I saw that little weasel on TV, smirking by the side of “Rachel from Accounts” Reeves in the Commons. Only now can I identify the bastard.

Here he is, being questioned by Victoria Derbyshire:

A weaselling little hypocrite, like so many of Starmer-stein’s “senior” appointees.

Darren Jones: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darren_Jones.

I suppose that I am old-fashioned enough to tend to think that someone called “Darren” should never be an MP in the first place but, leaving that (which I concede is probably unfair) aside, this particular Darren is the very personification of the German saying “put a beggar on a horse and he rides it to death.“

According to Wikipedia, the weasel is married to some fake “social entrepreneur” whose business failed. She is now apparently making money out of the “net zero” nonsense championed by the fake “Labour” government of which her own husband is a key member.

Jones is a member of Labour Friends of Israel, like all or almost all of the Starmer-stein government.

Listen to his dishonest weaselling in that Victoria Derbyshire interview. A soulless, heartless careerist.

It is almost funny how typical Westminster Bubble scribbler/talking-head types such as Nicholas Watt talk about speculative economic figures as if they have some kind of reality. “Real disposable household income to rise this year by twice as much as expected“…as of now, just empty words from “Rachel from Accounts”; meaningless.

I agree. Basic Income (at some level or levels) is the way to go. Do away with making amputees, the chronically-sick, and/or the unemployed jump through hoops. Shut down 90% of the DWP, and much of HMRC (which latter is like something written by Franz Kafka).

Not just a question of fairness or compassion. Basic Income works.

The first test of the public mood will probably be the Runcorn and Helsby by-election, about which I have blogged in the past few days. The pollsters and bookmakers are forecasting a probably marginal or modest win for Reform UK. I disagree, though I do see from where that comes, looking at the fact that, in 2024, the constituency was the 16th-safest Labour seat. However, much has changed since the General Election of 2024 and, in any case, only 4 out of every 20 eligible voters voted Labour even in 2024 (4 out of every 12 actual voters) in the country as a whole.

I am thinking that Reform will smash the by-election, despite the fact that Labour got over 50% in 2024 while Reform only got 18.1% (Cons 16%).

Everything has changed since July 2024:

a. the imperative desire to kick out a “Conservative” government headed by a (perceivedly) “unelected” and non-white PM (by voting Labour) is no longer there;

b. the continuing migration-invasion;

c. the harsh sentences given to people who supported the anti-invader protesters last summer;

d. the taking away of the pensioners’ Winter Fuel Allowance money;

e. the freeloading —and what amounts to casual petty corruption— of Starmer-stein, Rachel Reeves, Angela Rayner etc.

Now also the latest terrible attack on the sick, disabled, and unemployed, as bad as anything done by the Conservative Party in office 2010-2024.

Former Labour voters will either not vote or will change to Reform, to punish Labour. Former Conservative voters will (though how many ?) vote Reform as a quite (and the only) realistic way of sticking it to Labour, Starmer-stein and Rachel Reeves etc. People who favour Reform anyway will be motivated to vote because they know that this time they can win. People normally perhaps unlikely to vote, but who want to yell “NO!” to everything happening in this country, will mostly vote Reform.

On that basis, I think that it is possible that there could be a stunning win for Reform. If that happens, it will be the death-knell of the Starmer-stein fake “Labour”-label government, despite the fact that it has 4+ years left in office, in theory.

Election Day has not yet been notified but is widely expected to be 1 May 2025. Just under 5 weeks from today.

There is no Labour Party now, as previously understood, just one of the several labels behind which is NWO/ZOG, Israeli manipulation, Jewish-lobby manipulation etc. The Conservative Party is the other main label. Both are losing not only public support, but almost all connection with the public.

Many of the present MPs only fear one thing.

Leaving that aside, it will be great to see hundreds of those petty careerists lose their seats, and their salaries and expenses. That was the best thing about the 2024 General Election, when hundreds of “Conservative” MPs lost their comfortable way of life. I hope to see the same (if not more, and “worse”) applied to the present Labour Party MPs.

Nearly 2,000 of the bastards in a single week. Sometimes, that number arrives in a single day. All expect to be sheltered, fed, given medical services, transport, pocket money…

“Refugees welcome” idiots such as Zoe Gardner (@ZoeJardiniere), Yvette Cooper etc have encouraged this aspect of the overall migration invasion, yet they themselves live in comfort, and far from the mean streets where the tragedy is mostly played out.

