Well, this week 5/10, same as political journalist John Rentoul. I knew the answers to questions 4, 5, 6, 9, and 10. In the back of my mind, I think I might have scored on question 1, too, but did not.
I have written about Cuba previously (use search box if interested), but this report by a (formerly?) pro-Cuba and maybe pro-Castro Scotsman who has lived there for years is well worth reading.
Of course, it is almost trite to say that Cuba is on the point of collapse, because that has been said for the past 35 years, but it now seems inevitable, either from implosion or via American intervention.

It’s the third position which is very centrist in a political sense.

Jews talking about killing all Palestinian Arabs in Gaza (etc) and then settling the cleared areas with Jew settlers or colonizers. A fully-Jewish “final solution”…
Genocide and then settlement by Jews, in plain language. Jew lawyers in the UK, USA etc may argue, in their Talmudic way, about whether Jews have or have not engaged in “genocide” in Gaza, but just look at the place now! Does it matter what label Jews or others place on what has been done?
Actually, from the Israeli point of view, the “crime” of the Palestinian Arab operatives on 7 October 2023 was not the killing of hundreds of Jewish revellers and military personnel (many of which were actually killed by Israeli forces, implementing free-fire protocols, anyway), but to have successfully invaded “Israeli” territory. That pierced the Israeli feeling of invulnerability.
I admit that I myself was taken by surprise; I would previously have doubted that the Arabs could pull off an operation like that (and keep the plans secret).
In fact, I think that Netanyahu and his cabal may have known of the 2023 attack on Israel in advance, and let it go ahead (in the manner of Roosevelt and Pearl Harbor), because it provided a good excuse to ethnically cleanse Gaza (just as Pearl Harbor provided the excuse to get the USA into war with Germany, via its Japanese ally).

Another —possibly historic— defeat, not only for the Starmer-stein Labour Friends of Israel misgovernment, but also for the “fifth column” Jewish/Zionist lobby itself. One of a string of defeats for them recently.
BREAKING: WE WON.
The High Court ruled the Palestine Action ban is unlawful as it is disproportionate to free speech and the Home Secretary breached her own policy.
The court ordered the ban be quashed. Details of lifting the ban will be decided and completed at a later date.
As I blogged at the time, it was and is ridiculous to label anyone holding up a placard or shouting a slogan as, in effect, a “terrorist”. It devalues the whole concept of what a “terrorist” is, or is perceived to be. Bad law. Bad policy. Bad political judgment.
Apparently, the Government will be appealing, however.
People are getting sick of Jewish/Zionist “lawfare”, the abuse of UK law and process to impose political repression on people. Two of the most notorious cabals (in effect, in practice, volunteer arms of the Israeli Embassy in London) are the malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] and “UK Lawyers for Israel” [UKLFI]. They suborn politicians, woodentopped police, CPS “fat ladies” etc, and try to have those opposed to Israel and/or Jewish supremacy prosecuted by police/CPS; failing that, they engage in private prosecutions, as with several recent failed cases, such as the Reginald D. Hunter case.
In this new interview, Zoe Rogers, the acquitted Palestine Action activist, describes how they were faced with immediate violence from the security guards after entering the Elbit Systems factory in Filton.

“It’s a complaint culture” and those on the far left backing extremism from Marxists and socialists, along with Islamists are calling the shots. https://t.co/u3OuQMHUlG
Ha ha! Jew-Zionists and/or pro-Zionists complaining about a “complaint culture” when I, among many others, have been subjected to many many complaints by Jews, in my case wanting to shut down my then Twitter account (they actually succeeded in doing that, in 2018, despite my thousands of Twitter “followers”), and my blog (no, that is still published on a near-daily basis, and has been for over 8 years).
I was also disbarred (both wrongfully and in fact unlawfully, as the Bar Standards Board later admitted to me in writing), by reason of a complaint by the Jews of “UK Lawyers for Israel”.
Stephen Silverman [@ssilvuk on Twitter/x], the self-styled “Head of Investigations and Enforcement” at the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” (a tiny but well-funded cabal) has himself, over the past decade and more, made (himself and/or using Jewish proxies sympathetic to the “CAA”) many complaints against me to police etc, including a completely invented claim, in 2021, that I had “racially harassed” him.
Silverman should have been charged with attempted perversion of the course of justice, and still could be, in theory; also “wasting police time” (though, in relation to me in 2021, the time limitation for the latter is now past that limit). The police, though, have often been easily bamboozled and used by the “CAA”.
The police and Crown Prosecution Service need to find, like the characters in The Wizard of Oz, both courage and a brain.
Silverman actually turned up at my free speech trial to gloat, and was so disappointed at the (four months later) sentencing hearing (disappointed that the court’s relative leniency (I should never have been convicted, or indeed prosecuted at all) that he scuttled away very quickly.
Though Silverman gave no evidence at my trial (no doubt afraid of what I should have put to him directly in cross-examination (I defended myself), I saw him, while the court was in recess) actually go into the conference room where the CPS and their outside prosecution Counsel were conferring; it looked like he invited himself in. The police and CPS were, in my free speech trial, acting as puppets for the Jewish lobby. It was there, in plain sight.
I think that, had the quite fair district judge been able to find a technical reason to stop the trial at “half-time”, he (sitting alone) would have acquitted me, but was loath simply to acquit me at the end, and on the basis that the half-dozen cartoons and remarks allegedly posted by me, and which formed the basis of the prosecution case, were not “grossly offensive“. To that extent, the Jewish-lobby/political fix was in, I believe.

