"The knowledge that at least some Conservative ministers opposed the woke agenda meant radical activists in the institutions could not fully let rip. But that leash came off when Labour won on July 4" – guest essay by leading scholar of wokeism @epkaufmhttps://t.co/zBe2Fqilc1
“Ultimately, this means that defending our truth-based order, free speech and national identity is considered undignified while sacrificing these values in the name of ‘equal outcomes’ and ‘emotional safety’ is not.
Of course, Labour is also proposing innocent-sounding legislation on hate speech and racial equality which will further supercharge this woke cultural socialism, shutting down offensive speech while pressuring organizations to discriminate against whites and males to achieve equal outcomes for identity groups.
Will Britain wake up in time to prevent…erosion of our long traditions of free speech, free expression, objective truth, equal treatment and due process? Will future generations be taught to hate the British past and the white men who played an outsized role in creating our national community?
At best, I think we have one or two decades to reverse the march of wokeism before today’s Zoomers and Millennials, who prioritise ‘emotional safety’ over free speech, become the median voter and the country reaches a point of no return.”

It will be recalled by older British readers that, in the Dikko case of 1984, an Israeli Jew doctor was directly involved in the MOSSAD operation to kidnap a former Nigerian government minister:
“The Dikko affair was a joint Nigerian–Israeli attempt to kidnap Umaru Dikko, a former Nigerian government minister living in the United Kingdom, in 1984, and secretly transport him back to Nigeria in a diplomatic bag. The kidnapping took place, but the transportation thereof was unsuccessful.
Mossad sources across Europe failed to locate Dikko. However, Mossad Director-General Nahum Admoni decided that Dikko was probably in London, which had become a haven for Nigerian exiles critical of the new regime.
Mossad field officers (katsas), accompanied by Nigerian security service agents led by ex-Nigerian Army Major Mohammed Yusufu, traveled to London. The Nigerian team rented an apartment on Cromwell Road and posed as refugees from the new regime. The Mossad agents rented rooms in hotels catering to tourists from Africa, and posed as anti-apartheid activists.
Working separately, the two teams moved among the Nigerian expat community in London, gradually narrowing their search to West London, to the area around Hyde Park, where many wealthy Nigerian exiles lived. They combed the electoral registers freely available in the area’s town halls, but found no trace of Dikko.
On 30 June 1984, a Mossad agent driving down Queensway, in Bayswater, spotted Dikko. He parked his car and then tailed Dikko on foot to his house in Porchester Terrace. Admoni was immediately informed, and ordered surveillance on the house. From then on, the house was constantly watched, while the Nigerians, using their London high commission as a base, prepared a kidnapping operation.
Meanwhile, Mossad recruited Levi-Arie Shapiro, an Israeli doctor who was a consultant anesthetist and director of the intensive care unit at HaSharon Hospital. He was to fly to London and participate in the operation. Shapiro’s job would be to drug Dikko, and insert an endotracheal tube to keep him from choking on his own vomit while being transported in a crate.”

Pro-migration-invasion “@zoejardiniere” (Zoe Gardner) with her usual pro-mass migration nonsense.
The 100,000 figure refers to invaders (often “illegals”) who are in the UK without having been granted leave to remain.
Still, her tweet featuring the Daily Telegraph story does confirm what I have repeatedly said on the blog would be the Labour policy: “stop the boats” by allowing almost all “asylum” applicants to stay. Those already on UK territory to be “processed” (rubberstamped) and allowed to stay (and so to work, and/or —more likely— claim benefits, apply for social housing, get a State Pension eventually etc). Those in France or elsewhere to be “processed” (rubberstamped) there, with 95% allowed to come to the UK.
This is the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan in action. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan. Of course, it will mean social and economic disaster not far down the line. Political upheaval too.
There is also the point that the “small boats” invasion is but 5% of the total of all migration to the UK. We are talking about a million, give or take, every year. Even if you use the “net migration” figure, meaning excluding those leaving every year (most of them Brits desperately emigrating to Australasia etc), we are still talking about well over half a million a year, maybe three quarters of a million, in bald numbers.
Zoe Gardner talks about “rebuilding lives”, but what is really happening is that lives, British lives, are being destroyed via mass immigration: impossibility of house purchase for most, impossibility even of renting properties without having to share with strangers or wasting most of a person’s pay on rent; crowded railways and roads; crowded State schools; ever-declining health services; a society in which real British people have to share space and life with persons of totally different race and culture.
Of course, those promoting all of that, whether “@ZoeJardiniere” or Yvette Cooper, will not themselves be subject to such cheapening of their lives. They, most of such pro-migration people, live far from those alien madding crowds.