Acc. to Electoral Calculus, that translates to 215 Commons seats for Reform (largest party, but a plurality and not a majority: Lab 153, Con 151, LibDem 61, Greens 6 etc). A minority Reform government, with some kind of Con support, probably.

https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html

“I think there’s been some confusion online in recent weeks so let me clarify my view If you arrive illegally in this country you should be deported If you are a foreign national and break the laws of this country, you should be deported And if you are a dual national who is convicted of rape gang activity, you should be deported If you read my Substack newsletter or watch my show you will know these are my views and yes I have changed my views in recent years I think losing control of our borders while presiding over mass controlled immigration has been one of the most extreme and damaging policies the elite class has pursued It will go down in the history books as one of the biggest policy failures on record It has undermined our economy, divided our nation and weakened our democracy Only by doing what I suggest above, alongside dramatically slashing the amount of legal immigration into Britain, and removing Indefinite Leave to Remain, will we restore public trust in the system and our democracy Where I draw the line, however, is against those who think it is somehow desirable or possible to deport British nationals. It is neither. Which basically puts me where the average voter is. So that’s where I stand. Remove those who break our laws while respecting the British people who respect and uphold our laws.“

There you see the weakness of the Matt Goodwin/Farage/Reform UK position. Blacks, browns, and others with a piece of cardboard called a “British passport”, are apparently OK to stay, and to breed.

That would still mean that Britain will become majority non-white sometime later this century.

Unacceptable.

History repeating itself?

I doubt that Russia wants Poland. Still, the Polish leadership should tread more carefully.

I was just looking yesterday, as I drove through, at the shopping area in the town very close to where I live. An affluent small town in coastal Southern England.

The big chains are mostly still there (Boots, Costa Coffee, Greggs, Holland & Barrett, M&S food hall, Waitrose etc), but the small independent shops have, many of them, closed up and disappeared. Why? Well, as I predicted at the time would happen, the sinister yet farcically-stupid “Covid” “rules”, “laws”, restrictions etc, so unnecessary (and utterly ridiculous), killed off those small businesses (despite furlough payments etc), and the knock-on effects of a poorer population also drove those shops to the wall over the past few years.

Examples? Well, the small barber-shop I once used, run by an old retired merchant seaman and his wife, which also employed a few local ladies, is no more. The old man died (nothing to do with the scamdemic/panicdemic, by the way), and his wife decided that she preferred to shut up shop. However, that was 2-3 years ago. The shop remains empty, as are those on either side (formerly a computer and office supplies place, and a junk shop).

A couple of new barber-shops have opened in the nearby High Street, true, but those are staffed by non-Brits (either Turkish or Kurdish).

I noticed, yesterday, that several small cafes are now closed, as is what had been a Cornish pasty shop. Some independent clothes shops too.

I went to the local Waitrose for the first time in months, mainly because I had £50 in gift tokens, and found that it has further declined since last summer. Not as many customers as there used to be at a similar time of day. Still, I bought 6 or 7 jars of red caviar, so that must have helped them.

More seriously, it is clear that people in the UK have been made much poorer not only because of the “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic and its knock-on effects, but also because pay —not only recently but over the past few decades— has not kept pace with inflation, and particularly inflation in that most basic of needs— shelter, or housing.

Now “Rachel from Accounts” Reeves is sucking money out of the economy, and particularly out of the retail sector. The result will be further economic decline.

A measure of Basic Income must be the way forward.

That reminds me of the hypocritical part-Jew, David Cameron-Levita, who despite inherited tens of millions, went all-out to claim disability benefits and Carer’s Benefit for his sick and disabled child, but later —via Iain Dunce Duncan Smith and the Jew “lord” Freud— took away the same monies from poor people who really needed the cash.

