MBS IS FINISHED: THE HOUSE OF SAUD FACES TOTAL COLLAPSE

[“MBS IS FINISHED: THE HOUSE OF SAUD FACES TOTAL COLLAPSE Scott Ritter, former UN weapons inspector and Marine intelligence officer, warns that Mohammed bin Salman has entered a death spiral with no way out. A war launched in 2014 for quick military glory has become a 12-year nightmare that is now physically dismantling Saudi oil production. The American umbrella has failed, allies will not ride to the rescue, and the kingdom is losing decisively. The only remaining question is how fast the collapse arrives.
THE CORE VERDICT
Ritter states the demise of Muhammad bin Salman is inevitable.
“He’s finished.”
If lucky he catches the last gold-plated 747 out of Riyadh to a London hideaway or the United States.
If not, his head is removed by sword amid shouts of Allahu Akbar.
“It’s the end of the House of Saud.”
THE 2014 STRATEGIC ERROR
MBS tried to earn his military spurs with a fast victory over Ansar Allah.
The campaign turned into a 12-year nightmare.
His later decision to expand the war by striking Sanaa airfield only accelerated the destruction.
There is no political off-ramp left and no salvation coming.
THE OIL DESTRUCTION
Ansar Allah is no longer limited to blocking Bab el-Mandeb or hitting pipelines and storage.
They are now attacking production facilities and the wells themselves.
“This is the end of Saudi Arabia.”
Without oil the entire Vision 2030 fantasy collapses into what Ritter calls a Bedouin-infested sand pit with nothing left.
NO ALLIES WILL SAVE HIM
The American security umbrella proved nonfunctional.
Saudi forces are ineffective, overweight, proxy-driven and overmatched.
Pakistan faces massive Imran Khan protests and will not send tens of thousands of troops into a losing desert war.
Turkey has no interest in dying for the Saudis.
The Mecca Pact is a joke of maps and chalkboards with no real troop movement.
THE RIYADH PREDICTION
If MBS is removed and internal fighting follows, Ritter says Ansar Allah columns could drive through the streets of Riyadh.
Saudis have feared this outcome since 1990.
“Saudi Arabia is losing this war decisively. And there’s nothing that can be done to save them.”
The world will experience the same shock that hit when the Shah of Iran fell in 1979.
THE BOTTOM LINE
Scott Ritter sees MBS as toast and the House of Saud heading toward the same abrupt end that surprised everyone in 1979. Energy production is being dismantled, no outside force will intervene, and the collapse is already underway. History is about to deliver a shock that almost no one in the West has priced in.”]
Labour supporters who didn’t really know much about Burnham and were giddy with excitement when he got the job must be nearing the devastated stage about now. The man has been an absolute flop.

[“Historic Milestone in Florida as Over 80 Orthodox Jewish Families Move Into New $100 Million-Plus Community and Schools Open
More than 80 families from New York have moved into Lakefront Estates, where schools have now opened. Dozens more families are expected in the coming weeks, following reported investment of hundreds of millions of dollars in the project.
Located in Glades County near Lake Okeechobee, Lakefront is a purpose-built residential community. The broader development plan calls for up to 1,000 single-family homes and 300 rental units.
The vision goes beyond housing: plans include synagogues, mikvahs, boys’ and girls’ schools, a yeshiva, a kollel, kosher shopping and medical services. Developers are targeting families seeking more space and an alternative to soaring housing costs in established Orthodox neighborhoods.
Hatzalah South Florida has also begun organizing a local branch, meeting with prospective responders who will serve Lakefront. With families arriving and classrooms opening, the focus now shifts from construction to building the services a growing community needs.“]

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 AOL have now deleted their story about Dr. Lola Salem, ex-girlfriend of Michael Gove.
The Daily Telegraph, Daily Mail, GB News and LBC all published news reports that Dr. Salem had been charged with possessing indecent images of children, then deleted it. https://t.co/iZJZmpf7uTpic.twitter.com/913wkIwo8L
It has been suggested that there may now be some variety of superinjunction in place, an injunction which prevents being published even the fact of its existence. I wonder. The msm deletions would seem to support that theory, but how can such an injunction cover even the fact that a woman has not only been charged but has been committed for trial?
Apart from that, I have nothing further to say at this time about Lola Salem and the horrible little degenerate, Gove, having said it all in the past few days on the blog, and previously.

