🤦 A tidal wave of hastily concocted fantasy stories about the so-called "Russian threat" has been sweeping the pages of the UK press.
There should be a concerted governmental push to improve the UK’s natural world. Many private landowners and others are doing much but much more needs to be done, especially from the side of government.

Easy to overlook in the noise, but is worth pausing on these stats – barely 4 in 10 Brits now say the US is an ally of the UK. Just 28 per cent think the US President is an ally & 30 per cent think he's an enemy of the UK. Whole idea of the special relationship seems in tatters. https://t.co/hzrVVzfyJj
I’m loving this. The future for the UK lies in a loose but friendly relationship with Russia (and, if possible, the rest of Europe), not with the outworn UK-US “Special Relationship” which, for at least the last 70 years, has been a one-way colonial relationship, with Britain as the colony.

The problem here is that many people will, foolishly, look up to someone called “Professor”-somebody, even if the person concerned is basically a TV talking head and science popularizer, and even though the rank of “professor” has anyway been devalued in the past 30+ years by the proliferation of “universities” in the UK, and the consequent growth in the number of professorships, some of which are in the Mickey Mouse area.

The scamdemic/panicdemic is still accepted by many as something real, rather than a massive hoax which basically temporarily reclassified influenza as “Covid”, and then pretended that a kind of Black Death was stalking Europe, thus opening up (as the WEF —World Economic Forum— crowed at the time) an opportunity for a “Great Reset” of society, including strict controls on free speech, travel etc.
The propaganda around “Covid” bit deep. I still see, years later, the odd loonie wearing the useless cloth facemasks once mandated by ill-intentioned bureaucrats and plotters (such as the infamous Professor Ferguson).
In fact, in the past few weeks, I have seen four such facemask loonies, one a pink-haired, fat, and youngish (twenties/thirties?) woman employee at a Tesco supermarket about 5 miles from my home, a second one also a Tesco employee, though without the coloured hair; the others two very elderly women shopping at the same store.

Kemi Badenoch's defence of Israel's shameful detention and deportation of British MPs is just the latest example of a politician whose real loyalties lie elsewherehttps://t.co/PvSUGRFwkt
Kemi Badenoch may have a British passport but is not really British; she is a Nigerian. Her mother deliberately had her in London so that she, Kemi, would be “entitled” to a British passport (and have the “right” of residence in the UK). Kemi Badenoch was brought up in the USA and Nigeria and did not return to the UK until she was at least 16.
Kemi Badenoch is an African with very shallow roots in the UK, is a puppet of the Jewish/Israel lobby, and believes that only those with significant money should have any rights. Bin her.
Not my opinion alone (though it would not concern me if it were). Opinion polls now have the “Conservative” Party around 20%, which (as far as I know) is the lowest level of support ever.
There is every chance that, in the Runcorn and Helsby by-election (1 May 2025), the Con Party will end up in 3rd, possibly 4th, or even 5th place (after Reform UK, Labour, LibDem, and possibly Greens).
Of course the two MPs deported from Israel are also not really British…

[“You do know a Labour MP was just arrested on child sex charges don’t you? How many Labour MPs and councillors arrested so far in the last 12 months? 6! 4 of which are paedophiles. Labour MPs: 1.Dan Norris: On April 5, 2025, Dan Norris, the Labour MP for North East Somerset and Hanham, was arrested on suspicion of rape, child sexual offences, child abduction, and misconduct in public office. The allegations pertain to incidents from the 2000s and a rape allegation from the 2020s. Norris has been released on conditional bail while the investigation continues, and the Labour Party has suspended him, removing the party whip. 2.Mike Amesbury: In February 2025, Mike Amesbury, the MP for Runcorn and Helsby, was jailed for 10 weeks after pleading guilty to assault by beating. The incident occurred in October 2024, and Amesbury was suspended by the Labour Party following his arrest. Labour Councillors: 1.Lee Laudat-Scott: In July 2024, Lee Laudat-Scott, a councillor in Hackney, resigned after being charged with sexually assaulting a child under 13. His arrest marked the second paedophile scandal in Hackney Council within a year. 2.Ricky Jones: In August 2024, Ricky Jones, a councillor in Dartford, was arrested and subsequently charged with encouraging violent disorder. This followed a speech he made at a counter-protest in Walthamstow, where he allegedly called for violence against far-right protesters. The Labour Party suspended him pending the outcome of legal proceedings. 3.David Graham: In early 2024, David Graham, a senior Labour councillor in Fife, Scotland, was arrested and charged with alleged child grooming offences. Following his arrest, the Labour Party suspended him, and he was due to appear in court at a later date. 4.Desmond Gibbons: In late 2024, Desmond Gibbons, a former Labour councillor on Gedling Borough Council, was sentenced to 21 months in prison after being found with over 600 indecent images of children, some as young as three years old. Gibbons had resigned from the Labour Party and his council position prior to his sentencing.“]

