Good Friday thought
I have no idea whether Keir Starmer-stein has said anything about Easter; I have seen and heard nothing, yet I saw on Twitter/X that he invited a load of Jewish children to Downing Street a week ago in commemoration of the Jewish festival of Passover.

“The world is not without kind people” [Russian proverb].
Yet another Labour Friends of Israel MP who has “never had a job” (a non-political job) (excepting some work for Facebook). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josh_Simons#Early_life_and_education.
Hopefully, the next general election will see him chucked out.
Is he one of those “Labour” MPs with some kind of CIA or US Embassy (London) connection? I do not know.
You do not have to be a Labour Party supporter to see that Labour Friends of Israel member Liz Kendall is a disgrace.
“Them” (as always…).
“Portes”. Once (((again)))…
Britain has been invaded and is being occupied: “legal” immigrants (supposed spouses, fiancees, students, work-visa holders, then illegal immigrants on “small boats etc”, then births to those non-white women already in the UK, and also to stupid white/British women impregnated by blacks).
Again, Reform in the top two places of an opinion poll. I think that all opinion polls for the past 6-9 months have had Reform either top or second.
The “Conservatives” have no chance after their 14 years of appalling misgovernment 2010-2024, especially now that their idiot MPs and ordinary members have (for the second time) chosen to be led by a non-white, non-British “leader”.
On the Opinium figures, the Commons would have both Reform and Labour on 228 MPs, Cons with 97, and LibDems with 43 (taking LibDems and Green as each having a 10% vote-share). https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html
As with so many other recent polls, a Reform/Con government would be the only possibility, on those numbers, or a minority Reform government.
Very different figures, but same basic story. On those numbers, though, Reform UK would have about 325 MPs, one short of an absolute majority, but enough for a very thin working majority, without the need for support.
On the numbers there, Labour would have 154 MPs, Cons 58, and LibDems 45. If that were to happen, the Conservative Party would be utterly irrelevant, and likely to decline to near-zero over time.
Not sure whether that likely Con terminal decline would be the best result, or whether the best consequence of such an electoral result would be that Labour would have only 154 MPs instead of 403 (as now). A loss of 249 MPs. 249 upset System drones (plus 63 equally-upset Con ex-MPs; wonderful again…).
Quelle surprise…

Kiev, not “Kyiv” or (as the BBC says it) “Keeev”…

… or any so-called “democratic” (System) political parties or their “elected” (selected) idiot-drones.
The time will probably come when very harsh measures will have to be implemented.
Two minutes in duration, and well worth watching/hearing.
Yes, send Westminster and its denizens “a very big message”…
More evidence that the Bar of England and Wales, sadly, is now a dustbin (as I have repeatedly said on the blog)

If that is representative of the proportional losses of the Ukrainian and Russian forces, then the Kiev-regime is losing perhaps 20 soldiers for every Russian soldier killed.
Did he steal too much even for Zelensky’s cabal to accept?
Another USD $20M loss for the US taxpayers.
God, what a horrible treacherous idiot. Not French anyway (Spanish-Sicilian, and born in Tangier, Morocco; only lived in France from age 10 or 11): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Luc_M%C3%A9lenchon#Early_life,_education,_and_early_politics_(1951%E2%80%931976).
[“Trump: US will leave talks if sabotage occurs, military aid to Ukraine suspended “If we see anyone trying to sabotage the negotiating process, the United States will withdraw from the negotiations,” Trump stressed. He also announced that the United States would no longer provide military support to Ukraine.”]
Looks as though the matter is moving towards the endgame, at least as far as American aid to the Kiev regime is concerned.
Hard to say how many tanks Russia now has. Somewhere between 2,000 and 10,000. The Kiev regime has somewhere between 500 and 1,500.
It is not impossible to imagine a direct assault on Kiev either this year or in 2026.