NEW POST. This is the ONE issue that will derail the new Labour government. How the public mood on one big issue is starting to movehttps://t.co/1Z4tNem2r8
“Starmer’s spokesman, too, has already indicated the Labour government will allow more than 100,000 illegal migrants who are already in the country to apply for asylum, thereby, in my view, creating a huge incentive for many more to come.
Labour’s new Home Secretary, Yvette Cooper, who just watched Nigel Farage’s Reform party finish second in her own northern seat, has also refused to say the Labour government is committed to Rishi Sunak’s pledge to “stop the boats”.
And the Labour government is already pressing ahead with its proposed ‘solution’ to the illegal migration crisis by establishing a ‘new UK Border Security Command’ to ‘tackle the gangs’ —a move which for reasons I’ve already outlined (see here and here) is unlikely to stop the gangs or the small boat invasion at all. In fact, I’ve yet to meet a single expert who thinks Labour’s plan on illegal migration will work.“
[Matt Goodwin]
"The man tipped to be in charge of stopping the small boats has said he is "proud to be woke", compared Suella Braverman to Enoch Powell, praised Black Lives Matter & openly opposed a ‘No Deal’ Brexit. Is this the man to restore trust?"https://t.co/1Z4tNem2r8
“Furthermore, the very man tipped to be appointed by Labour to tackle the small boats, Neil Basu, has previously said he is “proud to be woke”, compared Suella Braverman to Enoch Powell, has suggested diversity and inclusion are the most important things in policing, spoken positively about the revolutionary group Black Lives Matter (BLM), and openly opposed a ‘No Deal’ Brexit.“
[Matt Goodwin]
Neil Basu was one of the most senior policeman, and was always shouting about the “danger” from the so-called “far right” (despite migration invasion happening all around him); he seems, all of the time, to have supported the interests of the non-white population as against those of the real British people. That was certainly my perception.

Reform UK is a symptom of how angry rather a lot of English people are about the state of the country. Over 4 million votes, over 14% of those voters who voted (i.e. Reform UK was voted for by 1 in 7 voters).
Reform UK got 14.3% of votes, but only 5 MPs.
LibDems? Fewer votes by far than Reform, yet 72 MPs. Ridiculous.
The Conservative Party got 23.7%, little more than one and a half times the number of votes taken by Reform, yet 121 MPs.
Where is the justice, or even logic, in that?
As for the Labour Party, its 33.7% of votes cast represents less than two and a half times the Reform vote, yet it ends up with 411 MPs!
Again, no justice and no logic.
Apparently, Peter Barnes (or Peter C. Barnes) is a UK political campaigns person, who works or has worked for the Conservative Party, and who appears on the “no-one watches” Talk TV and the “almost no-one watches” GB News television outlets.
Back in May I made a prediction. A lot changed and to everyone’s surprise @reformparty_uk actually secured the seats
Seems that Barnes blames Reform UK for Labour’s faux “landslide” (procured by a mere 33.7% of votes cast, i.e. about 20% of all potential votes), and via an electoral system patently not fit for purpose.
In reality, the blame for the Starmer-Labour victory should be placed, first and foremost, with a succession of supposedly “Conservative” governments over the past 14 years, headed by no less than 5 Conservative Party prime ministers who all turned out to be complete deadheads.
Those Conservative Party governments presided over the importation of 3-4 MILLION immigrants, mostly non-European, and over the trashing of public services including the libraries, courts, police, district nursing, roads, elder care, social housing; also riverine pollution… you name it.
At present, mass immigration into the UK is somewhere around a million a year. Yes, a few hundred thousand also leave, but most of the leavers are Brit or other European people emigrating to Australasia and elsewhere.
Barnes seems to think that, had Reform UK not existed, all or most of its voters would have voted Con, thus preventing a Labour government, or one with a majority.
First of all, while most 2024 election Reform UK voters would not have voted Labour in those or any circumstances, that does not mean that they would have voted Con. Probably not. More likely, abstention.
Secondly, parties exist for a reason. There now seems little reason for most voters to vote Con. That seems to be lost on Westminster Bubble types such as Barnes (of whom I had not heard until today). Reform UK is the outcome of profound discontent in the depths of the population.
If Labour (as I firmly expect) fails to give the British people what they require, then Reform UK will not only grow in influence, but will also be the least of the problems of the System parties.
Britain needs a real social-national movement.
Remarkable how he got such a big majority on so few votes. Also he has the lowest popularity rating of any newly elected PM

