Intriguing, and not a little alarming.
By my use of Electoral Calculus, that would result in a House of Commons with only 30 Con MPs (Lab 531, LibDem 47, Green 2, Reform UK 0, SNP 19, Plaid Cymru 3, plus Northern Irish seats and Speaker).
An “elected” “Labour” dictatorship, and the LibDems as the entirely nominal and entirely ineffective official Opposition.

I feel very sorry for the Palestinian Arabs, suffering as they are under the yoke of the Israeli Jews, but I would not want many or even any to come to the UK.
For one thing, many of them, quite understandably, blame the UK and maybe its people for allowing the UK to do the bidding of the Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby, sending military aid etc to Israel, and so on; there may be a degree of hostility.
Secondly, if large numbers, perhaps the more active of the Palestinian Arabs, come to the UK, the resistance to Israel in Israel/Palestine itself will be weakened.
Thirdly, of course, I oppose the migration-invasion in general.
As to tweeter “@AJPhillipsEsq”, I agree with his point.

Politics as a comedic “gig”. Eddie Izzard is only one symptom of the sickness of both politics and society in the contemporary UK.
Mirabile dictu! For once, I agree with “Judge” Rinder (TV show “judge” character).
Do I understand from that clip that Andrew Pierce, that little puppet of finance-capitalist propaganda posing as analysis, actually had the gall to try to argue the point?
The water companies should be taken into national ownership forthwith, and with little if any compensation paid to the mostly foreign shareholders.
Salus populi suprema lex esto— the welfare of the people is the supreme law [Cicero].
Legalistic points (in public international law) about “expropriation” can be ignored.
As to why Labour-label has not pledged to do what is necessary, it is because the real differences between Con-label and Lab-label are few, especially when it comes to finance-capitalism.
That tendency has been around for a long time in the UK, but more pointedly since small upsurges of British national politics started to be listened to by a significant minority.
Nick Griffin was attacked by a stupid young woman about 14 years ago; Nigel Farage as well, several years ago. The Brexit shambles has added fuel to that fire.
If someone such as me writes a well-reasoned (usually), humorous (occasionally) blog, he may well be subjected to State repression at the behest of the Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby, but a (supposed) comedienne such as Jo Brand can make a “joke”, effectively inciting cretins to pour acid on those whose views they dislike, and the “comic” idiot will face no penalty, and even get more work from the BBC (thanks to the “licence” tax imposed on the legally-captured audience, many of whom —like me— rarely even bother with BBC these days).