Hero
Major-General Julian Thompson, who commanded 3 Commando Brigade during the Falklands War, on the small boats crisis:
"We could stop them tomorrow if we really had the guts. I'd shot them, sorry but I would."
"We're wet. I think there's going to be a revolution."
“The commander who led the land operation to liberate the Falklands has triggered a furore by saying that boats carrying migrants across the Channel should be machine-gunned.
‘I would shoot them,’ Major-General Julian Thompson told a documentary about mass immigration to Britain.
The Home Office warned today that anyone taking the law into their own hands would face ‘serious criminal consequences’, while the Tories stressed that ‘opening fire on migrant boats would be completely wrong‘
Maj Gen Thompson, 92, who headed 3 Commando Brigade during the conflict, said of the thousands of migrants who land on UK shores each month: ‘We could stop them tomorrow if we really had the guts. I’d shoot them, sorry, but I would.’
Asked if he feared a backlash to his remarks, Maj Gen Thompson said: ‘As long as they don’t come around here, I don’t mind what they do.
‘They come over here and rape our girls. One machine-gun blast is all it would take… then they would get the message. I just want them to bugger off.
‘If they [the Government] don’t stop them then there will be a revolution. Our leaders are just wet.’
He also says Britain is ‘just going downhill’, adding: ‘I’m glad I won’t see it, I’ll be dead.
‘It’s not Britain any more, it’s a sort of funny conglomeration of people, and in a wet country that allows itself to be pushed around all over the place.'”
[Daily Mail]
General Thompson is quite right.
The General has earned the right, at age 92 and with his distinguished military background, to speak the truth regardless of the untruths all around the issues commented upon.
I had never heard of the defendant, Lola May Salem. Turns out that she is of Jewish or part-Jewish background, having written in The Critic magazine that, when a child in Nanterre, a low-income banlieue near Paris inhabited by many North Africans, her brother experienced “anti-Semitism”.
It may well be, speculating a little, that this Lola Salem is of pied-noir origin. Google AI has this: “A Pied-Noir (plural: Pieds-Noirs, meaning literally “black foot” in French) is a person of European descent—including French, Spanish, Italian, Maltese, and Sephardic Jewish origins—who was born or lived in French-ruled Algeria during the colonial period from 1830 to 1962.“
Many pieds-noirs who left Algeria in the early 1960s were of Jewish origin.
One can only imagine what that woman saw in Gove. Someone wealthy and still influential, one supposes. Fairly big age-gap (26 years: she is 33, he 59). Still, these things happen.
Incidentally, the restaurant where Lola Salem and Gove indulged in seafood and public displays of affection seems to have been Sheekey’s [https://j-sheekey.co.uk/our-history/], off St. Martin’s Lane in London. I used to walk past there occasionally. and always thought to try it out, but never did.
Regular readers of the blog will be aware that one of the 5 tweets that got me disbarred in 2016 at the behest of the Jewish lobby (specifically “UK Lawyers for Israel”/”UKLFI” and, in the shadows, the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism”/”CAA”) was that describing Gove in some such terms as a dishonest expenses cheat and fraud, and puppet of the Jewish/Israel lobby. All true, but that did not save me from a wrongful (and, it later turned out, actually unlawful) disbarment.
At that time (2016), I was unaware that Gove was also a cocaine abuser and, at times, a shambling drunk as well. That only emerged into public view later. He was even filmed on House of Commons TV staggering drunkenly into the Chamber, scarcely able to stand up, but the tweets showing that (I think, YouTube footage too) have disappeared. “They” must look after their puppets.
Well, I cannot comment on the Lola Salem criminal matter as such, firstly because it is now sub judice, but also because I know nothing about it anyway, and first heard of the matter —and the defendant herself— only a few hours ago.
I wonder whether Gove himself was questioned. Perhaps it will come out at the Lola Salem trial; we shall have to wait and see.
The Jewish thing seems to hang around Gove like a clinging cloud of smog. I have never been able to discover for sure the background of Gove’s estranged wife, Sarah Vine (they are separated but not yet divorced; something to do with “paperwork”, apparently…). I have my suspicions, but her origins seem shrouded in mystery.
Gove and Sarah Vine were married in 2001 (in France) and stayed together until 2022. 21 years of marriage. There has never been given, publicly, any specific reason why they split, which was apparently at Sarah Vine’s instigation. I believe that the split happened prior to Gove’s mesalliance or misalliance with Lola Salem, so what was the triggering event?
In fact, it was the Jewish lobby that got Gove into Parliament as an MP in the first place (he is now yet another absurd “lord” in the degraded House of Lords, and Editor of the Spectator). He remains a complete doormat for the Jewish lobby and for Israel.
Tweets seen
She has written of her brother being bullied in school for being jewish.
The mainstream media are now trying to hide the whole story, even the Daily Mail, which at first splashed it. The (((usual))) mob, of course. For example, the System scribbler Dan Hodges, usually prolific on Twitter/X, has not mentioned the case at all.
You see it whenever the Jew-Zionist lobby wants to cover up something (or amplify something, for that matter).
For example, when dishonest and incompetent solicitor, Mark Lewis was fined and censured by the Tribunal under the Solicitors Regulation Authority in 2018. At first, there was nothing at all about it in the msm, not prior to “trial”, and nothing afterwards but Jews complaining about how “unfair” the process and sentence had been.
In fact, the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal bent over backwards to be fair to Lewis (now a wheelchair-bound invalid who lives in Israel much of the time) and even reduced his fine to a third or a quarter of what it would otherwise have been because Lewis’s own pro bono Counsel told the Tribunal that Lewis had no assets at all beyond his own clothes, a private pension worth £70 per week, and a used mobility scooter. No money in the bank. No real property. Nothing.
Even Lewis’s car (one adapted for invalids) was one provided to him via the DWP Motability scheme (until he crashed into someone and, after that, ceased to drive).
Ecce the great defamation lawyer…
The point is that the Jew-Zionist/Israel lobby effectively controls or very strongly influences almost all those who scribble for newspapers, edit them, or own them.
I was just looking at Twitter/X. The Lola Salem/Gove matter is not mentioned by Dan Hodges, Andrew Neil, Robert Peston, BBC News, Sky News etc, you name it. News blackout.
Yes, the criminal matter is now sub judice, but even the bare facts of the matter that would be reportable are not in fact being reported.
It is strange how it's now so hard to now find a MSM article running the story of Lola Salem.

