Well, 6/10 this week, trumping the 2/10 scored by political journalist John Rentoul. I did not know the answers to questions 2, 3, 5, and 8.
The Jewish-Zionist plot to bring down Corbyn
Starmer is just a piece of cardboard which is moved from place to place but there was intentionality from the donors behind him: destroy the popular left and make Labour into a new, "responsible" Tory party. 2024 Labour voters were conned just as members were conned in 2020.
The website Declassified UK has published a review of a book on the anti-Corbyn campaign, headlined “Morgan McSweeney’s ‘plot without precedent in Labour history’— A new book chronicles how Labour strategist Morgan McSweeney used ‘any means necessary’ to destroy Corbyn as leader and install Starmer.”
As one would expect, the book and the review both term the anti-Corbyn plotters “the Right“, rather than “Jews” or “Jew-Zionists”; and they use the now so-outdated “Right/Left” descriptors.
In fact, the plot to topple Corbyn was plainly one planned and funded by pro-Israeli, and probably actual Israeli, sources at root, though carried out by Zionists or pro-Zionists not all of which were Jews (though many were).
I followed Corbyn’s progress on the blog almost from when the blog started in late 2016; certainly from 2017. It was clear to me that there was a basically Jewish —and almost certainly also Israeli— conspiracy to topple him.
Not that I much favoured Corbyn, a relatively uneducated man with simplistic socialist policy viewpoints. Also, while being anti-Israeli, Corbyn always gave lip-service to some of the Zionist propaganda regulars, such as the WW2 “holocaust” narrative. He was not ruthless enough to crush his enemies.
Still, Corbyn was at least a recognizable and relatively decent English type. Starmer (“Starmer-stein”) has no decency and is just a careerist drone, out for what he can get, as witness his grabbing whatever freebies, expenses-paid items, holiday trips etc he and his Jewish wife can grab. Also, of course, his directionless travel on policy.
The fake-Labour “welfare” cuts, the cheating of the pensioners, unemployed, sick, disabled etc. The U-turn on the “trans” nonsense, too. On the one hand on his knees (literally, with Angela Rayner) before the black mobs of “Black Lives Matter”, but then playing the poundshop Stalin when English people got angry at the migration-invasion.
The website post is worth reading, but cannot be linked to, it seems.
Donald Trump has said that most points of the possible agreement on settlement of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine have been agreed to, adding that the two sides should now have a meeting "at very high levels":https://t.co/RbZoQy2YUbpic.twitter.com/Iv3OuABh9L
I wonder. I am minded to think that, even if a temporary peace is agreed soon, it will not last. Russia must take and retain all of the territory east of the Dnieper.
There are reasons to believe that Ukrainian intelligence agencies could be involved in the killing of Lieutenant General Moskalik, deputy chief of the Main Operations Department of the Russian Armed Forces’ General Staff, Maria Zakharova said:https://t.co/II7ekmQzGvpic.twitter.com/S7R5GwN7lu

Balashikha is, inter alia, a kind of colony for high-ranking Russian military people, situated east of Moscow, and a kind of outer suburb.
The Kiev regime seems to be able to hit individuals in Russia quite efficiently. It is an open question whether the Kiev-regime secret services have, or have had, the help of the CIA and/or MOSSAD to do that. Not the CIA any more, I should have thought.
Of course, such assassinations, while high-profile, do not change the fact that, on the ground in Ukraine, Russian forces continue to advance steadily on all relevant sectors of the front.

Outrageous. The British state is now taking away even more homes for hardworking, tax-paying Britons and instead giving them to illegal immigrants who break our laws. These people should be deported -not put in private housing at the taxpayers’ expense https://t.co/aUiyZsVaub
As I predicted long ago on the blog. I said that Starmer-stein would try to “solve” the “small boats” migration-invasion by “processing” claims (rubberstamping them) swiftly, possibly overseas, thus magically turning illegal immigrants into legal ones, then emptying the asylum hotels by gifting the invaders council housing or State-paid private rental housing that should be going to British people.
This is happening all over Britain —“HMOs” (Houses for multiple occupancy) being pushed into communities across Britain despite nobody wanting them
I hope that the voters of Runcorn and Helsby send a firm message —by voting Reform— to Starmer-stein at the by-election next Thursday.
It is if we are ignoring the Tories have been doing the same for a year(s). SERCO contracts are not new to the PRS. Neither are false promises to stop the boats.
"Bureaucrats are rewiring the NHS around an extreme ideology that judges people on the colour of their skin and discriminates against whites."https://t.co/4CCyzi5Lqv
On those figures, Reform would have well over 250 MPs, Labour fewer than 190, and the Cons only 75. The Cons might then be the third-largest party in the Commons, but possibly only the fourth-largest. Terminal.

