Reform’s flaw is really that it is not social-national and (therefore) is in the pocket of the Jewish/Israeli lobby. Part of that is the Farage/Tice belief in money and “markets” etc, i.e. finance-capitalism. Public services are not really very interesting to them.
That being so, Reform will not get beyond 40% in the opinion polls or the real polls, and may struggle to get over 30% at the next GE.
Having said that, the opinion poll cited there by Hodges would still translate to a Commons with about 345 Reform MPs (good majority), 77 Greens (weak official Opposition), 71 LibDems, 59 Cons, 45 SNP, 27 Lab [etc]…
Merz is of course an NWO/ZOG traitor (Verrater), who is implementing the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan, that of flooding Europe with non-Europeans.
I notice that the “new” plan is to settle the 400,000 Arabs in the very German states, in the East, where the AfD, Dritte Weg etc are most powerful, such as Saxony and Brandenburg. The idea? To dilute the voting and influence of real Germans.

[“Iran has raised the stakes in this war.
Tehran launched a massive ballistic missile salvo toward Tel Aviv, including heavy Khorramshahr-4 “Khaibar” missiles built to carry huge warheads and blow past air defenses with pure speed.
Israel’s Iron Dome and Arrow interceptors were going hard, but some missiles still got through.
Impacts hit near Ben Gurion Airport and the 27th Air Force Base, forcing a full shutdown of Israel’s main international airport and leaving at least 2 people dead.
And that is kind of the whole point. Ben Gurion is Israel’s main gateway to the world.
Hitting it does not just look dramatic. It messes with travel, logistics, and military movement all at once.
When airports and strategic hubs start taking hits, it usually means the war is moving into a much more serious phase.

[“Israeli morale in this war is showing a significant amount of strain. Far more than in previous rounds. This is why:
1) About 30% of the population lacks adequate shelter/protected spaces
2) Northern reconstruction is moving slowly while coalition funds go toward draft exemptions
3) Politicians feed the public empty slogans (“total victory,” “generational deterrence”) that create unrealistic expectations and when unmet, they breed cynicism and despair
4) The IDF keeps claiming it destroyed the ability of Hezbollah and Iran to shoot missiles at Israel and yet the attacks continue unabated
5) After more than two years of continuous or repeated deployment, reservists are facing “unprecedented burnout”. In 2024, combat reservists served an average of 136 days, with some exceeding 300 days. This has caused significant strain on marriages, careers, and small businesses.
6) Public frustration has peaked over the government’s continued focus on Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) draft exemptions. This sense of “inequality of burden” deeply embitters the secular and national-religious sectors, who feel they are paying the price in blood and economic stability while others are legally excused
7) Experts describe the current situation as the country’s biggest-ever mental health crisis. PTSD diagnoses among troops rose by 70% monthly throughout 2024, and one in five people in the general population now suffers from severe functional impairment due to mental health issues
8) The cost of the endless wars is estimated to reach 500 billion shekels ($160 billion) over five years. This leads to budget cuts in education, welfare, and infrastructure to fund the defense deficit, directly impacting the daily quality of life for the average citizen
9) The feeling of becoming a “pariah state” weighs on morale. Polls show that 58% of Israelis believe their country is not respected internationally, contributing to a sense of “us against the world” that, while unifying for some, creates a sense of dread about the country’s long-term future.
All of this is leading to more weakness and bitterness in Israeli society than ever before. It is unclear how much more of this endless war it can take before things start to unravel.”]

I could not verify the claim made by “Sprinter Press” about the USS Abraham Lincoln abandoning the Gulf after, supposedly, being hit by Iranian missiles. I hope it is true, but let´s not forget that in every war, both sides lie to boost the morale of their troops.

Claudius:
We are obviously getting incomplete information about the damage on the American-Israeli side, including damage in the UAE. The Gulf Arabs and Israelis are imposing heavy censorship. While Israel is obviously not suffering very heavy damage across the board, the damage it is suffering (eg attacks on ben-Gurion Airport) have strategic effects well out of proportion to the quantum of physical damage occurring.