Interesting, but I am more interested in both the present main culture, i.e. our own, the “Germanic-Anglo-Saxon-American” (as Rudolf Steiner put it), and the next main culture (which still lies fifteen hundred years in the future), the Russian/Slavonic.
At present, the Russian culture is almost entirely a borrowing from older cultures, mainly the Graeco-Roman culture and our present “Western” culture, just as Northern Europe only had “borrowed” Graeco-Roman culture until around 1400 AD (or “CE”) and the eruption of the Renaissance, which was essentially a brief recapitulation of the Graeco-Roman age.
There are, as yet, only indications, seen here and there, of that future Russian culture.

So Starmer, with a potentially disastrous by-election (Runcorn and Helsby, 1 May 2025) coming down the track, is suddenly making meaningless “tough” noises about immigration gangs etc.
One thing is sure: the migration-invasion will not be stopped by such measures, even if implemented.
As far as Starmer is concerned, both as “world leader” or “statesman” (in his own little mind), he has, so far, managed to alienate both Russia and the USA, as well as 90% or more of the British people.

“Study the polls and see why Farage and Reform genuinely have a chance to govern.
Public put the Reform leader top in ‘best PM’ poll
Nothing is sticking. New polling for The Telegraph by Ipsos reveals that when asked who would do a “good job as prime minister”, Farage comes out on top on 28 per cent. Keir Starmer is one per cent behind, and Ed Davey two per cent. Badenoch is languishing at 18 per cent, her step-by-step approach to formulating a new set of Tory policies failing to register with voters who are still not listening to the “natural party of government”.
I went through the Ipsos numbers with Ben Butcher, our data editor, who identified just why Labour and the Conservatives should be worried.
“Labour is widely seen to be the party of the elite, with Reform trouncing Starmer with the C2DE and lower-paid respondents,” Butcher told me. The “red wall” is there for Reform’s taking, with the party polling well ahead of Labour amongst non-graduates.
“Ain’t nothing in the middle of the road but yellow stripes and dead armadillos,” said the American politician, Jim Hightower. As Davey attacks from the soft centre, Reform outflanks the Tories from the other side. The Conservative leader is on a perilous downslope, her skis pulling in different directions. Farage beats Badenoch with older voters, the working-class and lower paid people on the question of who would do a good job as Prime Minister.
“Let’s fix broken Britain,” Farage told 10,000 people in Birmingham. “I’m not mucking about.” The old parties that once commanded the comfortable heights of majority support are very clear that he is not.“