“An animal-loving Dutch vigilante who attacked a man she saw beating a donkey in Egypt is now facing a lawsuit.
Astonishing footage shows expat Joke Van der Post punching the animal’s handler before chasing him with a whip as he tries to flee.
In the heartbreaking video – which has since gone viral – the donkey kicks out in agony as it is repeatedly lashed while tethered to a wall on the outskirts of Cairo.
Appalled by the horrific cruelty, the 47-year-old runs at the man before pinning him against a wall and striking him several times shouting, ‘You think you’re f****** normal.’
As the man tries to run away Ms Van der Post, who manages a veterinary practice called the Good Karma Sanctuary, grabs a whip from another donkey handler and chases him off into the distance.
The man filed a police complaint accusing Ms Van der Post of assault and claiming appearing in the viral video has caused him ‘psychological harm’, local media reports.”
[Daily Mail]
Treatment of animals in Egypt is often very bad, and most of the people there are cowardly wastes of space.
It is interesting to note that not only do Europeans run all or almost all of the animal welfare hospitals etc in Egypt, but also most of the efforts devoted to helping the Egyptian children etc born with various handicaps. The locals (I was told when I was there for a few months in the 1990s) regard such accidents or incidents of birth as a curse from God, and so need not be addressed at all. Backward Islamic or quasi-Islamic beliefs.
It is also interesting to note that modern Egypt was run best under the European influence of c.1860-1952 and in particular the years between the First and Second World Wars. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Egypt.
In Alexandria, that time is known as the International Period. Far more civilized than Alexandria as it now is.
The Egyptian in that Daily Mail report is typical. Willing to hurt a defenceless donkey, but running away when a European woman confronted him. Pity he was not himself whipped.
I could tell of a number of instances when I saw that Egyptian coward/bully mentality. There are exceptions, and some of the Egyptians are better than that, but I think a small minority.
Look at the pathetic Egyptian Army. As the old joke has it, the only time (in the past few thousand years) when the Egyptians won a military victory was in the second act of Aida.
Really, it has to be admitted that Africa generally, and including North Africa , should be under civilized European rule.

If Sarah Vine (Daily Mail scribbler, and ex-wife of Israel/Jewish lobby puppet Michael Gove) is not Jew or part-Jew, I’ll eat my hat. Still, she apparently owns at least one book by David Irving, so the question remains at least somewhat open.
As for Seldon, as a well-known writer, historian etc, he should know that the USA lost its moral authority long ago, certainly by the time it became a “tail wags dog” state controlled by Israeli and other Jewish and Zionist interests under the two Bush presidents and Clinton, Obama, and Biden. You only have to think of the torture and perversity inflicted at Abu Ghraib, Bagram, Kabul, Guantanamo, and elsewhere.
From now on I don’t want to see any media outlet refer to a man in a dress who rapes, abuses or murders someone as a woman! These are NOT our crimes.
Never forget that Keir Starmer, Labour and much of the elite class in our universities, schools, NHS, museums, publishing, and more were on the wrong side of history, on the wrong side of science. Historians will look back at the 2010s as a moment when elites lost their minds

The Russian ruble has strengthened against the dollar by 38% in over-the-counter trading since the beginning of the year, becoming the world's most profitable currency due to the US dollar weakening amid new American duties, Bloomberg reported:https://t.co/tNH72Lxisnpic.twitter.com/lcv9Dc0U59
Well, that poll (with notional LibDem vote around 12%, and Greens on 10%) would result in a Commons with 198 Lab MPs, 187 Reform, and 156 Con (51 Libdems, 27 SNP, 4 Greens). The only possible government on those numbers would be a Reform/Con arrangement of some sort, having a majority of 17, and a working majority slightly bigger. https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html.
The polls are variable at present, but all tell the same story— Reform UK either the most popular party or a close second. Bearing in mind that Reform voters are said to be more motivated to actually vote than Lab or Con voters (and that fewer Lab voters vote by post, Con and Reform voters tending —so far— to be older and, by reason of that, less healthy), the real picture could well be even better for Reform.
I see the reality as being that at least a plurality of voters are absolutely sick of what Britain is becoming, and are therefore clutching at the Reform straw even though, in many cases, underwhelmed by both Reform and Farage. The voters who support Reform want to hit out at, and perhaps bury, both Lab and Con.
This should make the Runcorn and Helsby by-election even more interesting. The betting market (which I have found an unreliable guide to by-election results) has Reform as strongly odds-on favourite to win (about 1/3, with Labour around 5/2, and Conservatives around 8/1; there are 15 candidates in all). https://www.betfair.com/exchange/plus/politics/market/1.241434500.
I think and have blogged that Reform will smash it, but I concede that there are a number of factors in play. The constituency has Runcorn town as main voter pool, but even that is over 90% white, so the George Galloway vehicle, Workers’ Party, will probably come in 4th or 5th.
Turnout may or may not be low; if it is, Reform will benefit, probably. I wonder how many former Labour voters will turn out to vote for a nominally “Labour” government that has cheated pensioners, is intent on cheating and bullying the sick, disabled and unemployed, and which is at the same time throwing money at “Ukraine” (the brutal Zionist dictatorship in Kiev) and foreign aid recipients. All that, and while also presiding over ever-worse migration invasion, and the consequent street crime now seen everywhere.
The “experts” are still saying that the by-election will be close between Reform and Labour, but Labour seems less credible with every passing day. No less than 700 migrant-invaders landed on the beaches of England yesterday alone!
The Conservative Party under the Nigerian woman is a busted flush. In any case, in 2024 the Cons only scored 16% in the Runcorn and Helsby constituency.
Any 2024 Conservative Party voters who want to stick it to Labour have no choice but to vote Reform, tactically.
This by-election will be a pure test of the popularity of both Starmer-stein’s fake “Labour” government and of Reform UK. Its importance is huge.
Let’s go Runcorn and Helsby! It’s a two horse race —Labour or Reform—and only one of them believe in Britain. You know what to do.
[“It is worth remembering at this time that the Tories who are now attacking two-tier Britain and gender gobbledygook are the same party that: -implemented and mainstreamed the Equality Act -commissioned the David Lammy review which set the stage for the Sentencing Council guidelines -commissioned other major reviews that mainstreamed the idea of ‘positive action’ in the workplace that’s now driving anti-white racism -failed to roll back the public sector equality duty and if anything turbo-charged it -promised to “streamline and de-medicalise” the process of getting gender recognition certificates -allowed MPs and ministers from Maria Miller to Gillian Keegan to mainstream gender identity What we need in this country is not more of the same but root and branch REFORM of the entire Blairite legacy —everything from the Equality Act to the Human Rights Act to the European Convention on Human Rights A total reset.”]

