The USA, like the UK, has in its midst a Jewish, Zionist, pro-Israel “fifth column” that has infiltrated not only business, finance, the legal world, publishing, and the mainstream media, but the highest councils of national policy. That lobby is the problem.

In the USA, prominent non-Jew puppets of that lobby include the likes of Senator Lindsey Graham; in the UK, horrible little blots such as Michael Gove.

Of course, in the USA Jews comprise about 2% of the population, whereas in the UK the proportion is less than 1%, perhaps half of 1%.

MOSSAD (and Israeli services generally) have always engaged in false flag attacks, even in the 1950s, e.g. in Egypt.

There is a Jewish lobby and Israel lobby (effectively the same thing) cabal in each of the main UK political parties. Labour Friends of Israel. Conservative Friends of Israel. Now also Reform UK Friends of Israel. Why Reform? Because Reform might just win the next general election, so the (((fix))) has to be in, in advance, just in case.

Multiply that one by a million or more, and you get an idea of the scale of the problem.

My solution? Wall. Squad. End.

As an interim measure, the UK will have to introduce “Pass Laws” eventually, as were necessary in pre-ANC South Africa, to restrict the movements of non-Europeans.

Start with Shabana Mahmood, Sajid Javid, and Sadiq Khan. Oh, no, wait…they are “British” citizens (we are told)…

Wake up, Goodwin. There is no “special relationship”. You are showing your ingrained parochialism.

We have no war with Iran, the likelihood of one is very small, and so we have no need for any defence against Iran at this point. We may not like the backward aspects of the Iranian regime, but it is not our business to topple it, especially in concert with the Jews of Israel, which does interfere, constantly, in the UK: in our politics, laws, and culture, in our society generally.

Israel and the Jews have attacked the British people far more than any Iranians.

No, no, no. Only real English/British people should be allowed to stand for election. Only real English/British people should be allowed to vote. The alternative is eventual white genocide somewhere down the line and, in the interim, our becoming, at best, just one group among many, one bloc among many. Our destiny must be to rule, or it is nothing.

Incidentally, I am not just referring to Muslims.

Translates to a Commons with about 285 Reform UK MPs (41 short of an overall majority), 132 Greens (official Opposition), 78 LibDems, 57 Cons, 46 SNP, 28 Lab [etc].

On those figures, Starmer-stein himself would lose his seat, along with about 383 of his Labour Party colleagues.

A result like that might be the mess that could bring to birth real social nationalism. Let us hope so.

As usual, “they” are very “brave” when in a pack, and especially when facing a defenceless woman. What a repulsive tribe.

Translates to a Commons with about 394 Reform UK MPs (large majority), 60 LibDems (official but extremely weak Opposition), 52 Greens, 45 SNP, 44 Cons, and 29 Lab [etc].

As with the other poll today, on those figures, Starmer would lose his own seat (probably to the Greens).

Not only that. The people of 60+ years of age, and particularly those 80+, who are almost the only Con Party voters now, are either going to go Reform next time, or are not going to be around. I should not be surprised if the Con Party national vote at the next GE declines to 15% or even 10%.

Yes, that Linehan person is a horrible little man, who parroted the Jewish lobby line about me on Twitter when I was wrongfully and unlawfully disbarred in 2016. Nonetheless, when he got “cancelled” and temporarily lost his Twitter account and more, I supported his right to freedom of expression, thus gaining the moral high ground (as always). He is a horrible little bastard, though. A complete puppet of the Israel/Jew lobby.

Late thoughts

Whatever happens in the current ME conflict, one state already comes out as a winner— Russia. The world price of oil and gas has rocketed; Russia is a major producer of both. As the USA allows its dependent “ally”, Israel, to control US actions, American credibility slides worldwide, so that is a diplomatic win by default for Russia. Finally, the missiles and other weapons going to the attacks on Iran, and defence of Israel, will not be going to the Kiev regime. Overall, then, a tripartite win for Russia and Putin.

How utterly stupid so many standard British people sound these days.

What was it that I was constantly hearing on British TV until about a day or two ago, about how safe and nice Dubai is to live in?

In a century’s time, places like Dubai will be ruined and abandoned hulks sticking up out of the desert sands, the only visitors a few camel-borne Arabs.

Quite possibly, Tel Aviv will be similar.

Part-Jew nonentity, Tom Tugendhat MP, wants the UK to deploy its limited resources to help Israel, nothing else. Shut up, you fifth-columnist.

