of Justice accused the Prime Minister of throwing Alex Norris, the Justice Secretary, ‘under the bus’ by ordering him to examine how the releases could be blocked.”

I understand the depth of public concern about the potential early release of those involved with the killing of PC Andrew Harper – and I share it.

I fully appreciate the anguish of Andrew’s family and, more broadly, of all those victims and their families who may see those who…

Washington Post hacks Dan Lamothe, John Hudson, Andrew Ba Tran, and Joyce Sohyun Lee published an article on Monday, August 9th, tipping off America’s enemies on the secret travel maneuvers used to keep Presiden Donald Trump safe following a credible assassination threat by Iran.

Dan, John, Andrew and Joyce were very proud of their work exposing the president’s escape route in case he is ever in an emergency.

What the hell were they thinking?

The Trump administration received a credible threat while he was traveling to Europe last week that the Iranians were targeting his plane. So the president was secretly shuttled in a catering truck after escaping the plane before he took off.

The Washington Post reported that Trump’s actual location was hidden from the US public for hours.

And?… So they are going after Trump over his safety concerns?

You really can’t hate the mainstream media enough.

Leave it to crazy CNN to give this asshat a microphone.

Via Karli Bonne.

Cristina Laila reported on this sinister WaPo piece on Monday.

President Trump took a secret flight from Turkey to the UK on an alternate military aircraft on July 8 after he was quietly moved from Air Force One due to an Iranian threat.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Trump announced that the Air Force One jet he flew to Ankara, Turkey, for the NATO summit last month would be visiting a US base in the UK. He went on to fly on a different Air Force One plane when departing from Turkey, prompting speculation of security concerns.

Trump had told reporters numerous times during the NATO summit that Iran is plotting to assassinate him and that he’s “number one” on their kill list, but he shrugged off security concerns when asked if that’s the reason why the new Air Force One plane was rerouted.

After flying out of Turkey and across the Middle East on the old jet, Trump boarded his newer luxury plane, donated to the US by Qatar, at Mildenhall Air Force Base in the UK. Trump was then pressed again about security concerns and why reporters had been directed to keep their window shades down while flying from Turkey to the UK, and he said, “I’m number one on their list before you, but if I go, you go.”

According to a leak to The Washington Post, Air Force One was used as a ‘decoy’ while President Trump flew on a smaller C-2A plane. Pool reporters thought they were flying with President Trump from Turkey to the UK.

EXCLUSIVE: An Iranian assassination threat against President Trump prompted an extraordinary operation last month in which he flew secretly from Turkey on an alternate military aircraft while the White House said he was aboard Air Force One, The Washington Post has learned.

However, President Trump was quietly moved from Air Force One to the smaller plane by jumping into an airport catering truck.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Tuesday claimed she didn’t know that Joe Biden was mentally declining until she saw his June 2024 debate performance.

“You see, when I was Speaker, I saw the president all the time, but when I wasn’t then I saw him maybe 3 times that whole year and so I didn’t know, and I think he had his sort of ups and downs,” Pelosi said on Tuesday at Politico’s The California Agenda: Sacramento Summit.

But I do think those who did know should have acted upon that information…whoever knew,” Pelosi said.

Pelosi took a veiled shot at Jill Biden.

“There was staff saying the family knew. The family said the staff,” Pelosi said without mentioning Dr. Jill’s name.

Pelosi said that she learned about Biden’s mental decline during the June 2024 debate against Trump.

“When you think of the debate and how sad that was, that’s really when we learned,” Pelosi said.

WATCH:

Earlier this year, Dr. Jill laughed about covering for Joe Biden’s cognitive decline during and interview on the TODAY show.

The former First Lady also insisted that Joe Biden could have beaten Trump if he stayed in the race.

“I believe he would have beat Donald Trump in that election,” Jill Biden said.

“Had [Biden] been elected again, would he be able to serve as President?” MS NOW host Jonathan Lemire asked Dr. Jill.

“I don’t know the answer to that,” Jill Biden said.

In a separate interview with CBS Mornings, Jill Biden brushed off Joe Biden’s cognitive decline and said he was just aging.

“Oh, he was definitely aging; I mean, we were all aging,” Jill Biden told host Rita Braver. “So, yes, he was slowing down.”

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the radical socialist from New York’s 14th District and face of the Squad, has quietly split from her longtime fiancé Riley Roberts, according to multiple reports.

TMZ reported the breakup Tuesday, citing Puck’s Chief Washington Correspondent Leigh Ann Caldwell, who first learned from a Democratic source about 18 months ago that the engagement was over.

Multiple Capitol Hill sources told TMZ the pair have not been seen together publicly in ages. Their last known public photograph together was at the 2021 Met Gala, the same event where AOC wore her infamous “Tax the Rich” dress and where she claimed Roberts as her “spouse” to score him a free ticket.

Just days earlier, the 36-year-old Bronx-Queens Democrat publicly announced she was freezing her eggs, filming herself injecting fertility drugs and declaring she wanted to feel “more in control of my life.”

When a reporter asked if her “fiancé” was supportive, she carefully avoided the word and replied only that “all of my loved ones have been very supportive.”

More from New York Post:

The Bronx and Queens rep referred to him as a “spouse” for that junket so the two could have some food and lodging expenses covered as gifts.

They also appeared together at the coveted Met Gala — where she sported her infamous “Tax the Rich” dress, which garnered significant scrutiny from the House Ethics Committee in a report issued last year. Roberts scored a free ticket to the $35,000-per-person Big Apple event because he was considered her “spouse.”

“The Committee ‘takes very seriously its obligation to provide sound and dispassionate advice to the Members of this House’’ and would have informed Representative Ocasio-Cortez and her counsel that Mr. Roberts did not fit the definition of a ‘spouse’ for purposes of the Charitable Events Exception,” the report stated.

Ethics investigators noted that even as Roberts was claimed as a “spouse” to accept gifts and privately sponsored travel, the fiancé was not forced to disclose his financial interests to the House “as is required of Members who are legally married.”

[…]

Some conservative critics speculated that Ocasio-Cortez was holding off on a wedding to avoid scrutiny over Roberts’ finances, as it would be subject to House disclosures after marriage.

President Trump endorsed Darline Graham last month:

It was my Honor to welcome now Senator Darline Graham Nordone (The sister of the Late, Great Lindsey Graham!), from the Wonderful State of South Carolina, into the Oval Office.

We have known each other for a long time — She is a spectacular person, and a true American Patriot. Lindsey was one of the greatest people and Senators I have ever known, and his sister shares his deep love of our Country, and the State of South Carolina.

During her visit, I asked Darline, for the Good of our Nation, to run for the U.S. Senate in the Special Republican Primary on Tuesday, August 11, 2026. I hope Darline does this, in that there would be nobody better to honor the legacy of her beloved brother, Lindsey.

Darline, who comes from an absolutely incredible family, has been a WINNER all of her life and, should she accept, has my Complete and Total Endorsement in the Special Election for U.S. Senate in South Carolina — SHE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN. RUN, DARLINE, RUN! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Lindsey Graham died last month after a brief, sudden illness.

The South Carolina Senator just turned 71 on July 9.

“The preliminary examination findings were: Aortic Dissection due to Arteriosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease,” Graham’s office said, according to the medical examiner.
