Saturday quiz
Well, this week 6/10, as against political journalist John Rentoul’s 5/10. I did not know the answers to questions 3, 7, 8, and 9.
Conservative Party Leadership contest
Ha. I once knew a (real) Nigerian princess, 35-40 years ago. She was a nice woman; unfortunately, she was shot (in Lagos).
Vote for Nigeria, get Nigeria…
So there it is. The “party formerly known as Conservative” now has a Nigerian woman, married to a banker, as its anointed leader. What a farce.
That contest was between a black (Nigerian) woman, a woman who is a member of Conservative Friends of Israel, on the one side, and a rather unpleasant and corrupt person, member of Conservative Friends of Israel, and married to an American Jewish woman, on the other.
Who really won that contest? Think about it.
Kemi Badenoch is even less (even notionally) “British” than is the egregious “Boris”-idiot. She was born in London, taken within days back to Nigeria, then brought up there and in the USA before returning to the UK at the age of 16.
Has Britain finally gone mad? The Con Party certainly has. “Goodnight Vienna” to it.
Rachel Reeves
“Revealed: Rachel Reeves’s £74k rental income.
Rachel Reeves and her husband are making £74,000 a year in rental income alone, The Telegraph understands.
The Chancellor, who this week hit second home buyers and landlords with a surge in stamp duty costs, is thought to be receiving rent from two properties that adds up to more than £6,000 a month.
It comes after Ms Reeves delivered her first Budget on Wednesday, in which she condemned millions of workers to be poorer by raising National Insurance for their employers.
Landlords and second home owners reacted angrily to Ms Reeves’s maiden Budget, claiming she had put the “final nail in the coffin” for the struggling buy-to-let sector.
Property investors also said she would drive out decent landlords and leave tenants facing higher rents as a result.
The Chancellor, who now lives in Downing Street with her family, lets her former family home – a four-bedroom property in south London – for around £3,200 a month.
While her husband Nicholas Joicey, a senior civil servant, is believed to have let his central London two-bed flat since 2011. It now has a market rental value of nearly £3,000 a month, according to property website Bricks&Logic.
It means the pair, who both have six-figure salaries, make more than four times the average landlord income of £16,500. Their rental income is also twice the average salary of nearly £37,000.
Conservative MP Ben Obese-Jecty said: “Having just announced a deeply unpopular Budget that has caused mortgages to rise, how does the Chancellor justify the £74,000 rental income of her and her husband’s London properties whilst living rent-free in Downing Street as their mortgages are paid for? It’s no wonder she abstained from the most recent vote on the Renters’ Rights Bill.
Ms Reeves earns around £160,000 for her roles as Chancellor and an MP. It means her household income, combined with her husband’s salary of up to £174,999, is more than £400,000.
Earlier this year, as shadow chancellor, Ms Reeves told GB News that checking her bank statement made her “wince” after she found “the money coming in” was “increasingly short of the money going out”.
The Chancellor bought her family home in 2012 with her husband for £599,950. The two co-own the property, according to the Land Registry. The couple’s detached property – which was bought with a mortgage – consists of four bedrooms and two bathrooms, according to Rightmove.
Since Ms Reeves bought it, property listing websites estimate it has gained around £349,000 in value – putting its value today at nearly £950,000.
Nine years ago, Ms Reeves had her parliamentary credit card suspended because she owed more than £4,000 in unauthorised payments. The bill was eventually recouped by the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority.
Between 2014 and 2022, she also claimed £1,225 on the taxpayer to pay someone else to help file her tax return.“
[Daily Telegraph]
Rachel Reeves also has other investments. She is a Grade A moneygrasper; also a member of Labour Friends of Israel and a trustee of the Jew-Zionist Auschwitz-Birkenau Foundation.
Rachel Reeves and her husband have a joint salary/investment income (including capital growth) of well over a half-million pounds a year, possibly even a million.