You need to go further. “Whites Only” at elections (both voters and candidates).

On those figures, Starmer himself would lose his seat in Parliament.

That poll translates to a Commons with about 394 Reform MPs (very large majority), 60 LibDems (official, very weak, Opposition), 52 Greens, 45 SNP, 44 Cons, 29 Labour [etc].

I look forward to something like that happening in a couple of years, or 2029, then to a pseudo-national Reform UK government which (in the pocket of the Jew-Zionist/Israel lobby, and unwilling to really tackle the “blacking and browning” of Britain, as well as being pseudo-“libertarian” and finance-capitalist) will be unable to “do de business“, and so will have to give way to real social nationalism.

Dan Hodges and other commentators keep saying that (at 35%, 30%, even 28%), Reform has reached its national electoral ceiling. Maybe so. At 35%, I would probably agree, but that is irrelevant as long as the Labour and Conservative parties are on 16%, 18%, even if they go up to 22% or more.

As for the Greens, so long as they remain below 25% (and at present they cannot even make it to 20 %; at present they are between 12% and 18%), there is no chance of their being able to form a government; they will, however, ensure that Labour cannot form one either.

That one would translate to Reform UK having about 336 MPs (small majority), Greens 88 (official Opposition but weak), Cons 74, LibDems 65, SNP 45, and Lab— 15! [etc].

The opinion polls differ slightly, but all have put Reform at the top, and usually well clear of the pack, for about 18 months now.

I had no idea that Sam Melia had completed the whole of his sentence actually in custody. If so, it must be because he refused to surrender his principles and refused to compromise. Well done.

“They” don’t change.

Yet the Jews still whine about alleged similar events in Poland and the Ukraine in 1939-1941, where other Jews were, they say, the victims.

A pack of extremely malicious Jews. Several of the leaders of that tiny but (of course) “well-funded” cabal have engaged in attempts to pervert the course of justice, and Falter himself has lied on oath in court more than once, in my opinion.

Trump remains what he was in 2016, when I, still then having a Twitter account (a pack of Jews had me expelled in 2018) described him as “a squawking parrot in a gilded cage, and guarded by a phalanx of Jews“.

I was right. I am right.

Iran will rebuild, and I think will dig ever deeper into those mountains over there, constructing missile factories and launch bases far below ground-level. Certainly conventional, possibly nuclear, missiles. One day, tens of thousands of drones will take to the air, followed by thousands of missiles. Their destination will be Israel, which will then be obliterated.

Regionally, the conflict has already put paid to 99% if not 100% of tourism to Dubai, for example. Who will be going there even if the airport re-opens?

As for oil and gas, it can be sourced from other parts of the world, but at a price. The “cat of the Kremlin” must be contemplating the cream…

Striking yet not sinking? I am not sufficiently informed to know what it takes to sink such a vessel these days.

Google AI says: “Four ballistic missiles can severely damage a large aircraft carrier, potentially disabling its flight deck and combat capabilities, but sinking a modern supercarrier likely requires more hits, according to naval experts. While a few missiles cause major damage, deep, watertight compartments and heavy armor are designed to prevent total sinking“.

So there we are.

That Alex Armstrong character is yet another pseudo-national GB News talking head. Israel, and the JQ generally, is always the touchstone. Anyone supporting the Jewish lobby is at best useless and stupid, at worst an enemy.