Incidentally, Matt Goodwin, who seems to support the Jew-Zionist lobby, has never said a word in support of my free speech rights. Neither has Goodwin said anything to support persecuted satirical singer Alison Chabloz, imprisoned for posting songs and cartoons online; Goodwin never said a word on her behalf. Same goes for Jez Turner, imprisoned for making a brief speech in Whitehall (calling for the deportation of Jews from the UK).
It is suspicious that the Sun comic gives Goodwin (and Farage) a mass platform; TV shows do, as well. Would I ever be given such platforms? No.
As you can see, not one mention by Goodwin on his blog of the Jew-Zionist lobby that is the main driver of censorship and repression of free speech in the UK; notably the malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”, whose so-called (self-titled) “Director of Investigations and Enforcement” was once exposed in open court, and by the CAA’s own bungling solicitor, as a vicious and perverse social media troll, targeting mainly women, and doing so pseudonymously.
That unpleasant nuisance still holds that (I presume, paid) role, and appears on joke TV stations such as GB News, Talk TV etc, as well as, occasionally, on Sky News. He even turned up to gloat at my free speech trial (which his own persistent backstairs manipulation of the stupid/ignorant police and CPS Wessex had procured), as well as at the later sentencing hearing. He quickly scuttled off, however, after my sentence (which he later described online as “absurdly lenient“) was pronounced. See my blog posts of 16 March 2024 and 17 March 2024 for more detail.
Sam Melia of Patriotic Alternative was imprisoned for distributing stickers, the content of which even the prosecution at his trial conceded was lawful.
Support for Melia, Turner, Alison Chabloz —or me— from Goodwin, Toby Young, Katie Hopkins etc? Nil.
The long-term Jew-Zionist attempts to criminalize “holocaust” “denial” (examination of the ever-less-credible stories around the repression of Jews in the mainland Europe of the early 1940s) have become a general strategy to criminalize any and all criticism of Jewish behaviour, or Israeli war crimes etc.
Likewise, we have seen how the plodding UK police, while failing at their proper job most of the time, enthusiastically tried to reinvent themselves as a poundshop KGB or Stasi during the “Covid” panicdemic/scamdemic of 2020-2022. Those dissidents pointing out the absurdity of shutting down the economy and society because of a virus that was actually killing hardly anybody were hounded and, in some cases, even arrested. They were labelled “Covidiots” and/or “Covid deniers“
Some fanatics even wanted those sceptical of “climate change” orthodoxy to be criminalized. They too are called “climate change deniers“…
Starmer-stein’s fake Labour-label regime seems to be going even further.

Marie van der Zyl, Vice President of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, said, “The comments by Matthew Gordon Banks on Twitter are of very deep concern. He talks about Jews and money and hints at the age-old canard of the ‘Jewish conspiracy’. He must urgently clarify and apologise for his comments, otherwise, we would expect the Liberal Democrat Party to invoke disciplinary procedures.[1][8]“