Just met a lady
Hasn’t voted in 40 years
Voting Reform
A lot of non-voters coming to us — just like Brexit
Interesting point. I have wondered (including on the blog) whether many of the “never vote” unengaged electors might suddenly emerge, not only at the Gorton and Denton by-election, but at the next general election, both in that constituency and others. At GE 2024, only 46.8% of the total eligible electorate bothered to vote, and about half of those voted Labour, which means that Labour won on about 24% of the total eligible vote: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorton_and_Denton#Elections_in_the_2020s.
I have just read a piece on a website called Politics Home which managed to cover the by-election (in some detail about Muslims, the Greens, and Labour) while scarcely mentioning Reform UK, not covering its campaign at all, and not mentioning Matt Goodwin, the Reform candidate, by name even once: https://www.politicshome.com/news/article/muslim-vote-swing-by-election-gorton-denton.
Reminded me of the way in which the mainstream media once ignored British nationalist parties in the past (unless something discreditable emerged).
This is tame compared to what I hear on the doorstep every day
As blogged before, while I disagree with Goodwin on several issues, notably Israel/Jews etc, he is the standout candidate at that by-election, and would quite plainly be of far more use to the inhabitants of Gorton and Denton than either the pseudo-Green plumber lady or, a fortiori, the quangocrat/public relations woman from Greece that Labour has selected. He is also about as intelligent as the other two put together.
Would translate to a Commons with about 378 Reform MPs (very solid majority), 66 LibDems (very weak official Opposition), 61 Labour, 45 SNP, 32 Cons, and 30 Greens [etc].
Incidentally, on those figures, both Kemi Badenoch and Keir Starmer would retain their seats, but (on the Labour side) all the obvious rivals of Starmer would lose theirs— Yvette Cooper, Rachel Reeves, West Streeting, Angela Rayner, and (new entry) Alistair “Al” Carns.

A vote for the Greens in Gorton and Denton is a vote for legalised crack cocaine and heroin, teaching children they can “change sex”, and open border chaos
Sources in several parties starting to point to some strange betting patterns around Gorton and Denton. Greens odds have been shortening all week. But that's not reflecting what anyone is picking up on the ground.
I have noted that on the blog a few times recently: Greens odds-on, despite the apparent local support for Reform UK. As for Labour, over 8/1 on Betfair.
Just looked on Betfair (which uses a decimal system, not the traditional odds-format). Greens are quite heavily odds-on, about 1/3, Reform around 9/2, which seems ridiculous and a pretty good bet at that price. Labour 10/1. I doubt that Labour will win, but 10/1 is also a value bet in what seems to be a 3-horse race in which all three do have at least a plausible chance.
Just checked Coral bookmakers. They have the Greens on 4/11, so a very heavy favourite; Reform UK at 7/2, Labour at 8/1.
The Conservatives, LibDems, and Advance UK are all at 200/1, and all others (Monster Raving Loony, Libertarian Party, SDP, Rejoin EU, and the Communist League) are at 500/1.
I suppose that some mugs believe “Tommy Robinson”. The truth must lie elsewhere, especially since Israel, which “Tommy” vociferously supports, seems to have backed, albeit covertly, the ISIS barbarians.
If, however, that is a genuine police telephone call, it may relate to a comment by one individual ISIS barbarian, maybe a UK supporter, rather than ISIS as such. Hard to say. “Robinson” has, however, recently been even more vocal in support of Israel etc.

I once sat there, outside, about 35 years ago, with my first wife. Perhaps 1991. It was around 1700 hrs. Two besuited French office workers (I presume) strolled past, glanced at us and one remarked to the other something about “les deux magots” (with hard “g“, too..). Neither of us having more than basic French, we wondered whether they were referring to us, and as “the two maggots”, but the name of the place refers to two Oriental figurines (something akin to “Magi”).

Someone once told me that she had known a former doorman at a block of expensive flats where many politicians lived (I think probably in the 1950s, but possibly in the 1930s). According to that report, the good tippers were mainly Conservative MPs, the poor ones mainly Labour Party ones (and Oswald Mosley).
The relative generosity was attributed, rightly or wrongly, to the view that Conservative MPs regarded relative poverty as inherent in society, so to be ameliorated by personal charity now and then, whereas socialists and other radicals regarded what was important as the changing of society so that poverty no longer existed, ergo tipping the relatively poor, or giving to them, was only a distraction from the real task.

Scribblers and talking heads such as Dan Hodges always think such figures are terribly important. They are not, because any “growth” benefit, unless explosive, benefit goes, almost entirely, to about 1%, and certainly not more than 5%, of the population; any fall, unless catastrophic, scarcely affects the 95% of the population.

I have blogged once or twice about the by-election. I see that Betfair now has the Greens odds-on, Reform about 5/2, and Labour well back on nearly 9/1.
I have found bookmakers’ odds a poor indication of the result of by-elections, but Labour already look like the big losers in this one. If I have to eat my words on the 27th (by-election is on 26th), so be it. I just cannot see either the Muslims (about 30% or so of the electorate of Gorton and Denton) or most English/British people (about 68% of the voters there) voting Labour now, despite Labour’s 50.8% at GE 2024. A lot has happened in the past 18 months.
I still think that Reform can do this, but we shall have to see. Exactly 2 weeks to go.

The drug trade, like all trades, is driven by its consumer base. Therefore, to eliminate the trade, you have to eliminate the consumers. Don’t think, or pretend to think, that you can stop mass drug abuse by arresting local drug dealers, or large dealers, or importers (smugglers), or even by executing them, let alone by bombing poppy fields in Asia or cocaine producing areas in South America. The only way, harsh though it would be, is to eliminate the end-users en masse.