He sits on a parking chair and watches the people coming and going. One day, a white kitten came to the park. She was very cute, but it turned out that she was blind. She kept bumping into things and didn’t react to sounds at all.
She didn’t seem very lively when she was alone, but she wasn’t lonely either. The Tom cat noticed her and started staying close to her. Wherever he went, he would walk in front of her so that she would bump into him. He took good care of her.
He would lead her to wherever he was, adjusting his speed so she could follow properly.
Whenever he would go to the road’s other side, he would cover her with his body.
Whenever it rained, he would take the kitten to a safe place and then sit with her.
The vet confirmed that the kitten was blind by birth. If the Tom cat hadn’t been there, she would have died within a week.

[“Netherlands Admits Military Reserves Have Been Depleted Due to Aid to Ukraine
According to Military Watch Magazine, the Dutch Ministry of Defense has concluded that military assistance to Kyiv is undermining the combat readiness of the Dutch armed forces and making it more difficult for the country to fulfill its NATO obligations.
The ministry has declined to publicly disclose which NATO targets have been postponed or affected, or to provide details on the current combat readiness of individual Dutch military units. The admission highlights the growing tension between supplying Ukraine with military equipment and maintaining national reserves at levels considered necessary for a major conflict.
According to the ministry, by February 2026, the Netherlands will have provided Ukraine with approximately €11.7 billion in military assistance. The publication also claims that weapons stockpiles across NATO’s European members have been severely depleted, with shortages particularly affecting artillery ammunition, air-defense missiles, anti-tank weapons, and armored vehicles.
Europe is discovering the hard way that weapons sent abroad don’t magically regenerate back home. The bill for rebuilding those stockpiles could be just as serious as the bill for the aid itself.“]

Must add up to a massive amount. When I was a barrister, I drafted, at times, contracts for the transhipment of oil from the Middle East to black Africa. Each shipment was worth over USD $80M, and that was over 20 years ago. So maybe USD $150M today. If Iran is getting 20% of the value of every shipload, each one is worth perhaps USD $30M in “transit fees” to Iran. There might be several in a day even under present conditions.