As I predicted during the “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic, Britain’s toytown police state, which had been developing slowly, embryonically, since the days of Blair, which grew (largely unnoticed) during the days of Cameron-Levita and Theresa May, and which hatched out during the “Covid” years of 2020-2022, has now started to behave like a real East German (DDR)-style police state.
When it comes to free speech, freedom of expression, even political freedom as formerly understood in this country, the police are now running out of control. This has been developing over about 25 years.
I happened, unusually, to be watching, this morning, I think on Sky, a political show hosted by Trevor Phillips. There was a panel of three scribblers/talking heads, and guests one by one, of which one was Yvette Cooper, Home Secretary (also, former expenses cheat, would-be dictator, moneygrubber, and member of Labour Friends of Israel).
Yvette Cooper did not even try to answer the concerns of the presenter about freedom, civil rights, “democracy” etc, just gave out a bland robotic, scripted response, in the old Blair-Brown way she learned back then (when not defrauding public funds).
In fact, the same was true when Yvette Cooper was asked about the Labour government of Starmer-stein and Rachel Reeves cutting off the benefit income of the sick, disabled etc. No real answer.
I hope that at least some of the voters of Runcorn and Helsby were watching. The by-election is set for 1 May 2025, the same date as the local elections. Voters, you know what to do. You have to vote Reform, even if you dislike Reform, or Farage, or the Reform candidate. Why? Because only a stunning win for Reform will send a message to the main System parties.
Only a dummy would vote fake Labour now. Even the “Con” governments of 2010-2024 did not go as far as the “Labour” (Friends of Israel) government is going, attacking people they think cannot hit back.
Of course, it would be stupid (especially at that upcoming by-election) to vote fake “Conservative” either. Not only because the Cons have no chance of winning at Runcorn and Helsby (only 16% in 2024) but because voting Reform increases the already-good chance of Labour losing.
Incidentally, unpleasant Helen Whately, the Shadow DWP Secretary, said in the Commons very recently that Labour’s callous and cruel attack on the sick and disabled did not go far enough! Surely the Conservative Party must be totally washed-up now.
Also incidentally, the panel on that show were all unimpressive, with one (Guto Harri) looking scruffy and unwashed.

From the horse’s mouth. If 2024 Conservative voters at Runcorn and Helsby want to stick it to Labour and Starmer-stein, then the only way to do that is to vote Reform. This could be the most important by-election of the decade.
In that by-election, a Con vote is a completely wasted vote, so either vote Reform, or stay home. Likewise, if 2024 Labour voters want to send a message to the present fake Labour-label regime under Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper, and Liz Kendall, then the only way to do that is to vote Reform or, failing that, to stay home.
“A 12-year-old girl was forced into carrying out an abortion by one of her alleged rapists, a court has heard.
The schoolchild was coerced into being filmed during the gang attack in Vienna, Austria, by multiple teenagers from different countries.
The girl was attacked between February and June of 2023 in different locations across the city, with 17 people under investigation on suspicion of sexually abusing the victim.
Earlier this month, Austrian police said the suspects, mostly minors, included Austrian, Italian, Bulgarian, Serbian, Turkish and Syrian boys.
But the young girl’s 18-year-old ‘boyfriend’ was the first to be convicted of sexual abuse in a gang rape incident.
Named Wais S, the Afghan national reportedly knew the victim was underage, and impregnated her.
He also admitted to blackmailing her into aborting the child, coercing her to do so with videos of the pair having sex.
Wais was sentenced to just 15 months probation and £670 in damages.”

The more that I think about the upcoming Runcorn and Helsby by-election, the more I think that Reform are going to smash it.
No matter that I could imagine Reform with a better candidate (someone such as Matt Goodwin), though the Reform candidate seems voter-acceptable, anyway. The important thing, surely, is the hatred so many people now feel for the main System parties and even more —because of the feeling of betrayal— from Labour (in fact much more than for the Conservatives who, despite their appalling record 2010-2024, are now seen as near-irrelevant, finished, washed-up).
That’s before you even factor-in the fact that the Conservative Party is now led by a Nigerian woman who also seems totally clueless. Also, Kemi Badenoch’s thunder (on social security, tax, spending cuts etc) has been stolen by Labour. Labour is just a label now, and is even less social, let alone socialist, than the Conservative Party.
For me, it is telling that the Labour candidate for the by-election is trying to ape Reform, demanding the closure of hotels occupied by migrant-invaders etc. It is clear that Labour considers Reform to be its main rival, and not only at Runcorn and Helsby.
In the past nearly 9 months, the Labour “brand” has been totally trashed. The whole population, I should have thought, has turned away from Labour. Pensioners, the young, anyone receiving any State benefit at all, anyone anti-migration invasion, anyone with any genuine feeling for the English countryside, will not be voting Labour.
The petty corruption and sleaze of the Labour Cabinet may be dwarfed by the corruption of the past years of “Con Party” misgovernment, but the point, I think, is that people, especially in the North of England, somehow expected Labour to be somehow better.
The sheer “we are the masters now” arrogance and callousness exhibited by Rachel Reeves, Liz Kendall, Starmer-stein, and their lesser followers such as Torsten Bell, has disgusted millions.
People now, after only 9 months, see this Labour-label regime as being quite as bad, and in fact worse in every way, than those of 14 years of Conservative misgovernment.
I do not think that Labour’s appalling handling of foreign affairs (by thick “diversity-hire” Lammy, as well as by Starmer-stein himself) will count for much at the by-election, either way, but people can surely see that Starmer has made a fool of himself by threatening to send (almost non-existent) troops to Ukraine etc. That is so even for people who support the Kiev regime.
I think that important factors at the by-election will include the continuing migration-invasion, the petty sleaze and corruption of Labour’s top echelon, the hypocrisy of the same, the sense of Britain as a country sliding to chaos and even civil war (albeit not this year), the behaviour of the former Labour MP, the wish to give Labour a real kick and, perhaps most important, the sense of total betrayal by Labour.
At present, both polling orgs and bookmakers predict a modest or narrow win for Reform.
I may be wrong, but I think we could be looking at a huge win by Reform. A win in the region of as much as 50% or even 60% of the vote-share. Labour? Maybe 20%-30%. Cons? 10% or below; maybe even a lost deposit.
This might turn out to be a very significant by-election result. If Reform can win it, the win might pave the way for dozens of others in this Parliament.

