Interesting. While Restore Britain is more to my taste, ideologically, than Reform UK, it is still not social-national and, at present, not able to smash the old LibLabCon scam, Reform is the only party with sufficient public profile.
All part of the gradual slide to dystopia in this country
Interesting hand gesture…
As blogged yesterday, the latest opinion polling puts Reform, Labour, and the Greens within about one percentage point of each other in the Gorton and Denton by-election contest. It’s wide open, with less than 24 hours before the real polls open.
[“After much work on the part of several committed individuals, we were able to find a VERY hard-to-find manuscript of Entdecktes Judenthum, or Judaism Unmasked by Johann Andreas Eisenmenger (1711). It wasn’t easy. Entdecktes Judenthum has been called arguably the most censored book in the Western World (it probably is). Written after Eisenmenger spent approximately nineteen years in the research and composition, beginning around 1680. He studied Hebrew and Aramaic to scholarly proficiency. He worked through the Babylonian and Jerusalem Talmud, the Midrash (including Midrash Rabbah and related collections), the Zohar and kabbalistic literature, Maimonides, and a wide range of medieval rabbinical commentaries and responsa literature. He pretended to be a Jewish convert to learn directly from the Rabbis themselves, the only way, considering the Talmud forbids teaching it to the goyim. Before it could be disseminated, the Jewish banking community in Frankfurt bribed the magistrate to confiscate it and destroy the manuscripts, and it’s been censored ever since. Broken links. Scrubbed archives. Digital libraries that had quietly made it disappear. AI assistants that refused to search archives or refused to help find it. Decoys that gave us wild goose chases that led to pro-Talmud books after translating. Dirty tricks! But they found it, printed in archaic typeface angular blackletter script, used modern OCR software for optical character recognition, and normalized the orthography into contemporary German so that it could be processed accurately by translation tools. Basically, it was archeology converted to English. We hope no one ever has to do it again. But that’s the point. ENTDECKTES JUDENTHUM will be available in English for the first time in a widely accessible edition. FOR FREE. Unrestricted and reproducible without permission. We ask nothing. We claim no copyright. We want this to spread. It will be available via PDF for FREE this weekend to everyone and available in ebook formats with additional tools and resources for I2I premium subscribers this weekend also. It will be made available in hardback paper as soon as the printers are done with it AT COST. We are publishing this because the Church of Jesus Christ is entitled to read what has been hidden from us, and because we believe light is the only appropriate response to darkness. God will do with it what He will. Find it at Insight to Incite. Share around. No copyright. Get it out. Link in bio. HT @DEI4WhiteGuys and @UpdatedWorks and I2I subscribers.”]
I do not agree with that conclusion. I still think that Reform (Matt Goodwin) could do this. All three main contenders (the others are jokes and wasted votes) are within one point of each other, around 28% (so not far off the 30% each I predicted weeks ago on the blog).
What surprises me, even in a constituency full of uncultured, uneducated Pakistani Muslims and former tribal-Labour English, is that over a quarter of voters are, even now, going to vote Labour! What do they have between their ears? Not brains, I think.
That has occurred to me, as have several other theories. One of those would be that Farage wants Reform to be a kind of populist “Conservative” party with a few add-ons, whereas Matt Goodwin is halfway to social-nationalism (having started his ideological journey, years ago, as a kind of “anti-fascist” academic stooge-type. I think he even tweeted against me once or twice). Certainly Farage has not been very supportive of Goodwin during the by-election campaign.
It occurred to me that Mandelson might (but probably would not) flee to Israel, as a Jew with “right of return”, and I put that on the blog about a week ago, but the BVI (British Virgin Islands)?! Absurd. The BVI is a British Overseas Territory, so not a safe place of sanctuary.

[“Israel is increasingly concerned with the emigration problem. 230,800 Israelis left from 2023-25 and the number of Israelis canceling their residency quadrupled. What makes the problem more severe for Israel is the profile of those leaving:
1) Nearly 48% of those leaving are aged 20 to 45, and 27% are children or teenagers, indicating that entire families are relocating.
2) Over 8,000 high-tech workers left between October 2023 and mid-2024 alone. High-wage earners now make up one-third of all emigrants, up from a quarter in previous years.
3) There has been a “concerning increase” in the departure of doctors (over 400 in 2023 alone) and specialists in STEM fields. In a 20-month period, over 600 PhD holders and 3,000 engineers moved abroad.
4) 75% of those leaving are under 40, representing the core of Israel’s future workforce and tax base.
The ramifications are significant:
1) Emigrants in 2023–2024 had paid over 1.5 billion shekels (~$490 million) in income tax the year prior to leaving. Since the tech sector provides roughly one-third of all state income tax, its contraction threatens the funding of public services.
2) High-tech contributes 17% of Israel’s GDP and 57% of its exports. The The Israel Innovation Authority warns that a sustained loss of these “innovation drivers” could lead to a permanent slowdown in growth and investment.
3) The exit of doctors exacerbates an already critical shortage of medical personnel, potentially leading to longer wait times and reduced quality of care.
4) As secular, liberal-leaning Israelis leave, the remaining population tilts more toward religious and nationalist sectors. This shift could further deepen internal polarization and fundamentally alter the “social contract” that binds Israeli society.
5) For the first time in 15 years, Israel has seen a negative migration balance, challenging the Zionist vision of the country as a primary safe haven for Jews worldwide.
Israel continues to move towards a future as a theocratic, authoritarian state. It will also be a poorer one with less innovation.“]
Israel is doomed.
Ah, so Farage did visit the Gorton and Denton constituency, maybe more than once. Other tweets show that he is there right now.
The polls open at 0700 hrs tomorrow morning. A few votes may decide the issue.
Whether Matt Goodwin wins it for Reform, or the Greens win it, or even if Labour retains the seat by a whisker, any of those outcomes will show that Labour is on the way out. Labour scored 50.8% there in 2024, so any result less than 1. a Labour win but also 2. with at least 40% of the votes cast, is bad for Labour and for Starmer. Gorton and Denton has always been a “tribal” Labour area.
Thus speaks the typical “Westminster Bubbler”, or political gossip insider. Politics as a matter of organization, “comms”, a get-the-vote-out local machine etc.
Dan Hodges may be right, and all of the above matter.
For me, the actual result is not the main thing. For one thing, a third of the voters are Muslims, mostly Pakistanis. As far as I am concerned, their participation renders the vote non-legitimate anyway, if it results in a win for Labour or the Greens.
Secondly, what matters is that, even were Labour to win with, say, 35% of the vote, that means that in most of the country, in places where Labour is not part of a secular trinity (Labour-NHS-football), Labour is toast.