[“I am 43 years old. I cannot recall a time in my life when I have been as depressed about the state of Britain and England —a country I love—as I am today.
Here are 5 things that happened in the last week alone that point to the terrible future that awaits our once great country unless we urgently and radically change course.
1. In the political system, a group of MPs, many of whom preside over disadvantaged neighbourhoods here in Britain, decided to lobby instead for an airport in … Pakistan … to please their Muslim constituents, thereby continuing to usher in a dark and dangerous sectarianism into our politics that was further reflected this week in the election of “independent” local candidates campaigning not on issues central to Britain but … Palestine. We are heading, slowly but surely, toward a model of sectarian politics that looks more like Lebanon than Britain.
2. In the legal system, a remote, unelected, unaccountable and self-righteous ‘Sentencing Council’ refused a request from elected government ministers to change guidelines that will entrench a two-tier legal system, whereby people from racial, sexual and gender minorities will be treated more favourably than others when handing out prison sentences, thereby violating the principle that everybody in this country should be treated equally before the law
3. In the judicial system, police decided to arrest two parents whose only ‘offence’ was to complain about their local school in a WhatsApp group, with the Orwellian school and police authorities both prioritising the ‘emotional safety’ of a few fragile teachers over the need to uphold free speech and individual liberty in this country.
4. In the immigration system, meanwhile, we learned that 6,000 illegal migrants have now arrived on our shores on small boats in the first three months of this year, 40% up on last year, with crossings happening every day this past week, taking the total since 2018 to 157,000 illegal migrants who are costing struggling British taxpayers upwards of £7 BILLION a year. This isn’t only breaking our laws but is throwing full light on the total incompetence and inability of our politicians and the UK state to control our own borders, keep our own people safe, and maintain our status as a sovereign nation.
5. And in the economy, lastly, this week we learned that our hapless rulers in Westminster are now more interested in helping foreign nationals and illegal migrants than their own people, with a Spring Statement from the Chancellor confirming they are more focused on slashing welfare and support for British pensioners, workers, and farmers, who come from these islands and whose ancestors have contributed to these islands for centuries, than they are on slashing the BILLIONS these same British taxpayers are now being forced to spend subsidising foreigners, illegal migrants, foreign criminals, our broken asylum system, and foreign aid which is still being used to support the likes of eco-farms in Nepal, obese children in China, and LGBT campaigns overseas.
Sorry, but enough is enough. The people in power, the people who are presiding over these disastrous decisions, really need to start thinking about where all this is going, where all this is pushing us as a people and a nation.
Because it’s increasingly clear, to me at least, that the eventual destination will be a very dangerous, dark and divided place indeed. There is a total lack of strong leadership in this country. We need to change course, now. We need to start putting the British people first, now. And we need to start radically reforming the entire political, legal, judicial and economic system, now. Because unless we do then we are all heading into very serious trouble.“]

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.

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.

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“…

“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“
[Robert Peston]
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.