I do not doubt that they confessed (whether guilty or not).
Triggers a few memories.
When I lived in Almaty, Kazakhstan (1996-1997), I lived on Prospekt Lenina, one of the main boulevards. One day, I heard that an American who apparently lived across the (very wide) boulevard from me had been found tortured to death in an armchair in his own apartment.
At the time, I was sole expat lawyer for a British firm in Kazakhstan. The other office staff, however, about 5 people, were under a Kazakh ex-policeman turned fake lawyer (I am sure that he had either bought or forged his qualifications).
This individual in my office had links to the KNB, the renamed Kazakhstan KGB, and told me that the murdered American had been a gay who had picked up two men at a casino. They had murdered him, thinking that he had cash. They had also stolen items from the apartment.
What interested me most about the story, however, was the assertion that, because the KNB had apparently suspected the American (a supposed journalist, working for an obscure Texas-based journal, of which no-one had ever heard) of being a CIA operative, and so had bugged that man’s apartment (both audio and video). There was therefore both audio and video evidence of the torture and murder, though (sadly for the victim) not seen until the next day. Had the KNB been watching in real time, they would have been able to save the victim.
The murderers were, it seems, arrested the next day, and (of course) confessed. I imagine that they were shown the evidence, but would very likely have confessed even had there been no evidence at all. The Kazakh police are rather rough.
There were few foreigners resident in Almaty at that time. I was told that there were about 50 Brits, and quite a few more Americans (in a city of, even then, nearly 2M inhabitants). I doubt, though, whether I myself was suspected of being more than a boring/innocent expat lawyer, but who knows?
Incidentally, I went for a talk at the British Embassy there, not long afterwards, about “personal security”, given by a visiting expert from London. I was often at the Embassy anyway, had met the Ambassador and others several times (and it was walking distance from my home).
There were about 30 British people, businessmen mostly, assembled to hear the words of wisdom.
“Von Smallhausen” mentioned the murder of the American, cast doubt on the idea that he had been a journalist, and also mentioned the not dissimilar case of a Swiss banker, also murdered in the city not long before.
The “visiting expert” also said that most expats he had met on his brief visit had assured him that Almaty was safe for foreigners, yet he himself had visited a nightclub in the centre of the city a day or two previously and, on exiting the club, had tripped over a dead body.
I have to say that I never had serious trouble while I lived in Kazakhstan (1 year), and what minor trouble I did have was handled one way or another. There again, I usually avoid nightclubs, bars, and casinos in most parts of the world. In fact, unlike most foreigners in Almaty at that time, I not only travelled by car but also on foot and even by local bus, trolleybus, and tram (there was no Metro at the time). My then girlfriend remarked that I had to be the only foreigner in the city with a monthly public transport pass, though I had my own driver to take me to the office and back. I like to wander and explore alone sometimes.

Actually, I hope she does take over. That would sink the Labour Party completely.

It’s the Labour Party

Incidentally, I was just looking at Betfair Politics. I have found that the betting odds are poor predictors of by-election results, but for what it might be worth, the Greens are now favourite, and are marginally odds-on, Reform is now around 7/4, but Labour has now gone way out, and stands at around 17/2 (Advance UK 150/1, LibDems 500/1, Conservatives 1,000/1).

[“In 1962, a 37-year-old man from England named Brendon Grimshaw suddenly quit his job and bought a small island in the Seychelles for about $10,000. The island was called Moyenne and, at the time of purchase, had been abandoned for 50 years. Everyone thought the man was crazy. Brendon eventually moved to the island permanently as its sole inhabitant. While most people tend to buy islands for luxury, Brendon had a broader vision. He wanted to restore the island to its raw beauty, creating a natural paradise completely uncontaminated by man and tourism. For the next 40 years, Brendon lived alone on the island; he managed to plant 16,000 trees by hand, built 5 km of nature trails and attracted around 2,000 new birds to the island. Brendon had transformed a desert land into an island of incredible beauty, Moyenne was so beautiful that Brendon was offered 50 million dollars by a Saudi prince, but he turned it down. Since Brendon died in 2012, the island has been owned by the Moyenne Island Foundation and is now a national park available to all thanks to his efforts.

Gorton and Denton by-election
I will always speak up for the people who love this country
Who work hard, play by the rules, and deserve to be put first
Unlike Labour, I will never laugh at them, ignore them, or take them for granted
My own views about the likely result of the Gorton and Denton by-election have not changed from a day or two ago. Reform seem to be in pole position, and Labour very much on the back foot (every day more scandal), but the Green Party may also be getting not only their own former (2024) voters’ votes (about 13% in 2024) but also votes from both disenchanted English/British former Labour voters and from equally disenchanted Pakistani (etc) Muslim former Labour voters.
That triad of support for the Greens may add up to something formidable, though my money is, I think, still on Reform to win this. For Labour to win would take a minor miracle, the way things are, despite Labour’s 50.8% vote at GE 2024, and despite the history of the area.