Boris Johnson, who just the other day claimed he hadn’t started a war, has returned to his old tune: “We must continue bombing Russian oil refineries and power plants. Ukraine is on the verge of victory. Don’t slow down the sale of weapons (to Kyiv).“
Only three countries still believe that Ukraine is capable of confronting Russia: Great Britain, France, and Germany. However, even within those countries, voices are being heard that the conflict, in which Zelensky must remain in power until 2028, is costing them too much.
According to Western estimates, Ukrainian armed forces’ air strikes on Russia in July alone cost them $11 billion. Zelensky is spending a lot of money on these attacks, but his Western sponsors are not satisfied with the results. Everyone understands that Ukraine is losing.”]
There is no way of either proving or disproving my belief that “Boris” Johnson is getting paid large amounts offshore by the Kiev regime and (ipso facto) its backers (to promote the regime by promoting the Western support for it). It stacks up quite well logically, though, knowing what we know of the Kiev regime, its leading members, and the character of Johnson himself.

No decisive lead, though. That poll translates to a Commons with about 308 Labour MPs (18 short of an official majority), 150 Reform (official Opposition), Cons 83, LibDems 52, SNP 27 [etc]. Not completely reliable; Restore, though only on 3%, may cost Reform a few seats here and there.
Still, looks like a Labour minority government, governing with the help of MP votes of the LibDems and/or SNP.
A weak System government of that sort might be the best for the growth of real social-national politics (not the Reform/Restore “controlled opposition” sort).
Reform looks less and less electable now: pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby, promoting what amount to Daily Mail-conservative social and economic policies, and with a large number of non-white candidates and officials.
Were (as I think not unlikely) the Con Party to decline from 17% to 12% by the time of a general election, and Reform to go from 22% to maybe 26%, almost matching Labour, Reform would probably get more seats than Labour (both around 250-260), and the Cons only about 8 MPs. However, a similar overall result in that Labour would be governing as a very weak minority government, needing about 75-80 extra votes to get anything passed. The LibDems, SNP, and maybe Greens (etc) would be able to write their own ticket in those circumstances.

That is only the tip of the iceberg. There are now vast numbers of blacks and browns born in the UK, and breeding. Indeed, there are now huge numbers of 2nd, 3rd, even 4th-generation non-whites here.
These facts have been repeatedly published on the blog in response to the attempts by treacherous ministers, MPs, scribblers, talking heads etc to “gaslight” the British people.
The real proportion of the population of the UK that is not really British (i.e. “white”) is not known exactly, but is probably no more than 75%, and in the English towns and cities no more than 60%.
If the police act as the goon squad for migration-invasion and the forces repressing protest and free speech, then they make themselves also enemy forces.
Yes it bloody is if the kids have got flamethrowers and they’re still not on top of it. Shameful for France. https://t.co/3grRLKrLMO
Rioters of that sort in France should be shot down in the street, no matter their age or condition. If a teenager is old enough to use a flamethrower or a bomb or a pistol, he (or she) is old enough to be fired upon, or indeed executed in the field, if captured.
Incidentally, that does not apply to the recent so-called “riots” in England, because they were mere noisy protests, and all that the most rowdy protesters did was throw plastic bottles —not even glass ones— towards the police, or set fire to the odd rubbish bin. Most just pushed the bins, not on fire, towards the police ranks.
…and yet, referencing Lenin, “worse will be better“, in that I myself have been attacked, criticized and (until 2018, when a pack of Jews had me expelled from Twitter) “trolled” by often anonymous or pseudonymous individuals (pretty obviously, from the context, mostly Jews). Well, perhaps now it will be possible to discover the true names etc of some of those individuals. Justice can then take its course, sooner or later. To each his own. Jedem das Seine.