[“The Blair years (1997–2007) can be read as a “rewiring” of the British state: a huge burst of legislation that expanded state capacity, shifted key powers away from direct electoral control, and built legal frameworks that later governments found hard to unwind. The result, critics argue, is a UK that feels less governable: immigration pressures that look structurally “locked in”, an economy shaped by technocratic monetary policy rather than democratic choices, a voting system perceived as more open to abuse, and a general sense that the country is smothered in rules while basic competence and trust have declined. On immigration, the argument isn’t that Blair “caused” today’s numbers single-handedly, but that he helped build the modern machinery of mass migration management—and also raised expectations and rights around remaining in the UK. The Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 created the modern asylum support framework, including Section 95 support and the dispersal system (moving asylum seekers around the country rather than concentrating in London). In practice, dispersal entrenched a long-running national system of accommodation contracts, local authority impacts, and political flashpoints—so when asylum claims rose later, the infrastructure (and the costs) scaled up rather than disappearing. Later, the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002 further reshaped appeals, removals, and the legal pathways around asylum and immigration decisions. A critic’s point is that Blair-era reforms normalised a permanent “immigration management state”—and once you have a large legal-administrative apparatus for it, you rarely get smaller numbers; you get larger budgets, more contractors, more case backlogs, and more political dependency on the system. Blair’s rights framework is also central to this critique. The Human Rights Act 1998 brought the European Convention on Human Rights into domestic UK law, making rights-based challenges easier to bring in UK courts. While defenders say it prevents abuse, critics say it also made removals, detention, and deportation more legally contested and slower—especially once immigration law became heavily litigated. (That criticism is strongest when combined with later case law and later legislation, but the “plumbing” starts in 1998.) On the economy, the standout is the Bank of England Act 1998, which put interest-rate decisions in the hands of the Bank’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), i.e., operational independence from ministers. The case for it was credibility and low inflation. The case against it is democratic deficit and distributional pain. When inflation spikes, the MPC tightens policy by raising rates. That hits mortgage holders, renters (via landlords’ costs), and small businesses first. In other words, a technocratic anti-inflation tool produces very real household hardship, and there’s no politician directly accountable for the vote. The government still sets the overall inflation target remit (now CPI 2% in modern practice), but the day-to-day levers are independent. Critics argue that this framework can feel like the public is being “disciplined” for inflation that may have been driven by energy shocks, supply problems, or fiscal choices—yet the blunt instrument is paid for by ordinary borrowers. On democracy and postal voting, critics point to Blair-era changes that encouraged “convenience voting” and widened the surface area for fraud or coercion. The Representation of the People Act 2000 and related reforms helped normalise postal voting expansion (later accelerated by subsequent governments and regulations), shifting voting from supervised polling stations into homes and informal settings. The critical claim isn’t that postal voting is automatically corrupt; it’s that it is easier to pressure family members, harvest ballots, or exploit weak handling practices—especially in tight local contests. The fact that the UK keeps updating postal vote rules and resilience (including recent guidance and reform pushes) is often cited by critics as evidence the system needed “hardening” after expansion. In short: Blair-era reform opened the door; later years had to retrofit controls. Finally, complaints about over-legislation is really about a governing style: Blair’s New Labour embraced “delivery” via targets, regulators, new offences, new agencies, and constant statutory change. The partial architecture to this: Terrorism Act 2000 and RIPA 2000 expanding state surveillance powers; multiple criminal justice reforms; major reorganisations in health, education, local government; and a steady stream of “fixes” that created new compliance burdens. Even when individual laws had plausible aims, critics argue the cumulative effect was a society that is more monitored, more regulated, and less locally self-directed—yet not necessarily more functional. So, the critical “how we got into today’s mess” story goes like this: Blair set up systems that persist. An immigration management and rights framework that makes rapid reduction harder; a monetary regime that can impose severe household pain without direct electoral accountability; a voting approach that prioritised convenience and then had to be patched against abuse; and a legislative habit of constant intervention that expanded the state’s footprint everywhere. Even where later governments made different choices, they mostly did so inside the institutions Blair built—meaning Britain’s problems now feel structural, not just political.“]

Life is complex.

There are very many systems of numerology. Under one of the simplest (applicable to Latin-alphabet languages), A=1, B=2, C=3, D=4, E=5, F=6, G=7, H=8, I=9, J=1, K=2, L=3, M=4, N=5, O=6, P=7, Q=8, R=9, S=1, T=2, U=3, V=4, W= 5, X=6, Y=7, Z=9.


Under that system, Ian Robert Millard would be:

Ian 9+1+5 = 15. Then 1+5 = 6.

Robert 9+6+2+5+9+2 = 33. Then 3+3 = 6.

Millard 4+9+3+3+1+9+4 = 33. Then 3+3 = 6.

So Ian Robert Millard = 666.

Life is not that simple, though. I am not “the Beast” or, indeed, the ruler of the world but, like Parzival/Parsifal, a human soul hopefully “slowly wise“, and living the quietest and most peaceful and obscure of lives, at least most of the time.

I have blogged previously, several times, about the Gorton and Denton by-election. From (obviously) a considerable distance, I see it as being very close among Reform/Greens/Labour, but I just cannot see who would vote Labour now, in that seat or elsewhere.