The facts, put plainly, sound utterly monstrous – and a genuine low for British politics.
Many well-meaning but fatally-naive people still have a sadly-ingrained respect or deference to anyone in a position such as MP, Cabinet minister, certainly Prime Minister (or “royal prince”…). Unfortunately, the past 16+ years have shown that many, perhaps most, are clowns and/or freeloaders and moneygrubbers. Many, also, are little better, if at all, than Israeli agents and/or puppets of the Jewish lobby in the UK.
A victory for Reform (or even for the Greens) would knock Starmer-stein totally off his perch. I doubt that he would resign, though; he is the kind of box-ticking careerist who will cling on to his job even as people are stamping on his fingers. I think he would have to be dismissed by his own MPs.
Nadia Whittome is right about this. The people attempting to prop Starmer up when he is clearly fatally damaged aren't doing themselves, their party or the country any favours. https://t.co/S45TIWvZp8

This rat is a rabid Z1onist like McSweeney. They will swim or drown together. Its got very little to do with Labour, which is just a vehicle for their cult
“A Labour ministercommissioned and reviewed an intelligence report on journalists investigating the thinktank that helped propel Keir Starmer to power, the Guardian has learned.
The research was ordered and subsequently reviewed by Josh Simons, now a minister in the Cabinet Office, when he was chair of Labour Together, according to sources and documents seen by the Guardian.
Simons is close to the prime minister’s chief of staff, Morgan McSweeney, who had previously run Labour Together and whose own role in the operation to gather material on journalists is under scrutiny.
In an agreement addressed to Simons, drawn up by the PR firm APCO Worldwide, the firm agreed to “investigate the sourcing, funding and origins” of a November 2023 Sunday Times report about the thinktank, in addition to other journalistic investigations into the group.“
[Guardian]
“Josh Simons“: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josh_Simons. Half-Jew, and whose wife is American, probably Jewish, maybe even a US/UK/Israel triple passport-holder.
I find it quite staggering that there is anyone with even the most basic understanding of politics that seriously believes this process is politically survivable for Keir Starmer. https://t.co/dMqbI18R9h
Might fly with the electorate. Senior officer (Colonel, but was due for promotion to Brigadier prior to being MP) but still youngish (44; will be 45 in March 2026); MC and DSO; saw action repeatedly in Afghanistan; untainted (so far) by any scandal.
Whether that ex-officer’s election as Labour leader would be an electoral gamechanger, hard to say, but it would be far more popular than having Angela Rayner or Wes Streeting, let alone expenses cheat Yvette Cooper, taking over.
Usually, ex-officers are not much good, politically, but who knows, this one might be an exception. It might not save Labour, but might mitigate the damage.
🚨 NEW: Labour MP Neil Duncan-Jordan has called for Keir Starmer to resign
"We can't just keep going on like this – lurching from one crisis to the next. One of the best ways of resetting is to have a renewal of the Labour Party… and that means changing who's in charge"
I have just learned that Labour Together, the think tank run by Keir Starmer's chief of staff Morgan McSweeney, paid a PR firm £30,000 to secretly investigate me alongside other journalists.
Morgan McSweeney is, at very least, an agent of influence controlled by Israel. He may even be a MOSSAD agent, simpliciter. £30,000 just to investigate a few journalists? Where did the money come from? Probably Israel itself, either directly or via cut-outs, rich Jews resident in the UK, a “fifth column” in our society.

I think that it would be socially acceptable to have official firing squads in public places for many of the guilty. That would serve several purposes: justice for victims and their families, retribution visited upon the perpetrators and their often-guilty families and clans, and also a feeling in the country that untermenschen are finally being put in their place, and that Britain has drawn a line in the sand.
I remain opposed to capital punishment in general, and regard the above policy as a necessary demonstration of social cleansing, rather than “punishment” in a legalistic sense.

Just to be clear. If Keir Starmer does cave then we know for certain his initial attempt to limit publication had nothing to do with national security and everything to do with hiding as much as he could from parliament and the public.
Since I last blogged, a day or so ago, about the Gorton and Denton by-election, it has become clear that Labour’s stock is sinking, both in the constituency and across the country.
As blogged before, the 30% of the voters of Gorton and Denton who are Muslim are mainly, probably, going to dump Labour because of the largely Jewish and Zionist nature of the Starmer-stein misgovernment, something which has been put into even sharper focus by the scandal-news of recent days: Epstein, Mandelson, Ghislaine “Maxwell” etc. All Jewish.
As for the ~68% of local voters who are mostly white English/British, the deadheaded antics of the fake Labour government over the past 18 months will have pretty much trashed the Labour “brand”. I really cannot see more than a core of old-style Labour tribalists staying loyal.
Reform were already the second-placed party in Gorton and Denton even at GE 2024, though on little more than a quarter of the Labour vote. About 14% as against over 50%.
The story now is that a very high proportion of former Labour voters will go Green. How high, though, is uncertain. Some former Labour voters (some of the white ones, basically) will go to Reform, others will not vote at all.
Elections and by-elections are all about the numbers, and the numbers here are speculative.
If Labour’s 2024 vote of over 50% reduces, as it well might, attacked as it is from at least two directions, to about 30% or even 20%, then even if many refuse to vote, there must be a big chunk going to both Green and Reform. My money is on Reform, on the basis that Reform is the only party of any size standing on its policy mix at the by-election. Anyone supporting those ideas etc will vote Reform, as will tactical voters from the no-chance Con Party direction.
The anti-Reform vote is split, but at GE 2024, the Greens were only just behind Reform (about 13% as against Reform’s 14%); Labour’s 50%+ put the total anti-Reform vote in 2024 at around 64%. However, that was then.
As of today, my feeling is that Reform may end up with about 35% of votes cast, and the Greens perhaps a similar figure. Labour, I cannot see getting more than about 20%. The news every day just gets worse for Starmer-stein and his Labour Friends of Israel cabal.
If I had to guess today, my guess would be that Labour has almost no chance of holding the seat, but between the Greens and Reform, I cannot say. Maybe Reform, despite almost all the non-whites probably defecting from Labour to the Greens.