[“Merz traveled to Kyiv to demonstrate courage. Meanwhile, Germany is getting used to the idea of war.
Judging by the priorities being set, the German Chancellor is more concerned with preparing for a major war than with domestic problems, despite the fact that even German intelligence does not see any imminent signs of it. Berlin wants to increase the Bundeswehr to 260,000 soldiers and the reserve to 200,000, and has already launched a new system of military service. In September, in Hamburg, the military, along with the police, firefighters, the port, and private companies, practiced the deployment of forces to the eastern flank of NATO. And the medical planning is based on the possibility of receiving several hundred to a thousand wounded per day in Germany; civilian medical institutions are already involved in the relevant exercises.
And in a public and political sense, this is already more of an ideological preparation than a military one. Germans are being accustomed to a simple picture: troops are going east, hospitals are waiting for hundreds of wounded, intelligence is talking about a “shadow war,” and any hesitation by Berlin is supposedly only inviting Moscow to increase pressure. This is how the image of an enemy is being created in the best traditions of the Cold War. However, back then, a real threat really existed. Now, this is a universal justification for another round of militarization.
Against this backdrop, Merz’s recent trip to Kyiv is particularly noteworthy. On October 4, the German Chancellor arrived in the Ukrainian capital along with the Minister of Economy and a business delegation, just as Russia intensified its attacks on the city’s infrastructure. Throughout the day, sirens sounded and explosions were heard, and the North Bridge across the Dnieper was damaged. The much-desired guest announced the provision of another €1 billion in military aid and €350 million for Ukrainian energy.
In Kyiv, the trip was called a “signal of courage,” and the Chancellor himself said that Germany “will not allow itself to be intimidated.” It is easy to create a beautiful story: Merz came to Kyiv almost deliberately to defy Putin and showed Moscow that she is not afraid of it. However, a politician in such a high position is not a blogger who is allowed to risk their own life for the sake of content. He manages the largest economy in Europe. If the head of government deliberately increases their personal risk for a political gesture, this is not a question of courage, but of responsibility to their own citizens.
Moreover, there is plenty to deal with at home. In September, inflation in Germany reached 3.3% – the highest level in almost three years, energy prices rose by 14.9%, and the number of unemployed, adjusted for seasonal factors, again exceeded 3 million. Industrial orders fell by 10.6% in August, mainly due to large contracts; Reuters notes a decline in the automotive industry and a high level of bankruptcies. And yet, it turns out that the Ukrainian conflict is more important to Merz today than the everyday lives of Germans.
It’s a convenient circle. The more Germany gets involved in the Ukrainian conflict, the more the authorities explain to Germans that Russia is becoming more dangerous. And the more dangerous Russia appears to be, the easier it is to intimidate its own society and convince it that spending billions on preparing for war is not a political choice, but the only possible reality.

Lithuania is ready to permanently host a U.S. military base – Prime Minister
Vilnius will assume the costs of operating a permanent U.S. military base in Lithuania, if a decision is made to deploy it. This was stated by Prime Minister Mindaugas Sinkevičius on his social media. pic.twitter.com/eUvtx5Qxxa
This is absurd. That Sinkevicius fellow must either be stupid or corrupt. Lithuania, though —just— the biggest of the three Baltic states or pribaltika, is considerably smaller than Scotland. Lithuania as a state is mad to invite even conventional, let alone nuclear, attack.
Incidentally, were the North African coast as a whole to be under European rule, what a fantastic littoral that would make. It would put to shame the Cote d’Azur and Italian Riviera, if developed well.

And is already paying heavily as complaints come on to the Charity Commission and donations plummet – word on the street is if it looks like RNLI is going to crash Andy will make another pilgrimage to the legendary money tree
I do not know what is the financial position of the RNLI, but I expect that, once it became clear that the RNLI was ferrying migrant-invaders to our shores, the “useful idiots” of Twitter/X and Blue Sky Social all donated but, at the same time, millions or ordinary British people who oppose the migration-invasion of our country switched off. I suspect that the latter effect will be greater over time.
The RNLI is but one of many British institutions, both governmental and non-governmental, that have been captured by the forces of decadence and treachery over the past 30 years.

Britain has entered a state of anarcho-tyranny. It cannot fulfil its most basic tasks, like controlling the border, while it is now using things like Section 34 to restrict its own people from protesting against this failure. What Gosport reveals ⬇️https://t.co/jMIEEPaw2F
Societies fall apart when citizens no longer think the state is legitimate. This is what many British people are starting to think. They see a state that appears more interested in facilitating illegal migration than looking after its own citizens. And that is very dangerous.
Whatever one may think of Burnham and/or his announced policies, those Conservative Party rank-and-file members are really weird, with one or two exceptions, arguably (the blonde woman and the old man who distrusts “Fabianss”, though even they seem slightly “not all there”, with the blonde regarding arrogant and wrongheaded Kemi Badenoch as her great black hope). Several interviewees are non-white, and —as has been the case for many years— the young English ones are like wet-behind-the-ears geeks or nerds out of a TV sitcom, or youthful copies of Michael Gove. Utterly pathetic.
I myself think that Con Party support, presently around 17% or so, will decline to 15% or even 12% within a few years, well within the maximum range of this Parliament. The late middle-aged and elderly (both the mainstay of the Conservative vote and almost half of those that vote at all) are defecting to Reform or elsewhere. Many are dying off, too. That might leave the Con Party with only a handful of MPs next time around.
Make the change in your life to become more self sufficient. Join with others creating parallel systems that work in our favour.

