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.

It’s all crap, and it has been since the beginning. Here’s a very simple piece of investigation I performed eleven years ago, in January 2013:

I’d just love to know what the downtick is about.
Care to stump up a fiver to enlighten little me, downticker?!
These are climate alarmists. And ofcourse their comments here would be welcome as it lets us see how absurd they are.
I do not understand why poorly sited stations are thought to have +\- errors.
All cases I have read about seem to have sited with causes of systematic error and none are negative. I have never heard of a station where there was persistent artificial cooling effects. The only errors I have read about are systematic bias upwards.
The East Park complex is a a glazed roof, which clearly acts as a greenhouse. Here is a view from underneath. No wonder alarmists refer to the greenhouse effect.
We are now about to enter into a Labour Government Green Cloud Cuckoo Land where we will all apparently get cheap clean energy. ——-Except where in the world is there a country with such a thing? Cheap clean energy means only one thing –wind and sun. So what country in the world has cheap wind and sun energy? —–The answer is NONE. The countries with the most wind, Germany and Denmark have the highest electricity prices. So why is the wind in the UK going to be cheap? It certainly isn’t so far. A quick look over our electricity bills since we started going daft for wind will reveal that.
The cretinous Green Goon Ed Miliband who gave us the Climate Change Act in 2008 and therefore all of this wind, surely cannot believe his luck that the Tories had an 80 seat majority and chucked it all away after infighting about a silly birthday cake and now he is going to have his grubby eco socialist hands on our energy supply. Although Boris and the fake Tories were heading down the same sort of Green fantasy land that panders to the UN and WEF Sustainable nonsense, it is Miliband and Labour that will really start to hammer us with this pretend to save the planet communism.
In order to get away with this tyranny you need a very plausible excuse and that excuse is Global warming (climate change). But what you find upon closer inspection of this issue is a smidgeon of the truth elevated into a planetary emergency, but with NO EVIDENCE. So because there is no evidence the climate establishment has resorted to calling failed models evidence instead. They think that if the present some output from a model and refer to it as “science” that the public who hate arguing or discussing science will just accept it and guess what—-they mostly do. So what you get is “warmest ever recorded” and “hottest ever” based on a temperature record that is s complete dogs breakfast of adjusted and manipulated data that if it was happening in any other walk of life the perpetrators would be arrested and charged with fraud.
——OK we are all sick of the fake Tories but if the UK public think life will be sweet under Labour and Miliband than I am sorry but please keep your electricity bills in a folder and see them skyrocket after the phony climate charlatans take over in July.
If we are going to have a Liebour Government with a mega-majority in the HoC, then the opposition has to come from outside on the streets every weekend. We should start next Saturday, BEFORE the election, across the country.
I’m all for that, the Palestine protesters can’t always have the streets to themselves. Though Muslims do seem to be good at dominating public spaces.
Except you would struggle to get everyone in your street to agree to something never mind the whole country. ——-We are about to get what we deserve—An eco socialist pretend to save the planet government that will have smart meters forced into every house to control the supply and cost via dynamic pricing, gas central heating ripped out, taxes on everything based on carbon footprint, priced out of going on holiday or eating eat and astronomical energy bills. If we thought the Green nonsense was bad under the Tories then we “ain’t seen nuthin yet”
As an activist with Reform Uk who are the only party to scrap Net Zero We in our constituency have struggled to get sufficient activists to run a half decent campaign. Can anyone who claims to be worried about rising costs complain yet couldn’t be arsed to get off their butts to help us.
Most will still vote for this parasite political class pandering to the UN and WEF—Traitors
I watched the weather on the news at lunchtime and again in the evening yesterday. The max temperature over the next few days was forecast as 28c at lunch. By the end of the day they’d whacked up their prediction to 31c. Someone obviously said 28c didn’t sound alarmist enough.
Top temp in East Sussex this week, 25c for two days, the back down to 19c to 21c for two weeks.
Forecast today for Milan 24c and Turin 23c
Yes that’s right, a reasonable summer’s day in Southern England.
The red on the weather maps means Communism.
However the Beeboids ( those addicted to the BBC) lap it all up and believe the nonsense. Not only that, but they are bringing their children up to fear our normal mild and temperate climate and then wonder why the children are too fearful to go out into the World.
We are lied to on a daily basis. It’s become quite amusing.
I find this terribly unamusing. The climate changers have gone full-scale COVID a while ago and trying to run their racket on endlessly repeated lies and headlines from perfectly random parts of the world where something happening to suite the narrative is happening. The original attempt was quite successful. I hope the rerun will end up rather less so. But I don’t think this can be taken for granted.
But they are getting away with it
Since they’re controlling the MSM, there’s nobody who could effectively challenge them in public. OTOH, insofar stuff like FB comments go, they’re – at least in Germany – getting nothing but scorn for their claims about breaking heat record after heat record while the temperatures in the real world are rather cool for the time of the year and the weather was mostly rainy so far.
Correct and we all realise that the MSM is just the propaganda department (Public Relations as it is called now) of the Climate Industrial Complex
Met Office monthly anomaly now running at minus 1.2C – the first below “average” month this year. No doubt this will be yet another “warm” month after a few days of sunny weather!
” This might surprise, of course, since the Met Office uses these figures to catastrophise recent increases in national and global temperatures, using measurements down to one hundredth of a degree centigrade”
No it doesn’t surprise, it is the logical conclusion of their mendacity.
How, how, how has every government agency become so corrupt? I feel like we are living through the looking glass. The people who work for the government seem to have no shame about this corruption and lunacy. It is becoming the norm. Nothing can be trusted. Nothing.
I think there is a case for leaving London out of weather forecasts. The large urban heat sink, concrete and tarmac, contributes to an exaggerated temperature.
London is shown with the highest temperature almost every day, even though it it false.