“Secret surveillance of Britain’s notorious double agent, Kim Philby, made public for the first time in archived documents, reveals how keenly the Security Service wanted to confirm or disprove early suspicions of his high-level treachery.
In daily bulletins submitted to MI5 in November 1951, undercover operatives describe how Philby, codenamed Peach, moved about London.
They said he gave “no outward sign of being either nervous or on the alert, but your well trained man should not do so; every movement is natural – again as it should be”
[Guardian]
The whole Philby thing has always been hugely overblown. Philby himself has been over-rated, too. Superficially well-educated, yes, but really a rather dogmatic Marxist-Leninist who, under other formative circumstances, might have been like some of the other basically mediocre professional-level bourgeois Englishmen I have met in my life, and who were not in secret-intelligence work but, variously, Roman Catholic converts, and/or military officers or barristers or other activity.
Philby was certainly no great mind, though he evidently thought himself very clever. Likewise, he was a bit of a plodder ideologically.
I recall that Philby wrote in his supposed memoirs (possibly part-ghosted by KGB helpers), My Silent War, or elsewhere, that “you choose your side and stick with it“, i.e. rather as others do to the Labour or Conservative parties, or to (the contemporary British obsession) football clubs. Unthinking loyalty. Stick-in-the-mud loyalty.
The puffing of Philby as the “masterspy”, or even “spymaster”, suited both sides in the Cold War: the Soviet side getting the gloss of having not only suborned Philby and other “Establishment” Englishmen to the Marxist/Soviet cause, but also having outplayed Western intelligence agencies in the spy game.
As for the British part of the Western side, Philby’s prominence could be presented as an example of why pervasive “security” (and the whole Cold War stance) was necessary. Also, his supposed “brilliance” in a way bolstered the reputation of institutions such as the more expensive English schools (Philby was at Westminster School) and, of course, the supposedly elite universities, in particular Cambridge.
The whole “Cambridge spies” story tends to puff the reputation of SIS and MI5 (despite their having been outplayed) by making their role seem terribly important. One scribbler even penned a well-known book called Philby— The Spy Who Betrayed A Generation, as if the Cambridge Spies were pretty much the centrepiece of British history since the 1930s, rather than an obscure footnote to it.
In the 1930s (when Philby started to work for Soviet organizations), there was (in the first half of the decade) the Great Depression, and the initial triumph of National Socialism in Germany. In the middle of the 1930s to 1939, the Spanish Civil War, while in Britain itself, the economy was recovering and society changing .
Then, in the early/mid 1940s, there was the titanic Second World War (in the Soviet Union, the Great Patriotic War).
In Britain, after 1945, there were the great social changes of the 1950s and 1960s. By that time, the “Cambridge Spies” were mostly not even in the UK. Maclean and Burgess had fled in 1951, and Philby was in journalistic exile in the Middle East. The economic and social changes in the UK were the main events, together with the start of the disastrous migration-invasion of non-whites into the UK, and Britain’s retreat from Empire.
The “Cambridge Spies” were not even footnotes to much of that. Near-irrelevant, despite the obsessions of the Westminster Bubblers and newspaper scribblers.
What damaged Britain in the 1940s through to the 1960s, and then on to today, was not a few spies passing on information to the Soviet Union, but the abandonment of Empire, the importation of blacks and browns in vast numbers, the cultural decadence etc.
You often see Philby and his fellow Cambridge spies described as “upper-class” or even “aristocratic”. In fact, not one was of “aristocratic” background, though all (except Cairncross) were affluent or wealthy. Philby’s own father was from an affluent government-connected family [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_John_Philby] but a fact generally ignored or covered-up is that Philby’s mother, Dora, was half-Indian, a so-called “chi-chi” (pron. “shi-shi”), which may have subtly affected his loyalties.
General Kalugin, in his memoirs, describes how his superiors had the idea of using Philby, then in Moscow, as a kind of lure for potential agents in the West, by showing that he was respected, had a good life etc. His first meeting with the shambling drunken Philby makes a memorable picture.
Incidentally, Philby never learned to speak or read Russian beyond a rudimentary level, and had English-language books supplied to him via the KGB (presumably via people at the London embassy, and the diplomatic bag).
In the early 1990s, sometime around 1994, I was slightly acquainted with a Russian businessman living in London, and with an office in Regent Street, who had some legal business (I was a barrister at the time). We had lunch at least once at my Inn (of Court), Lincoln’s Inn. I recall that the Spanish waitress was very taken with “Ed” [Edvard] and his rather Scandinavian looks (he was from the Baltic regions) and even asked me later if I might effect an introduction for her (that never happened).
“Ed” was quite open about the fact that, prior to his taking to capitalist business activity, he had been in the KGB, though that would only have been, at a guess, for a relatively few years. He recalled having been at a lecture or two given by Philby in Moscow (he said that that had been at the Lubyanka).
Incidentally, those comments in the Guardian from the MI5 surveillance directorate in 1951 do tend to beg the question; after all, if a surveillance target is acting naturally, then either he is not guilty, or is literally acting (and/or has been trained to act) naturally, so in fact may be guilty. If, though, the target looks nervous, looks for reflections in shop windows etc, does that mean that he is guilty, or is he just a nervous wreck and/or afraid of being thought guilty? Wilderness of mirrors.