The point is that even an “Iron Dome” (or “Britannia Shield”) would not —could not— protect the UK from missiles (I suppose the idiots are talking about Russian ones), if only because Russia has 7,000 nuclear weapons alone (mostly, I think, missiles), let alone non-nuclear ones. Most are too fast to be intercepted by any presently-available anti-missile-missiles.

Labour would rather take money from British pensioners than stop spending billions on foreigners.
That is a political choice.
Reform UK will slash welfare for foreigners, slash foreign aid, and put British pensioners first. pic.twitter.com/IQnBVgTNOD
Whatever the arguments, the fact is that pensioners will be worse-off under Labour after 2030 (when Burnham says the Triple Lock will go) and, quite possibly, before then. Result? 99% of pensioners (a third of the electorate, and maybe as much as 50% of the actually-voting electorate) will not be voting Labour. Largely but not just because of the Triple Lock being dumped. It is the whole direction of travel.
Late tweets
Most of the pensioner cohort don’t vote Labour anyway. Labour support in 65+ year olds currently at 12%. https://t.co/4eOByY5LEv
That funny woman tweeter is obsessed with, inter alia, cutting off Triple Lock money going to pensioners. Yes, only 12% of people of 65+ years vote Labour. That will now shrink to about 1%-2%, I expect. That means that 98% of those 65+ will vote somewhere other than Labour. Probably Reform, most of them.
The point, though, previously also made on the blog, is that people aged 65+ mostly actually vote. The other age-groups vote in far smaller numbers, proportionately.
The 65+ age group is about a third of the electorate, and must be at least 40% of those that actually turn out to vote (or vote via postal ballot). Maybe even 50%
Labour will therefore not be getting the votes of anything up to 50% of the total of those (of all ages) that vote, even before taking into consideration the votes of the <65 age groups.
Burnham-Labour has already alienated the under-24 age group by the recently-announced benefit cuts and changes.
Anything can happen in politics, but it would take a near-miracle for Labour to get to 35% of the poll, and that is surely their minimum if they want to be sure of a Commons majority.
That latest poll translates to a Commons with about 342 Labour MPs (so a majority of seats), 155 Reform (official Opposition), 55 Cons, 51 LibDems, and 20 SNP [etc].
Uncertain now how accurate such predictions are. Restore may only be getting 3% of the opinion poll votes, but that is enough to badly damage Reform in marginal seats. As to Labour, I doubt whether its present relative popularity will continue, but there is no doubt that many of Burnham’s recently-announced policies are quite popular:
Burnham’s housing policies are the clearest vote winners from his conference announcements while changes to the pension triple lock have the least support. pic.twitter.com/7wKdZQ8m0B
I myself agree with all but three of the policies listed there.
My feeling right now is that Reform, though so disappointing (pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby, pro-finance-capitalism and —in some respects— globalism, is still the main game in town in terms of at least pseudo-national populism. I can see many more presently Conservative votes going to Reform.
If I am right, and the Con vote reduces to, say 12% by 2028/2029, and the Reform vote rises to, say, 30%, then the post-election picture would be very different: that would give Labour maybe 265 MPs (far short of a majority), and Reform would have more MPs than Lab, 281. The LibDems would be on 53, the SNP 23, Greens 3 and the Con Party only 2. Near-wipeout. That would effectively finish off the Con Party.
As to government, Reform would be unable to form even a workable minority government despite having a plurality of MPs, but Labour would just about be able to function as a minority government with LibDem and SNP [etc] support.
Yet another Tory position I hate and I grew up very rurally, on horses and I live there now. I gave the Countryside Alliance march a swerve in 2002, one of the few Tories to do so. Support the hunting of beautiful foxes? Foul. 🦊
I agree with that lady tweeter on that subject. For many years I broadly supported foxhunting as a colourful historical spectacle with long roots in England, but for many years now I have strongly opposed it (and most other field sports) by reason of my love for animals and, in minor key, also my dislike of, or distaste for, all foxhunters that I have ever met (at least as an adult).

