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.

Anti Royalist sentiments. The msm is vociferously endorsing one of the family members and his wife, while for the last few years of the Duke’s and the Queens lives, that particular family member were expressing those sentiments for the world to hear and read for cash. To arrest anyone for expressing their own sentiments seems hypocritical
Trevor Sinclair should not lose his job, he should be given another go at apologising for his opinions.
Hmm. Not quite the pinnacle of sceptical thought.
I think Toby Young and Nick Dixon should listen to what they’ve said and maybe have another go themselves.
No matter how royalist you are, there is such a thing as overkill. We’ve still over 5 days of this compelled national woe to endure before HMQ’s funeral and it’s driving me nuts – and I was a fan of the Queen. I’m so glad I haven’t had an appointment cancelled, and it was a wrong move to do this.
It’s got so bad I’m actually starting to feel sorry for the Royals (unheard of!) This mawkish, overblown theatre of Britain in Gloom must grind their gears as well as some of ours. When Charles threw a tantrum over the leaky fountain-pen, I can only think it was symptomatic of the strain he’s under. OTOH, maybe he is just a prat, but I can’t imagine the Queen doing that. The enforced walking behind the coffin seems just cruel and now seems ingrained in the catalogue of What We Do.
I expect it’s all driven by a fear of being found wanting in respect, but I can’t bear cruelty, even when it’s being inflicted on people I don’t particularly like.
Well said.
Quite agree.
When talking about some of the tweets, e.g. from the professor at Carnegie Melon, the guys didn’t use the word obscene, although they maybe should’ve done. However what they didn’t say, and no one else has said, is that the burden placed on Charles and the other senior royals is nothing short of obscene. I’m not a moderate republican, and disagree with a lot of what certain royals (Charles and Harry in particular) have said in the recent and not so recent past. However I also see in them fellow human beings who have just experienced one of the worst things that could happen to anyone i.e. loosing a beloved member of their family. Surely they could’ve been allowed to grieve in private and not make a public appearance until the Queen’s funeral, after which Charles could’ve become King Charles III. Even the most ardent monarchist would have to admit that the country wouldn’t collapse into anarchy if we went for 2 weeks without an official head of state.
Something else that hasn’t been mentioned anywhere is the issue of virtue signalling, which the daily sceptic has rightly criticised in the past. Therefore I find it strange that they haven’t wondered how much of the public outpouring of grief over the Queen’s death can be explained by virtue signalling. I remember when Princess Diana died in 1997 and numerous commentators in the media were taken aback by the massive public show of grief. The term virtue signalling hadn’t been invented back then, so they talked about people doing what they felt they should do, and even wondered if it was a mild form of mass hysteria. It makes me wonder how many people queueing for 20+ hours to see the Queen’s coffin and/or travelling hundreds of miles to lay flowers in London are just doing what they think they should do, in other words virtue signalling.
On London Calling I am generally Team Toby but I may be moving towards the Delingpole view that Toby is a cuck on Liz Truss.
The nonsense from Truss about fracking “under the right circumstances” is just a mealy mouthed way of saying no while appearing to no longer be an opponent. Truss has enabled local councils to block fracking regardless of the national interest.
Truss’s energy subsidy might be a short-term political necessity but it would have been far better to have immediately suspended all net zero taxes, subsidies, mandates and associated regulations for a decade and then made net zero the focus of the next election.
Liz Truss clearly doesn’t grasp the enormity of the problem and isn’t up to the job of PM, we don’t have to wait for the results of the next election to see that Truss is the Kim Campbell of the UK Conservative Party. Campbell was briefly PM of Canada and led the Conservatives from a majority government to 2 seats after less than 100 days as PM.
It is hardly controversial being against the monarchy. Like every other institution, from Parliament, the Police, the Judiciary, the Clergy, they are all on board with the Great Reset.
The Queen was happy to meet Trudeau and therefore condone his action against the Canadian Truckers.
