Badenoch says failing to spend more on defence 'is not peacekeeping, it is weakness'
Monday, 17 February 2025 Kemi Badenoch has said failing to spend more on defence "is not peacemaking, it is weakness" as Sir Keir Starmer and other European leaders face pressure from Donald Trump to increase NATO contributions.
Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch accuses Labour of “chasing Reform”, saying “they want to sound like they’re strong on migration". Her comments come as the government introduces new measures to deny asylum seekers the right the stay in the UK if convicted of committing sexual offences. Report by Ajagbef.

Kemi Badenoch, whose party currently holds around half the seats up for election on Thursday, acknowledges that the local elections present her with a challenge.

Kemi Badenoch calls for prosecution of the rap trio Kneecap after a member of the group allegedly called for the death of Tory MPs. Video emerged of the group at a November 2023 gig appearing to show one member saying: "The only good Tory is a dead Tory. Kill your local MP." The Conservative leader accuses Kneecap of being "anti-British” and says, “they should be prosecuted”. Report by Blairm.

Sir Keir Starmer says talks on a potential ceasefire in Ukraine are "not at the end of the process" and any ceasefire has “got to be lasting, because I don’t trust Putin”. Asked about the suggestion the US could recognise Russia's annexation of Crimea; the prime minister tells broadcasters: "Ultimately that is a matter for the Ukrainians”. Report by Blairm.

Sir Keir Starmer says he does not want to see industrial action over public sector pay, saying “I don’t think anybody wants to see strikes”. The prime minister is keen to talk about the different approach between his government and the last Conservative administration saying, “we’ve got our doctors and nurses on the frontline providing care, rather than on the picket line”.

In a revealing interview with The Atlantic, U.S. President Donald Trump claimed he’s now “running the world” and is enjoying his second term far more than his first. He described his current leadership role as “fun,” despite calling it “serious stuff.” Trump also addressed past remarks about a potential third term, brushing them off as unlikely. His comments—while dramatic—spark new debates about power, global influence, and political ambition as the Trump era continues to stir global headlines.

Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev claims that Western European leaders are waging a “quiet war” against former President Trump. He suggests that ideological conflicts, particularly over tariffs and NATO disagreements, are driving a wedge between the U.S. and Europe. Medvedev predicts that despite Europe’s large economy, the U.S. will emerge victorious due to its superior economic and military strength. He also highlighted the growing divide between Europe's neo-globalist forces and Trump’s conservative, traditionalist movement, which is paving the way for a potential reconciliation with Russia.

Chinese scientists have unveiled a powerful quantum sensor that could tip the balance in undersea warfare. Tested offshore, the drone-mounted system achieves picotesla-level precision, tracking submarines and mapping seabed resources with unprecedented accuracy. The breakthrough overcomes limitations of traditional magnetometers, offering omnidirectional detection even in low-latitude blind zones like the South China Sea. Using coherent population trapping in rubidium atoms, the new Chinese sensor rivals NATO’s MAD-XR at a fraction of the cost, potentially reshaping anti-submarine operations across key strategic waters.

A confidential U.S. peace proposal to end the Ukraine war was secretly presented by envoy Steve Witkoff to European officials in Paris on April 17, 2025. The leaked plan includes a permanent ceasefire, Ukraine’s NATO exit, U.S. recognition of Crimea as Russian territory, and economic benefits for both Kyiv and Moscow. Ukraine would regain limited territory and receive financial aid, while Russia would benefit from lifted sanctions. The plan, labeled Washington’s “final offer,” signals a dramatic shift in U.S. diplomacy. Both Russia and Ukraine have yet to issue formal responses.
