The Duran: Episode 2548 Keir Starmer is racing to finish his final agenda before an expected exit, and Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris break down why that includes a sweeping social media age ban requiring biometric identification for every UK citizen, not just teenagers. The Duran digs into the real story behind enriched uranium shipments to Ukraine, G7 pressure to slash domestic budgets for defense spending, and why Andy Burnham's likely rise to Prime Minister won't change Britain's underlying trajectory. What happens when an entire political class agrees on the same outcome before a single vote is cast? 00:00:00 Starmer's final days and the social media age ban 00:01:31 Enriched uranium to Ukraine and G7 defense cuts 00:02:34 Healey's resignation and the plan to fund the MIC 00:03:21 Burnham's election strategy and a hardline manifesto 00:04:30 Biometric controls and the predicted social media clampdown 00:06:16 Re-nuclearizing Ukraine and keeping the war open-ended 00:08:01 Acceleration not radicalization before Starmer exits 00:09:40 Farage, Reform, and the weak pushback on digital ID 00:11:37 What a Burnham government would actually change 00:14:41 The Conservatives, Reform, and the rise of Restore ***THE DURAN SHOP*** https://theduranshop.com ***REVERSE GEAR SHOP*** Athleisure with Style https://reversegear.shop/ ***THE DURAN COMMUNITY ON LOCALS*** https://theduran.locals.com Join Now Get 1 Month Free Trial ***OUR OFFICIAL CHANNELS*** ALEXANDER: https://www.youtube.com/AlexanderMercourisReal ALEX: https://www.youtube.com/alexchristoforou ***CRYPTO SUPPORT*** BITCOIN: 3JvdnoyWMb93hSRgk58ZstUxg11PW9mKSr ETHEREUM: 0xF39BdFb41f639B82E3D2Bf022828bC6394F533A3 LTC: MGFiMC18ZViF6DcCixMqAAP11TG4tF6Acj EMC2: EXX4KK9pZLx7uiLWnCXtp7iMKjtq6o5b6R ***DONATE*** CREDIT CARD: https://donorbox.org/the-duran SUBSCRIBE STAR: https://subscribestar.com/theduran PATREON: https://patreon.com/theduran ***VIDEO*** RUMBLE: https://rumble.com/c/theduran ODYSEE: https://odysee.com/@theduran BITCHUTE: https://www.bitchute.com/theduran/ ***AUDIO*** SPOTIFY: https://spoti.fi/3pMrfPD APPLE PODCASTS: https://apple.co/2H9Hk0a SOUNDCLOUD: https://bit.ly/354ASQ9 ***FREE SPEECH*** TELEGRAM: https://t.me/thedurancom X (Twitter): https://x.com/TheDuranReal?s=20 GAB: https://gab.ai/TheDuran MINDS: https://minds.com/theduran Amazing music contribution from Peter Brown.

Means it has nothing to do with protecting 16 year olds and younger. It is about monitoring everyone who uses the internet in the UK.

Australia has already gone down the social media ban path. There were numerous work arounds anyway but it is a backdoor to digital id.

Same bullshit here in Aus. Except the kids are smart. They all have retained shadow social media, most often in collaboration with their parents. So, FUCK THE GOVERNMENT

The ban on people younger than 16 using social media has nothing to do with "protecting" them. It is all about adults being forced to identify themselves so that the authorities can track them down and arrest them for having subversive thoughts.

Its obvious the "social media ban" is a Trojan horse to gather data on and monitor the population, males primarily of military age, as these are the most likely to rise up and overthrow the government when a financial collapse is triggered. I hope the true patriots in England understand what is underway and they find the strength and munitions to take to the streets and oust the government before the current batch of elites get the UK nuked

Only two reasons for that ludicrous ban. It's to get everybody to effectively dox themselves online so they're more likely to self-censor and as a route to a digital ID. It's nasty evil politics.

Look at the outcome of the social media ban in Australia. Only one third participated in it. The rest found workarounds!