I happened to see a travel show presented by an American of whom I had not previously heard, one Stanley Tucci [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_Tucci]. Apparently a well-known film-maker and actor (well, I cannot know everything…). A New Yorker whose grandparents or great-grandparents emigrated from Calabria to America before the Second World War or, possibly, before the First World War.
It seems that the show was made in 2021, so 5+ years ago.
The programme showed him in Tuscany, then in Sicily. Mostly about the Italian regional cuisine(s). Not terribly dull, though hardly riveting, but of course this is an area covered many times in similar vein (think Rick Stein, Jamie Oliver, and many others).
When in Sicily, this Tucci expressed the view that immigration improves any society! Very wrongheaded. What many now call a “luxury belief” held by those (usually the affluent) who prefer not to see the downsides of mass immigration from backward parts of the world such as black Africa, North Africa etc.
Even without having to hear his wrongheaded views about the migration-invasion of Italy, I have to say that I found the aforesaid Tucci not someone to whom I warmed. He lacked the charm of some similar TV tourists.
Never mind. It filled an empty hour.

“English” (or Japanese, or Chinese, or whatever) is not a mere label, which an individual can stick on themselves and claim to be properly descriptive.
I was born in England of two English parents (and am believed —plausibly but not definitely— to have one German great-grandfather). I am, and have every right to call myself, English.
My wife is English, born of two English parents (one Norwegian grandparent). She was, however, born in the 1950s in the then Tanganyika (now Tanzania), which at the time was a British colony. She came to the UK (to live) aged 14. That does not make her “Tanzanian”, or African!
If someone black or brown is born in the UK, in England, that person is not English or even (passport notwithstanding) British. The person concerned is not English/British but something else, even if born/brought up etc in the UK. Someone such as Kemi Badenoch, who was born in London of 1981 of two Nigerian parents (while they were on a flying visit to make sure that she was born in the UK, which fact —at the time— gave her, under English law, the right to a British passport later in life).
Kemi Badenoch is not English and, in real terms (despite having that “scammed” passport), is not British either.
Kemi Badenoch in fact only came to (or came back to) the UK aged 16-17. She was not even brought up here, and her attitudes are foreign, not that that in itself is determinative.
It would be absurd for me to say “I am Chinese“, even if living in China and having lived there my whole life, even if born there; indeed, even had I a Chinese passport.
Logic alone makes the case, but many of our treacherous scribblers, TV/radio talking heads, and MPs, wilfully refuse to see it.

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.
In the triple lock era the 2.5% has been invoked 4 times, without it SP would have risen 74%, with it 80%. Inflation will likely run over 2.5% for years so removing it would solve nothing and cost votes. It won't fund a care service.
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.
Can someone explain how, a few hours before the Prime Minister’s conference speech, you simultaneously have Ministers briefing the Government is 100% committed to the triple lock, and No.10 briefing it’s going to be abolished. https://t.co/UWaqVGyezq

[“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.