Exactly. The same underlying agenda.
Yes, but that is still only 2%-5% of all immigration into the UK in that period; then there are births to non-European mothers within the UK.
Millions; indeed, tens of millions. About 15-20 million in all, so far, since the 1950s.
So it begins…
Who needs them? They have less and less credibility, either as a “royal” family or as individuals.
“Inefficient commanders and former ministers must be sent to the front line, and women must be mobilized into the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army , said the head of the Air Reconnaissance Support Center of the Ukrainian Army Maria Berlinskaya. The mobilization of women is an unpopular but necessary decision, she pointed out and stressed that Ukraine “will have to give up” if the mobilization of women does not take place.”
The Kiev regime will have been toppled, or driven over, by this time next year.

Jenrick’s wife looks like a man LOL. Are we sure that he’s actually married to a woman?
Regarding the victory of Olukemi Olofunto Adegoke Badenoch in the Tory leadership race, this is a good thing for anyone who wants to see the Traitor Tory Party electorally annihilated.
Out of the six candidates for the Tory leadership, Kemi is the most unlikeable, the most electorally weak, and the most blatantly un-British, aside from maybe Priti Patel who was eliminated early in the contest.
It’s very difficult to imagine working class White voters in the West Midlands or the North of England (or even the South of England for that matter) voting for Olukemi.
And her nasty personality and her hostility toward the LGBTQ nonsense will alienate cosmopolitan liberal West London types who vote Tory because they want tax cuts. Although Kemi’s hostility toward LGBTQ is probably just a ploy to get elected leader, and now that she won she will probably go full (((David Cameron))) and embrace transgenderism and all the rest of it.
In all likelihood, Kemi will simply be Iain Duncan Smith 2.0, an interim leader who will be binned by the Tory MPs after a couple of years and replaced by someone else. Maybe this guy, who is basically a black version of Johnny Mercer/Tom Tugendhat: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Obese-Jecty
I’m actually somewhat surprised that the Tory membership voted for Badenoch. I was expecting them to fall hook line and sinker for Traitor Jenrick’s shtick of pretending to get tough on immigration.
Maybe even the Tory membership couldn’t stomach Traitor Jenrick’s plan to erect (((REDACTED))) stars at every entrance to the UK.
Or more likely, they voted for Badenoch so they can go around bragging “our leader is a black woman! Labour are the REAL racists! We Tories are so progressive and liberal-minded! We have the first black leader of any political party!”
Here in the USA, the cuckservatives take great delight in bragging about how anti-racist they are. Maybe the Tories in the UK are the same. That would explain why they voted for Olukemi.
I noticed that the total votes for Kemi and Jenrick barely add up to 95,000. Has the Tory Party membership fallen below 100,000? Hilarious, if so.
So far so good.
I hope Kemi remains Tory leader until the next election in 2029. If the Tory MPs try to remove her, I hope she accuses them all of “racism.” They deserve a taste of their own cultural marxist medicine LOL.
With Kemi at the helm of the HMS Tory, they should lose another 60-70 MPs at the next election. Excellent.
Meanwhile, let’s all spare a thought for Traitor Jenrick. Now that he lost the leadership contest, he won’t get a chance to enact his plan of erecting (((REDACTED))) stars at every entrance to the UK. Too bad, so sad!

Friend of Britain:
Jenrick’s other kow-towing policy was to create an ugly concrete “holocaust” propaganda centre in the park next to the Palace of Westminster, but Starmer’s Labour Friends of Israel misgovernment is going to do that anyway.
I agree that Kemi Badenoch will have virtually no electoral appeal. I too thought that Jenrick was more likely to get the job. Perhaps he just came over as *too* inauthentic, willing to say anything to get elected.
53,806 (56.5%) to 41,388 (43.5%).
As you say, only 95,000 voted.
When Liz Truss beat Rishi Sunak in 2022, total votes were nearly 142,000; in 2019, when Boris-idiot beat Jeremy Hunt, total votes were about 139,000. In 2022, Sunak replaced Truss unopposed, so no party membership vote.
The Con Party has been on the way out for several years. Labour too, though.
I think that what we are seeing is the aged membership thinning out. By 2029, there may only be about 30,000 Con Party members, maybe even fewer.
The System gameplan seems to be to promote Reform UK as the real opposition. Starmer-Labour has already proven itself farcically unfit, but under FPTP there has to be a main opposition party. It may be that “controlled opposition” Reform UK can be the straw at which voters may clutch, in the absence of a credible social-national party. What is “credible”? A party treated as “credible” by the mass media and (((Press))). Con, Lab, even LibDem are all treated as if “credible”. Reform now gets almost equal treatment.

