Whatever the exact figures (recent opinion polls have varied much), the direction of travel is clear. The main System parties are both out of favour with the public.
The Runcorn and Helsby by-election, set down for 1 May 2025, thus takes on an even greater significance.

If you don’t understand how the legal system really works, here’s something you need to know:
Apart from giving your name and address, your only words to the police should be: “No comment.” Let your solicitor do the talking – that’s what they’re there for.
[“If you don’t understand how the legal system really works, here’s something you need to know: Apart from giving your name and address, your only words to the police should be: “No comment.” Let your solicitor do the talking – that’s what they’re there for. The system pressures people to plead guilty for a lighter sentence, even when they’ve done nothing wrong. It’s designed that way – quick, easy, and cheaper for them. But it leads to countless miscarriages of justice. And once you plead guilty, even if it becomes clear later that you were treated unfairly, you’ve usually lost your right to appeal. Know your rights. Don’t be bullied by the system.“]
I was wondering whether (presuming that it was so) the person in that first tweet pleaded guilty, thinking to receive mercy, if not justice. Not in a “political” case…
Interesting that the police (obviously, or presumably, posing as “anti-terror” plods) got the man’s credit/debit cards barred, thus forcing him to return to the UK rather than extend his stay, move elsewhere etc. Thus we see the dangers inherent in the looming “cashless society”. If your only money is stored in electrical impulses on a screen, it is controlled, monitored, and can be cut off, centrally. Be warned.

[Akademgorodok, near Novosibirsk, Western Siberia]
Quite. Look at the Allison Pearson case. Oh, wasn’t she shocked when the police came to her door and questioned her about a few online comments. Yes, shocked. She put all her outrage in her next newspaper column scribblings, and the “usual suspects” in the “free speech” milieu all formed up to march behind her— Toby Young, the “Free Speech Union” he put together, the Spectator, the Daily Telegraph, the Daily Mail etc.
As a matter of fact, I myself think that the police behaved outrageously in that instance.
Where, though, was Allison Pearson when others suffered from similar or worse behaviour at the hands of the police and those behind the police, and indeed Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), who have wormed their way into positions of influence, sometimes having suborned those stupid “elected” Police and Crime Commissioners brought in a decade ago by David Cameron-Levita.
Much of such backstairs manipulation can be lain at the door of the very malicious Jew-Zionist org known as the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”, a pro-Israel pressure group (effectively a volunteer arm of the Israeli Embassy in London) whose self-styled “Director of Investigations and Enforcement”…well, let’s just call him “Slitherman”…is not infrequently to be found broadcasting his lies and propaganda on the “usually, no-one watches” Talk TV and GB News and even, sometimes, on Sky News.
At the foot of this part of the blog can be found a few blog articles detailing some of my own experiences. First, though, let us look at Allison Pearson’s [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allison_Pearson] experience.
[“In November 2024, Pearson was visited at home by Essex Police asking her to undergo a voluntary interview after a complaint that she had incited racial hatred with a tweet posted in November 2023. During a period of scrutiny on British policing of pro-Palestinian protests during the Gaza war, Pearson had posted a photo of Greater Manchester Police officers standing besides supporters of former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan‘s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party waving the party’s flag. However, despite the flag including the word “Pakistan”, she called the flagbearers “Jew haters” and misidentified the officers as Metropolitan Police officers, citing an incident where that service had not met with an Israeli-advocacy group. These errors were corrected by a Community Note and Pearson deleted the tweet.[15][16]
After the visit, Pearson wrote a Telegraph column criticising the incident and saying that the police had said it was a non-crime hate incident. Essex Police reported The Daily Telegraph to the Independent Press Standards Organisation, saying that it had body camera footage proving that they had never said it was a non-crime hate incident.[15][16]
You see from that Wikipedia article that Allison Pearson criticized people as “Jew-haters“. She herself is not Jew, or even (as far as I can see) “part-” or “crypto”. A provincial scribbler by origin, who blagged a poor 2:2 in English at university and, as “journalist”, gets most of her facts wrong.
Allison Pearson has made common cause with the “CAA” snoopers and “lawfare” abusers. She said nothing when the Jewish lobby abused law and professional regulation to have me wrongfully and unlawfully disbarred in 2016; neither did she speak up for me when I was on trial for writing this blog (on trial in late 2023, sentenced in March 2024).
The police have been at my door about 5 or 6 times since 2013, always because some Jew or other has made up a contrived complaint. See the blog articles posted below. A few telephone calls too. The last time was only about a year ago, when some policeman at the door confronted me with Twitter/X posts, which (apart from the language used, which never could have been from me) were from, I think, 2024, and I have not posted on Twitter/X since I was permanently “suspended (expelled) in 2018, when —once again— a pack of Jews combined to “complain” about me.
Seems that the police (posing as a poundland KGB or Stasi) think that I am the only Ian Millard in the world, or in the UK, or posting online. Are they really so ineffective and unthinking? No wonder (real) crime is exploding.
Allison Pearson has also never said a word supporting other victims of Jew-Zionist lawfare, such as Alison Chabloz (imprisoned for posting satirical songs and cartoons), Jez Turner of the now-defunct London Forum (imprisoned for making a short speech in Whitehall saying that Jews should be removed from the UK), or Sam Melia of Patriotic Alternative (imprisoned for distributing completely lawful stickers).
The same is true of other controlled opposition types—Toby Young, the Free Speech Union, GB News, Talk TV, Farage, “Prison Planet” Watson, Matt Goodwin etc, not to forget Katie Hopkins herself…
Ms. Hopkins has never said a word in support of me (or any of those others mentioned).
Come for the vulnerable and disabled yet again and they will rightly come for you. They might not have anything left under Labour but they have a vote. https://t.co/WxTeWffLwf
The first test of that will be the by-election at Runcorn and Helsby on 1 May 2025, i.e. 4 weeks this Thursday.
Only total dummies are going to vote foe Starmer-stein’s fake Labour, but there are plenty of dummies out there, especially in the North of England where many vote Labour automatically, even today (because their great-grandfather always voted Labour…).
Leaving dummies of that sort aside, though, who will vote Labour now? Pensioners? Hardly! The young (under-30s)? Doubtful. Anyone on any State benefits? Very doubtful.
Not that Con is any sort of alternative, now that Labour is doing what the “Conservatives” used to do, and worse…
Shadow Chancellor Mel Stride wants to ditch the Triple Lock on State Pensions, so the over-60s voting “Conservative” would be turkeys voting for Christmas.
Reform is really the only game in town in the by-election, if one were to take seriously the “democratic” Schauspiel.
That wasn’t in the Labour manifesto either. More police they promised. Instead, devastating cuts in the capital.