The fact is, that most people in the UK are appalled by the behaviour of Israel and the supporters of Israel in the UK. The result of that is that, despite clear evidence of what happened, persons plainly guilty from a straight legalistic point of view are acquitted because the jury obviously thought that their actions were justified by reason of political or social motivation, i.e. because of the mass slaughter being (even today) carried on by the Jews in Gaza against a defenceless and mainly civilian population.
The jury was probably also hostile to what the supporters of Israel get up to in the UK— profiting from arms and other production, repressing free speech, other exploitative behaviour, and trying to take over every aspect of British politics etc.
WOW THIS IS MASSIVE‼️
The jury understood that the greater crime is Israel using weapons on a defenceless population.

The unfortunate policewoman was “collateral damage” in a kind of war, just as the tens of thousands of babies and small children of Gaza, killed or mutilated by Israeli Jews, are “collateral damage” according to Israel and its supporters.
The verdict today does not sit especially well with me, mainly by reason of the attack on the policewoman, and the injuries sustained by her but, well, that’s war.
After all the grief British, French and Israeli journalists got from Israel’s supporters for quoting death & casualty figures from the Gaza health ministry, Israeli military officials now accept that the ministry’s figure of 70,000 men, women & children dead was broadly accurate.
If Angela Rayner were to take over from Starmer-stein and so become Prime-Minister-by-default, she would not have to hold a general election until 2029. The British voters (the real ones) will never accept an ignorant “chavscum” woman and expenses cheat as Prime Minister, and would, at that election, remove her, and 90% of Labour MPs with her.
Incidentally, the “Sam Tarry” mentioned in that tweet is Rayner’s boyfriend, a horrible little bastard and ex-MP, who worked for or with the Jewish “anti-fascist” cabals “Hope not Hate” and Searchlight (magazine).
Important to understand the explosion of anger we’re currently seeing from Labour MPs has been triggered by Mandelson. But it’s not the underlying cause. It’s been building for months. As some of us have been warning.

Acting as advocatus diaboli, I suppose that Starmer could outflank his rivals by simply calling an election. If recent opinion polls are accurate, all the present rivals for Starmer’s purple would be likely to lose their seats— Angela Rayner, Streeting etc.
Starmer’s seat is one of the safest Labour seats. He would probably retain it. The downside would be, however, that Starmer would then not be Prime Minister, merely leader of a small Labour contingent (quite likely under 100 seats, possibly under 75). He might not even be Leader of the Opposition (if the LibDems were to get more seats).
More seriously, if Mandelson is (according to Starmer) someone who betrayed “this country” (meaning the UK), then what does that say about Starmer-stein himself, and all the other Labour Friends of Israel, every last one a puppet of Israel and the Jewish lobby)?
I see msm scribblers and talking heads (e.g. Dan Hodges) pushing the idea that the notorious Jew, Epstein, was working for “the KGB” (I presume they mean the SVR, the KGB as such having been notionally closed down, and reorganized, about 35 years ago, in 1991).
Highly unlikely. Far more likely (see my blog post about all that, below) is that Epstein and all his works were run by, or closely connected with, Israeli Intelligence: see
Naturally, there is a distinction to be drawn between Southern European Fascism, and Northern European, originally or mainly German, National Socialism, but both fought, and continue to struggle, for the future of the European peoples and for the Aryan and post-Aryan impulse in the world.

Now that Galloway and his Workers’ Party have decided not to stand, the Green Party vote-share will inevitably increase, most if not all of potential Galloway voters being Muslims who will now pivot to the Greens, as against Starmer-stein’s Labour Friends of Israel misgovernment and its just-announced candidate, a Greek woman, born in Greece, and who seems to be a kind of “quangocrat” type.
As previously blogged, it seems to me that this may be a close match between Reform and the Greens. Labour did score 50.8% at GE 2024 not even a year ago but, since then, the Starmer government has failed on almost all fronts. I give it a couple of ticks in respect of a few smaller matters, but on the big things it has failed, abjectly.
I am thinking that the Labour vote percentage at the by-election might be around two-thirds of where it was at GE 2024. That would be in line with the national “Labour intending” vote (as expressed in recent opinion polls). Labour scored 33.7% at GE 2024, but at present is polling somewhere around 20%.
If replicated at the by-election, that would perhaps reduce the Lab vote to around 30% or so. The remaining ~20% seen at GE 2024 will either not vote (and that might be the main option, this being only a by-election) or will go Green or Reform, maybe half and half of the remainder.
Reform scored only 14.1% at GE 2024 (2nd place), but might get another 5% via former Labour voters, another 5% out of the 7.9% the Con Party scored at GE 2024, and perhaps will also get votes from people who normally do not vote. Call it 30% overall.
As for the Greens, they were 3rd-placed at GE 2024—they got 13.2%, and the Workers’ Party got 10.3%, so assuming that all of the latter join with the former, that makes somewhere not far short of 24%. Add about 5% from disenchanted former Labour voters, and the Greens might also get 30% at the by-election.
So there it is. The best I can do is think that Reform, the Greens, and Labour will all end up with somewhere around 30% of the total vote. May be a very close result, though my gut tells me that Labour may just collapse. No proof of that, just a nagging feeling.
There are 10 candidates in all. Those other than the main three will probably share about 10% of the total vote. Advance UK may take some votes away from Matt Goodwin and Reform, but I think not many. Only Reform has the public profile to possibly win the by-election, and that might persuade people who like Advance UK [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advance_UK] or its candidate, Nick Buckley [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Buckley], to switch to Reform.
As for the LibDems and the very minor or joke candidates, all but irrelevant.
Hard to call, but the momentum is surely with Reform UK at this point.