“Given that there is a lot of talk about changes to special educational needs provision and reform plans for the NHS, we should worry about what the government might focus on next. Equally alarming, it seems to me, is a belief in Downing Street that reviving the UK demands embracing the wonders of artificial intelligence, which Keir Starmer believes will have an almost magical effect on everything from social work to education, and realise his new dream of “totally rewiring government”. Because this is an administration so lacking in everyday humanity, that is a much more scary prospect than he and his colleagues seem to realise.“

Well, they are now no longer married, and he is no longer an MP. She appears to have set up some “organization” (possibly consisting only of herself) called “the Moderates”, which seems to lie politically between the LibDems and the David Cameron-Levita Conservative Party “compassionate Conservatism” scam of 2010-2015.
As for Goodwin, I recently flagged the possibility, no more, that he might be on the following trajectory— win a by-election (Runcorn & Helsby?) as a Reform UK candidate, take over from Farage the leadership of Reform (with Farage’s support), and then (once Reform has become the largest party in the Commons after the next general election ) become Prime Minister.
It might just happen.
However, as that tweeter “Serena Brown” notes, either the UK becomes again a homogenous society, or it does not. There would be no point in a Reform UK government if it were unwilling to take the steps necessary.
This is not merely about immigration, and certainly not only about that relatively small part of immigration which comes in via the infamous “small boats”. It is about the non-whites already here, who are breeding much faster than the English/British, who themselves are not even reproducing their own numbers.
When we see Reform, we notice that it is ideologically in hock to the Jew-Zionist lobby, and pathetically adherent to Israel and Israeli interests.