Well, slightly to my surprise, I defeated political journalist John Rentoul once again this week. Rentoul scored 4/10, but I trumped that, scoring 6/10 (admittedly, was unsure about question 8). I did not know the answers to questions 1, 2, 4, and 5.
Journalistic accuracy
Never accept, without checking, whatever a journalistic scribbler may say. I was just reading a not-uninteresting piece in The Oldie magazine, and about the Metropolitan Police in the 1970s, which article was written in 2023 by Duncan Campbell, a well-known journalist and author who was, arguably, better-known in the 1980s than he now is.
Reading Campbell’s nicely-written piece, I notice that he says (in 2023) of the famous or infamous ex-cat burglar, Peter Scott, that “Scott now lives in a council flat in King’s Cross, the proceeds from the odd Vermeer and Sophia Loren’s diamonds long gone.“
As a matter of fact, I reviewed Scott’s memoirs on Amazon UK many years ago now.
My Amazon book reviews are now unavailable— the usual pack of Jews had me “cancelled” about 15 years ago, around 2010, from reviewing books both on Amazon UK (where I was one of the top book reviewers) and Amazon USA. A Jew formerly resident in the UK but now living in Ra’anana (a suburb-town in the Tel Aviv area of Israel/Occupied Palestine) was the main instigator.
Scott lived, in his heyday, in the less-prestigious outer part of Maida Vale, whereas I lived at one time in Little Venice (also part of Maida Vale):
My (intermittent, from 1976 to 1996) times in Little Venice overlapped with Scott’s time in the area (he used the tiny “gangster pub”, the Windsor Castle, in Lanark Place, a pub at one time supposedly owned by Barbara Windsor, who was tied up with all sorts of gangsters and other criminals).
[The old Windsor Castle pub, in Lanark Place W.9., not to be confused with another and much larger pub with the same name in the outer regions of Maida Vale by Harrow Road; I believe both are now permanently closed, the Little Venice one (above) now trading as a Korean food outlet. Sign of the times…]
I occasionally had a drink there. One morning, waiting for the no.6 bus to take me to the High Court (I was appearing as Counsel), I observed the aftermath of a police raid there; about 3 or 4 police cars blocking Lanark Place. God knows why.
A flying boat capable of going nearly 6,000 miles without refuelling, at a cruising speed of 360 mph; maximum speed 380 mph.
The 105 passengers were carried in First and Tourist cabins.
As with the 1930s German airships, the Empire flying boats made in the UK were in some respects superior to the flying machines of today. As Francis Bacon observed, just because a thing is superseded by another thing does not mean that the latter is superior.
[“The Russian military struck Ukrainian infrastructure over the past day, the Defense Ministry reported: https://vk.cc/cIPYtl“— TASS]
“Labour must stop looking down on voters and start taking fears over immigration seriously”, says the Labour Prime Minister who has no plan for stopping the boats and is further liberalising the entire immigration system …
“Boris Johnson is no threat. He is the architect of all the decline & chaos you see around you today, all the mass uncontrolled immigration. If an architect destroyed your home you would never invite him back.”
[Matt Goodwin]
The only “threat” is that a huge number of dummies have still, after everything, not yet awoken to the utter uselessness of “Boris” Johnson.
I think that I can claim to have been one of the first not personally acquainted with Johnson to have realized that he was not only unfit morally to be MP, minister, and then Prime Minister, but actually intellectually incapable of doing any of those jobs.
I expressed my views first on Amazon book reviews from about 2002 (but was “cancelled” by Jewish lobby pressure sometime around 2010 or 2011); then on Twitter from 2010 until Jews again brought pressure on Twitter to “cancel” me (in 2018). Also, on the blog from 2017 to present.
Having said that, there are still a huge number of idiots, mainly Conservative Party members and voters, still willing to support “Boris”, so it is not inconceivable that he could return to Parliament, get Carpetbagger Kemi binned, then take over the “Conservative” Party again. I doubt, though, that that would propel the Cons to victory over Lab; it might save some existing Con Party seats, however.
If the Cons were set to lose about 80 seats, the loss might be reduced by half. Most of Reform’s likely victories henceforth, though, will be in seats presently held by Labour, not by the Con Party.
In the early 1940s, Jewish scientists created the atom bomb, with the idea of using it in Europe, especially on German cities. There was a possibility, theoretically, that the first test detonation would set Earth’s atmosphere on fire. They took the risk because to them, as Jews, killing the world’s only National Socialist state took priority over the survival of all life on Earth. See the kind of thinking they had? Zelensky is no different.
To me, provisionally, this Chernobyl attack looks very much like a “false flag”, trying to stop Trump and/or the EU leaders talking to Putin.
The fact is that Zelensky is not really a player . Without American or EU arms, ammunition, money, and other aid, “Ukraine” (the Kiev regime) cannot continue to prosecute this drawn-out and agonizing war. Cut off the supply, and Zelensky’s regime implodes within days, certainly within weeks. He is a man of straw.
Something revealing happened on Question Time last night …
We had a debate about the small boats. As I say in the clip below, Labour Ministers like Jacqui Smith who claim Labour is fixing the crisis are lying to you.
Does anyone really watch BBC Question Time these days? I would guess a small tranche of the population, 55+ or 65+ in years, mostly. People who fail to see that it is just a rigged system propaganda show.
Looking at tweets, seems that one panellist was ignorant Labour-label expenses cheat Jacqui Smith [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacqui_Smith], who is basically a fraudster (she even claimed on her expenses for her husband’s TV porn-watching!) A total fraud. Member of Labour Friends of Israel, of course. Also, entirely without any intelligent or cultural mentality of any use. Chucked out of Parliament by the voters, only to be given a fake title of “Baroness” and put into the discredited “House of Lords”.
Oh, and the Jew scribbler George Monbiot was yet another System-approved guest last night, it seems, droning on about “appeasement” and saying that “Ukraine” (the Jewish/Zionist regime in Kiev) should be given “whatever it wants“.
Fiona Bruce, presenter, had asked about how Ukraine might “defeat Russia“. Of course Monbiot could not answer, and just waffled, because “Ukraine” cannot “defeat Russia“, a proper state (unlike “Ukraine), and with a population several times that of Ukraine, with a proper army, its own supplies of arms, ammunition, money, food, oil and gas etc, and a territory many times that of Ukraine (even on the pre-2014 borders).

…and who could blame them? A fake “state” headed by a drug-fuelled Jew-Zionist former comedian who is, at best, a loose cannon.
Is it only now that Zelensky realized that “Ukraine” was never going to join NATO? Yet stupid Starmer still pretends that the contrary is the case…
I think that that says more about Starmer’s lack of geopolitical grasp than anything. There again, Starmer is just an Israel-lobby puppet anyway.
Entry of a candidate-state into NATO (under its own rules) has to be approved by all NATO member-states. Several are now against even pretending that “Ukraine” can join or will join. The USA is the most important but others too. Hungary, Germany (though the Germans may pretend otherwise); I think a few others as well.
The pretence seems to be “not this year”, and not next year; maybe in or around 2030. Maybe. Maybe not. I think never. The fake “Ukraine” state may not even exist by 2030, or even 2026.
How long can NATO even exist? 2028? Were the USA to pull out of NATO, about two-thirds of its overall funding (funding including the funding of national forces and their arms and armament etc) would disappear.
Likewise, were the USA to take over Greenland (thus provoking Denmark, a full NATO member), the alliance would probably fall to pieces one way or the other.
It even occurs to me that Trump’s recent statements about taking over both Greenland (territory of Denmark) and Canada (a full NATO member) were actually designed to weaken NATO. I have no doubt that Putin and his circle welcomed (secretly) Trump’s outbursts. Is that too “conspiracy theory”? Maybe. Unsure.