Goodwin may or may not win, but he must have a very good chance in the Gorton and Denton by-election. If former Conservative Party voters have any sense (which I doubt), they will vote tactically for Reform. The Con Party candidate, a rather mannish woman and ex-detective, has no chance anyway (Con Party only got 7.9% at GE 2024, and will probably lose its deposit at the by-election).
Incidentally, I saw a typically silly piece by Zoe Williams in the Guardian, saying that “Goodwin is the most extreme Reform candidate yet”. What would the silly woman think of me?…
London is revoking the accreditation of a Russian diplomat, the British Foreign Office said in a statement.
“The people I met were disconnected and angry at the same time. Even if Labour somehow wins this by-election, how does it arrest the slide into hopelessness?“
“Labour may hold on here: as ever, it has a formidable get-out-the-vote machine, and droves of activists. As evidenced by Starmer’s rather stilted claim that the contest is reducible to “true patriotism against the plastic patriotism of Reform”, the party may yet manage what eluded it at last year’s by-election in the Welsh seat of Caerphilly, and successfully position itself as the best tactical choice to defeat Farage and Goodwin. But what even a Labour win will barely shift is what runs deep, here and all over the county: anger, disconnection and bewilderment with a party and government that are now floundering and disoriented.”

Well, this week a very narrow victory over political journalist John Rentoul. He scored 6/10, whereas I scored 6.5/10, having adopted Rentoul’s own habit of giving himself a half-point where appropriate (in my case, in regard to question 3). I did not know the answers to questions 1, 6, and 9.
In other words, I won this week over Rentoul, as the racing people say, “by a neck, cleverly“.
A “blast from the past”
While weeding old emails to save space, I happened to see the following one, sent by me to BBC Radio 4 PM and Sky News nearly 16 years ago, in 2010 (when I occasionally emailed my thoughts to the msm; I should not waste my time these days):
”pm@bbc.co.uk
news@sky.com;info@libdems.org.uk
The LibDems have now without doubt and in the time-honoured phrase, “sold their birthright for a messs of pottage”. They have lost all credibility, all integrity and for what? For baubles of supposed power which mean little or nothing.
There will have to be installed at No.10 a “clegg flap” of sufficient dimensions to facilitate the passage of Clegg’s swollen head. Or will clegg be expected to use the tradesmen’s entrance? Also, will Clegg also inherit Prescott’s gardening leave and set of croquet mallets?
As with the honorific office of V-P in the USA, the office of “Deputy PM” threatens to become a park spot for unwanted and, in Lenin’s well-known phrase “useful idiots”.
The Conservatives havee taken all the significant ministerial posts. Loyalty of the LibDems has been bought cheaply indeed, as 20 of the 56 or 57 LibDems MP’s get some kind of salaried (ie, thanks to their MP salaries, double-salaried) employment as notional part of the new government.
Meanwhile, the new semi-elected dictatorship will stay in power for 5 years thanks to imposition of the inflexible 5-year fixed term. Long live “freedom”! A government “elected” and “negotiated” into power which in reality was only put there by the 10.5 million Conservative votes out of 29 million. The people who voted LibDem have been mostly betrayed and tricked.
The LibDem negotiators were a notably poor lot: a little ex-banker, the buy-to-let parasite “Seven Houses” Huhne etc. All careerists. The LibDems should have simply stayed independent and let the Conservatives go alone into minority administration. Now the Conservatives will do as they please, throwing out a few crumbs from time to time to their LibDem serving class.
One can see that, interpenetrating the supposedly open recent election was the real, concealed System, pushing for Cameron to take over as PM, as witness the very feeble LibDem/Labour negotiations, the fact (now emerging) that “senior Labour figures” did not even seriously try to come to a proper alliance with the LibDems, the fury of both Conservative leaders and the mass media talking heads when it seemed that Cameron might not make it, etc.
This government will be the most pro-Zionist government ever in the UK, eclipsing even those of Wilson, Thatcher and Blair. Also, connectedly, the least independent from American policy. That much is obvious.
In the campaign, Cameron said “vote LibDem, get Gordon Brown”. That now looks ironic and, indeed, mendacious.
I predict that this may well be the end of the LibDems UNLESS, perhaps, they can somehow still get, in the end, proportional representation, which is to almost everyone in this country (except the party now in undemocratic power) the fair way to go.
As for The Party Formerly Known As Labour, what is their legacy after 13 years? A country where the gulf (I do not say gap) between rich and poor is far greater than it was even in 1997; a country where “Labour” now admit that they imported millions of non-whites even in the past 13 years, AND QUITE DELIBERATELY to subvert the race, culture and civilization of the UK. Etc.
The medium term future of the UK after 2015 must lie, ideologically, in a blend of Socialism, National Socialism, reasonable and regulated private enterprise, decent welfare procedures, New Age/Christian/Grail and environmental concern. A synthesis of the collective with individual human rights (real human rights, not the Cherie Blair/Harriet Harperson shadows of rights). Rudolf Steiner’s Threefold Social Order can be a partial template.
In foreign policy, the EU scam will obviously collapse or radically change in time. The UK must join in free but close alliance with white Northern Europe, Scandinavia and Russia.
A real “New Order” can then emerge.“

That ex-officer is one of the major scribblers (in the Daily Telegraph) apparently seeking war with Russia. His idea of such a war, however, seems to be a 1940s or 1950s one, rather than one in which London and other British cities are incinerated within an hour.