…”and answer came there none“…
I myself could attempt an answer but, as many will know, the small but (inevitably) well-funded “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] managed to have me put on trial late last year —November 2023— after some 7 years of malicious and lying complaints by them, including the very weird ex-MP, now “Lord”, Ian Austin, writing directly to the Director of Public Prosecutions about me).
The Hampshire Constabulary and “Clown” Prosecution Service eventually caved in to the whining demands of the Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby.
Representing myself, I very nearly got off at half-time on the equivalent of “no case to answer”, but was convicted in the end of having published 5 blog posts containing material deemed to have been “grossly offensive” under Communications Act 2003, s.127, a piece of law so badly flawed that the Law Commission has recommended its repeal.
The case hinged upon 5 blog posts out of about 1,800 published since late 2016, and out of about 1,000 published in the 3 years prior to charge (3 years being the “backstop” time limitation).
The CPS and police wasted hundreds, perhaps thousands of hours of their supposedly precious time “trawling” (as the woman in charge of the CPS office in question put it) through thousands of pages of material.
The result was that, despite the “Clown” Prosecution Service and its outside Counsel having tried to make this pitiful little matter into a “State Trial” (in the historical sense), the sentence of the learned District Judge in question was that I undertake 15 “rehabilitation days” (mostly, in fact, quite short meetings) with the Probation Service (and spread over the nine months of March-December 2024), and pay notional costs totalling £734.
I missed a trick in that I perhaps could have asked for a reduction in costs based on the fact that the CPS asked for an adjournment of a week so that their Counsel could apply for a Criminal Behaviour Order against me, which he did. The very experienced District Judge (a former Deputy Chief Metropolitan Magistrate) however refused that Application and preferred my argument; indeed, he anticipated much of it.
I was tired, unsurprisingly, and failed to ask for the costs of the unnecessary extra (part-) day in court.
Never mind. All comes to he who waits…
So, reverting to that question about the Jewish lobby on the radio, I prefer not to make the fairly obvious answer as to why all those political candidates (not sure for what election; maybe the Manchester mayoral election; maybe not) turned out for the Jewish lobby, but not for the elderly, disabled and poor English people. I think that my blog readers will guess aright.
Incidentally, I am still paying off that £734 costs order by instalments. If anyone would care to help by donating a few pounds and/or sharing the link, I should be most grateful: https://www.givesendgo.com/GC14J.
Finally, I had until today never heard of Eddie Nestor MBE. Sounds like an honest fellow, anyway: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_Nestor. The West Indians often seem more alert than echt-English people in respect of “this question”.
If only more people on radio and TV (especially white English people) were willing to stand up —even a little— to “that” special-interest lobby in the honest way that the said Nestor has done.
More about the legal case Wilson v. Mendelsohn, Newbon, and Cantor [for more, see previous blog posts]
“Here we go. One of the Defendants has told me this:
“He [Mark Lewis of Patron Law] also told me that there was no way I could lose any money as I would win at least one of the claims and the costs would be so substantial to you that it would end up in credit to my side.
This advice began to change dramatically after the result came in. When I said that I won two of the four, he responded with a very different picture.”
I do not know if this is true. But, if it is true, then: (a) it is terrible advice; and (b) it suggests Lewis continued to provide advice to this Defendant after identifying a conflict in May 2023. If true, it is scandalous conduct. @MLewisLawyer @sra_solicitors.”
We are supposedly a civilized society under law. That means that, unlike in the Old Wild West, Mark Lewis (and/or his pack of colleagues) cannot be tarred and feathered, and then run out of town on a rail (or rails), but what can be done is for the Solicitors’ Regulation Authority to take action resulting in Lewis’s removal from the solicitors’ roll.
For more about Lewis, see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/11/update-re-mark-lewis-lawyer-questions-are-raised/
Incidentally, Lewis is a longstanding “Patron” and co-conspirator with the “Campaign Against Antisemitism”.
Lewis has been acting both dishonestly and fraudulently for many years. Time to boot him out and back to Eilat (Israel) where he apparently now has his domicile.

Once he loses the General Election later this year, or early in the New Year, the little Indian money-juggler will probably decamp, with his wife, to California. He may have been born here (in Southampton, in 1980), and educated here (Winchester, followed by Oxford) but he has no real roots here. The only difference between him and millions of other non-white “migrants” (or offspring of migrants) is the vast amount of money he has, mainly via his wife, who was born in India and seems to have arrived in the UK sometime around 2012, via California and the Netherlands. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akshata_Murty.
Anyone who seriously believes that Sunak or his wife care a jot for the British people must be a very silly person indeed.
Ha. Indeed. It is comical to see various clowns still kow-towing to “The Harry Formerly Known as Prince” just because of his (disputed) “royal” birth, but even more comical to see the “wokerati” on Twitter/X defending him for one reason only, i.e. his marriage to a “half-caste” part-white, part-non-white woman.
In a sense, I almost feel sorry for him. Not much, though.

Amusing. When I was a barrister based in Exeter (though travelling all over England and even overseas on legal kommandirovki, I was briefed a few times by South West Water. Their legal department was, I think, very small. I met once or twice with the head of legal affairs and a few of his subordinates at their offices in a business park by Exeter, but I think, from memory, that there were really not that many staff working there, even including office staff such as administrators. That would have been sometime around 2005.
I should add that not everyone was happy with the South West Water product even that long ago, but my own house was supplied by a private natural spring.
Myerson should not be sitting in judgment over anyone, particularly (real) English people. Those directly affected by his behaviour should complain to the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office https://www.complaints.judicialconduct.gov.uk/ and/or to the Bar Standards Board https://www.barstandardsboard.org.uk/for-the-public/reporting-concerns.html.
“They” are always very brave when they have, or think they have, the power and their victims no power. If and when “they” start to come off worst, then the pseudo-“victim” character emerges.
“Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will be removed from that position until the end of the special operation, said the former adviser to the head of the Pentagon, Colonel Douglas McGregor in the show on YouTube channel Judging Friday.
There is also a possible scenario in which the leader of the Kyiv regime will be allowed to leave the country and go, for example, to Cyprus, the colonel believes.
Russian forces can reach Odessa, if the Kiev regime does not agree to negotiations, otherwise the Russian army will close the passage on the front line east of the Dnieper. Russia will ensure the creation of a neutral demilitarized zone, he added.”
Well worth reading. Pity that the msm drones pumping out “Ukraine” (Kiev regime and NWO/ZOG) propaganda cannot produce analysis such as that (or as regularly seen on this blog).