Well, this week 7/10, thus just beating political journalist John Rentoul, who scored 6/10. I did not know the answers to questions 6, 7, and 10. I admit that my (correct) answers to q.’s 4 and 9 were educated guesses.
Blog readers
I am always interested to see from where hits on the blog come. In the past week, from 16 different countries (inc. UK). Of course, with advances in technology, you cannot say for sure where readers are located; some may be, say, in Australia but appear to be in the USA, but I daresay most locations are accurate.
I was just looking at the apparent location of readers since I started the blog towards the end of 2016, so 8 years ago. Readers from 155 countries and territories in the world, so from about three-quarters of the world. There are 195 states in the world, plus some extra territories that do not have that status (such as Antarctica— and, yes I have had the odd hit from there, presumably from some scientist at a polar research base).
I have occasionally mused on who it might be in (inter alia) Lesotho, Antarctica, Greenland, Burkina Faso, the Aaland Islands (maybe I can guess who that particular one is), American Samoa, Chad, Tadjikistan, or Congo-Kinshasa, that is reading my thoughts and ideas.
The largest number of hits has always been from the UK, though (about 70%, with a further 10% from the USA).
The readership of the blog, on a daily basis, is still modest, never reaching over a thousand on any one day, and often not reaching even a hundred (I do not publicize the blog anywhere, and am not on Twitter/X or Facebook etc), but I have always taken the view that “one human soul is a big audience“.
Risible how System political scribblers, ivory-tower academics etc really still think that elections in the 2020s are still won by ridiculous local political footsoldiers knocking on doors, disturbing and and irritating householders, or by the voters reading the absolute shite put out on leaflets etc. This is 2024, not 1924…
John Rentoul seems unsure. He neither endorses nor dissents. He probably imagines that people actually read those (mostly) LibLabCon leaflets at election-time. Wrong; most, maybe 99%, go in the bin unread.
As for “average age 61, opposed to net zero“, what about “almost all (real) British” (as well)?

Blast(s) from the past
I just re-read the blog post about the infamous New Zealand massacre, which happened nearly 6 years ago, in 2019. Apparently, that blog post has had a rather small, disappointingly-small, number of hits; frankly, I think it is still worth reading. Anyway, here it is:
See also Ruth Smeeth, also a Hope not Hate figure, now (risibly) elevated to the totally-degraded House of Lords as “Baroness” Anderson of Stoke-on-Trent: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruth_Smeeth. A half-Jewish Zionist agent.
The thing that people REALLY, REALLY don't want to admit about the mass rape gangs which operated in the UK for decades is that their crimes were racially and religiously motivated and justified by the perpetrators.
“Children will be taught how to spot extremist content and misinformation online under planned changes to the school curriculum, the education secretary said.
Bridget Phillipson said she was launching a review of the curriculum in primary and secondary schools to embed critical thinking across multiple subjects and arm children against “putrid conspiracy theories”.
[Guardian]
So “conspiracy theories” such as the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan will no doubt be examined (with an inbuilt and hostile a priori bias, though…). The brainwashing will probably fail if the children subjected to it open their eyes to what is happening all around them…
“Tory grandees have accused senior figures in their own party of using divisive language that inflamed anger over immigration before the recent rioting, amid warnings that too many Conservatives have “turned a blind eye” to a shift to the right.“

A slow-motion coup has installed multi-cultural socialism in the West. Britain currently is experiencing its own equivalent of the Prague takeover of 1948. The show-trials of Douglas Murray and Elon Musk (if they can apprehend him) will no doubt soon follow. https://t.co/lcSDMs0PL6

I saw part of Douglas Murray’s interview. Usually I have no time for him, or for any puppets of Israel and the Jewish lobby, but I have to say that I agreed thoroughly with much and indeed most of what I heard.
I can only imagine that Murray said such unambiguous things deliberately in order to throw down the gauntlet to “two-tier Keir”, to provoke his own, Murray’s, arrest, charge, and prosecution, with the idea that a British jury will never convict him. A gamble, but a calculated one.
Of course, a “British jury” may now contain blacks and browns who may not agree with Murray’s views, and let us not pretend that such cases are somehow objective fora searching for truth— they are purely political, just like the joint trial of Nick Griffin and Mark Collett about 20 or so years ago (they were both acquitted, a smack in the mouth the “Clown” Prosecution Service was not expecting).
However, a British jury might well acquit Murray, if he does end up being charged and tried. That would raise his profile immeasurably. Then, in a few years, he might become a Reform UK candidate (as might Matt Goodwin) in circumstances in which the “elected” dictatorship of “two-tier Keir” and his clowns will undoubtedly be extremely unpopular with everyone outside the msm and the Westminster Bubble. In fact, Britain might really be on the brink of revolt by then.
If, on the other hand, Murray is not arrested/charged/prosecuted, then the poundland “tough guy” image “two-tier Keir” has been trying to project over the past 5-7 days crashes and burns. Indeed, if Murray escapes prosecution, many now charged will be able to plead not guilty in the hope that juries will acquit them for reasons as openly political as many of the prosecutions themselves.
Assuming that Murray’s statements were made quite carefully and deliberately, I think that it can be said that he has made a stunning political move.
The legal arguments at any trial would revolve at least partly around the (apparent) fact that the now-famous interview was filmed in the USA, though broadcast or sent to the UK, and aimed mainly at a UK audience.
During the Black Lives Matter rioting and protests, it was considered entirely legitimate to ask what lay behind black anger. But today, it's apparently illegitimate to ask what lies behind white anger. I think many people see the double standard.
I've done a lot of international media this week and I can tell you that when it comes to how the UK is managing free speech much of the world thinks we're going insane. "You're the home of Magna Carta", a journalist just said. "What the hell happened to you?"

