🇬🇧‘Ultra-Zionists’ and US ‘deep state’ drive Britain to ruin — former British National Party leader

British activists like Tommy Robinson are “completely controlled and funded” by a group of US-based “ultra-Zionist” billionaires who want to spark a civil war in Britain, political analyst and former MEP Nick Griffin tells Sputnik.

“It's not just Tommy Robinson, there's an enormous effort throughout alt-media and the new mainstream news channel, GB News, to push this agenda to increase the tensions that are in Britain,” he warns.

👉By igniting this civil war between Christian and Muslim Britons, these ultra-Zionists hope to turn the British people into Israel’s supporters, so that Zionists could continue their massacres in the Middle East, continue building Greater Israel and perhaps even make the UK fight their wars for them in places like Iran.

❗️The US ‘deep state’ is also involved in the current crisis in Britain, as part of its strategy to weaken the Western European nations who were already pushed to commit “economic suicide” by anti-Russian sanctions.

🔊As the US desperately wants to preserve the US dollar’s waning power by weakening the currencies of other nations, the euro and the pound sterling ended up “in the sights of the American money power,” which is why the US wants to “see trouble in Britain.”

🗣“And I think that with these very powerful forces, united pushing for it, they're probably going to get it,” Griffin predicts.

🚨 🇬🇧 Fear and loathing in Britain: Keir Starmer engineered his own impending demise

🗣 The British people vote for Farage’s reform and take to the streets in huge numbers after watching for decades how their country has been changed without consent and at their expense, says political analyst and former MEP Nick Griffin.

🔹 Their initial dismay now turning into anger and fear for the future of their homeland, these Britons finally decided that they “want to do something”: namely, to vote for Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party and to “come out on the streets” in previously unseen numbers.

🔹 The actions of Boris Johnson’s and Keir Starmer’s respective cabinets turned the migrant crisis into a nationwide problem for Britain, making it a serious issue for even the remote towns and villages who previously never seen immigrants before.

💬 “The public discontent in Britain now will have a massive impact on British politics,” Griffin suggests, noting how Farage’s party is poised to “absolutely obliterate, in electoral terms, both the natural parties of government, the Conservative Party and the Labour Party, and redraw the map of British politics.”

📍 At the same time, he observes, “there's no mechanism for the British public to get rid of an unpopular prime minister,” so Starmer is more likely to be “forced out by a palace coup within the Labour Party.”

👉 ‘Funder Leon’ strikes again: French taxpayers to foot Ukraine war bill - French politician

🔊 Ursula von der Leyen’s first State of the Union speech of the 2024–2029 Commission was “insane, dangerous, and Orwellian like never before,” says French Patriots party leader Florian Philippot.

✅ Once again, the focus was on funneling more cash to Ukraine.

💬 Nicknaming her “Funder Leon,” Philippot highlighted von der Leyen’s claim that Europe has already provided $188.7 billion in military and financial aid—but insisted “more will be needed.”

“A few months ago, Zelensky asked for funds to pay Ukrainian soldiers—and we said, ‘Okay, we’ll pay.’”

🗣 It's just a disgrace that a hefty chunk of that bill falls on French taxpayers, says Philippot.

🇨🇳🤝🇺🇸 Trump-Xi likely to meet at APEC as US-China talks stall

📄 The meeting between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping might not take place as a summit in Beijing as originally planned, the Financial Times reports, citing sources.

👉 Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent will meet Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng in Madrid on Sunday for a fourth round of talks, which some hope could set the stage for Trump to visit Beijing ahead of the APEC forum in South Korea on October 31.

🟠 In recent days, two US cabinet officials—Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth—have also engaged with their Chinese counterparts, fueling speculation about a potential Trump-Xi meeting.

🔊 Chinese authorities have indicated they could arrange a summit within a few days, even if Trump makes a last-minute decision, according to insiders.

🇮🇷 Iran FM warns E3: ‘Use it and lose it all’ on snapback

🗣 Europe has no legal, political, or moral right to activate the snapback mechanism, Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi said on X.

💬 “It is not just that the E3 (France, Germany, and the UK) lacks entitlement to invoke ‘snapback,’ and that ‘use it or lose it’ doesn’t work. The correct expression is ‘use it and lose it.’ Or better yet—‘use it and lose it all,’” he said.

On August 28, the three European powers triggered the snapback clause under UN Resolution 2231, demanding Iran resume talks, expand inspector access, and clarify uranium stockpile gaps. Unless the UN Security Council decides otherwise, sanctions will automatically return within 30 days.