Having said that, the one-third of eligible voters in the by-election who are Pakistani Muslims are hard to fathom. Many cannot even speak English, and their educational level is probably rock-bottom. Who knows what their motivations might be? Labour is said to have an effective electoral machine up there (though journalists say that little has been seen of Labour canvassers etc).

I can see the dilemma of the Muslim voters, perhaps unwilling to vote Labour because it is a Labour Friends of Israel misgovernment, also unwilling (perhaps) to vote Green because Green policies include the decriminalization of both drugs (all drugs) and pornography (all pornography?), yet unwilling to vote for the (supposedly) anti-migration-invasion Reform UK.

The Muslims would probably have voted for George Galloway or his candidate, but he has endorsed the Green Party candidate, thus greatly boosting the Greens’ chances.

I should imagine that most white English/British voters in the seat will be voting Reform; we shall see. To vote any other way would be turkeys voting for Christmas.

My own feeling is that Matt Goodwin, for Reform, could still do this, but it may run very close.

Reform’s weakness has always been its finance-capitalist and also its pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby orientation. Farage welcoming deadheads, freeloaders, and/or non-Brits such as Nadine Dorries, Nadhim Zahawi etc has weakened the Reform “brand”, no question. Matt Goodwin himself has openly criticized that, and Farage has (retaliation?) gone to the Chagos Islands (well, offshore there) instead of slogging it out on the by-election front-lines with Goodwin. Not impressive.

Were Reform more social-national, even it it fell far short of my policy positions, it would be on 50% in the opinion polls, not between 24% and 28%.

That poll shows not only Con and Lab, but also the Greens and LibDems almost on the same level: 18%, 18%, 17%, and 14%. Reform still leading the pack, though not convincingly.

Of course, a victory for Reform in the by-election would certainly give them a national boost.

Incidentally, that latest poll would indicate a Commons with about 291 Reform MPs (some distance short of a majority), Greens 80 (official, albeit very weak, Opposition!), Cons 79, LibDems 74, Labour 53, SNP 45 [etc].

I believe that that uninfluential Twitter/X account is or was run by a Jewish woman who tweeted once or twice, inaccurately, about me, though years ago.

Whatever the truth of that, Amazon is thoroughly under “the usual” baleful influence. I was once a “top 50” reviewer (in the UK) on Amazon UK, voted so by readers, but a concerted campaign of faked complaint by Jews meant that hundreds of my reviews were deleted with neither warning nor any right of appeal. One Jew, a “Daniel Sevitt” (now resident in Ra’anana near Tel Aviv, but of UK-resident origins) organized it, I discovered later (he admitted his crime publicly, online, and in fact appeared proud of his activity). He now “replies” on Twitter/X, and in very insolent terms to any anti-Israel tweeters (who never addressed him in the first place). Another Jewish-Zionist loonie. https://x.com/danielsevitt.

In fact, even the Jewish Chronicle reported on the then-“anonymous” complaint about my reviews, prior to their removal.

I then started to review on the Amazon USA site but, not long after that, and with no warning, every single one of my reviews was removed. Same Jew? I do not know for evidential certain, but it had to be. Anyway, who cares whether it was Jew “X”, Jew “Y” or Jew “Z”? Same thing.

Many of those reviews, probably the majority, were neither about Jews, Israel, WW2 etc, nor even mentioned those topics, incidentally.

So much for “freedom of expression”, not only in the UK but also in the USA. The (((influence))) is pervasive. For now…

Maybe one or two of those Iranian missiles being prepared will, in case of war breaking out again, go astray. One can but hope.

Israel was founded mainly by the sweepings of the ghettos and prisons of Europe, partly by terrorism and ethnic cleansing. “They” just have better weapons now.

If only civilized Europe (Britain, France) had retained control of the entire Middle East, as a joint imperial power. The Jews (in Israel, at least…) are now running wild. Savage. Cruel. As a reaction to their subordination and exploitation (and quasi-genocide) the Arabs and others have reacted against the West. The [Israeli] Jews and their fifth column in the West are responsible.

Incidentally, thanks to Google, I now know that “Akkoub” is this:

“It is highly prized in regional cuisine and culture, often considered a delicacy that appears for a short period in early spring (February–March).

