There are few certainties about what will happen in 2025. One is that, under Starmer, Reeves and Miliband, the U.K. economy will go into a vicious spiral of recession whereby more taxes lead to a fall in GDP and higher unemployment, which lead to increased Government spending, which leads to further tax rises, and so on. Meanwhile, across the Atlantic in the USA, under Trump there will be massive economic growth as he slashes the cost of energy to make U.S. businesses more competitive by encouraging more oil and gas production.
So, given the clearly diverging paths the U.K. and U.S. economies will take, how will the British media react? I’ll tell you how – by sneering and criticising everything Trump says and does and by hugely exaggerating any problems Trump faces.
I did a quick search on YouTube to find all the torrent of videos released by Times Radio in just the three days leading up to the November 2024 U.S. presidential vote. In spite of the fact that the opinion polls claimed to show a dead heat between Trump and Kamala Harris, here are the titles of the Times Radio‘s three days of videos:
- Trump will lose the election by 5%
- Trump loses voters
- Trump in worst state ever
- How Trump alienated swing voters
- Trump will lose these key states, exclusive poll shows
- Democrats optimistic that polls put them ahead of Trump
- Why Trump will lose
- Trump veers off script with clumsy comments in Pennsylvania
- Trump has alienated swing state voters with Madison Square Garden rally hate speech
- Trump limps to finish line in disastrous final week
- Trump in trouble. Trump loses election momentum
- Millions of “angry and motivated” Americans will be final nail in Trump’s coffin
- Trump’s huge mistake
- Republicans turn on Trump paving way for a crushing defeat
- Trump spiralling: “unprecedented” numbers of Republicans are turning on Trump
- Trump’s overconfidence will cost him the election
- Trump is “a nasty individual” and a threat to the world
- Trump HQ terrified
And every one of these Times Radio videos featured one or more Trump haters being interviewed, venting their bulging-eyed loathing of Trump and anyone ‘stupid enough’ to vote for him. In its main article about the U.S. election on election day, the Times newspaper was still attacking Trump by calling him “a twice impeached convicted felon” while making no mention of the fact that the impeachments were based on total nonsense and the supposed “felonies” were only achieved by Democrat judges stretching their interpretation of U.S. law well past breaking point.
How about Times Radio’s reporting on Trump for the last few days? Well, here are some of the latest Times Radio anti-Trump attacks:
- ‘Trump’s New Problem – Trump dealt stark reminder that Isis can “hit America on American soil“‘ – perhaps Times Radio has forgotten that the current U.S. President is supposedly Joe Biden, not Donald Trump?
- ‘Tension brews between Putin and Trump over Ukraine war deal’ – if the U.S. wants to end the Ukraine war, of course there will be friction between the U.S. and the warring parties
- ‘Trump’s tariffs are “recipe for economic decline”‘ – actually, Times Radio, I hate to disagree with you and inform you that the U.S. economy is about to flourish under Trump while the U.K. economy falls into an ever deepening recession
- ‘”Let Trump destroy himself”: Democrats handle defeat after Biden sabotaged Harris‘ – here Times Radio is already attacking Trump and predicting he will be a failure while making excuses for the Democrats’ defeat
- ‘Trump “chaos” will be a repeat of his 2020 downfall’ – and here’s another sneering prediction of Trump failing while no mention is made of the constant attempts by the lying Democrats to impeach and destroy Trump’s first term as President with the Russia collusion hoax
Trump supporter, Elon Musk, also figures in Times Radio‘s increasingly unhinged anti-Trump attacks:
- ‘Musk and Trump: “Malignant narcissists” after mutual gain’
- ‘Elon Musk drives Trump towards “war” with Europe‘
- ‘Elon Musk is an “embarrassment” to Trump‘
- Though perhaps one of the most ludicrous put-downs launched at Trump is when Times Radio somehow manages to bring in Meghan Markle with a video titled ‘Meghan enters her “Trump era” with new trad wife Netflix show’
Hopefully you get the picture by now. The Times is (was) supposed to be a reliable news organisation. But the supposed ‘journalists’ at the Times and Times Radio seem to have become mouth-frothing Trump- and Musk-haters and enthusiastic propagandists for the failed Democrats.
So, get ready for four years of foam-flecked, anti-Trump sneering and fury from most of the British media. And the more successful Trump is at growing the U.S. economy, while the U.K. economy goes from bad to worse to utter disaster, the more unhinged and deranged the sneering and fury towards Trump will be.
That’s my first prediction for 2025.

