King Charles Shows Us How to Confront Trumpist “Populism”

EA on Al Jazeera’s Inside Story: Trump’s Quest to Break Up Europe

---

I joined Times Radio’s Jane Mulkerrins on Saturday to analyze how US Vice President J.D. Vance is exploiting December’s murder of Henry Nowak in Southampton, England to attack immigrants and undermine the UK’s Labour Government.

I set out the details of the murder, including the error of police in handcuffing Nowak as they failed to realize that he had been stabbed four times in the chest.

I explain how the hard-right Reform Party, allied with the Trump camp, exploited, exaggerated, and distorted the case to claim that “DEI”, anti-white discrimination, and “two-tier policing” were
responsible.

And I place this in the context of the Trumpist National Security Strategy, developed by allies of Vance, to put hard-right parties such as Reform in power across Europe.