No, I think she is sincere about some things such as MASSIVE vote losing, braindead/batshit ideas such as getting rid of maternity pay which is something of value to society and new mothers. So much for being the ‘party of the family’ – a claim that DID have some credibility to it when a REAL leader such as Margaret Thatcher was PM but certainly not now.
Also, her opposition to transexuals/’gender ideology’ is genuine. With her it is an all consuming OBSESSION to the point of utter tedium. It is indeed her only real political thought. Shame for the fake Conservative Party that in comparision to immigration it is not relevant to many and will not move many votes their way.
At any rate, She and others within the rabble have no real intellectual coherence on this issue. As far as I can see, so-called ‘gender ideology’ only became a problem in Britain and in other countries when gay ‘marriage’ was legalised. Before that, it was effectively unknown. After all, if you make the only real gendered institution in society gender-neutral you automatically diminish/eliminate the idea of their being differences between the biological sexes in society so you will get an apparent increase in the number of people saying they are boys/men when they are women/girls and vice versa.
To have intellectual coherence in dealing with the rise of ‘gender idelogy’ requires one to be supportive of what is now called ‘traditional’ marriage. One simply is not credible in wanting to combat ‘gender ideology’ and being in support of gay ‘marriage’ as she does. If you were to restore ‘traditional’ man-woman marriage then ‘gender ideology’ would fade away of its own accord.
Transexuals are a tiny minority of 0.5% of the population snd have always existed in society but before gay ‘marriage’ was made legal they did not cause any problems and this ‘gender ideology’ was unheard of.
Like many things in this country, the Tories moan and whinge about it but THEY are responsible for its creation. They should have left Labour’s existing Civil Partnerships Act in place instead of abolishing ‘real’ gendered marriage.

She is nasty, obnoxious and has a real sense of undeserved arrogance/self-importance about her. Of course, that goes for many Tories which is one reason they are called ‘Britain’s nasty party’. Furthermore, one could make an credible accusation she is an anti-British racist eg when she was on her little hobby horse of anti transexualism, David Tennant berated her for her obsession. She replied that she would be taking no lectures from a “white male” actor. Was there any real reason to mention the Scotsman’s ethnicity? I think not.
She is, apart from the obese Priti Useless, their worst possible new leader. Out of the six, Tom Tugenhadt probably had the broadest appeal then the rather thick James Cleverly (being thick he does not have a real political ideology). Out of the last two, Jenrick had a little bit more popular appeal not least because he was not a promient member of the last cabinet so a lot of voters were not familar with him.
I am quite convinced they will get nowhere with her. Labour voters won’t like the arrogant and pushy little Madame, Lib Dems will not either since she is a fanatical advocate of Brexit and we anti-globalist nationalists obviously don’t. Her whole demeanour will grate with the mass of the voters.

When they lose a by-election or two with her in Opposition they will have to get rid of her. By-elections are rare nowadays and as they only have 121 seats left we might not see one held in one of their seats during this parliamentary term but it is still a possibility we might do so and I wouldn’t say it would be impossible for them to lose one in Opposition even though that is a rare event. William Hague lost the Romsey by-election to the Lib Dems in 2000. The remaining seats are held quite narrowly with only about 5 of them having 10,000 plus majorities. My own seat of Brentwood and Ongar was ultra-safe with a massive majority of 29,000 before July but now has one of just 5,900.