[“Where did you go, Charlie? Well, hello everyone! Yes, it is really me. I am back! As a great number of you had noticed, I have been missing online for almost two months now. I disappeared almost as soon as the trial for the Southport Massacre ended. Public opinion and concern has been split as to why I went missing; between those who thought I had a breakdown after covering the massacre, and those who thought I had caved to government pressure to stop reporting upon the cover-up. Neither of these, thanks to the strength of public feeling and the support of my colleagues, is true. What really happened? Three days after the trial ended, my X/Twitter account was hacked. My profile remained intact; live but inactive. Except for one thing…My viral timeline of the Southport massacre had been unpinned and DELETED. This timeline had been collated on the day of Axel Rudakubana’s sentencing, and detailed exactly what had taken place on that dreadful summer’s day in Southport. It exposed how the UK Government had failed time and time again to prevent this monster from moving about with freedom, and what they and other authorities had done to cover-up their incompetence, and the devastating consequences of their political agenda. This timeline had been see by 50 million people within 3 days – and was recognised as one of the most authoritative records of the Southport massacre. But, just as my account was gaining momentum, and I had the platform to explore the depth of the corruption in this case – including the anti-white sentiment of Rudakubana being glossed over by the Establishment and mainstream media – this detailed timeline of evidence was deleted, and I was locked out the account until this morning. (More on this to follow.) I do not know who did this to me, or what caused X to withhold my account from me for almost two months. But there is one thing of which I am certain: Whoever did this did not want the hideous truth about the Southport Massacre in the public domain…“]

Maybe GCHQ, maybe 77 Brigade, maybe some other actor.

That is good, because eventually the people will seize at the most radical alternative potential salvation— social nationalism.

“Mark Lewis Lawyer”— latest

Lewis will have to scuttle back to Israel if he wants to avoid being sued by his own former (?) clients and/or his own colleagues, I think…

Look at them… Like a pair of ghouls.

Those tweets from James Wilson, successful claimant in the libel case Wilson v. Mendelsohn, Newbon (deceased), and Cantor, refer to the dishonest and negligent conduct of some (and it seems all, from what Wilson is saying) of the Jewish lawyers instructed by the unsuccessful defendants in the matter (one of whom, a vicious social media troll and Zionist, committed suicide before the case finished).

This must be the death of the Labour Party as anything even notionally “socialist” or even “social-democratic”. It goes way beyond anything done by Blair and Brown, or even Cameron-Levita’s “Conservative” regime during 2010-2015.

Why would anyone, especially anyone English/British, vote Labour-label now?

The by-election at Runcorn and Helsby now takes on an importance few would have expected. It is or was the 16th-“safest” Labour seat. Now, Reform has a good chance of winning it, according to opinion polls, bookmakers etc. I would go further: Reform has at least a pretty good chance of smashing the by-election, and thus humiliating both Lab and Con.

At the 2024 General Election, Labour got over 50% of the vote. We are now in a different political world. Reform came second last year, ahead of the Conservative Party.

The by-election is between Reform and fake Labour. The Cons have no chance, and their former voters, if they want to bin Labour, should vote Reform, even if only tactically. That is, surely, obvious.

I blogged about the by-election in more detail yesterday:

Diary Blog, 25 March 2025, including a few more thoughts about the Runcorn and Helsby by-election

The madness of fomenting war with Russia continues

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14538621/EU-ww3-ukraine-russia-europe-war-survival-kit-global-conflict.html

“The European Union is pushing for every household in the 27-nation bloc to have a three-day survival kit ready in case of war or natural disasters.

EU crisis management commissioner Hadja Lahbib said the proposals will be formally presented today as part of a broader ‘preparedness strategy’.

Brussels is hoping to ensure every citizen is equipped for 72 hours of self-sufficiency amid the growing threat of continental conflict breaking out.

EU citizens will be told to stock up on a dozen key items, including matches, ID documents in a waterproof punch, bottled water, energy bars and a flashlight, as part of their ‘resilience’ kit. 

European leaders have said the invasion of Ukraine could soon break out into a ‘global’ war.”

[Daily Mail]

So what do the unfortunate people of the EU states and UK do once the 72 hours have passed, and the 3-days’ supplies have run out? Kill themselves? Kill the System politicians? (Hey, now… wait a minute…).

Lewis should be struck off the solicitors’ roll; it should have happened many years ago.

There are two ridiculous shibboleths around politico-economic discussion in the msm of the UK. The first is taking seriously the absurd “Office for Budget Responsibility” or “OBR”, which is wrong most of the time. The second is the phrase “the markets”, as in “the markets will not accept this, that, or the other“.

Start by stopping all aid and assistance both to the Jewish state of Israel and to the Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev.

Only revolutionary social nationalism can both save the UK and build something better for the future. We need to take control, and eliminate evil.

It only takes one individual to stand up, step up, and send a message that will never be forgotten.

I am sure that the migrant-invaders and other non-Brits will appreciate the free housing. Then they can start (or continue) to breed.

More of the green countryside lost to featureless sprawl.

About time that the British people awoke to the fact that most of those purporting to rule over them are their enemies.

