…because that reflects mass immigration for half a century or more, now completely uncontrolled and, crucially, births to immigrants and to offspring of immigrants.
BREAKING. Net migration last year was 431,000 —down on recent years but still 100,000 higher than when people voted for Brexit
1/ Labour will tell you immigration is falling but this is almost entirely due to pre-Labour measures
2/ The numbers are still WAY too high —100k higher than when Brits voted for Brexit asking for control. The latest net migration figure, 431,000, is nearly twice the number of new homes that were built in England last year, 218,000. It is also much higher than what Brits want —85% of Brits say they want net migration below 100,000, half of them want it at zero or ‘net negative’, with more people leaving than arriving
3/ Much of the immigration into Britain is still low-skill, low-wage, exactly the kind that is a net cost, not benefit, to our economy. Furthermore, 81% of ALL migration into Britain last year came from outside Europe —what does this mean for our shared culture, identity, values, history and way of life? It’s an important question that nobody in Westminster, excluding Reform, is willing to ask
4/ No matter what Keir Starmer and Labour say, today, Britain’s borders remain completely out of control. After yesterday’s record-breaking day, we are still on track for the highest annual number of small boat crossings in 2025, which have brought terrorists and criminals into our country. Labour’s “plan” is not working; the only thing they are smashing is our national security.”]
Net migration last year was 431,000
In the same year, we built 218,000 homes in England
Labour’s “solution” (as under the fake Conservatives), is to build and build. First, that cannot be done anyway on a huge scale. Second, all that means is that our formerly, and still to some extent, beautiful England gradually (?) becomes a giant slum housing tens of millions of untermenschen.

…but they never allow the same argument to be used in relation to the removal of Jews in the 1940s from western and central Europe to eastern Europe…
When Jews claim that their forbears were deported to the east in the early 1940s, they also claim that that removal, and making them work in camps etc on arrival, was “genocide” (even though most Jews in the world were unaffected). Now, “their” argument is different…

Starmer & Liebour have absolutely no intention of stopping the tide of illegal migrants. My question is can the UK patriots of this country police our own shores? Perhaps it’s time to have a citizens defence force to stop the invaders? If we have NGOs like Care4Calais helping…
Exactly. All the UK opinion polls on socio-political subjects are inaccurate for that reason— the views of non-whites/non-Brits are taken into account as if they are the views of “British people”. One reason why the pollsters (and the msm) mostly underestimated the recent election “upsets”.

This goes well beyond “a pound of flesh“, with or without blood.
It is certainly arguable (for a number of reasons) that Hamas should not have attacked areas of southern Israel in 2023. However, Israeli retaliation went from being somewhat proportionate, in the first few days after that incursion, to being both disproportionate and then utterly brutal after that.
Later, Israeli-Jewish brutality became really just a kind of State-organized sadism, which then morphed into, effectively, attempted genocide of the entire Palestinian Arab population in Gaza. Daily bombing and machinegunning (etc) of civilians, deliberate withholding of medical aid, destruction of hospitals, an embargo on food, the deliberate starvation of children and others, and the planned deportation or slaughter of the entire population.
Incredibly, the Israelis (and the Jews outside Israel that support Israel, and suborned puppets such as Starmer and other UK political and msm souls-for-hire) are still whining about what Germans and others are supposed to have done to some Jews in Europe and Russia, mainly in the early 1940s, 80-85 years ago.