Labour are entering a donkey at the last minute to the Manchester Derby ……
I blogged about the Gorton and Denton by-election yesterday, and previously.
I see that one opinion poll has Reform UK and Labour vying for the seat, rather than Reform and the Green Party. Maybe, and Labour did hoover up half of the votes cast less than 2 years ago, in 2024.
On the other hand, the Labour “brand” is collapsing, arguably has already collapsed, and Labour’s Gorton and Denton result of 50.8%, 2 years ago, might well collapse to 25% or even 15% at the by-election, depending on turnout, and also on how many Muslims (Pakistanis) shun Labour and vote Green because of the pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby policies of Starmer-stein and his Labour Friends of Israel (mis)government.
Also, depending on how many white voters (about 68% of those eligible) are angry enough at the crazy decline of the UK —even over the past 2 years— to either vote Reform or to just not vote at all.
For me, it seems quite likely that Reform can do this, though I concede it might be close. What might swing it is that Reform may be able to get the votes of about half the white English/British voters who vote, so about 35% of all voters who vote. The remaining ~55% (leaving aside minor parties, and the Con, LibDem etc) will be split between Labour and the Greens.
Incidentally, I see that several msm commentators are saying that Matt Goodwin was a poor choice as Reform candidate. I do not see that. He is energetic, well-prepared, articulate, has a high public profile by reason of his TV and online activity and, despite having grown up mainly in Hertfordshire, has quite a few Mancunian links and connections.
I think that some msm scribblers just dislike Goodwin; Dan Hodges in particular. Also, Goodwin is gathering traction, and there may be envy in the mix somewhere.
I myself have no time for Goodwin’s pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby views, but some of his other views (not the crazed American-style anti-Welfare State ones) are not so far from a few of my own.
Anyway, Goodwin is surely the standout candidate in the by-election.
Mark Hehir gofundme appeal
I blogged about this case yesterday; a London bus driver who chased after and apprehended a thief/robber, but who himself was later arrested (!) and then (despite not having been charged with anything) dismissed by the bus company, Metroline.
I remember cycling after him down the road as a kid and I couldn’t keep up – he was so big and strong
He worked at Farmer Norton’s steel factory on Silk Street in Salford as a chargehand
When my parents divorced, my brother and I would visit here a lot
It was a confusing time, I wasn’t quite sure what was going on
Like everybody else in my family he was working-class
On the other side, my maternal grandmother grew up in Llanelli, Wales, in complete poverty
Her father, my great-grandfather, worked down the mines
She sang in the local choir and was so good she became one of the first women to win a Blue Riband at the Eisteddford – a big deal
She was then sent to sing for the troops – during World War Two – which is where she met my maternal grandfather on a boat in the Indian Ocean
He was from working-class Brixton and fought for the Chindits, behind enemy lines, in Burma
All my grandparents were the same
They all struggled
They all worked hard
They all played by the rules
And they all believed in Britain
Visiting my grandad’s house yesterday was emotional
I thought of that boy who struggled to keep up with his granddad
I thought about how lost and confused I felt at that time
And now here I am standing for Parliament
Not only the first person in my family to go to university but actually standing for Parliament!
Many people on the Left want you to think that I am a bad person with divisive views
But it’s not true
I just want to live in a country where people like my grandparents are treated with decency and respect
Where people who work hard, who play by the rules, and who contribute to our country are put first – where they belong
This should not be controversial
This should not be a lot to ask for
But our politicians lost their way
So I am asking you to question the narratives you are being fed and, if you would like, come and join me in this positive and optimistic campaign to turn our country around“]
[Matt Goodwin]
I’ve a new Substack coming next week based on the confidential communications about the litigation between the barrister Beth Grossman of Doughty Street and Mark Lewis of Patron Law.
A risible attempt by Dan Hodges to —impliedly— criticise Matt Goodwin for not having sufficient local roots to be a candidate in the Gorton and Denton by-election.
I do not recall Dan Hodges or others making similar criticism, in the past, about other candidates in other UK elections, some of which candidates, black or brown, or Chinese, and even having been born in various parts of Africa or Asia, or in Jamaica, or Guyana, have little or no connection with their constituencies of choice, or even with this country in general…

Well, there it is. Jews facilitating an influx of Afghans to this country.
Not just any old Jews, though. Simon Myerson is the fanatical Jew-Zionist barrister and (until sacked) Recorder (p/t criminal judge) who, with Daniel Berke, was also involved in the James Wilson defamation case. Berke was solicitor for at least one of the unsuccessful defendants; Myerson was one of a number of Jews whose sworn testimony on behalf of the defendants was either disbelieved or given little or no weight by the trial judge.
Other Jews involved in the James Wilson case included (as Counsel) barrister Beth Grossman, and the notorious, negligent, and dishonest solicitor, “Mark Lewis Lawyer”, who (with his wife/carer Mandy Blumenthal) also tried to both create a provocation against the black comedian Reginald D. Hunter at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2024 and to make money out of it via “compensation” etc. Typical…
Hunter was later privately prosecuted by the malicious Jewish pressure group, “Campaign Against Antisemitism” (“CAA”), but the case thrown out in 2025, the District Judge calling it a disgraceful attempt to abuse the English legal system. In fact, the District Judge ordered that all further cases involving the “CAA” should have a copy of the transcript of his remarks appended for the perusal of later judges.
I do not know whether Beth Grossman is a member/supporter of the “CAA” (probably), but the others criticized by that trial judge all are: Myerson, Berke, a Jew academic called Hirsch [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Hirsh], a Jew journalist (scribbler) called Cailler (Daily Star employee…), and a Jewish woman called Joanne Bell, prolific on Twitter/X (as @jobellerina), among others
Speaking in lay terms rather than in strictly legal ones, the activities of the “CAA” etc amount to an ongoing Jew-Zionist, pro-Israel conspiracy, in my opinion.
Jewish pro-Israel “lawfare” is a conspiratorial abuse of the laws, courts, and legal procedure of this country.