[“Take a good look at Labour’s roll call of benefits scrounges: Keir Starmer, Angela Rayner, Rachel Reeves, Wes Streeting, Bridget Phillipson, Lucy Powell, and Anas Sarwar—each one a master of mooching off the system they claim to fix. Starmer’s hauled in £107,145 since 2019—£20,437 for a lord’s flat, £16,200 in suits, £2,435 for glasses, and £18,000+ in football tickets while fans queue for crumbs. Rayner’s £3,550 wardrobe and £1,250 New York getaway, courtesy of Lord Waheed Alli, scream entitlement—she can’t even dress herself on £150,000 a year. Reeves, our tight-fisted Chancellor, snatched £7,500 in outfits, while Streeting grabbed £1,160 Taylor Swift tickets as the NHS staggers. Phillipson’s £14,000 ‘event’ cash from Alli—birthday bash, anyone?—pairs with her concert freebies, and Powell’s £40,289 since 2019 marks her as a seasoned scrounger. Sarwar’s £10,117 in Scottish perks tops his MSP rivals. Together, they’ve gorged on £220,000 in shadow cabinet handouts—£700,000 across all MPs in a year—preaching equality while pocketing privilege. Hypocrisy doesn’t just drip from this lot; it pours, a rancid flood of greed proving they think rules are for us plebs and benefits are their divine right. Utterly revolting!“]

“To each according to his needs“…

Runcorn and Helsby by-election

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.

The 2024 General Election result is not helpful in analyzing this: Labour 52.9%, Reform 18.1%, Conservatives 16% [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runcorn_and_Helsby_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s]. However, that was then.

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.

I had thought that Matt Goodwin would use the by-election to launch a front-line political bid. Maybe he thought it too much of a risk, but risk is the lifeblood of politics.

Still, that lady has every chance of becoming an MP soon.

“They want not only their daily bread but also their daily illusion...” [Adolf Hitler, on the way the Germans of the Weimar Republic refused to face realities].

The only thing to do in England now is to make a complete revaluation of society.

Not sure how accurate is the contention that counter-intelligence is the “main function” of the FBI; not much, I think. The FBI was set up or, rather, re-established under J. Edgar Hoover (“the New Bu‘”) to deal with the wave of interstate criminality that arose after the First World War.

Counter-intelligence and counter-espionage was not its main role then, though Hoover did try to counter both Soviet espionage and, from about 1941, German espionage and sabotage. He had some successes, but was always likely to do whatever led to favourable headlines in newspapers, even if that might prejudice delicate investigations.

Zelensky should have been eliminated three years ago, as part of a swift and near-bloodless takeover. That never happened.

All in retaliation, persistent and inhuman retaliation, for an attack by Gazans on southern Israel about 18 months ago, during which hundreds of Israeli Jews died, though many from the “friendly fire” of their own armed forces.

Impressive but slightly (?) sinister at the same time.

Starmer-stein is a joke, a bad joke, as are Liz Kendall, “Rachel from Accounts” Reeves, Angela Rayner and the rest; Lammy is (arguably, and in a tight field) the most out of his depth, though. The “diversity hire” dummy posing as Foreign Secretary.

Historical footnote

[Philby on a 5-kopeck late-Soviet commemorative postage stamp, and described as “Soviet Razvedchik“, a term which might be translated as “intelligencer”, rather than the grubbier-sounding “spy” (in Russian, “shpion”); “razvedchik” is a more polite or dignified term]

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/mar/22/mi5-surveillance-british-spy-kim-philby-made-public

“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.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Philby

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).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oleg_Kalugin

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).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lubyanka_Building

Small world. “Six degrees of separation” etc…

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.

The sheer hypocrisy of the Labour Friends of Israel “Labour” government is simply unbelievable. Surely Liz Kendall, Rachel Reeves, Torsten Bell, Starmer-stein etc can see that? Or are they so removed from truth and decency that they cannot see it? That might be even more alarming.

I should imagine that even Labour-inclined voters will be voting Reform UK (or staying home) at the Runcorn and Helsby by-election, in order to send a message (and/or a kick) to this horrifyingly callous and irredeemably incompetent misgovernment.

As to Conservative Party loyalists in the area, I should say that the Cons have no chance— so vote Reform in order to stick it to fake Labour.

“Rachel from Accounts” knows no more about economics than George Osborne during 2010-2015. Both promulgating counter-productive fake “austerity”.