“Denis Fahey, C.S.Sp. (3 July 1883 – 21 January 1954) was an Irish Catholic priest. Fahey promoted the Catholic social teaching of Christ the King, and was involved in Irish politics through his organisation Maria Duce. Fahey believed that “the world must conform to Our Divine Lord, not He to it”, defending the theological concept of the Mystical Body of Christ. This often saw Fahey in conflict with systems which he viewed as promoting “naturalism” against Catholic order – particularly communism, freemasonry and rabbinic Judaism.[1] His writings were deeply anti-Semitic, Fahey stating that “we must combat Jewish efforts to permeate the world with naturalism. In that sense, as there is only one divine plan for order in the world, every sane thinker must be an anti-Semite”.[2][3]” [Wikipedia]
“In economic views, Fahey was a critic of the Lockean liberal capitalist system and what he regarded as the “social good” being made subordinate to the needs of the market. He pointed to usury being contrary to Catholic social teaching and spoke out against the newspaper industry and its power to form public opinion, he claimed that finance capitalism had come to dominate politics and economics, which it was meant to be subordinate to. He criticised “the unlimited competition, unscrupulous underselling and feverish advertising of the present day” and opined that capitalism led to extreme inequality, “ruthless, unchecked […] tended towards the concentration of capital in the hands of the relatively few.“[33]
Fahey also blamed capitalism “with its excessive individualism and uncontrolled seeking for profit”, for causing a backlash which naturally attracted many people to embracing communism.” [Wikipedia]
In terms of socio-economics, it seems that Father Fahey was close to the views expressed by such as G.K. Chesterton and his literary creation Father Brown, as well as many in the interwar period of the 1920s and 1930s who were generally in the milieu of the aftermath of the Arts and Crafts movement in the UK.
When the Greeks invented democracy they intended it to be used to govern independent cities. They never planned for it to govern an entire country, because it doesn't work when there are too many voters.
Very worthy, but merely standing there in protest, or as protection for his child, is not enough. ‘Nuff said…
As for “stabbed“, something even worse is more likely.
In a village in Donegal! Just shows how far the ripples of the migration-invasion have reached. In that little Irish village (2,600 inhabitants), 70+ of the bastards are imposed by the System. The invaders will be parasites—at absolute best; at worst (and that is far more likely) they will be criminals, scavengers and predators, who may well also be enemies of European people and our whole culture and way of life.
[“I’ve never seen a Prime Minister gaslight on this scale before. Labour have decriminalised illegal migration. Labour have presided over record numbers of illegal migrants Labour have expanded the use of hotels for illegal migrants, costing you £2 billion a year. Labour are forcing British taxpayers to subsidise big business to outbid the British people in the housing market so they can prioritise people who break our laws. And Labour are literally forcing British workers to pay more tax than Indian workers … in Britain.”]

Gaslighter-in-Chief.“]
This used to be the unsayable. Pro-immigration fanatics like Jon Portes & Rob Ford would never accept this
But now even a Labour government openly accepts mass immigration is bad for the economy, living standards and housing
The Overton Window is shifting, visibly. I hope, though, that the voters of the UK see through the fakery of Starmer-stein and his cronies. Vote (at present) Reform, break up the System as it now is, based on the fake rivalry of Con and Lab; then social-nationalism can take off.
When I started at the English Bar in the early 1990s, I was not infrequently briefed by solicitors acting for the PKK. Nothing political in my being briefed, though— I simply got one brief, won the case, then got others off the back of that, as commonly happens at the Bar. As a matter of fact, I tend to favour the Turks (or did, before the secular legacy of Ataturk started to be eroded).
The PKK is apparently leaving guerrilla warfare behind; it has therefore decided to follow in the footsteps of many another “terrorist” “army”, inter alia the IRA, ETA, FARC etc.

Allison Pearson is supporting the very lobby that is behind most of the attacks on free speech and freedom of expression in this country.

Not just because of the “little boats”. Because of the “legal” immigration invasion too.
It goes even beyond that. The discontent is also by reason of the whole multicultural/multiracial society which, for decades, has been slowly killing our more civilized British/European society.
Indeed, the burgeoning popular discontent goes beyond even the cultural/racial factors, and includes the fact that society is becoming more stressed, but with fewer material and other rewards for most British people. Also, the perception, largely if not entirely true, that “nothing works properly any more“.