As I predicted. Labour continues the fiction that the problem is “smuggling gangs” etc, when the real problem is the migration invasion itself (both “legal” and “illegal”), and that would be about the same whether or not various types of criminal were making profits from it all.
I also predicted that Labour in government would open “processing centres” in France, approve 95% of applicants (who will then travel on to the UK “legally”, via ferry or air); the TV and newspaper coverage of invaders being ferried to the South Coast ports (via RNLI and Border Force) or beaches (via rubber boats etc) will simply all but stop, but the invasion itself will continue, just invisibly.

Tweeter “@IGMansfield” obviously loves the new “elected” dictatorship of Labour, as it prepares to build over the once “green and pleasant land” so that the invading migrants have a hutch to call their own. No consultation, no appeal, and he loves it.
We often talk about the “enemies of the people”. They now emerge in plain sight. Those who want to trash what is left of this country, whether for profit or for political tendentiousness.
Look at those applauding that tweet (eg below). Not all, or even mostly, any kind of “socialist”:
There is still a small window of opportunity for a party such as Reform UK, or even a genuinely social-national party, to make headway in terms of Commons seats etc. All roads lead to Rome. However, we are getting to the point where ordinary political activity, as per the Reform phenomenon, is not likely to lead to real success, or to triumph.
We are facing an exploding non-European population in the UK, and an upcoming repression on free speech worse than anything so far seen.
Meanwhile, the hordes of “useful idiots” applaud fake “Labour” and love to see government being tyrannical and careless of civil rights (a phenomenon also noted during the 2020-2022 “Covid” panicdemic/scamdemic),
Starmer-Labour has little in common with “the party formerly known as Labour”; it is a finance-capitalist project, which poses (and is presented by the msm) as wildly popular because of its Commons “landslide”, when in reality (as examined on the blog over the past few days), it only got 33.7% of the popular vote. Indeed, 40% of the eligible electorate did not vote, so the real support for Starmer-Labour in the country is only about 20%.
This is a WEF government, a ZOG/NWO government, a Labour Friends of Israel government, a Bilderberg government. It has no real validity.
Starmer-Labour is really just another globalist and finance-capitalist “project” akin to Blair’s “New Labour”, as seen in the many Blair-Brown faces now in government. The myriad new MPs are basically lobby-fodder.