“I’m a Lib Dem member of the House of Lords who lives in trendy Islington. I am a citizen of nowhere. All these foreign people benefit from my patronage (lucky them). But none of them is ever invited to my dinner parties. Virtue signal over.” https://t.co/xkxre1PyYM
What we are now seeing might be described as a struggle between Islamists who want to rule Britain (and mainland Europe), and Jew-Zionists who, partly and perhaps to a large extent, and more quietly [own and] rule Britain and much of the Western world generally.
What is wrong with our civilization can be said with one word — unreality. We are in no danger either from the vices or the virtues of vikings; we are in danger of forgetting all facts, good and bad, in a haze of high-minded phraseology.
My own prediction was, and remains, that Starmer will “solve” the “small boats” problem by setting up some kind of fake “processing” lines in France, and/or elsewhere, then rubberstamping perhaps 90% or even 95% of the applications. That ~90% will then enter the UK “legally” (along with the —ten to twenty times the number— existing “legal” entrants), while the others will still cross the Channel without authorization.
The 1.3M+ figure noted by Matt Goodwin is dwarfed by the c.15M who have arrived “legally” over the past 30 years; also, do not forget the question of births to non-European mothers in the UK. Another form of “migration invasion”.
Only a few writers are willing to challenge the established narrative on what is REALLY driving the unrest in Britain. Here are a few of them 👇https://t.co/i2VLFRhsxG
The Batley Grammar schoolteacher is still in hiding. Three years after he supposedly “insulted” Islam. Why is no one in the political class talking about this? Because they are abject moral cowards, says Brendan O’Neillhttps://t.co/z2cOHtM55Q
It is easy to just laugh at nonsense of that sort, but behind all such manifestations is an urge to lead all of society into the abyss. “Anti-sexism”, “anti-racism” etc. Also, generally, the inferior valued above the superior in terms of cultural value. Historical civilizations and cultures, religions, other belief systems. Music too, and visual art.
Some “artists” have made tens of millions, even hundreds of millions from their “art” of that sort. In Britain we have had Damien Hirst (in my opinion, both a con-man and a fake, as well as mentally-unstable: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damien_Hirst) and Tracey Emin (another fake and money-grubber): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracey_Emin.
[“art”]
[“art”]
Incidentally, the above piece of “art” by Tracey Emin was auctioned by Christie’s in 2014 for £2.5M. Do we need any further evidence of the decadence of our society?
The existing System in the UK has lionized “artists” of that sort, not only by selling their “art” for millions, but by awarding them System or Establishment medals or titles: Tracey Emin is now a member of the Royal Academy, and its Professor of Drawing. She was also awarded a CBE and later DBE “for services to art“. You couldn’t make it up.
Having said that, I recall a woman whom I encountered occasionally in the 1980s, and who was awarded an MBE around 2006 or 2007, “for fostering relations with Russia“. From what I heard, mainly carnal ones…
Incidentally, the infamous Tracey Emin Bed “artwork” was bought by (((Charles Saatchi))) for £150,000, then later, eventually, sold, as noted, for £2.5M.
Art covers a wide field, and many forms, but the above examples show a degradation not only of art but also of a whole society.

“This morning Netanyahu decided that he will appoint a Civil Service Commissioner by himself. The whole cabinet supported his decision. This is contrary to Israeli law and against the opinion of the Attorney General. The Israeli government’s ongoing coup d’etat is not a “judicial overhaul” but a destruction of the country’s rule of law. The Attorney General was verbally attacked during the meeting, and Ben Gvir called for her immediate dismissal. Netanyahu’s hostile takeover of the Civil Service Commission will mean that evert future appointment will be subject to the appointee’s groveling submission to him personally and to the extreme right’s agenda.”
Israel will not exist at some point in the near or medium-term future. The external pressures already lead to unsustainable internal stresses.