Akkoub (Arabic: عكوب), known scientifically as Gundelia tournefortii and sometimes referred to as “tumble thistle,” is a wild, edible, and medicinal thistle-like plant native to the Middle East, particularly the Levantine region (Palestine, Lebanon, Jordan, Syria)

Key Aspects of Akkoub:

  • Taste and Usage: It is often described as having a taste similar to a combination of artichoke, asparagus, and sometimes cauliflower. It is typically prepared by frying with olive oil and onions, cooking in a stew with meat, or served with yogurt.
  • Preparation: Preparing akkoub is labor-intensive because the plant is extremely spiny. The edible parts (undeveloped flower buds, stems, and roots) must be separated from the thorny leaves.
  • Cultural Significance: In Palestine, it is viewed as a symbol of connection to the land, resilience, and identity.
  • Medicinal Uses: Traditionally, it has been used to treat various ailments, including liver diseases, diabetes, and digestive issues.
  • Harvesting: It is foraged from the wild rather than farmed, leading to concerns about overharvesting and sustainability.
  • “Eggs” (Bayd): In Lebanon, the undeveloped, tender flower heads are often referred to as “eggs” (bayd) because of their shape.”

Exactly. I do not know whether Farage is weakening Reform UK deliberately, or simply out of ineptitude. I have blogged before, some long time ago, about how Farage is not really a very clever politician. That of course sounds counter-intuitive after the repeated near-successes— UKIP, Brexit Party and now, writ much larger, Reform UK.

It seems absurd in a way, to think that Farage may be a System catspaw, but his actions are sometimes very strange for someone leading an insurgent political force. Also, when Farage entered the Chamber of the House of Commons for the first time, Starmer himself crossed the floor and welcomed him, with every sign of genuine bonhomie. Simple courtesy? “Democratic” politicians’ comity? Maybe…

The Reform “brand” has definitely been weakened by having the previously-Con ministers and MPs, mostly corrupt, freeloading, or incompetent, joining on a quasi-senior level.

There is something very fishy about the whole of Farage’s behaviour. Deep-cover NWO/ZOG agent?

Sample size, though typical, still only 401 out of nearly 80,000, i.e. 1 out of every 200 registered voters, about half of one percent.

The likely error margin must be several points, rendering the pecking order implausible. It may be correct, it may not be. On the figures themselves, only 1 point or less separates the three main contenders.

Anyone voting Conservative is wasting their vote; they should vote Reform. Tactical voting. Again, they may or may not do so.

In the other recent significant by-election, Labour and Starmer-stein were humiliated when Reform won by a mere 6 votes. It might be as close as that, either way, at Gorton and Denton.

This is just completely unacceptable in any society aspiring to basic decency.

As previously blogged, were I the Iranian leader, I should focus every missile and drone I had on Israel, particularly Dimona, Tel Aviv central areas (and wealthy nearby suburbs and towns), and ben-Gurion Airport. Then press the buttons.

Why wait until the Israelis and the “tail wags dog” Americans (under Jew-Zionist control or influence) attack you, and badly damage your military resources?

Is that true? I have no idea.

Again, surely that is too late? We are talking about a possible attack on Iran within days, quite likely.

Regular readers of the blog may recall that, weeks ago, I was thinking that the “big three” at Gorton and Denton (Reform UK, Green Party, Labour) would all come in around 30%, and that the result might be very close. Since then, my long-distance view has altered to the extent that I feel that Labour is lagging behind the other two, with Reform possibly leading marginally from the Greens.

Today, while I think that Labour has faltered and probably failed, it may still be able to muster about half of the 50.8% it scored in 2024. It has a well-oiled machine for getting votes out, as corrupt “democratic” parties often do. Still, my view remains that this will be between the Greens and Reform, and the Greens are being exposed as rather loonie as the days go by.

Many former Labour voters may simply abstain. Many undecideds may also abstain, but who knows?

If I had to guess, it would be Reform, and there is no doubt that Matt Goodwin is the standout candidate as an individual, but there is no certainty.

Starmer-stein’s failed regime is toast, though, unless Labour can actually win (and, realistically, win by a good margin, in view of last year’s 50.8%).

The Gorton and Denton by-election is only one seat, but a very solid Labour seat until last year. To lose it will send a strong signal that Starmer-stein’s government has run out of road with the voters.

In Dorset?! Good grief…

Representatives of the Israel’s Defense Army (IDF) in a statement to the “Ynet” portal:

Military officials warn that even the most advanced multi-layered air and missile defense systems are not able to completely prevent damage in the event of massive and prolonged attacks.“]

Israel is doomed in the medium-term, but it has to be noted that even the complete destruction of the Israeli state, should that happen, would not end the menace of Zionism in the rest of the world.