“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.“

Sumy Oblast or region is in NE Ukraine. Sumy city is NNW of Kharkov; about 150 miles from Kharkov by road but only about 90 miles as the crow flies. About 200 miles east of Kiev.

So Russian forces are in Sumy Oblast now. There seem to be Russian advances in all material parts of the overall front. Kiev-regime forces are falling back.

For those who are unaware of the outline of James Wilson’s (now-successful) libel case against three defendants (all Jews; in one case, possibly only a part-Jew), the defendants were advised and/or represented by Jewish solicitors and barristers who seem to have been, all or variously, professionally negligent and/or incompetent.

Mark Lewis and Daniel Berke were the main solicitors for the defendants, Beth Grossman of Doughty Street Chambers was the barrister (possibly the only barrister; I do not know, and only heard of her recently, via Wilson’s Twitter/X account and Substack blog).

“Lewis’s reputation“? Ha ha! Only ignorant fools think that that is worth more than a plugged nickel. I have blogged many times about him, over many years; he has never once threatened to sue me (no doubt partly by reason of my impecuniosity, but truth as defence –or other defences— may also have much to do with it).

I was unable to read the full article, by reason of the paywall; why would anyone pay to read that sort of ignorant rubbish?

Tell that to people who will now be deprived of much or all of their income because of this Labour Friends of Israel misgovernment (Liz Kendall, Rachel Reeves and, of course, Starmer-stein himself).

When “they” try to smile, it looks even worse. It rings false. A kind of automatic (or deliberate) rictus. A phenomenon often noticed in the past.

The only language most of the untermenschen understand.

Starmer-stein cannot even play the role of a “world statesman”, let alone be one.

Reality is finally breaking through.

Only a small number of NATO states really want Kiev-regime Ukraine to join the alliance. Maybe France, maybe the UK, the Baltic states, Poland, maybe a few of the Scandinavians. Out of 32 states, maybe 10-15. It will never happen. It was never going to happen, once the war started.

In any case, every NATO state has a veto. So, even leaving aside the USA (the most important of all, and the only NATO state with both nuclear and serious non-nuclear forces), Hungary would veto, Italy too, Slovakia too. Others as well, if push came to shove.

What makes the cruelty and brutality of the Israeli Jews worse is the fact that those they victimize have little or no way in which to defend themselves, at least not really significantly.

We see it time and again— the Jew-Zionists always think that they are the “victims”, even when attacking defenceless civilian populations from the air.

If Israel as a state were to disappear, the rest of the worldwide web would be far more easy to eliminate.

The Kiev regime “Ukraine” is not a real state at all, more like a shambolic and brutal criminal conspiracy.

If you go looking for trouble, you often find it.

That Torsten Bell idiot is so obviously a careerist and hypocrite. Frighteningly thick, too, for all the Oxford PPE degree etc, and with no real principles or ideals, or even ideas. Just a careerist drone. Sickening. This is neo-Blairism without even the fig-leaf of public good that Labour displayed 1997-2010.

I looked up the idiot: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torsten_Bell.

The Torsten Bell idiot reiterates the now-standard bs (first seen per Dunce Duncan Smith etc, during the 2010-2015 years of the Cameron-Levita “Conservative” government) about how cutting the income of those already poor or very poor somehow saves them from being “written off”! The sheer lying hypocrisy is stunning.

When I see lying hypocrites and System careerists such as Torsten Bell, I think “that is why you need concentration camps” (at very least).

I see from Wikipedia that that Bell individual is 42, 43 later this year; looks and sounds like a recent graduate, though he must have graduated 20 years ago. No weight, very very unconvincing, and also very plainly in it (politics) for his own benefit.

That little Torsten Bell blot seems oblivious to the fact that, in contrasting what the Starmer-stein “Labour”-label misgovernment is doing with what he calls the “Tory welfare system“, he is actually presenting even the cruel/callous policies of the Conservatives from 2010-2024 as having been better (less cruel and less callous) than those of Starmer-stein, “Rachel from Accounts” Reeves, and Liz Kendall.

“@Annette43589806

My illustrious MP , parachuted into a safe Labour seat ,he’s a despicable man. This happened to my husband who is now dead . The pip process is dehumanising.”

I thought that that tweet was worth reproducing in detail, especially since the lady who tweeted it later deleted it for some reason (possibly upset).