Nigel Farage & Reform could easily outflank Labour & the Tories again by just coming out tomorrow saying they’ll scrap Indefinite Leave to Remain altogether
The “Boriswave” was an idiotic decision that will impose enormous costs on the British people
I read a couple of pieces in the online-only Independent newspaper and its connected Indy100 site. Semi-literate, semi-educated. Examples? In the Independent, in an interview with the ex-MP, Mike Amesbury, Amesbury described the three days he recently spent in prison as “…surreal…like an out-of-body experience“, which the Independent‘s scribbler, one Ellie Crabbe, wrote down as “an outer body experience“. No sub-editor (if they even have any) corrected Ms. Crabbe’s egregious mistake. Appalling ignorance. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/reform-labour-amesbury-runcorn-chancellor-b2745519.html.
Meanwhile, in the Indy100, one Harriet Brewis, described as “ the Chief Reporter at indy100, covering everything from scientific discoveries to online trends. She previously worked on the Evening Standard’s news desk, heading up the coronavirus blog throughout 2020 and writing the website’s leading stories“, writes that a lake in California has returned after long absence, the water having been extracted by “the greed of colonialists“! Ha ha… Is this an English news outlet, or a Cuban one?
The water extraction was in the USA of the late 19thC, as the article does say, so “colonialists” is a bit anachronistic, arguably, and not really accurate anyway, however bad the treatment of the local Indians/Native Americans may have been.
I might add that that report was published somewhere else a year or two ago. I recall reading it, or some version of it.
“Former chancellor Jeremy Hunt has said the Conservatives cannot rule out becoming extinct because of a “massive earthquake” in politics that is seeing the fracturing of the old two-party system.
Senior Conservatives are increasingly alarmed about polls that show support for the party plummeting, while Reform UK is soaring.
Some Conservative party sources said there appeared to be “very little dynamism” within Conservative Campaign Headquarters about trying to turn the party’s electoral fortunes around, while many local activists and some agents have already made the leap to supporting Reform.
On Wednesday morning, a YouGov Westminster voting intention poll put Reform on 29%, Labour on 22%, the Conservatives on 17%, the Liberal Democrats 16%, and the Greens 10% – suggesting the Tories are now flirting with fourth place in popularity.“
[Guardian]
In fact, the Conservative Party may well soon be in fifth place in terms of numbers of Commons seats (after Reform, Labour, LibDems, and the SNP).
“The government’s planned disability benefit cuts will hit 700,000 families who are already in poverty, according to internal Department for Work and Pensions forecasts obtained by the Guardian.
The figures, sourced under the Freedom of Information Act, are in addition to the projected 250,000 people who will be newly driven below the poverty line by the cuts, as set out by the government’s impact assessment in March.
Disability rights campaigners called the new disclosure “truly shocking” and said the changes would push people even further away from having the means to find work.
The DWP estimates that 3.2 million families across Great Britain will lose out under the plans in 2029/2030, about three years after the cuts are due to take effect. Of those, 700,000 will be families already categorised as being in relative poverty, when taking housing costs into account.“
[Guardian]
So that is some of the human and social cost of the policies of Starmer-stein, Rachel Reeves, and Liz Kendall (all members, incidentally, of Labour Friends of Israel). What, however of the political cost to Labour?
We see Labour already languishing in the opinion polls below 25%, in some at only 22%. I have already blogged about the fact that the UK population now has about 20% of its population non-white, and that those voters (those eligible and actually voting) probably now provide the vast bulk of Labour votes.
Since Starmer-stein lied his way to the office of Prime Minister in July 2024, his misgovernment has alienated the “average white families”, those above State Pension age, those approaching State Pension age, almost all British workers at or below average incomes, anyone concerned about the racial and cultural degradation of the country, anyone concerned about developers trashing the green countryside, and anyone at all concerned about the migration-invasion of between half a million and a million immigrants and/or invaders every single year.
Now, in addition to the above, Starmer-stein’s regime is about to hit not only the various types of disabled person, but also their families and others. The biggest hit will come in 2028 and 2029, just when the next general election is probably going to be held.
[“But I voted Labour last time! Never again!“]
The result of all of that is that Labour will quite likely have (a trend forecast on the blog quite a while ago, a few years ago) votes mainly from (some of) the “blacks and browns”, and (some of) the public service workers, including (some of) the NHS workforce. Even the 18-24 demographic generally is turning away from Labour.
The electoral result may be that Labour can only score 22%, maybe only 20%, at the next general election. The Conservative Party, on present showing, may not even achieve that. The LibDems are the default “alternative” or “dustbin party”, so will pick up votes from both, but mainly from disaffected Con voters; perhaps 15% or so overall. Greens and several others will take (combined) about 10%-15% of votes. That leaves maybe 30% of the whole available for Reform.
Nature abhors a vacuum. If Reform gets to 30%, with Con and Lab both in the 20%-25% range, the earthquake will have happened. Reform will be in government with a 30 or even 50-seat majority, Labour may have fewer than 140 MPs, and the Con Party may slump to as few as 25.
Once the main System parties are displaced, the only real alternative to Reform, after 2029, will be real social nationalism.
So less money for the Treasury (which means it will have to be found from elsewhere), and more unwanted immigrants coming to the UK (and don’t believe the nonsense about “short-term working” etc…).
The Starmer-stein and Rachel Reeves fake “Labour” government is a disaster in every way.

