Translates to a Commons with about 228 Reform MPs (potentially fewer, by reason of Restore, though Restore is itself on a mere 3%; the model I use has not yet added Restore).
So anyway Reform 98 short of a majority. 217 Labour MPs, 71 LibDems, 69 Cons (so near-irrelevant; unable even to make an arrangement with Reform). SNP 30 [etc].
A weak minority government at best. Might lead to a second election not long after. Good, though, for social-nationalism.
I blogged about all that yesterday. Flagging the removal of the Triple Lock will mean almost all pensioners who might have voted Labour (a smallish minority anyway) will not now vote Labour.
As a personality, Burnham is, arguably, marginally or even somewhat to be preferred to Starmer-stein, but Burnham seems equally clueless.
[“Belarusian cargo heads to China via Russia’s Northern Sea Route
A vessel carrying 77,000 tons of Belarusian cargo has departed Russia’s Ust-Luga port, beginning a voyage to northeastern China via the Northern Sea Route.
The ship is bound for Baiyuan port and is expected to arrive on October 13.
The voyage highlights the growing use of Russia’s Arctic shipping corridor for trade between Europe and Asia, offering an alternative to traditional maritime routes.
77,000 tons, one Arctic route — and another sign that global trade is being rerouted.”]
[“**Kyiv is becoming a frontline city** *The Washington Post* reports that **Kyiv is increasingly resembling a frontline city**, as Russian drone strikes reportedly target facilities linked to Ukraine’s military infrastructure. The attacks are also causing disruption and destruction in the capital, prompting renewed concern over civilian areas and essential infrastructure. The report comes amid continued fighting and Kyiv’s ongoing appeals to Western allies for **more funding and air-defense missiles**. With winter approaching, Ukraine faces another major challenge: **protecting critical infrastructure while keeping the capital functioning under sustained attacks.** **Kyiv is fighting the war at the front — and increasingly, the front is coming to Kyiv.**”]
[“Nigel Farage and I have been referenced in a “hate crime conference” for police officers, which took issue with people questioning the hate marches and the extent of Muslim integration in Britain, the Telegraph reports. Specifically, the Muslim speaker criticised the fact that I dared to share a survey on @GBNEWS showing large numbers of British people question whether Islam really is compatible with British life. Apparently, that is not allowed. Sorry, but this is what we in the West call “free speech”, “free expression”, and “debate”. While Andy Burnham’s Labour is fast-tracking Orwellian measures to shut down these debates, those of us in the Common Sense Majority will never stop having them. And why is the increasingly woke police being given openly biased training sessions like this?
Tell you what. I would happily come along to the “York and North Yorkshire Hate Conference” to share my views and provide a bit of balance. If the organisers are reading, send me a note.“]
The police have been behaving like compliant brainwashed clowns for the past 20+ years. They roll up to “conferences” of that sort, and allow themselves to be ranted at, either by Islamists, or by non-white “multikultis”, or by malicious Jews of the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” type (despite the fact that the main personalities of the “CAA” are proven liars and perjurers).
The police as a poundshop Stasi. It has to stop. Get them back doing their proper job(s).
It is in the interest of the police themselves to stop. if not, then when push comes to shove they will share the fate of Britain’s treacherous MPs, scribblers, talking heads, and other riff-raff.
