For years, I warned British #Europhiles to lower their hopes: the #UK is untrusted in Europe. Now that mistrust has a pricetag.

Brussels knows that #Farage is set to win in 2029.

So the #EU demands that a future British government #ukgov pay up if they quit a post-#Brexit “reset” deal with #Starmer. The clause states that if either side pulls out, it must pay compensation that would include the costs of setting up the renewed border controls.

”We have embedded a…US military surveillance company whose founder is a close ally of…Trump into the heart of our military at a moment in which the US is threatening to invade our NATO ally, Greenland. … The level of understanding in UK politics and media about Silicon Valley’s alliance with Trump and the geopolitical and security consequences of this appears to be non-existent.”

Here’s what The Counteroffensive is reading today:

The UK now has confirmed a legal basis for the #UK military to forcibly board and detain shadow fleet vessels, #BBC reports.

This follows British troops assisting the U.S. in forcibly boarding a Russian shadow fleet tanker. bbc.com/news/articles/cy8pn7jg…

You'd think by now that Johnson would have the sense to back away from #Trump, the Serial Rapist and Serial Paedophile, but apparently not.

Also, Ditto, Daily Mail.

I've got an odd request.

Does anyone have any idea how to get from Australia to the UK, without flying?

My in-laws are currently stuck on the east coast of Australia. One of them got very sick on a cruise. And long story short. They have been told they cannot fly ever again. It's too risky for what has happened, they're in the ICU - recovering, feeling better, but cannot fly ever again.

Hubs might have to go over there for a couple of months to help them out (his studio has a studio in the city they are in. This is the easy part).

They are looking at getting on another cruise ship, but the next one is in March, and if they miss that. They're stuck there even longer.

So, I am making a request to see if anyone knows if there is any other possible way to get them back to the UK without using planes.

The in-laws are in their late 70s, so there may be some limitations (they are obviously not going to be fit to help out on a catamaran or something).

Please share!

On Saturday, January 10, 2026, a large gathering of Iranians in the UK assembled in support of nationwide protests in front of the Islamic Republic Embassy in London.

During this gathering, one of the citizens pulled down the Islamic Republic flag from the embassy and replaced it with the Iranian flag.

Tom Tugendhat, a member of the British Parliament and former security minister, stated during a speech in the House of Commons that according to British intelligence sources, "Russian cargo planes are landing in Tehran and carrying large batches of gold out of Iran”.

[P] The thing about typies is how easily "fitting in" becomes a hatred for anyone not of their group-self. Typies don't have a self, per se, only a group-self. And the more outside of that group-self one is, the more that group-self will hate them for it. The neueodivergent approach to "stopping" small boats is safe and legal avenues of asylum. The neurotyoical way of stopping small boats is to shoot the boats—sink 'em all.

El fuerte Darnet, en el río Medway, fue una de las defensas del Astillero Real de Chatham, donde se construían barcos de la Royal Navy. En su construcción entre 1870-1872, se planeaba que tuviera una cadena conectada con el fuerte Hoo. A pesar de todo, fue decomisionado antes de la Primera Guerra Mundial. 📷Savills #fortress #fortaleza #reinounido #unitedkingdom #uk


New year, no reset.

A short essay on continuation, constraint, and why ‘fresh starts’ don’t work for everyone.

‘For me, and for many, the work is not in beginning again but in continuing. Continuation is far less aesthetic than renewal, harder to commodify, and it doesn't lend itself well to announcements, before and after photos, or public commitments. But it is honest.’

In all den zuletzt - aus Gründen - (viel zu) langen segellosen Jahren haben mir die Videos von Leo von der #TallyHo mit ihren großartigen Bildern, Eindrücken und Stimmungen immer wieder geholfen, den Wind und das Holz nicht ganz zu vergessen. Ob in den ersten sieben Jahren des #Rebuild:s des 1910 erbauten #Segelschiff, oder beim Launch und Segeln zuletzt. Danke Leo + Crew @ sampsonboat Co.! BTW auch ein großartiges Community-Spenden-Projekt. Gespannt auf die weitere Passage nach #UK und dann in 2027 (toctoctoc) die Teilnahme am #FastnetRace2027 #Woodenboat #MehrMeer

"A #DDay #veteran awarded a #British Empire Medal has said #Britain today is "disappointing" and warned the country risks repeating mistakes made before the #SecondWorldWar.

Mervyn Kersh, 101, from #Cockfosters, north #London, said being honoured for his school talks on #Holocaust remembrance and his wartime service is a "wonderful thing."

Mr Kersh likened the honour to being awarded the #Legiondhonneur - #France's highest military award - but said it was significant to be recognised by his own country.

He told the #PressAssociation that efforts to speak about the Holocaust "not always work", telling of his concerns about rising #antisemitism in the #UK."

Mr Kersh said he believes his service during the Second World War "was worth it", but added: "It's disappointing what's turned out now."

He went on: "What's disappointing is the antisemitism that I see everywhere, hear everywhere, or read."

UK Proposes 24/7 Phone Surveillance & VPN Age Verification

techlore.tech/uk-proposes-24-7…

> The UK just proposed three extreme surveillance measures: mandatory 24/7 scanning software on every phone and tablet, age verification for all VPN users with website tracking, and labeling encryption developers as "hostile actors." This comes after 500,000 people petitioned against age verification, and lawmakers responded by making things

The distance between #Dublin and #London is only 464 km (288 miles), #asthecrowflies. The two capital cities are in a Common Travel Area.

But as #GretaThunberg showed today, it's about a million miles in politics.

In Dublin, #PresidentConnolly regards the #genocide in #Gaza as a horror. But in London, the #CityOfLondonPolice treat opposition to genocide as #Terrorism. So #Greta went from a presidential welcome in #Ireland to arrest in #England / #UK.

The #UK has scrapped plans to use £8bn in frozen Russian assets to aid Ukraine, refusing to act without the EU.

This comes after the #EU scrapped plans to use frozen Russin assets to back a #Ukraine loan. However, the EU will lend Kyiv €90bn via its shared budget.

UK UNEMPLOYMENT RISES

Redundancies surged to the highest level since the Covid lockdowns, official figures show, as Britain’s jobs market deteriorated in the face of Budget uncertainty.

There were 156,000 redundancies in the three months to October, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said, which was the highest since February 2021.