Starmer-stein is not a Labour prime minister (even of the Tony Blair/Gordon Brown type); he is a Labour Friends of Israel prime minister, and that applies, mutatis mutandis, to virtually his entire Cabinet.
Starmer-stein and his Cabinet should face real resistance from the British people.
Meanwhile, Starmer-stein continues to try to play the “world statesman” and would-be war leader, and looks ever-more pathetic as he makes that attempt.
NEW POST. NHS Insider — We should train more British young people to become doctors instead of importing less well qualified doctors from abroadhttps://t.co/ZJggUPTtLI
When simply noting the totally obvious sounds radical…
That influx of non-white doctors has another consequence: by reason of the high pay received by doctors in the UK, any offspring are automatically given a better life-chance than most white English/British children. The knock-on result is that more non-whites are going to be placed into the higher socio-economic groups in the UK, thus further weakening our civilized European culture and society.

Yes we know… but what will @reformparty_uk actually do about it? All I hear is watered down rhetoric, political impossibilities…. Where is the solution – isn’t that how you win? Give us a credible solution, not garner votes out of the good British publics desperation.
Exactly. Reform is the last hope of many, but it is also the last chance for the System itself to survive. If Reform is squashed or disappears, we are looking at quite likely civil war, or social war, and the national revolution, down the line. However, if Reform manages to be either the largest or second-largest party after 2028 or 2029, or even in government with a Commons majority, but then fails to take the steps necessary, we shall also be looking at not-unlikely civil/social war.
We must not forget that the Jew-Zionist element is embedded in Reform. One only has to look at the pronouncements of Farage, Tice, and now Goodwin.
Still, at present, Reform UK is the only game in town:
Phenomenal growth for Reform in just 8 months:
-14% to 26% in national polls -160,000 members (220k total) -465 branches set up -30 events across country -will stand in ALL local seats
Hopefully, that little bully will be found and prosecuted, but of course his punishment, if any, will be slight, in the present society.
When the law ceases to be respected, or enforced (by reason of weak and/or politicized police, prosecutors, courts), such lawlessness leads, in the end, to the public taking the law into their own hands, and meting out more condign punishment to evildoers.
Not for nothing has “the Bailey” (Central Criminal Court, London) the following inscription on its facade: “Punish the evildoer, and protect the children of the poor“…
A deeply unpopular left wing prime minister or a man propped up as the anti-immigration right wing candidate by the same media that pretends to oppose him.

It will be recalled how warmly Starmer-stein welcomed Farage into the chamber of the House of Commons for the first time.

Over £7.5bn in universal credit is spent on foreigners as more than one million non-Britons claiming benefits. Also when given leave to remain, they also qualify for state pension!
There is your savings @RachelReevesMP NOT the sick, disabled and vulnerable UK nationals !!

