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.
Kemi Badenoch welcomed the winter fuel payment U-turn, insisting it should have happened sooner. Speaking on Monday, the Conservative party leader said: "I'm glad the government has finally done this but what took them so long? I asked Keir Starmer six times at the despatch box at PMQ's why he was doing this and that he needed to reverse it."

Kemi Badenoch has criticised the nationalisaton of rail services by the government. The Conservative party leader said: "This is yet another example of the unseriousness of the Labour party who do not have a plan. We need to get Britain growing again, that means investing in business and not nationalising it." Report by Kennedyl.

Kemi Badenoch says it is a "joke" to say that Sir Keir Starmer's partial U-turn on winter fuel payments is a reaction to the economy improving. The Conservative leader also says she would like to see a change that means pensioners who earn “£11,000 to £15,000 a year getting winter fuel payments”. Report by Blairm.

California Governor Gavin Newsom unloaded on President Donald Trump Sunday amid violent protests in Los Angeles ... accusing the commander-in-chief of being a.. TMZ.com
As protests over immigration raids spiral out of control, U.S President Donald Trump has sent 2,000 National Guard troops into California — but is it even legal?
Governor Gavin Newsom says no, calling it a "serious breach of state sovereignty." Legal experts are divided, citing the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, which prohibits military involvement in civilian law enforcement.
Trump invoked Title 10, Section 12406 — but critics argue he’s exploiting rebellion laws to justify a power grab.

California Governor Gavin Newsom announced a lawsuit against Donald Trump over the federalization of the California National Guard without state consent, calling it “illegal, immoral, and unconstitutional.” Newsom accused Trump of igniting and escalating Los Angeles unrest, labeling him a “dictator” and slamming federal overreach as a “blatant power grab.” He vowed to fight Trump’s unilateral intervention in court. In a fiery response to threats of arrest by federal officials, Newsom declared, “Arrest me. Let’s go.” The legal battle begins Monday.
