Conservatives had been in office for over a decade, and the citizens patiently waited for them to behave like conservatives. They never did. They not only lost, but they lost in a huge way. It’s the worst conservatives have done in any election in 190 years. They lost 250 seats but still controlled 121. They […] The post UK Conservatives Performed Worse Than in Any Election in 190 Years appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

In a blowout victory, Great Britain’s Labour Party ousted the Conservative Party from power after a 14-year run. Labour Party leader Keir Starmer has been officially named Britain’s prime minister. The only time in the nation’s history a party won more votes came in 1997, when Tony Blair’s Labour Party won 418 seats. The Labour Party won 412 seats, adding a massive 214 seats to its previous total, while the Conservatives won a paltry 121 seats, plunging a whopping 251 seats. The centrist Liberal Democrats picked up 71 seats, adding 63 to their previous total, while Nigel Farage’s Reform U.K. party picked up four seats. “Labour’s win was also fragile,” CNN noted. “The vote breakdown made clear that the election was as much, if not more, about the public’s anger towards the Conservatives as it was about excitement for Labour’s offer.” Former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak of the Conservative Party apologized after the results were made public, saying, “To the country I would like to say first and foremost, I am sorry. I have given this job my all, but you have sent a clear signal that the government of the United Kingdom must change. And yours is the only judgment that matters. I have heard your anger, your disappointment, and I take responsibility for this loss.” Conservative Party leader Suella Braverman, whom Sunak fired last year as Home Secretary last year but won re-election to Parliament, stated, “I am sorry that my party didn’t listen to you. The Conservative Party has let you down. You – the Great British people voted for us over 14 years and we did not keep our promises. We’ve acted as if we’re entitled to your vote regardless of what we did, regardless of what we didn’t do, despite promising time after time that we would do those things and we need to learn our lesson because if we don’t, bad as tonight has been for my party, we’ll have many worse nights to come.” Braverman was fired by Sunak after she wrote a piece in The Times that called the pro-Palestinian demonstrators in London “hate marchers” and condemned police for their “double standard” in protecting leftwing protesters. She pointed out that Britons “pride ourselves on our long-established traditions of freedom of expression. These liberties consist not only of freedom of speech but also freedom of assembly. The right to protest in public is a cornerstone of democracy. That is why peaceful marches are never banned and even controversial and disruptive ones are policed rather than blocked.” Noting that in exceptional circumstances a chief constable can ask the home secretary to ban a march, Braverman, who was born in London and whose family is of Indian origin, continued: These issues have come into sharp focus because of what happened on October 7: the worst massacre of Jews since the Nazi era. The ramifications of that terrible event and all that has followed have been felt on the streets of the UK. There have been dignified vigils in London held by Britain’s Jewish community, but that is not what has tested our capacity to maintain public order. She then turned to the “pro-Palestinian movement,” writing that the tens of thousands of angry demonstrators marching through London every weekend had attacked police, stopped train services and mobbed poppy sellers raising funds for veterans. Speaking of the march planned for Armistice Day, she wrote: Here we reach the heart of the matter. I do not believe that these marches are merely a cry for help for Gaza. They are an assertion of primacy by certain groups — particularly Islamists — of the kind we are more used to seeing in Northern Ireland. Also disturbingly reminiscent of Ulster are the reports that some of Saturday’s march group organisers have links to terrorist groups, including Hamas. “There is a perception that senior police officers play favorites when it comes to protesters,” she commented. “During Covid, why was it that lockdown objectors were given no quarter by public order police yet Black Lives Matters demonstrators were enabled, allowed to break rules and even greeted with officers taking the knee?” RELATED: High British Official Fired After Warning Islamists Want ‘Primacy’ In England

A Tennessee judge on Thursday ruled against releasing the writings of the transgender-identifying shooter who killed three children and three adults at a Christian school in Nashville in March 2023.  In a ruling released at 11:58 p.m. local time, Davidson County Judge I’Ashea Myles said that copyright claims put on the writings of the woman who attacked The Covenant School preempted public records requests. Myles also sided with Metro Nashville Police, who have so far refused to release its investigative file on the shooting, citing an ongoing investigation. “Based upon Supremacy Clause and conflict preemption, the federal Copyright Act serves as a valid exemption to the Tennessee Public Records Act and thus preempts the disclosure of any original work of authorship in any form created by the assailant [shooter’s last name] which has been collected by Respondent Metro,” Myles wrote.  The ruling is the latest development in an ongoing legal battle over the writings, which began soon after the school was attacked last year.  Multiple parties, including the Tennessee Firearms Association, The Tennessean, The Tennessee Star, Republican state legislator Todd Gardenhire, and the National Police Association, sued the city of Nashville last year to gain access to the writings. A group of parents from The Covenant School later intervened to block release, citing a copyright given by the killer’s parents.  Myles further said no documents needed to be produced while police say the investigation continues.  “The release of the remaining documents which are not original, derivative or compilation works created by the assailant is further constrained by the exceptions to disclosure set forth by the General Assembly,” Myles said, writing that, “during the pendency of this investigation and any legal proceedings thereafter, the investigative files of the police and materials therein are not available.” She said that police “need not disclose any materials which are in its open investigative file and are relevant to any pending or contemplated criminal action until such investigation and any collateral criminal proceedings are complete.” Her decision is likely to be appealed in court.  Despite the judge’s ruling, portions of the writings have already been published by both The Daily Wire and The Tennessee Star. This led to Myles threatening to punish Tennessee Star Editor-in-Chief Michael Patrick Leahy, but she later backed off.  Last month, The Daily Wire published photos of the attacker’s journal obtained by a source familiar with the investigation. The pages showed a woman who had been consumed by radical transgender theory and conveyed her anger at Christianity and her parents over their traditional views.

