According to Electoral Calculus, the result of that, replicated in a general election, would be Labour— 179 Commons seats; Reform UK— 170 seats; Conservatives— 165 seats; LibDems 72; Greens, 7.
So a hung Parliament. Any of the top three could try to rule as a very weak minority government. Alternatively, Reform could ally itself in some form with the Conservatives, and get over the line that way. Maybe even a “grand coalition” of the System parties (LibLabCon). In that event, Reform would be the official Opposition, with every chance of later, after a further election, becoming the governing party.
Reform UK is morphing into a System party anyway, but the Overton Window is moving. Reform UK is part of the journey, not the ultimate destination.
Incidentally, were Reform to go from 26% to 27% (and all other parties stay where they are), the result would be Reform UK— 202; Labour 165; Conservatives 147; LibDems 72; Greens 7.

Why are we sending £15 billion to other countries around the world while taking winter fuel payments from British pensioners & treating British people in hospital corridors and car parks? Can anybody in power answer me that?
If Reform UK can become largest party in the Commons, they would have no need to “merge” with the Con-servative Party. They could govern as a minority government. If the System parties refuse to play ball, Reform could simply blame those other parties for the inability to govern, then call another general election, with every chance of getting a majority.
If the weakness of governments continues, that might be the opening a social-national movement needs in order to rise up.

“Labour was last night accused of declaring ‘class war on Middle Britain’ over shock plans to slash public services in affluent areas.
The radical plans, included among draft proposals for Labour‘s Election manifesto, would extend equality laws covering race, age, gender, disability and sexuality to include ‘the inequality of social class’.
…given very low growth in public spending, the Harman plans ‘would certainly require real cuts to the services provided in more affluent parts of a council’s area’.
And that, he warned, could lead to a collapse in the middle classes’ faith in the state, raising the prospect of a new class of ‘tax refuseniks’.”

Interesting. I rather like Turkey, and have been there several times, both to the mainland and (once) to Turkish North Cyprus. On my last visit, in 2001, everything was pleasantly inexpensive for someone with hard currency. Even cheaper now, it seems. I drove to Turkey from the UK, and back again. Hazardous at times, but a good trip overall. I was there three months, mostly spent in and around Fethiye (Mediterranean coast).

What strikes me as crazed is that, firstly, students “reported” (denounced) a fellow-student for stating a simple fact, and, secondly, that the university then sided with the denouncers! Like a Komsomol witchhunt in the old Soviet Union…
The part-Jew, part-Levantine chancer currently posing as Prime Minister is planning to repress freedom of expression even further in the UK. He is supported in that by Jewish-lobby puppet Keir Starmer and his declining “Labour” pack of idiots.
Starmer: “Dangerous algorithms on Facebook and Instagram, and Hope Not Hate have shown me an example of violent Islamism and far-right propaganda on TikTok.’
He called on the Prime Minister to ‘commit to bring forward the second reading of the Online Safety Bill by the end of this calendar year’, adding: ‘If he does, we’ll support it.’” [Daily Mail].
The bastard is taking his “facts” from the malicious and misnamed Jew-Zionist snooping organization “Hope not Hate”!
Here we see the complete fakery of so-called “democracy” in the UK: repression of free speech rolled out swiftly, with the so-called “Opposition” mostly voting with the Government (of clowns). “Democracy” in the UK is a complete sham.
“Zionist Occupation Government” is not just a phrase or a “conspiracy theory”. It’s fact. It’s right in front of us.

Glasgow is not the only area badly-administered. I have just had a ghastly and (in the end) 2-hour roundtrip, unavoidable and made awkward and irritating by several simultaneous lots of roadworks (I suppose at least some of the roads are being repaired), both in the country and in a small town.
How is it that (especially in respect of smaller roads), repairs have evidently not been carried out for years? I saw tiny lanes never seen by me before , many with terrible surfacing, road bumps and potholes. Even at (at times) 20 mph, a journey of bumps and jolts.
To make it worse, I turned on BBC Radio 4, which had a programme of such surpassing awfulness that I looked it up when I arrived back at my very humble abode: Laura Barton’s Notes on Music. The only reason I did not snap it off was because I wanted to know when it was midday (I sold my watches long ago, and the clock in my old car no longer works).
Does anyone not trapped in a traffic jam (or similar chaos) actually listen to Radio 4 any more?
There were compensations today, though. At one point, a stag, not large but with impressive antlers, crossed the road not far ahead of me. Fallow deer.
Still, despite that pleasant reminder of the animal kingdom, I had time to wonder why nothing seems to work in England any more, and why everyday life seems to have become unnecessarily complicated.
A sneak has reported the radio presenter James Naughtie to the police for drink-driving. Read the above report.
The facts were that said sneak observed Naughtie downing a glass of Chardonnay, and even went into the pub garden to watch him, before reporting the matter to the police (and taking a picture of Naughtie’s car).
Naughtie was then confronted at his home (or one of them), and blew a mark of 35, which would be borderline in England, where the limit is 35 (and would have been below the legal limit by the time a court-admissible sample was taken at a police station), but is well above the legal limit in Scotland, where that limit is 22.
Now I would not complain about this had Naughtie (or anyone in that situation) been plainly legless, but the man had only had one or two glasses of wine!
Time was when (in both England and Scotland, I think) the sneak was despised rather than admired. That was then. Now there are a whole host of petty sneaks and denouncers all too ready to, as the Australians now apparently say, “dob someone in”.
You see it all the time on Twitter and other social media platforms, the denouncers (often, though not always, Jewish), whose whole life seems to revolve around “reporting” people to (say) Twitter, or to employers, or to professional organizations, or even to the police. Pathetic.
Incidentally, I do not make the above points because I am a drink-driver. I can probably count on one hand the number of times (over about 25 years) when I have driven —probably— over the local limit; at least three of those times would have been in the Caribbean, maybe once or twice in the UK. In fact, I rarely drink (even one glass) and drive now, so I am not pleading in my own interest at all; I just despise the “informer” type.
Final point: I never liked Naughtie’s radio persona or views much, so I have not written the above because I favour Naughtie himself.