According to the replies from that survey about Starmer and the Labour Party, we can safely assume that out of those 1.476 people interviewed 27% are utter morons and 24% are very close. To say that you trust Starmer puts you in the first category and to reply you do not know what to say puts you in the second. The worst part of it is that these people can vote; that is democracy for you…

Even Churchill is on record saying something similar.
The problem is that the UK has a basically binary system promoted by FPTP voting. So what happens when, on the strategic level of policy, both “main parties” are not dissimilar?

Churchill was a bastard (according to some, in more than one sense) but he was not an idiot like the morons who “represent” the British people since the 1990s.
The best thing that Churchill ever said is: “The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter”. He either said this in confidence to one of his friends or when he was completely drunk; either way is a brilliant definition that has been proven to be true 100%

My fault— I should have explained about FPTP; in the UK, all educated people understand the acronym.
FPTP = “First Past The Post”, a metaphor taken from the racecourse. In other words, the election candidate with the most votes wins the election, even if he or she is voted for by a small minority (there are a few MPs in the UK who have been thus elected with as few votes as might make up 25% of the eligible and voting electorate in that constituency).

The lowest winning share ever was by a former Liberal Party MP in a constituency in the Northern Highlands of Scotland in 1992’s general election. He got 26% of the vote but in that election the turnout across the UK and in that seat was very good (turnouts have declined since) so even with that low vote share he would still have got a decent number of actual votes.
However, that you only need one more vote than your nearest opponent to win and as it is possible to win a highly divided seat with an even lower share than 26% it shows what a massive vote ‘wasting’ machine, stand alone FPTP is. It is simply not an appropriate electoral system for a supposed national, UK wide general election unless it is combined with a PR ‘top-up’ party list system as in Germany or New Zealand:

Using ‘pure’ FPTP as we do and sharing this system in Europe with Belarus ONLY (Putin’s friend) shows just how backward a country the UK is. No wonder we have so dysfunctional, out of touch politics and we don’t ever progress as a country.

At the risk of seeming to quibble, I believe that a seat in Northern Ireland was won (sometime in the past decade) on a vote of 23% or 24% of those voting. I cannot cite it, though.

Yes, I believe the seat of South Belfast was won on a share of 24%. I think about seven candidates received decent shares. Another was a Lib Dem win in 2010 in Norwich South on 29% of the vote. Results like these just go to prove how inappropriate an electoral system FPTP is for general elections unless it is used as it is in Germany and New Zealand to provide a ‘constituency link’ in a Mixed-Member Proportional Representation system.
Under stand alone, ‘pure’ FPTP you are only supposed to have just two candidates standing either as independents or representing two different parties. Having 3 candidates will usually mean many votes being ‘wasted’ let alone seven! Even as a system for local elections it is out of date and farcical but for national elections the absurdity and inappropriate nature becomes yet more severe.

If only the very thick skinned and supremely arrogant Sunak would just do the decent thing at long last and either resign or kindly expire in some way whether that be by an [REDACTED], a car crash or getting killed by a lightening strike. Like Starmer he is evil, anti-British filth and despises the British people and backs the evil, continual international law defying bandit Zionist state and its numerous atrocities against Palestinians. The fake, treasonous Conservative Party needs to pay a very heavy price for putting him into that formerly prestigious address and being so wretchedly cowardly to remove him from living there.
