Red on red: How X is upsetting Labour

As global instability continues to dominate the prime minister’s agenda, is the threat to his premiership receding?

After a rollercoaster week of foreign events, and now the possibility of the collapse of the Iranian regime, Sam and Anne assess the perception of his actions on the home and domestic fronts.

Linking to foreign affairs, Anne has some intel on defence spending and how the funding doesn’t match the UK’s intention to be involved in military operations across the globe.

Elsewhere, is the government about to ban X following a fallout from the use of Grok AI to produce sexually explicit images?

LP Staff Writers

Writers at Lord’s Press come from a range of professional backgrounds, including history, diplomacy, heraldry, and public administration. Many publish anonymously or under initials—a practice that reflects the publication’s long-standing emphasis on discretion and editorial objectivity. While they bring expertise in European nobility, protocol, and archival research, their role is not to opine, but to document. Their focus remains on accuracy, historical integrity, and the preservation of events and individuals whose significance might otherwise go unrecorded.