Who is still voting for the Conservatives after 14 years in power? Has everyone memory-holed the Boriswave, highest tax burden since WW2 and the increasing crime rates that happened under their watch?
I find it hard to believe that any or many would vote Lib, Lab, or Con after the past 15-25 years…
These latest figures would translate to a Commons with 223 Con MPs, 170 Reform, 130 Labour, 56 LibDem (SNP 43 etc). Underwhelming. Con minority govt. (supported by Reform?).
Still, would be good to see so many “Labour” careerists culled.
Among those kicked out would be that horrid little bastard Stephen Kinnock, Angela Rayner, Mary Creagh, Ed Miliband, Wes Streeting, Rachel Reeves, Liz Kendall, Sarah Champion, Kim Leadbeater, Torsten Bell, Lisa Nandy (it just gets better!), and Emma Reynolds.
That one would mean Lab 197 MPs, Reform 194, Cons 141 (etc), so maybe a minority Reform government.
What is holding back Reform is that it is not social-national, just conservative-national.

As blogged previously, only voting for Reform at that by-election will defeat Labour. The “Conservative” fag-end of a party has no chance, and scored only 16% (3rd place) at the 2024 General Election.
Reform can smash this, if people (whatever their preferences) prioritize their wish to defeat fake Labour, Starmer-stein Labour, over everything else.

Well, according to Electoral Calculus [https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html], that translates to a Commons with 191 Lab MPs, 171 Reform, 154 Con, 67 LibDem (SNP 3 etc). Truly a hung Parliament. Any Labour minority government would need either Con or Reform support to govern, and that would be unlikely (unless Reform were to extract a Proportional Representation law as the price of passage). As for Reform, even with Con support it would still be 1 seat short of a formal majority.
Net approval of the government's managing of the cost of living has fallen to -69, lower than the -59 when the Conservatives left office last July
Combining that with the fact that, in another YouGov poll, 52% of UK people see the economy as the number one issue (the second being immigration—44%), it bodes badly for Labour at the Runcorn and Helsby by-election.

80% of Britons say courts should have the power to ban people from standing for election if they are convicted of crimes related to elections or holding office, after French far-right leader Marine Le Pen was banned from standing for election for embezzling EU funds
The question bamboozles the naive respondents. It assumes that the definitions of the alleged crime(s) are correct, and that the court deciding the question of conviction is not itself political or politicized, or politically-influenced. The poll is therefore meaningless and, in fact, dishonest.
“What the Marine Le Pen case reflects is how the elite class is now trying to push us into ‘post-democracy’— a new era in which power, influence and legitimacy are taken out of the hands of the people and put into the hands of a small, unelected, unaccountable elite.
[“What the Marine Le Pen case reflects is how the elite class is now trying to push us into ‘post-democracy’— a new era in which power, influence and legitimacy are taken out of the hands of the people and put into the hands of a small, unelected, unaccountable elite.
This new elite —which spans the political, media, legal, and creative class— not only decides what values and voices are permissible and socially acceptable but is now, visibly, reshaping the parameters of our political systems so that its ongoing and extreme ideological project —radical liberal progressivism enforced through a technocratic managerial class—cannot be disrupted, opposed or diluted in any meaningful way.
As the likes of Christopher Lasch predicted more than thirty years ago, the next major revolt that would reshape the West would not be one that sees the masses rising up against the elites but the elites rising up against the masses.
This is what we are now witnessing across the West, through the rise, spread and enforcement of things like the ‘censorship industrial complex’, hate laws, concept creep, the removal of anti-establishment candidates from the democratic realm, and the use of social norms and taboos to continually discredit conservative, populist, and gender critical views that are entirely legitimate but which the elite class consider unacceptable and so work to stigmatise if not shut down.
In this way, in post-democracy, our once representative political systems, the public square, our institutions, our civic culture are all hollowed out so that they only ever serve and reinforce the values and voice of an elite minority, rather than the forgotten majority.
Ordinary citizens, in this way, are not only stripped of their democratic power but are also forced to live with the dire effects of this project, including mass uncontrolled immigration, broken borders, radical Islamism, sectarianism, and more.
This is what is now unfolding across much of the West. This is what millions of ordinary, taxpaying, hardworking, patriotic people can now see and feel. This is what millions of people are fighting against”.]