Nothing to discuss here, IPSO whatever the Feck it is, has just rendered itself irrelevant, ridiculous and not fit for purpose – get rid!
It’s an important issue. If you want to remain ignorant about it, then don’t read it, and allow the rest of us the choice of whether to remain ignorant about it or not.
“important”….go on…
What’s “important”is that we are being lead in to WW3 intentionally…
What’s also “important” is the relentless assault on free speech.
There’s no life rule saying one can only find one thing at a time important.
This article is more about “gender identity” than free speech
If it wasn’t for “a man who claims to be a woman”.. This article wouldn’t even exist…
No one was saying there was…………
Ignorant about “gender identity” are you having a laugh..
It’s been rammed down our throats on a daily basis for the past 25 years…. Not sure about you, but I’m done with the bs… You keep giving it attention if you want, but that won’t achieve anything at all….
“ignorant”…..blimey..
Not ignorant about “gender identity”, ignorant about the IPSO ruling. Nobody is forcing you to know anything about IPSO if you don’t want to know.
If the Spectator prints the ruling on its website stating that indeed Mr Dawson is a woman, will it be guilty of misinformation? After all, as Michael Grove says: “Dawson may have a gender recognition certificate but no piece of paper, whatever it may say, can alter biological reality. Parliament may pass laws, but they cannot abolish Dawson’s Y chromosome.”
It does get very confusing.
I agree. It’s DS clickbait. The press doesn’t matter anymore. We get balance from within the Network Society
the Phrase “A Man Who Claims to Be a Woman” is Discriminatory
It’s an interesting idea that speaking or writing a phrase that corresponds to reality constitutes “discrimination”. But what do the Clown-Wolders really mean by “discrimination” in a case like this? What they mean is that some people still insist on noticing reality, and that that must not be allowed. Thus we’ve reached the stage where speaking the truth is heresy.
Indeed…..right think, is the only think.
Nothing new. Once upon a time you could have lost your life for stating that you don’t see any evidence of the existence of a God.
We just haven’t evolved as much as we think we have.
If journalists are not allowed to say that Juno Dawson is “a man who claims to be a woman”, then they should say that Juno Dawson is “a man who claims to be a trans woman”, which cannot be proved to be inaccurate, as it is literally impossible to distinguish a trans woman from a man pretending to be a trans woman.
How about they just ignore it …
Not everyone has your “Close your eyes and it might go away” attitude.
“Trans woman” is gibberish.
What would a trans goldfish or trans tulip be?
Nevertheless it’s a reality that some men claim to be trans women.
War Is Peace.
Freedom Is Slavery.
Ignorance Is Strength.
Truth is Thoughtcrime.
What will such types do, when it becomes completely obvious, that all those self same types lied about the Covid Vaccinations.
If saying “a man who claims to be a woman” is discriminatory, what should one say to describe a man who claims to be a woman?
Exceĺlent question but easily answered: it’s “a man-without-a-certificate-from-the-state that claims he’s a woman.”
Telling the Truth Now a Crime
Both parents onboard with ‘transing’ their 18 month old son who now thinks he’s a girl called ‘Violet’. WTAF?
Child abuse takes many forms and this is just one. Take that child off these terrible parents!

I wonder how many Britons are suddenly realising they live in a totalitarian state in which something called a “Press Watchdog” has the power and authority to dictate what can and cannot be said.
So…. If I put on black makeup and claim to be black, would a journalist be found guilty of discrimination if they described me as a “white person who claims to be black”?

It doesnt matter how rarified and abstracted a culture becomes. In the end the body is still the final arbiter. You will learn that in the horror to come. Imposture won’t help pretence won’t help. You will either have the spunk or you won’t. Keep your nutsack full as a bulwark against the coming attack. No cheeky little wanks. If you feel the strain is too much then grip the base of your penis and give two squeezes. After a few weeks the desire will disappear completely.
Has anyone read any of Juno Dawson’s works? Would the phrase “a man who claims to be an author” be ok?
It isn’t rocket science. Why do you think that all the nasty major corporations of this world are pushing this agenda? Do you think it is because they care about minority groups? And so why are they actually pushing it. It is just to make you feel itchy and irked in certain places whilst they carry your possessions off. Either you tune into the real game or you don’t. We live in merciless times you can’t afford to be all over the place and stupid.
It is very easy to become a fuckwit, especially in our time. How about the spirit that rebals against becoming a fuckwit. I mean a genuine impulse to avoid that fate.
Membership of IPSO is not compulsory. Spectator should leave and like Guardian, Evening Standard, Financial Times be free of it.
The phrase ‘ you are factually correct but not politically correct’ originally came from Stalin’s Russia
Shame Gove didn’t push to get the “gender” lies and nonsense scrapped when he was in a position to do it.