A few months after Gavin Millar KC talked about bringing me down, Mark Lewis made a false report to the police that I was trying to blackmail him.
The immediately above false complaint about me to the police in 2021, perpetrated by Jew-Zionist agitator Stephen Silverman of the fake charity (pro-Israel pressure group), “Campaign Against Antisemitism”, was particularly egregious.
Silverman, who awarded himself the title “Director of Investigations and Enforcement” at the “CAA”, should have been prosecuted for perversion or attempted perversion of the course of justice, but (presumably because the CAA has suborned or bamboozled the woodentopped police and “Clown” Prosecution Service) never was. In my view, he was and remains patently guilty.
I should have made official complaint about Silverman at the time, but assumed (wrongly, it seems) that the police were actually capable of doing their job properly, and also of thinking for themselves and taking the initiative..
At the very least, Silverman should have been prosecuted for wasting police time (by making up a completely invented and false claim involving me allegedly “racially harassing” him in 2021). See the blog post for the details.

Can that be accurate? 22% of voters are intending to vote Labour at the next GE? Seems far too inflated. As does 20% for the utterly pathetic Conservative Party.
That poll would translate to a Commons with about 339 Reform UK MPs (a workable majority), 127 Lab, 62 LibDems, 40 SNP, 38 Cons, 8 Greens [etc].
Gorton and Denton by-election
But Labour won more than 50% of the votes last time; so it’s much more of a disaster for Starmer if they don’t retain it than it is for Farage if Reform don’t win what has still to be a real long shot of a constituency for them to bag, even in a by-election, even at this moment.
Good points by tweeter “Rod Mason”, but there is also the point that, as the insurgent “save Britain” option, Reform need to keep momentum (by winning) far more than Labour.
🚨 NEW: The first by-election poll from Gorton and Denton shows Reform UK winning the seat
Incidentally, I disagree with those saying that Matt Goodwin is a poor choice of candidate. The kneejerk choice would have been some obscure Reform member, maybe Pakistani.
By going with Goodwin, Reform have made a bold choice, someone English/British who is widely known via his online activity and his appearances on TV. I should say that, while his probable victory is certainly not nailed on, Goodwin and Reform are in pole position here.
Goodwin is not associated with the Conservative Party defectors to Reform, and has opposed their being allowed to join.
One has to start with two facts: firstly, that Gorton and Denton was a Labour heartland seat but also, secondly, that Starmer-stein’s police-state Labour “cosplay” has trashed whatever Northern England tribal Labour loyalties survived the Blair-Brown years.
In the UK as a whole, Labour is running at between 20%-25% in terms of the opinion polls. Obviously, a place like Gorton and Denton will be ahead of that. However, many pro-Labour voters may decide not to vote. Reform UK intending voters are angry. They will vote.
For many people, the situation in the UK is becoming existentially bad. They want serious action to stop that (starting with the migrant-invaders), and so far are given no red meat at all by the System parties.
Apart from those main points, there is the Green Party intervention. Many Labour-leaning people will vote Green because it is ideologically close to what Labour was during the Michael Foot years of the 1980s. Their votes may seriously dent Labour’s vote.
Labour scored 50.8% in Gorton and Denton at the 2024 GE, but is now polling in the area at around half that. Partly, in fact mainly, anger at Starmer-stein (“Tel Aviv Keith”) and his cabal, partly the fact that both the Green Party and Reform are offering radical alternatives.
Utterly absurd
Under Keir Starmer’s “one in, one out” deal, Britain has removed 281 illegal migrants and accepted .. 350
Meanwhile, another 17,000 illegal migrants have entered Britain

Rather alarming that Blaise Metreweli, the new SIS/MI6 Chief, seems to think that the Special Operations Executive (SOE) was somehow useful in WW2. Au contraire. Shambolic and mismanaged, with very poor security, and employing officers and agents often distinguished by their amateurishness.
SOE was disbanded very quickly after WW2, because it had outlived whatever usefulness it may have had.
Incidentally, it has been argued that SOE’s main enemy in WW2 was, at least at times, not the German Abwehr and SD orgs, but SIS, Ms. Metreweli’s own organization.

As often explained on the blog, the 33-year cycle means that the most significant years of the past century or so were 1923, 1956, 1989, 2022. However, what impulse lands on Earth in, say, 2022, may not be obvious for months or even years.
Naturally, it is easy for the System parties, with their extensive backroom support, to mock new or small parties unable to afford such support, but the main System parties also often do stupid things, “even” when in office.
I will be standing for Reform UK in the Gorton & Denton by-election on February 26th.
This election is a referendum on Keir Starmer as Prime Minister.
In a way, a brave move; the by-election is far from cut-and-dried. Proves that I was right a year or two ago, though, when I predicted that Goodwin would join Reform, stand in some by-election, get elected (?), then (after Reform sweeps the next general election, assuming that it does), become a Cabinet minister, possibly even Prime Minister.
If Goodwin wins this by-election, it might be the death-knell for Labour in its “traditional” support-areas.