He always supports police-state measures; he did it during the “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic, he did so when the BNP was rising up, he even did so when UKIP looked like becoming a major party. He certainly did so in relation to Greece, when the popular Golden Dawn social-national party was repressed by the fake “Left” or “socialist” party, Syriza, when the latter was in power. Syriza quickly sold out to international banking and the EU. The Golden Dawn people, many of them, still sit in prison.

Defend? Against what? There is a concerted attempt to push for war with Russia, which would be both mad and pointless, Russia having no interest at all in invading central or western parts of Europe.
Ukraine was always part of Russia; as for the Baltic States or pribaltika, while I respect their rights to self-determination and their own cultures, that respect would not outweigh the right of the UK, France, and Germany etc not to get into a nuclear conflict with Russia over that small part of Northern Europe. In fact, the only reason Russia is now overshadowing the three Baltic states is because they have joined NATO. The same is true of Finland.
Present-day Russia is not like the old Soviet Union. It does not have the expansionist drive that came out of Marxist-Leninist ideology. It is also far less efficient in terms of military power (and secret intelligence etc).
European culture and civilization is threatened not by that fantasy “Russian invasion” but by migration-invasion from backward parts of the world, and I see very few and very weak attempts being made even to slow it, let alone stop it.

Boris Johnson was just as bad. He literally removed the requirement for British companies to advertise jobs in Britain first while flooding the country with low-skill, low-wage immigration that is making us poorer and driving crime. https://t.co/VRa6DiqVEu
“Boris” Johnson— part-Jew and pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby, and a Conservative Friends of Israel member; Starmer-stein likewise— pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby, not himself Jewish (as far as is known) but with a Jewish wife, and with children being brought up as if fully-Jewish, Starmer being a member of Labour Friends of Israel.
Join the dots. Both Starmer-stein and “Boris” Johnson were fanatically in favour of the police-state measures brought in under cover of the “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic, both funneled British taxpayers’ monies to “Ukraine” (the mainly Jewish regime in Kiev), and both encouraged and still encourage mass immigration into Britain, while having English/British dissidents and protesters arrested. Both also want to allow (((developers))) to build on what is left of the “green and pleasant land”.
As I say, just join the dots.

Once again, we see where that Harwood bastard is coming from. For him, British politics and society is all about the (((money))). Same goes for GB News generally (and, even worse, the “no-one watches” Talk TV).

Tweeter “@benonwine” should consider what percentage of the UK population is now non-European (non-white). About 20%. Not all of that bloc vote, and not all of that bloc who vote, vote Labour, but most do. Question more or less answered.
As to Goodwin’s tweet and YouGov’s polling, according to Electoral Calculus [https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html], those numbers would be enough to give Reform about 345 MPs, and a goodly-sized Commons majority (19, but in practical terms about 30 or 40. Other significant parties: 143 Labour MPs, 71 LibDems, SNP 38, Cons 23.
On that basis, the once-great Conservative Party would be reduced to a very small rump of 23 MPs, and would be a very poor fifth party in the Commons, after Reform, Labour, LibDems, and the SNP. It would be the end of the Conservative Party, bar the shouting about the whys and wherefores.
Sending Kemi Badenoch back to Nigeria at once, or at least sacking her (asap), might save some of the present Con Party MPs, but not most, I think. The tipping point may already have been reached. Every time I see the woman on TV, I think, “can anyone really see that as a Prime Minister?“.

