Keir Starmer did everything he could to be US poodle and his strategy has ended in total humiliation. Both him and Farage are puppets of a hostile foreign nation.
It's obvious that if someone is a bully - you don't just keep appeasing them.
Disastrous strategy by Labour.

Why do ICE agents carry guns?
Not one single report of them being shot at!!
Not one single story about apprehending anyone with a gun!!
Take the weapons away from the untrained, unrestrained, incompetent agents. Do it for public safety.

Pritzker: The Insurrection Act is designed for circumstances where your rights can’t be protected by local authorities
This is exactly the opposite.
Your civil rights are being infringed upon by CBP and ICE, and then they want to call in troops claiming that they’re protecting CBP and ICE.