SNAP POLL / By 48% to 28%, Britons support Andy Burnham's proposal to change the triple lock in order to help fund part of a national care service pic.twitter.com/ErsXcAQQkC
What Burnham and Labour have failed to understand is that, yes, maybe “only” 28% of voters oppose dumping the Triple Lock, but almost all of those are people over 60 y-o.
About a third of the electorate (not the whole population 0-100) is now aged 65+; probably 40% or more are aged 60+. In other words, it can be inferred that a very high percentage of those aged 60+, and almost all of those aged 65+, oppose dumping the Triple Lock. These are the people who always vote (admittedly, I myself am an exception). If 28% of eligible voters are against dumping the Triple Lock, then probably about 40% of voters who are actually going to vote oppose these proposals.
I think that Labour will find that much of their support among the over 60s, maybe also over-50s, will fall away now. Why? Because those getting or about to get the State Pension are really interested in what happens to the Triple Lock, whereas younger people, whatever their views, are naturally not going to be so interested, so their approval of Burnham’s plans is not very important politically, electorally; they have other issues of importance to them.
One point to bear in mind is that the official inflation figures do not reflect the real state of play. Inflation is usually far higher than the official figures suggest, and that particularly applies to the staples that poorer people, and many pensioners in particular, buy regularly.
If you honestly believe that scrapping the tripple lock will fund or go toward social care your diluded. Thats money taken off pensioners wont go nowhere near social care!
That last tweeter may be unable to spell but, of course, is correct. Money taken from pensioners will go to, inter alia, “Ukraine” (the Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev), importing and then sheltering and feeding millions of useless black/brown parasites, supporting the USA’s overseas adventures, and then on a myriad projects most of which will not benefit either older or younger (real) British people.
Not content with having the lowest state pension in Europe, we are now aiming to be *world beating* in poverty among people who – through circumstances often beyond their control – have no private pensions. Unlike all the eejits voting for and clapping this.
[“NEWS: The Islamist organisation 5 Pillars has reported John Cleese to the Prevent Programme after John made factual, accurate and valid statements about Islam
John’s statements on Islam:
“To criticise a culture whose holy book advocates the killing of all the people they disagree with…is not racist. It’s culturalist.”
“traditional British values are under attack from Muslim belief systems, especially the Koranic demands to kill ‘infidels’.”
“I personally prefer a culture that does not approve of Female Genital Mutilation, Child Marriage and Killing Infidels.”
“Another religious diktat from the Pro-Paedophila Propaganda Department.”
5 Pillars are a vile organisation who should not exist in the UK
We value freedom of speech and expression especially when it comes to criticising ideologies or religions.“]
In fact, John Cleese need not worry about being arrested. If the initial referral to Prevent is then passed to police, and if that initial screening reveals no security threat or “danger of radicalization” (i.e. which might lead to “terrorist” activity), the police close the file, though in some cases may refer the matter to mental health services to to the so-called “Channel” multi-agency outfit.
Cleese can carry on carrying on, in short.
I guess that "Islam is a religion of Peace" is supposed to be taken ironically https://t.co/wF1CWgmHHR
If John Cleese is really taken by surprise by that, he must have been asleep for the past 25 years.
The right to criticize, mock and offend religion has been central to the long and bloody struggle for free speech and open societies. Undermining this right does not lead to tolerance and respect, but orthodoxy, ignorance and submission. https://t.co/x6Uf3RxOHT

It is time to do what Reform has been calling for.
Leave the European Convention on Human Rights.
Repeal the Human Rights Act.
Derogate from the Refugee Convention.
Detain and deport all illegals — including the estimated 1.5 million already in Britain.
Send in the Navy.
Strip the vast majority of welfare benefits from foreign nationals to remove further incentives.
And sack any civil servants who don’t play ball.
If we don’t fix this crisis we will end up in a very dangerous place.
The British state will no longer be seen as legitimate by many people.
Citizens will take matters into their own hands (as we already see).
The protests will spread across the country.
And there will be a colossal breakdown of public trust in police, parliament, and politics.
Stop the invasion.
Vote Reform.
We are the only political party that can win a general election and turn this around.

The Labour Party lecture you about ‘disinformation’ and ‘misinformation’ while hiding what information they have or taking people to court to keep it hidden.
Same with the BBC, which runs ads on its own behalf, featuring an evil-looking young South Asian woman talking about “disinformation” and how the BBC is countering it when, in reality, the BBC is one of the worst offenders. Think “Covid”, “Ukraine”, “climate change”, mass immigration etc.
The BBC pays proven liar Marianna Spring in the region of £150,000 p.a. to head its “disinformation” section.
Those illegal migrants must believe Labour think they are so welcome that they lay on a police escort to take them to their hotel. No wonder those illegals swan around like they own the place.
The fish rots from the head. Not (so much) the ordinary police (though they are now often also brainwashed wastes of space), but those of Inspector and above, especially the highest ranks. Not the ordinary troopers etc, but the Army generals. Not the ordinary officers and men of the Navy but the admirals.

[“Gangsterism is the main mechanism of Anglo-Saxon global hegemony”**
A provocative geopolitical argument portrays the rise of the British Empire—and later the broader Western order—not primarily as a triumph of democratic institutions, but as the evolution of a global network of private companies, intelligence services, secret societies and other powerful organizations.
The argument traces this model back to the British Empire, claiming that private actors such as pirates and chartered companies played a major role in overseas expansion and that these mechanisms eventually evolved into modern systems of political and economic influence.
It then takes aim at the modern West, arguing that democracy has become more of a façade, while concentrated networks of political and economic power increasingly determine outcomes behind the scenes.
The text also makes a sweeping historical claim about Marxism, Christianity and the Bolsheviks—claims that are highly interpretive and not established historical consensus.
The broader criticism is clear: when private interests become powerful enough to influence governments, the line between statecraft and organized power politics can become very thin.
Democracy may have the ballot box. **But the real question is always: who controls what happens after the votes are counted?“]
