[“I firmly believe the UK is now hurtling toward a major political earthquake. Look at the numbers in the latest polling, compared to the general election last year. Amid the worst cost-of-living crisis since the Second World War, soaring and uncontrolled immigration, deteriorating public services, a glaring lack of social integration, and a succession of scandals that have rocked the Labour government, from the rape gangs to Freebiegate, voters are now on the move. Compared to the 2024 general election, Keir Starmer and Labour are down more than 10-points on just 24%. Kemi Badenoch and the Tories are down 2-points on just 22%, showing no sign of recovery. And the Liberal Democrats are up 1-point, averaging just 13.6%. But now look at Reform. As we’ve been predicting and analysing in our newsletter for two years (showing why people are voting Reform and the areas where it is building strength), Reform is now up 11-points to 25%. And that’s not all. As I explain below, Reform is now hitting both the Tories but especially Labour in unique and powerful ways, looking set for a major breakthrough as it inherits the post-Brexit realignment.”]

Yes, but Reform can only be a transitional party, existing in the space between the existing System parties and a social nationalist movement which, as yet, does not exist.

The next big test will be the Runcorn and Helsby by-election. 9 days from today. Those voters could make history. Will they?

We” are not imposing anything. It has been imposed on us by the System parties, and mainly at the behest of the Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby…but don’t expect Goodwin to say anything about that

Does “their” thirst for vengeance and retribution never stop?

[“The Ukrainian authorities simply stole, pumped money out of the territories and took it abroad” According to Vladimir Putin, this is where the Kyiv regime’s desire to cooperate with sponsors came from. He noted that the Kiev regime continues to steal money from the Ukrainian people, we are talking about billion-dollar accounts that are located abroad. And Western weapons supplied to Ukraine constantly end up on the black market.“]

If the Kiev regime does not come to terms shortly, then the war will continue until unconditional surrender, or worse.

That could have been predicted.

I disagree with the lady tweeter. The “4 MPs” of Reform UK are 4 and not 93 (650 x 14.29%) only by reason of a stupid, illogical, and totally unfair electoral system. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_Kingdom_general_election#Full_results.

In rough terms, at the 2024 General Election, Reform scored about 2 votes out of every 12 cast. Labour got 4 out of every 12, the Con Party 3 out of every 12. In fact, 8 out of every 20 eligible did not even vote, so Labour was endorsed by only 4 out of 20.

About half of those Labour votes were cast by people who now realize that Starmer-stein lied to them about almost everything. That is why Labour (supported mainly by non-white voters) is now around the same level as Reform UK.

The unfair FPTP electoral system gives the false impression that only a tiny fringe supported Reform at GE 2024; in fact it was over 14%, and the Conservative Party, with all its money and history (and in government until the General Election) only scored 23%.

Widespread and angry political dissent is not going to go away even if Reform does. Popular discontent will simply find another channel to flow down. Another party, or a new movement of some kind, perhaps a social-national movement which goes beyond being simply a political party.

James O’Brien, a radio would-be know-all who is often pretty ignorant.

What’s wrong with the other 53%? Actually, the “53%” is nearer to 33% or even lower, because at least 20% of the whole population is now non-European and their votes should not be taken into account in such a poll.

A good majority of white (i.e. British) people are now firmly hostile to immigration.

At last.

Really? If so, the SVR is not doing its job very well…

[Great Patriotic War memorial, Panfilov Park, Almaty, Kazakhstan. In the Autumn and Winter of 1996, and the Spring of 1997, I lived on Prospekt Lenina, about 10 minutes’ walk from there (I moved to another address later). A striking example of public statuary]

  1. People are not being “thrown in jail for voicing anti-immigration views”, they are thrown in jail when they say/write things on social media that calls for harming immigrants. Incitement.

    1. Really? Would you care to comment upon the case of Sam Melia? He was sentenced to prison for two years for an activity (posting stickers) which the prosecution admitted was lawful.

      1. Very good observation. This fellow lives in a bubble. Hundreds of law-abiding British citizens have been arrested for politely complaining about the awful behaviour of the immigrants and/or the equally awful response of the police who always take the side of the invaders.

  2. “In a democracy, the people end up with the government and leaders they deserve” Joseph de Maistre.

    Trump and Vance have zero diplomatic skills, neither had Boris Johnson, although he was marginally better. Trump seems to imagine he is still on the set of The Apprentice, where he can just eliminate contestants by saying “you’re fired”.

    Of course Trump would only treat world leaders who are in a position of weakness in that way, it wouldn’t happen to Netanyahu or Mohammed Bin Salman al Saud.

    I vacillate between feeling the Americans get the leaders they deserve and feeling ever so slightly sorry for them, but not a lot.

  3. James O’Brien called a “lefty” by The Spectator, when he is in fact Centrist through and through. O’B attended Ampleforth College and sends his two daughters to private school. Indeed O’B was having conniptions when V.A.T. on school fees was being mooted.

    He is, however, an absolutely revolting individual who takes great pleasure in humiliating callers to LBC who don’t agree with his viewpoint. An aggressive and thoroughly nasty man.
