How the Global Elites are setting us up for endless civil strife. The current incumbent of 10 Downing Street, Rishi Sunak, addressed the nation on the day after a by-election result that humiliated the establishment parties. Before the Rochdale by-election, Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour Party seemed poised to win a thumping majority at the next

Shifting Narratives at the Crossroads of Civilisation