One does not have to be a Corbyn “supporter” —and no-one has ever accused me of that!— to see that the Jewish/Israeli lobby conspired against him, and finally had him toppled so that another (as it turned out, Starmer-stein) could pose as Labour leader. Thus, of the 2 main System parties of a few years ago, both were now back under (((control))), one having briefly escaped.

Reform UK, as I predicted, has now, now that it looks like being a, possibly the, major party, fallen almost totally under that very same influence and control…

Gorton and Denton by-election

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.

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.

More news: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2026/feb/06/labour-minister-intelligence-files-gathered-on-journalists-josh-simons

A Labour minister commissioned 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.

“Simons has cited “persistent failure” to tackle antisemitism for his resignation from Corbyn’s office.[4][5] He later contributed to the Equality and Human Rights Commission‘s investigation into Labour antisemitism.”

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.

That MP , a traditional Labour MP-type, has little to lose, his GE 2024 majority having been a mere 18 votes, and his win at Poole having been a fluke: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poole_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s.

Gorton and Denton by-election

I blogged yesterday about the upcoming by-election in a suburb of Manchester.

Earlier today, I mentioned my gut feeling (almost entirely unevidenced, I concede) that the Gorton and Denton Labour vote might collapse before the by-election is held.

Well, faux-revolutionary or “licensed Bolshevik” Owen Jones, scribbling in the Guardian, has been talking to the Greens, whose own polling in the constituency presently shows Reform at 39%, the Greens at 34%, but Labour trailing around 21%: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/feb/03/keir-starmer-gorton-denton-byelection-greens-labour.

A few more thoughts about the Gorton and Denton by-election

The opinion polls suggest that the contest will be between Reform UK and the Green Party. A few commentators are still saying that Labour might have a residual chance. It seems to me that this by-election is different than most —not all— previous ones, in that there is likely to be a split on racial-cultural lines.

Reports suggest that the Muslim, mainly Pakistani, element of the electorate will vote en bloc, and for the Green Party. They have been turned off Labour by reason of the fact that the present government consists almost entirely of Labour Friends of Israel members. The voters will have noticed Starmer-stein’s slavishly pro-Israel policies, and his many pro-Jewish gestures.

The Green Party is now led by a Jew, but one who is supposedly anti-Zionist and not favourable to the Israeli state. The Greens also favour a near-“open borders” immigration policy.

However, Muslims are less than a third of the entire electorate in that constituency. About 30%. Persons identifying as “Christian”, presumably mostly white British, with some of Irish or other origins, are over 40% of the electorate. Apparently, some 27% do not identify by reference to religion; I am guessing that almost all of those are white English/British too. In other words, it may be that about 68% of the electorate is white English/British or at least European.

https://henryjacksonsociety.org/religiousdiversity/cgi-bin/seatdetail.py?seat=Gorton%20and%20Denton

So assuming that most of the Muslims are going to vote Green, that still leaves nearly 70% of voters who may also vote Green, but are more likely to back Reform, or go elsewhere (or not bother to vote).

My guess at this stage is that rather few English/British (etc) voters will vote Labour. Only a few per cent of that group, probably; maybe 10% or, at outside, 15%.

So if it is true that Labour has lost most of the Muslim/Pakistani votes, and also most of its former English/British voter support (after Labour’s disastrous first 18 months in office), one has to conclude that Labour is very much on the back foot, despite the fact that, at GE 2024, Labour hoovered up over half the votes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorton_and_Denton#Elections_in_the_2020s.

The Conservative and LibDem candidates have no chance in this constituency. A few minor parties are standing, including George Galloway’s Workers’ Party. One can never entirely write off Galloway, but if he stands (or another, on his behalf), that will hit the Green and Labour votes, but not (at all) that of Reform UK.

In the circumstances, it seems to me that Matt Goodwin and Reform have every chance, but it might yet be closer than many think between Reform and the Greens.

Last updated 11 minutes ago

On June 25, 2024, 62-year-old driver Mark Hehir pursued the thief on foot from his route 206 bus in north-west London, leaving the vehicle unattended briefly. When the man returned and swung first, Hehir punched back once, an action police called proportionate, but Metroline fired him for breaching safety protocols on assault, vehicle safety, and company reputation. An employment tribunal upheld the dismissal as fair last week, even as MPs and a petition with over 9,000 signatures demand his reinstatement amid public outrage.