“The government says it wants to make significant savings on welfare payments to the disabled and help the disabled into work. The point, say all ministers – led Sir Keir Starmer – is not to harm the disabled, but to free them from a life of dependency. That, they claim, is why this is a truly “Labour” reform — and not just brutal cuts engineered by Rachel Reeves because she needs billions in savings so as not to breach arbitrary, self-imposed fiscal rules on the assessment date of 26 March. Is any of this plausible?
The first thing to say is the point of fiscal rules should be to help focus minds in government about how best to share scarce resources between different important resources. They should not set hard deadlines for making decisions with potentially profound consequences for the lives of millions of people.
We’ve already seen an example of the political dangers of trying to rush through changes to personal independence payments (PIP) and the health related elements of universal credit – because one element that was particularly upsetting to Labour MPs has already been dropped, namely a one year freeze on PIP payments.
But as my colleague Anushka Asthana has been exclusively disclosing for the last ten days, this was only one part of the welfare reform package. The other elements were to restrict entitlement to personal independence payments, while cutting the health-related universal credit payments and recycling those UC savings into an increase in the standard rate of UC. You can see in this the simple story and perhaps simplistic story about welfare payments to the disabled that the government believes and is trying to tell.
First, that hundreds of thousands of people receive cash to help with their living and mobility costs, but don’t “deserve” it.
Second, that the structure of UC payments provides too great an incentive to disabled people to sign themselves off work to get the health-related benefits top up.
Starmer will doubtless take comfort from the fact that – according to polling by the Good Growth Foundation – 60% believe the system provides too much support to people who don’t want to work and 39% think that it’s too easy for people to get benefits who don’t need them. But popular belief does not make it true. And before going further into the nitty gritty, it is worth doing a quick economic reality check. It is a fact that the proportion of British people in employment has fallen since Covid and, unlike many other rich economies, has not recovered to 2019 levels. But the proportion of British people who are working remains high by international standards. According to the OECD, in the third quarter of 2023 the UK ranked fifth in the world, with an employment rate of 74.9%, well ahead of the US for example, and behind only Iceland, the Netherlands, Japan and Germany
Even if it is a laudible ambition to encourage more people into work. The UK’s is not an economy whose failure is that too few people are working. The grotesque failure of the British economy is hardly a mystery.
It is that living standards for those in work have barely increased for more than 15 years and too many of those in work receive too little to pay even for food, energy and other essentials.
Pretty much every competitor country whose employment rate has recovered to pre-covid levels has higher productivity and higher wages than the UK. Which might tell you that Britain’s problem is not that its benefit system is skewiff but that it’s the labour market itself that is broken, that remunerated toil in Britain delivers inadequate incentives. And by the way, we don’t have a benefit system in the UK that is remotely generous or lavish by international standards.
Research published only last week by the National Institute for Economic and Social Research showed that we spend less on welfare as a share of GDP than the average for developed nations.
Also when it comes to the so-called replacement rate – what any unemployed person receives as a proportion of earnings from employment – only the unemployed in Australia and the US receive less.
Unemployment payments are significantly higher everywhere else in Europe, for example.
And another thing. As the Joseph Rowntree Foundation has shown, standard universal credit does not cover the costs of basics and essentials, for families or single people. “Ah ha!” you may exclaim, especially if you are the PM or chancellor. Surely this proves that there is a unhealthy incentive in the UC system for any claimant to prove that he or she has “limited capacity for work or work related activity” – to be diagnosed as unfit for work – so that their UC entitlements would go (for a single person) from £400 to £823, a month. But is an extra £106 a week the kind of incentive that would persuade a vulnerable person to permanently shut down their availability for work?
And if it were cut and partly offset by a rise in standard universal credit – which is what Starmer plans – would that persuade the vulnerable person to look for jobs?
That doesn’t feel compelling as an argument – especially in a world where most employers are reluctant to employ disabled people, let alone retain them on their books.
So another concern about the timing of these welfare changes is they come well before the findings of an equally important government review, that by former John Lewis boss Charlie Mayfield about how employers can be helped to retain and hire disabled people. Later this week he will publish his “discovery” document, about why employers struggle to keep in employment those who start to feel unwell, especially those suffering from mental ill-health. However Mayfield is still months away from recommendations.
In other words, it feels cart-before-horse to take cash from the disabled before a new support system is in place for employers to keep on their books those who are struggling.
As for the proposal to increase the threshold for those claiming the PIP, this will have an impact both on new claimants and those in receipt who are subject to review. How many disabled people could see their PIP payments reduced or withdrawn altogether?
Very large numbers indeed, according to the Resolution Foundation if it remains the Treasury’s aim to find net savings of up to £6bn by 2029-30. Louise Murphy of the Foundation estimates that more than 600,000 people, most on low incomes, would lose £675 a month on average.
Obviously this is all still hypothetical. Proper judgement awaits publication of the Liz Kendall’s policy paper tomorrow. But a change in entitlement on that magnitude will generate massive anxieties in those who both receive PIP and may need it in future.
None of this is to argue that any government should ignore the forecast that on current trends the cost of PIP is set to rise by £15bn by 2029 or that large numbers of especially young people are being excluded by disability from the world of work too young. It is to suggest that reforms that could reduce benefit bills in the long run will require large expenditure in the short term on mental health provision, skills, rewiring coaching and job search at the DWP, occupational health support for companies and so on.
A rational approach would see the costs of supporting the disabled rise in the short term. It would be an investment programme, not a cuts programme. With the supposedly all-important fiscal assessment looming, we’ll see if that’s what Starmer , Kendall and Reeves unveil. 2/2“

A long comment, but important.
For me, the answer to all this a a “basic income” system, whereby all citizens (note, citizens, not any African or Afghan or similar just off the boat) get some modest amount of income regardless of any factor such as contribution, need, or “deservedness”.
That would also save vast amounts by enabling the shutdown of 95% of the DWP bureaucracy.
