The Trump Pump That Didn’t Pump by Sarnia de la Maré for Politica UK. Markets plunged today as Bitcoin continued its breathtaking descent from the dizzy heights of October, a fall experts are calling ‘predictable,’ ‘inevitable,’ and ‘surprisingly still not the bottom. That's right, Bitcoin — the world’s most famous imaginary rock — has plummeted again. And somewhere in Florida, the President of the USA is insisting it’s all going exactly to plan. Because if you’ve forgotten, back in October, Donald Trump — Master of the Market, Keeper of the Golf Cart Keys, and part-time crypto visionary — declared his love for Bitcoin. A ringing endorsement! A Midas touch! A sign of imminent prosperity! Trump blessed this imaginary currency with his royal orange aura — behind its poker face, it fell faster than his legal defence funds. He promised Bitcoin would rise. Bitcoin did not rise. Bitcoin fell over, rolled down a hill, and is currently lying in a ditch asking if anyone has a spare charg...

Government Considers “Danish-Style” Immigration Policy, Mainly Because They’ve Run Out of Their Own Ideas In yet another episode of Britain Looks Over the Fence , the UK government has announced it is “seriously considering” adopting Denmark-style immigration legislation — a statement that, according to insiders, means “we saw a headline about Denmark and thought: ooh, that sounds firm.” Officials say the plan is to “take inspiration” from Denmark’s approach, despite not being entirely clear on what Denmark’s approach actually is, how it works, or whether it would accidentally create more problems than it solves. A Home Office source said: “The Danes seem organised, and frankly we’re a bit tired. If someone else has a functioning policy, why not borrow it wholesale and hope nobody notices?” What This Actually Means (According to Experts Who Know Things) The Denmark model inv...

Donald Trump vs the BBC: The Billionaire Who Wants Your Licence Fee There are certain headlines that make Britain collectively choke on its tea. “Donald Trump threatens to sue the BBC” is one of them. Not because the idea of Trump threatening legal action is shocking — he’s sued (or threatened to sue) everything from entire newspapers to comedy shows to, reportedly, a small Welsh farmer (long story). No, the real eyebrow-raiser is the unintended punchline: If Trump sues the BBC… UK licence fee payers could, in theory, end up footing the bill. Yes. You. Me. Your nan in Worthing who only wants to watch Strictly . All of us. Potentially paying the world’s richest political performer for the privilege of him being offended. The Irony Is Almost Too On-the-Nose The BBC is not a private corporation lounging on Scrooge McDuck vaults. It’s a public service broadcaster with a funding model that is, famously, unpopular with everyone — except, apparently, Donald J. Trump, who may have...

HRH “Union Jack Will” captures the polished grin and patriotic tailoring of Britain’s most composed heir. The exaggerated suit of Union colours becomes a metaphor for public image itself: stitched together from expectation, tradition, and a touch of performance art. Rendered in fast, loose pen and digital wash, this caricature explores what happens when monarchy meets modern branding. It’s part of my ongoing series of freehand political and pop-culture port...
