The Conservative Party Conference a couple of years ago. Sparsely attended. Indeed, many were probably journalists. I expect that the 2024 one was even less-well-attended. Are they even bothering to hold one this year? Apparently so— 5-8 October 2025, at the Midland Hotel, Manchester. I wonder how many will attend? I suspect, few. It will be hard for them to disguise the total irrelevance of the Conservative Party in 2025.
Saturday quiz
Unusually, political journalist John Rentoul beat me this week, scoring 6/10 as against my 5/10. I knew the answers to questions 1, 5, 6, 7, and 9. I should also have guessed the answers to 8 and 10, but did not.

Tell me something I don’t know…
Rachel Reeves must live in some world of utter multikulti delusion. She equates the rights of British young people (of the past) with the wishes of black/brown/other migrant invaders (of today).
Secondly, no-one opposes anyone merely taking a holiday, or even maybe a short-term working holiday, in the UK, but that is not to be equated with those who wish to settle in the UK (whether working or not).
Thirdly, when did British young people ever work, in any but tiny numbers and/or during holidays etc (such as grape-picking in France), overseas?
This is where Labour (and the other System parties) are now— in a world of unreality.
Get rid of them.

Careerists; part of a “consensus”, or should that be termed “conspiracy”?

Yet more attritional gains, but Russia needs a breakthrough, a gamechanging breakthrough.
That Patriot system has not the numbers to stop 1,000 drones at once, nor the capability of stopping hypersonic missiles etc.
Ecce the contemporary type of political journalist. Dan Hodges thinks that the above poll is bad for Farage and Reform. What I see there is that 44% of people polled support an end to grants of indefinite leave to remain, and 13% are unsure, so might also support that. 57% in all. Even deportation of some of those with existing ILR is supported by 29% and at least not opposed by 13%. 42% in all.
If Reform can top 30% in a general election, with all other parties below that level, and especially if the System parties each poll below 25%, then political earthquake will result, even if Reform does not get a Commons majority. In fact, if Reform only gets a plurality of Commons seats, and so is weak in government, that in itself will stimulate a popular demand for social national revolution.
Lenin did not have anything like a majority (had there been any election) in 1917. The NSDAP in 1932 got 33.7% in the first election and 33.1% in the second. Lesson: carry a third of the people with you, against a disunited front of opponents, and you can take over.

Goodwin and Toby Young must, if they want to seem credible, place the major part of the blame for repression of free speech in the UK (and EU) squarely where it belongs— upon the Jew-Zionist/Israel lobby embedded in government, business, the mass media, and the legal system.

Wall. Squad. End.
If you want a ****** for a neighbour, vote Labour… (still true after 60 years…).
Translates to a Commons with about 433 Reform MPs, 100 Lab, 48 LibDems, 30 SNP, and 9 Con (Greens 6, Plaid 4 etc).
Stunning, as a poll. If it happens in real political life, shattering.

Watching Farage laughing is sickening; it is so obvious he is a compulsive liar who does not believe one word he says. His style is very American, by which I mean show-business-like. Here is an excellent video that explores this idea more completely:

Yes. Not someone I would support, as such. As you know, my hope is for Farage and Reform to break down the electoral system and the old System parties. Just that.

The picture of Forbury Gardens reminded me of an article I read once about the beautiful war memorial representing a lion. It was dedicated to the men of the 66th (Berkshire) Regiment of Foot who died in the Second Anglo-Afghan War

Yes, the lion statue is called by natives of that town (where I myself was born) the “Forbury Lion” but, as you note, the real name is Maiwand Lion.