Yet the mask zealots rule supreme on Twitter (though not in the real world). Many are are still pushing for renewed facemask nonsense, the plainly not very effective vaccinations, strict social distancing etc etc. It makes me wonder, not for the first time, whether there is not a psychological basis for their zealotry and unwillingness to move on.

Off the Cluff
Memoirs of oil and publishing (etc) tycoon, Algy Cluff. The book looks interesting, but seems to be unavailable on Amazon, despite having an entry on that site. Is that because the Foreword is written by Taki, who is a bete noire of both the “woke” and the Jews? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taki_Theodoracopulos. Maybe, though, it is because there has been too heavy a demand; the book is not on retail sale until next week.
While Tang’s businesses are or were not the sort of places I usually frequent (I do not really like to shop anyway), I have in fact been to what was his flagship Hong Kong store, Shanghai Tang, in 2006.
I was in Hong Kong, getting some suits, jackets, shirts etc made at the famous Sam’s Tailor [https://www.samstailor.com/— I recall talking, about racing, mainly, to the present owner, whose photos are on the website, and who is the son of the one who was the owner in 2006].
Among the many items (all custom-made/bespoke) I bought was a very nice Chinese dark blue silk dressing gown with Chinese symbols on it. I asked if I could have made a similar but rather smaller one in another colour for my wife, as a present. They demurred because they would be unable to measure her (I was in HK alone). They were quite firm about it, even after I pressed them, so I asked where I might get one for her. They said Shanghai Tang. I went there.
Well, I did find a suitable but ready-to-wear dressing gown for my wife, and it was actually far better quality than my (still good) one from Sam’s Tailor. It was also far more expensive— about 15x the cost, in fact. That’s life…
I hope that I shall be able to read Cluff’s book; it sounds like it might be an interesting read. Apparently, Tang once tipped a waiter at a casino USD $90,000! Talk about playing the big shot!

The “Luke Akehurst” there is a long-term Jewish-lobby and Israel-lobby asset in the Labour Party.
As I myself have frequently blogged, Labour now seems to stand for absolutely nothing except “we are not the Conservative Party” (though with 90% similar, where not exactly the same, policies). Tweedledum/tweedledee.
It's been argued that Keir Starmer is a net asset for Labour because the party has become toxic.
But the polling shows he is less popular than the Labour party itself and is therefore a drag. https://t.co/AKwZVtJJoS
Energy delivery is a field where true competition does not exist and cannot exist. Other such industries would include most other utilities (such as water supply and effluent disposal), railways etc.
Again, I have little time for McDonnell, and I thought it funny that, after the 2019 General Election, he looked on TV, interviewed in his own garden, like a bemused pensioner who had been tipped out of his wheelchair. He had thought himself about to become Chancellor and, later, Prime Minister…
What is needed is not old-style socialism, but a revamped National Socialism, at least in part. The “anti-capitalist” tendency in the UK and across Europe could be turned to a pro-social nationalist one, given the right movement, leader, and events.
“Jack Foster, a 33-year-old bank worker from Salford, shows how lived experience has fed this disillusionment with capitalism. After he dropped out of university and worked in a call centre – a “horrible job” – the financial crash shaped his political attitudes, as they did for much of his generation. But housing loomed particularly large. “I was renting, thinking: ‘How will I ever be able to afford a house?’” he says. “My mum was a cleaner, my dad was disabled, and the people I knew who could afford a house got help off their parents. It wasn’t a case of having a job and saving up; you had to inherit money.”” [The Guardian].
There it is. We, as social-national vanguard thinkers and activists, can capture this field.
“…it is clear that young people see no rational incentive to back a system that seems to offer little other than insecurity and crisis.” [The Guardian].
Not that I have much respect or liking for Owen Jones, who took it upon himself, about 6 or 7 years ago, to tweet to pro-Jewish-Lobby MP John Woodcock (now “Lord Walney”), and who had replied to a tweet by me, that Woodcock should block me because “that guy’s a neo-Nazi” (Woodcock did block me on Twitter, at once!).

Ukrainian bureaucracy
Interesting video by an American trying to get a Ukrainian driving licence. Apparently, every driver in Ukraine has to waste 3-4 days every 3 years doing this! Blood tests, psychiatric test, this test, that test…
I myself experienced some of that Soviet-leftover bureaucracy when I lived in Kazakhstan (1996-1997). Turned out that (in those days, probably not now) you had to get a prescription for vitamin C (even though the dose, in dark red liquid form, was a tenth of the strength of vitamin C that you can buy at any UK supermarket). Want to swim at a public pool? Then you needed a doctor to supply an approval letter! Problem with ear wax? Then you had to undergo a battery of tests and formfilling to have the treatment (a giant can of water poured into your ear).
In fact, impatient with bureaucratic bull, I managed to sidestep all of the above. My then girlfriend (who worked at the British Embassy) got me the vitamin C somehow; she also got me into the swimming pool without a medical certificate. As for the ear wax problem (I suddenly went almost deaf, in about a day, a problem never experienced previously or since), the wife of a friend, a Russian colonel, got me sorted out at a hospital without difficulty (or form-filling, or waiting).
Thank God I never wanted a driving licence (I had a driver).
