‘Preposterous abandonment': Douglas Murray blasts lefty MPs for defending illegals
Author Douglas Murray says members of parliament in Britain are meant to 'represent' the people of their constituency rather than the people of the world. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has warned his cabinet that more anti-illegal migration protests lie ahead if social cohesion isn't mended, as his government struggles with an influx of illegal migrants crossing the English Channel. 'They are not meant to be the defence team for everybody entering the country illegally,' Mr Murray told Sky News host Rita Panahi. 'It's just the most preposterous abandonment of their roles and of their duties.'

Douglas Murray praises Trump for pulling out of UNESCO
Author Douglas Murray has chimed in on the Trump administration's decision to pull the United States out of the UN cultural agency UNESCO. A US spokesperson has cited the UN's anti-American and anti-Israel leanings as the reason for departing. Mr Murray claims bodies such as UNESCO, UNRWA and the UN Human Rights Council do not represent or further the interests of the American taxpayer. 'Why exactly should the American taxpayer be funding them?' he said.

Douglas Murray hits out at Starmer government for ‘politicking' on illegal immigration
Author Douglas Murray says the Starmer government's supposed crackdown on the illegal immigration crisis is 'very unlikely to succeed'. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has warned his cabinet that more anti-illegal migration protests lie ahead if social cohesion isn't mended, as his government struggles with an influx of illegal migrants crossing the English Channel. 'The obsession that the government has with smashing the gangs – it's very typical politicking,' Mr Murray told Sky News host Rita Panahi. 'The problem is that the government wants to put no onus on the people who knowingly are illegally entering the UK.'

Douglas Murray slams UK Labour's move to lower voting age
Author Douglas Murray has slammed a move by the Starmer government to lower the voting age in Great Britain to 16. 'The Labour Party is doing this for two reasons; one is that they think the optics of it will make them more attractive to younger voters and secondly, they assume that younger voters are going to be in their favour,' Mr Murray told Sky News host Rita Panahi. 'That's not necessarily the case; there is some very interesting data showing, for instance, that younger voters, disproportionately by population, were likely to vote for Reform UK. 'If you are not deemed to be of an age to buy cigarettes, to buy alcohol, to be able to marry, then why should you have the vote?'