Voters of Runcorn and Helsby, send this evil “Labour”-label misgovernment a message by voting Reform at the upcoming by-election. No matter if you do not like Farage, or disagree with some Reform policies. The thing to do is to stick it to both Labour and the equally-misnamed Conservatives.

In an ideal world, I should like very bad things to happen to many System politicians but, in view of the fact that we live in a gradually-encroaching police state, I prefer to say no more, and to let the readers of the blog read between the lines.

Labour support declining even among formerly enthusiastic young people (I think it stood at about 80% at one point a couple of years ago); interestingly, Reform support has grown from just a few percent to 13% over the past couple of years.

Because Starmer-stein’s own attitude has transmitted itself to his Cabinet and thence to almost all Labour MPs…i.e. “we are the masters now“, but I remember how rattled and, in a word, scared, they all were when the so-called “riots” (protests) happened last summer. I think they were at least slightly wondering whether they would end up dangling from lamp-posts, as happened to the Communist secret policemen of the HVA after the eruption of the Hungarian Uprising in 1956.

The arrogant and cruel attitude of the Starmer-stein government might and in fact would turn to grovelling supplication if a British uprising were to occur.

On the wider question, Basic Income is the only way forward.

If Reform can win the Runcorn and Helsby by-election, the momentum created will weaken fake Labour even more, and all but finish off the increasingly less relevant “Conservative” Party.

Britons need to adopt a similar attitude now. Dominated by nihilistic, self-loathing ideologues, our cultural and academic institutions are responsible for much of the anti-British propaganda we encounter. We must remember that WE, British taxpayers, fund these quangos, museums, galleries, universities etc. The government doesn’t have any money. It spends OUR money. If publicly funded institutions create anti-British exhibitions, lecture us on the evils of our past, give us a guilt trip about slavery and the British Empire, denigrate our heroes, or simply demoralise our people, they should lose their funding. That’s the most effective way to retaliate. From Arts Council England to Tate Britain and the National Theatre, potentially hundreds of these bodies are eroding national self confidence. It’s a war of attrition and it cannot continue. My thoughts with @TVKev on @TalkTV.”

Re. the case Wilson v. Mendelsohn, Newbon (deceased), and Cantor

Those tweets by James Wilson, the victorious claimant (plaintiff) in the libel case Wilson v. Mendelsohn, Newbon (deceased), and Cantor, refer to two of the solicitors (perhaps the only two) and barrister (perhaps the only one— I do not know) of the defendants.

As seen, all the lawyers shown are Jewish. All of the defence witnesses were also Jews, as were the defendants (one may have been only part-) .

As far as I know, every last one of the witnesses were Jews. The trial judge assessed those witnesses’ veracity and relevance as having been (in my own words) rock-bottom. Worthless.

One of the witnesses for the defence was the fanatical and obsessed Jew-Zionist barrister and, until dismissed, part-time judge (Recorder), Simon Myerson of Leeds/Manchester, infamous for his nasty and malicious tweets etc.

The successful claimant in that case, Wilson, a Northern English academic, did well to stand up to the usual Jew-Zionist “claque” and clique pressure (whereby “they” band together to relentlessly attack a victim).

Well, Wilson won, and now (because notorious Jew-Zionist solicitor, Mark Lewis, was apparently both dishonest and negligent in his handling of the matter, and may also have deliberately misled the Court) at least one of the defendants, Cantor, will probably lose his family home (not that I have any sympathy for him).

Well, if Wilson believes that, and has the evidence (as it seems he may have), he should complain to the Bar Standards Board: https://www.barstandardsboard.org.uk/for-the-public/reporting-concerns.html.

[“Get down there, where you wanted to send me, you unclean spirit!“]

She has a point.

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.

I have blogged previously about the bad joke that is Shabana Mahmood as “Lord Chancellor” and Secretary of State for Justice— a Pakistani woman whose total legal experience has been a 12-month Bar pupillage (decades ago), followed by a year as a salaried “gopher” at a firm of solicitors.

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.

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.

Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan; https://www.amazon.com.be/-/nl/Richard-Coudenhove-Kalergi/dp/1913057097.

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:

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“…

I agree, but it may be that Reform has to succeed but then crash and burn before a social-national movement (of any type) can arise.

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

…and cretins of that sort (Mark Field, Liz Truss etc) purport to have the right (and ability) to rule over us. Wall. Squad. End.

My question is whether Goodwin himself is going to be the candidate…

If so, the date of the by-election will soon be set, maybe even tomorrow.

“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.