Hollywood actor and outspoken Trump supporter, Antonio Sabato Jr., is making headlines again, this time for participating in a celebrity boxing match promoted by former President Donald Trump. The event, scheduled to take place later this year, promises to be a spectacle, blending entertainment with a strong political statement. Sabato Jr., known for his roles in TV shows like "Melrose Place" and "General Hospital," has been a vocal advocate for Trump, often facing backlash and claims of being blacklisted in Hollywood due to his political views. Despite the challenges, Sabato Jr. has remained steadfast in his support, aligning himself with Trump’s vision for America. JUST IN: Iconic boxing promoter Don King endorses Trump for president over Biden WATCH pic.twitter.com/hI2wJ46oTm — Simon Ateba (@simonateba) May 8, 2024 The celebrity boxing match, which will be held in Florida, is expected to draw significant attention, not just for its entertainment value but also for its political undertones. Trump’s involvement as a promoter and potential commentator adds a layer of intrigue, as he continues to wield influence within the Republican Party and among his supporters. Sabato Jr. expressed his excitement about the event, highlighting it as an opportunity to bring attention to issues he believes are critical for the nation. "This is more than just a boxing match; it's about standing up for what you believe in and not backing down, no matter the opposition," he said in a recent interview. pic.twitter.com/IRUcyeHg9X — Antonio Sabato Jr (@AntonioSabatoJr) December 20, 2023 The event has been met with mixed reactions. Supporters of Trump and Sabato Jr. view it as a bold move to challenge the Hollywood establishment and promote conservative values. Critics, however, see it as a publicity stunt that further polarizes the already divided political landscape. Republican commentators have praised the initiative, arguing that it showcases the resilience and determination of individuals who refuse to be silenced by mainstream media and Hollywood elites. They believe this event can inspire others to speak out and support conservative principles without fear of retribution. In the broader context, the boxing match symbolizes the ongoing cultural battle between conservative and liberal ideologies in America. Sabato Jr.'s participation underscores his commitment to fighting for the causes he believes in, using his platform to advocate for change and challenge the status quo. As the event date approaches, anticipation continues to build. It promises to be a unique blend of sports and politics, with potential implications for the upcoming elections. For many Republicans, it represents a defiant stand against a culture they feel has marginalized conservative voices for too long.

A young football fan at a Taylor Swift concert got the surprise of a lifetime when former pro athlete Jason Kelce approached him! This boy caught the celebrity’s attention because he was wearing a Philadelphia Eagles jersey to the event with Kelce’s name on it. The football pro decided that he needed to meet this young man! Someone caught the sweetest footage of the encounter. You could tell that the boy was absolutely floored when he saw Jason Kelce walking up to him at the concert.

Screengrab from TikTok In case you didn’t know, Jason Kelce is the older brother of Swift’s boyfriend, Travis — which explains what he was doing at the concert.

The Outlaw Music Festival Tour 2024 has been a blast, but someone very important has been absent: Willie Nelson. Just last week, it was announced that Nelson is under the weather. As a result, his doctor recommended that he rest a bit before going back out on stage. Luckily, the legendary singer’s family, including son Lukas Nelson, were the perfect folks to take his place. That being said, it seems that won’t be necessary anymore after Willie Nelson’s triumphant return last night! Nelson’s return didn’t take place during one of their concerts. Rather, he made an appearance during an event called 4th of July Picnic, which took place at Camden, New Jersey. The 91-year-old took to the stage a little before 10 p.m. — then he impressively performed more than 20 songs! Best of all, though, he didn’t do it alone. Instead, he was joined by Lukas and the Family Band. Check out a clip of Nelson performing for the first time after his break in the video below. Wow! It’s truly incredible to see Nelson’s passion and dedication for music, even now that he’s in his 90s. Being able to bounce back like that is amazing, and it’s clear the has so much support and love from his family, friends, and fans. This can be seen in the way they welcomed him back with such kind, encouraging words. After a Break for His Health, Willie Nelson Makes His Highly Anticipated Return to the Stage “What a beautiful sight to see Willie back & on the road again. Love Willie & Lukas!” one fan writes in the comments of the above video, with another adding, “I was there. Great day and night of music and Willie sounded great.” “A true American treasure,” someone else poignantly shares. You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!

The chickens have finally come home to roost

Many fresh cases of chronic pain have been sprouting nowadays more than cases of the common ones like diabetes, high blood pressure, or depression, according to a new National Health Interview Survey (NHIS). And what’s more shocking is two-thirds of those who suffered from chronic pain reportedly noticed its return even a year later. For […]