Even 6 months ago, the Jewish government of Israel (occupied Palestine) was describing this as a mere and “antisemitic” conspiracy theory. Well, here we are and it seems as if, like so many “antisemitic” “conspiracy theories” and/or “tropes”, this one is, in a word, true.
Looks as if the Palestinian Arab population of Gaza is going to be either entirely killed off or (the survivors) moved God-knows-where into desert camps. It is like a reverse engineer of the foundation myth of the (original) Jews: from the land of milk and honey to a barren desert, possibly in the Sinai Peninsula.
Jewish “human rights” lawyers (of which there are many) will no doubt continue to claim that what the Jews of Israel are doing to the Gazan population is “not genocide“, but that kind of discussion is really akin to the mediaeval Scholastics debating as to how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.
One might add that the Jew-Zionist fanatics outside Israel/Palestine, in the UK and elsewhere, themselves claim that as many as 95% of Jews in the UK, France etc support Israel, and that most of those Jews support what the Israeli government has done, is doing, and plans to do in Gaza and other parts of Palestine still inhabited mainly by Arab populations.
“Jack Monroe” (Melissa Hadjicostas)— latest
I missed this, from 2 months ago:
Almost a year after the whole Jack Monroe debacle began, our nightmare is finally over, and we can make a new start #jackmonroepic.twitter.com/sh6KSobQwg
Regular readers of the blog will be aware that, several years ago, when I first mentioned “Jack Monroe”, the so-called “Bootstrap Cook”, I was fairly neutral, even slightly sympathetic to her. As I found out more about her, about her entirely invented “backstory”, and about how she had lied about almost everything to do with her life and work, I became more critical.
I also discovered that “Jack Monroe” was making thousands of pounds monthly, indeed tens of thousands at times, from hundreds of well-meaning mugs, who were sending her regular donations via the Patreon website. That was in addition to TV, radio, and other appearance fees, book advances and royalties, and money gathered in from other mugs online on the premise that she was going to sue various public figures, such as the MP Lee Anderson.
The above can all be found via the search box on the blog.
Look at that tweet above. “Jack Monroe”, who frequently extracted money from mugs by claiming to be starving, near-homeless, unable to feed her child (who was, in any event, apparently not looked after by her anyway, most of the time), was (despite vast sums having, so to speak, gone up her nose or down her throat) able to offer the vendor of the said property £157,000 in cash.
Look also at how she is, it is said, now working in some (well-remunerated?) role at Southend Council (Essex). Her father, a Greek Cypriot by origin, was a senior fire officer in Essex, and once got her a job answering calls, before she discovered how easy it was to get many times the money from mugs as an outright fraud. Her father is or was also a property rental-owner of some significance in that town, and may be (presumed but I do not know for sure) a freemason. Join the dots.
Essex, particularly South Essex, is a bit of a “rotten borough” in some ways. The County Council was cheated out of £600,000 by a Jew called Simon Harris (aka “Man Behaving Dadly”) a few years ago. Neither he nor “Jack Monroe” have ever been brought to book for their “grifting” and worse.

I made the same points on the blog, and some months in advance of the above…
Many people seem to —shall I say, politely?— echo the blog content in their own online commentaries.
The first tweeter was right, though. “Jack Monroe” is now recognized by most people as a fraud, a con-woman and a total fantasist whose recipes are themselves a fraud, poor in terms of nutrition, far more expensive than claimed, and often looking like a dog’s dinner. All of which I started to notice years ago. What was not so years ago is that the whole “Bootstrap Cook” thing has now been dropped by the msm. Only complete mugs now give “Jack Monroe” any credence whatever.