BBC News, Sky News are now just propaganda pushers. Reminiscent of Soviet TV. For example, I saw a few minutes on either BBC or Sky this evening. Some little technocrat twerp called Hadley, itching to snoop on and censor social media; the woman presenter a nodding dog, unwilling and probably incapable of challenging said twerp’s police state ethos.
Or to put it another way, “addled art”, a symptom of the society that produced it and tolerates it.
“In Addled Art, [Sir Lionel] Lindsay stated that nature was never ugly; only in degeneration and decay could the spirit of ugliness dwell. So how did all this modern ugliness get foisted on an unsuspecting public? Lindsay’s answer was crisp. Three quarters of the European art dealers, critics & collectors were Jews. Jews excelled in the discovery of great values, well ahead of the Aryans. It was due to Jewish influence and Jewish money that nauseating paintings were sneakily slipped into galleries and private collections. “They have become the all-powerful masters of a rich and beautiful domain. They have their press, for making and destroying reputations, and in every country their agents are but hucksters”.
The commentary refers to Addled Art, first pub. Sydney, 1942.
Apply that extract about Addled Art to the Damien Hirst and Tracey Emin (etc) prominence since the 1980s. They were promoted by wealthy Jews such as Saatchi.
I once happened to share a table at a pavement cafe in Museum Street, London, with a fellow who was a Yugoslav (I think Croatian; this was 1989) and who had a nearby studio. He was a pretty fine artist (mostly sculpture, but also painting) judging from the photographs of his work that he showed to me. He told me that he was having to fight constantly against the prejudice against figurative art. The “experts”, critics, dealers did not want it. I suppose that most of those making money out of non-figurative art, in London (as in New York etc) were and are Jews.
Hirst. Emin. Others. Sick society. “Artists” as money-makers and little more…
A favourite piece of music
Nature or nurture?
An old question. In fact, one which has been debated since ancient times: “People learn to be Jewish from their parents.” [Juvenal, The Satires, Satire IX, lines 14.96-106]. I suppose that that is why the Jew establishment is far more strict in trying to ensure that Jewish festivals are celebrated by all Jews than are the Christian churches and rulers (at least since the 16thC) in relation even to the most important Christian festivals, Christmas and Easter (in the West, Christmas takes pole position, but in Russia and the Orthodox world generally, Easter is the more important of the two).
Even people with my general outlook, who might say that “race is the root-stock, culture is the fruit (or flower)”, are at the same time compelled to acknowledge the importance of environment: upbringing, education, the way children and young people are treated.
Those who take the view that race, ethnicity, nationality etc are of no importance are as mistaken as those who believe that only those factors are important causally in terms of producing finished members of society.
News from the UK’s ZOG regime
The allegations against Priti Patel which have led to this unprecedented step: https://t.co/PKCdsR6bt4
I have not been to Paris since the 1990s, except to change planes a few times at CDG and Orly (and a couple of transfers between those airports). Even in the early 1990s, the changes, under the surface, were great as compared with the 1980s or, even more, my first visits, in 1970 and 1971. In 1971, when I stayed for three weeks with a very nice French couple in the 5th arrondisement, Paris was totally different from London. Now not quite so much. The EU, and/or societal change, has led to a degree of convergence (with the caveat that I have not stayed in Paris for about 25 years). At least I have missed the “City of Light” being invaded by Africa and the Middle East to the extent that it has been in the past two decades.
La belle France…
Mike Stuchbery and Tommy Robinson
It will be recalled that Stuchbery claims, risibly, to “work three jobs”. Here he is, today, in Munich, claiming to be on holiday, while playing at his faux “journalist” persona (he scribbles a bit for the pathetic online “newspaper”, Byline Times).
The Far Right Pegida/BIA alliance are out in the streets of Munich, pressing the flesh ahead of Munich city council elections. Tensions are fraught – I just witnessed the Pegida candidate physically assault a counter-protester for squirting an unattended placard. pic.twitter.com/ibGuicRMvK
His UK associate, “Roanna, AntiFashWitch” is still remarkably quiet about what is happening to Stuchbery’s crowdfunded legal action against the activist known as Tommy Robinson. They have raised, in the past 4 months, just over half the £20,000 for which they appealed. Even now, some naive mug donates £5 or £10, about one donation per week.
To date, the only action taken by their retained solicitor seems to have been a simple and undetailed Letter before Action to Robinson (sub nom Stephen Yaxley-Lennon), sent in November 2019.
I have always been sceptical about the “legal action” they propose(d) and about what will happen to the (wholly inadequate) monies that they have raised from about 690 members of the public.
I have been meaning to add Priti Patel to my “Deadhead MPs” series, but have always been sidetracked. At least this latest scandal involving her will provide extra material. “Always look on the bright side of life, doo doo, doo doo doo doo [etc]”.
I have from time to time observed that only the accession to power in Uganda of Idi Amin saved Priti Patel from spending her life behind the counter of a Kampala grocery store. Now we see (again, recalling her previous fiasco as International Development Secretary) that she has proven inadequate for the role of a Cabinet Minister. She simply does not have the horsepower…That, and the fact that her only way to deal with others is to try to intimidate them. I hope that she is binned soon. That will be another doormat for Israel gone up the chimney, at least politically.
