ANDREW NEIL: Like a clown running into a minefield, Musk threw caution to the wind, but he's right - Trump's 'big beautiful bill' IS a 'disgusting abomination' | Daily Mail Online

3 weeks ago | dailymail.co.uk | Andrew Neil

Well, that didn’t take long. When I boarded a flight for New York on Thursday, Donald Trump and Elon Musk were still sticking to the script: though the dizzy days of their bromance might be over, the separation was amicable. The most powerful man in the world and the richest even staged a chummy farewell in the Oval Office last week to underline the point. Yet by the time I’d landed at JFK just over seven hours later, Washington’s version of Krakatoa had erupted.
ANDREW NEIL: Starmer is shifting Leftwards to save his own skin. And that means one thing: yet more tax rises are coming our way...

I’m a man without conviction, I’m a man who doesn’t know,’ sang Culture Club’s Boy George in his huge 1980s hit Karma Chameleon. It could be Keir Starmer’s theme song. Less than a decade ago, as a rather dull, modestly Left-wing lawyer (he spouted all the usual nostrums of the fashionable North London cognoscenti), he signed up to Jeremy Corbyn’s warmed-over Marxism to become a leading member of the old fraud’s shadow cabinet.
ANDREW NEIL: Donald Trump promised the US a golden age but, so far, it's only his family that are enriching themselves. With polls tumbling and Putin playing him like a fiddle, I fear what will come next | Daily Mail Online

It never seems to rain but it pours these days for Donald Trump. This week, not one but two US courts ruled that he had misused emergency powers to impose tariffs on whatever took his fancy, thereby blowing a massive hole in what has been the signature policy of his second administration so far. Last weekend, his Kremlin pal, President Putin, responded to his pleas for a Ukrainian ceasefire and peace talks by raining down scores of missiles and hundreds of drones on various Ukrainian cities.
ANDREW NEIL: Putin just humiliated Trump. But was it a trap? There are White House whispers about what's coming next

1 month ago | dailymail.co.uk | Andrew Neil

It's taken long enough but Donald Trump is at last rethinking his benign view of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. On the eve of Putin's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine over three long, grueling, bloody years ago, Trump described him as a 'genius' and 'very savvy'. Last weekend, as it finally dawned on Trump that Putin was not quite the peacemaker he'd thought, the President said the Russian was 'absolutely crazy' and 'playing with fire'. Quite the turnaround.
ANDREW NEIL: Rachel Reeves has condemned us to a doom loop of economic despair. Brace yourself for a £30BILLION tax raid

1 month ago | dailymail.co.uk | Andrew Neil

Mark my words: there will be tax rises in the autumn. Big ones. Perhaps not quite as big as the £40billion in extra taxes Chancellor Rachel Reeves slapped on us in her first Budget last October, after promising no major tax rises to get elected. But pretty hefty nonetheless.
ANDREW NEIL: In 55 years of covering politics, I've never accused any UK government of routinely telling untruths. But Starmer & Co have taken lying and gaslighting to a deplorable level | Daily Mail Online

1 month ago | dailymail.co.uk | Andrew Neil

How can you tell when politicians are lying? Their lips are moving. It's a hoary old joke but it can still be guaranteed to raise a rueful chuckle among British voters increasingly disillusioned with the political process. I always thought it a tad unfair. Yes, politicians do deploy all manner of contrivances to avoid telling the truth when it's inconvenient. As someone who's spent an adult lifetime interviewing them, I can readily testify to that.
ANDREW NEIL: The rush to throw in our lot with Brussels is unfathomable. If this deal is the shape of things to come we are truly doomed..

1 month ago | dailymail.co.uk | Andrew Neil

It’s a pretty good deal, alright – for the European Union. British food, agricultural produce and energy is back under Brussels’ control. European trawlers have another 12 years of largely untrammelled access to British fishing waters. And the EU nomenklatura may well once again soon be able to send their entitled nepo-babies to our elite universities on reduced tuition fees.
ANDREW NEIL: Donald Trump's 'bromance diplomacy' in the Middle East has achieved more in a few days than the conventional approach has in decades

1 month ago | dailymail.co.uk | Andrew Neil

Call it diplomacy by bromance. Donald Trump deployed it in the Middle East this week and made more progress in a few days than conventional diplomacy has made in decades. But then the Gulf States – ‘an amazing part of the world’ he told them on Thursday – are Trump’s kind of places. They’re run by people awash in dosh. People prepared to sprinkle it generously in America’s direction, even on to Trump’s own lap (thanks, Qatar, for that $400million jumbo jet).
China, Russia, Iran, North Korea... The terrifying threat of the alliance of autocrats now menacing us seems utterly lost on Europe's naive leaders: ANDREW NEIL | Daily Mail Online

1 month ago | dailymail.co.uk | Andrew Neil

There was a gathering of the ghouls in Moscow yesterday as Russia held its own commemoration of the end of the Second World War in Europe 80 years ago. Somewhat ironically for an event meant to mark the final surrender of a terrible tyranny, President Putin was surrounded in Red Square by some two dozen of today’s worst tyrants (among whom he can include himself) from the likes of Belarus, Venezuela, Cuba, Zimbabwe and Republic of Congo.
ANDREW NEIL: The humiliation of Labour and the Tories has been on the cards for years. You can only defy the British people for so long before paying a terrible price - now Farage is on top | Daily Mail Online

1 month ago | dailymail.co.uk | Andrew Neil

The humiliation of the Labour and Conservative parties in Thursday’s elections has been on the cards for years. You can defy the wishes of the British people for only so long before being forced to pay a terrible price. We are slow to anger. But when anger kicks in, we quickly reach boiling point. As the two parties which have dominated British politics for so long have now found out to their cost. They can’t say they weren’t warned.