[“My monologue on today’s The Times at One with Andrew Neil. More at 1pm tomorrow on @TimesRadio.
Eighty years on from the end of the Second World War in Europe and we’re at a watershed in British politics — one of these historic turning points which up-ends politics and radically reconfigures the two-party system as we’ve known it.
Two parties have long been the bedrock of British politics. Conservative versus Whig in the early part of the 19th century. Conservative versus Liberal from the mid-1850s onwards. Conservative versus Labour from the 1920s onwards, especially since the end of the war in 1945.
You will have noticed that, as Whig gave way to Liberal and Liberal to Labour, Conservative remained a consistent presence. Which is what makes this latest rearranging of the two-party deck chairs unique — for the first time in 200 years it looks as if the Conservatives are going to be the victims of a radical realignment in British politics.
Of course we’re really talking England here rather than Britain. The two-party system has been dead for decades in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. You could say England is only now catching up with the rest of the country. And transition can be messy.
After last year’s general election and last week’s local elections, England has gone from a largely two-party system to a five-party system. Our first-past-the-post voting system produces a clear winner when only two parties are vying for power. But when our votes are spread generously across five parties, the outcome can be unpredictable and haphazard. Not only will no one party have an overall majority. No party will have anything close to it. So even coalition building becomes problematic. And that carries the risk of becoming ungovernable.
The catalyst in all this, of course, is Nigel Farage’s insurgent Reform party. It takes disillusioned votes from Labour and Conservative alike. After last year’s general election it is second in 89 Labour seats. And after last week’s elections a majority of these Labour seats are now vulnerable. But whereas Reform is on track to beat Labour it is on track to replace the Conservatives, which is why the Conservatives have most to lose. Even traditional Tories now talk privately about the need to have some sort of accommodation with Reform. That could be wishful thinking.
If Reform heads towards around a 30% share of the vote in the polls — it won a bit more than that in actual votes last week — then the Tories will be languishing in the late teens. And far from securing a friendly merger with Reform — would more likely face a hostile takeover.
However the chips eventually fall, the Tory-Labour two-party system would seem to be on its last legs. It’s had a good innings but now looks knackered. Last week showed the Tories have claimed back no ground since their thrashing last July. Indeed they might be losing more. It also confirmed that Labour and its leader Keir Starmer have fallen further and faster in public approval since that landslide victory than any new government in living memory.
The two-party system which gave Labour and Tory alternate turns at power is now widely derided for having delivered a stagnant economy, squeezed living standards, uncontrolled mass migration, broken public services, a remote woke establishment and unbridled net zero zealotry.
Voters might not be sure what they want. But they know what they don’t want, which is more of the same. Which is what propels Reform and the closer it gets to that crucial 30% of the vote the more it will upend politics as we’ve known it. For it’s at around 30% that a ton of seats start falling Reform’s way. Not enough to give it an overall majority. Not enough to give Farage the keys to 10 Downing Street. But enough to be the largest party. Enough to have a veto on who forms a government. Enough to make Farage, always underestimated by the political and media establishment, if not king then the kingmaker.“]
[Andrew Neil]
Late talking point
As Tim Stanley points put in The Telegraph, both parties have decided that the lesson to take from being beaten is to do more of the same. They just refuse to actually listen.

1629? I should have thought that 1829 was more accurate. Never mind.
Well, the by-election is to be held the day after tomorrow, Thursday 1 May 2025. The chance for the voters of that area to make British political history. At present, Reform and Labour are neck-and-neck, according to the opinion polls. I have already blogged that I think that Reform can smash it, but that depends on all Reform-leaning voters getting out and voting, if they have not already done so by postal ballot. As for 2024 General Election Con voters, the Conservative Party candidate has no chance at all at the by-election (and got only 16% last year); so to stick it to Labour, vote Reform.
Any 2024 Labour voters wanting to send a message to Starmer-stein can either vote Reform (or, failing that, at least for some other party that is standing a candidate) or simply abstain.
If Reform can win the by-election, then both Labour and Con are doomed; if Labour manage to hang on, that too says that Labour is doomed, because Runcorn and Helsby was the 16th most-Labour seat as recently as July last year. A mere Labour win, unconvincing, would say that most of the country hates Starmer-stein and his fake Labour-label.

I agree with tweeter “@CambrayXX”. Who are the Labour Party supporters in these polls? I think that the answer is that the UK is now about 20% non-white. Labour Party support is running at about 25%. Most blacks and browns (and other non-Brits) vote Labour.
By my reckoning, and using Electoral Calculus, those figures would give Reform 271 MPs, Labour 176, LibDems 69, Cons 68. Enough of the surviving Con MPs would defect to Reform, or make an accommodation, to give Reform a working majority.
Hard to understand why any white English/Welsh/Scottish person would vote Labour-label now. The policies are indistinguishable from those pursued by “Conservatives” David Cameron-Levita and George Osborne from 2010-2015.
I think that, especially in the North of England, there are still people around who support Labour in the same manner as they do their local football team— unthinkingly, and because their grandparents did; and maybe they have not noticed that Starmer-stein’s Labour-label of 2025 is just not the same party Labour was in 1975, or 1965, or 1945. It has become a different party with a similar label.
The same or similar is true of many unthinking “Conservative” voters in the more southerly parts of the UK.

What a disappointment Dan Jarvis has been. I had thought that, as an ex-officer, and with a varied life-background, he would be better as an MP than he has been. Seems to be very pro the Jewish/Israel lobby, for one thing.
Actually, ex-officers usually are disappointing, not infrequently useless, both as MPs and, especially, as ministers (cf. Johnny Mercer, Iain Dunce Duncan Smith, Ben Wallace etc).