Peter Hitchens is a confirmed political spectator, and has certain fixed views, one of which seems to be a huge over-valuation of the importance of voting every 4-5 years. He thinks that MPs are terrified of their voters voting them out. No, because they have incentives to vote according to other motivations, such as lobby money, outside “work” as “consultants”, party discipline (careerism), possibility of a paid “peerage” down the line etc.
Another Hitchens characteristic is that he is very fixated on the “two main parties” set-up which has dominated British politics (with LibDem and SNP distractions) since the Second World War and to a large extent since the First World War.
Hitchens seems to think that it was wrong for the public to turn to Reform UK, and that it would have been better to have had a Labour government with a much smaller majority.
I disagree. That would change nothing, and the UK needs to change (though not in the Starmer-Labour way). Hitchens seems to support a different kind of Conservative Party, if possible, but you cannot put new wine into old bottles.
There isn't one. If there was an opportunity to reforge conservatism in this country, which is arguable, it passed in 2010, when British patriotic conservatives endorsed David Cameron's Blairite takeover of the Tory Party.( as I have said here 1,000 times before).@rikstoreyhttps://t.co/TUXqKHA67o
Regular readers will know that I have little time for Farage, let alone Tice etc. They are not social-national. However, their Reform UK project has moved the “Overton Window”, and has started to break up the rigged political system that has been in place all of my life.
Hitchens is right in saying, as he does, that Reform UK is just Farage, but you could have said that about, say, on a higher and more significant political level, Adolf Hitler and the NSDAP.
As Rudolf Hess said, famously, at Nuremberg in 1934, “Die Partei ist Hitler, aber Hitler ist Deutschland wie Deutschland Hitler ist!” [see https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6uajey at 1:43:00].
For me, Reform UK is but one means to an end, not the final destination.
Not Keir Starmer, .@mrsonicadvance . *?Please* grasp the breathtakingly simple point of voting *against*. It hopes to *prevent* an undesired outcome. I long ago ceased to imagine that voting in Britain could have any positive outcome for conservatives. https://t.co/HYitBymN2v
Does Hitchens really imagine that Starmer-Labour is or will be worse than (or even very different from) the “Conservative” governments of the past 14 years?
“In his 1991 book Geschichtsdenken im 20. Jahrhundert (Historical Thinking in the 20th Century), Nolte asserted that the 20th century had produced three “extraordinary states”, namely Germany, the Soviet Union, and Israel. He claimed that all three were “abnormal once”, but whereas the Soviet Union and Germany were now “normal” states, Israel was still “abnormal” and, in Nolte’s view, in danger of becoming a fascist state that might commit genocide against the Palestinians.”
Good grief. What a list! Only one or two are even European. Suella Braverman of Indian origins; James Cleverly of mixed African and English origins; Kemi Badenoch, Nigerian; Priti Patel, East African Indian origin; Tom Tugendhat, quarter-Jewish; Robert Jenrick, possibly fully-English (uncertain); Victoria Atkins.
Speaking personally, if I were in any case a Conservative, I should find Jenrick unacceptable by reason of his seeming (?) corruption, his Jewish personal links (not just his wife, his social circle, which seems to consist largely of Jewish business sharks), and his poor judgment in office.
Tugendhat? Apart from his part-Jewish origins, he is very very keen on support for Israel and the Kiev regime. Also, I am always suspicious when someone, especially from a privileged background (his father was a High Court judge), has a large hole in his or her CV.
Tugendhat seems to have graduated in or about 1994, then spent a year (?) getting a Master’s degree in Islamic studies. After that, he spent a brief time as a journalist on an English-language newspaper in Beirut.
We next hear of Tugendhat about 6-7 years later, in 2003, when he is gazetted as a Territorial Army officer (after a month or two, joining the Intelligence Corps); as of 2013, Lt.-Colonel in the Int. Corps. He was also working, ostensibly for the Foreign Office and in a civilian capacity or role, in Iraq in 2005.
As MP and minister, Tugendhat has been associated with both “security” matters and allied matters of so-called “extremism”. He seems to be hostile to free speech, especially about Israel and the Jewish/Zionist lobby.
Well, one can draw one’s own conclusions.
Not much to say about Victoria Atkins. A barrister by training, and married to a multi-millionaire who is a director of numerous large companies, including British Sugar.
I cannot see any of the above appealing to the British voters.
The only Conservative Party MP for whom I would have any time at all would be David Davis [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Davis_(British_politician)], who at least has proven that he has principle, respect for civil rights and, also, courage. He, however, is now 75, and may not want to lead that rabble anyway.

Something pretty big is missing from Labour's historic landslide: voters. Keir Starmer is set to win 64 per cent of the seats but on only 33.8 per cent of the votes, the smallest vote share of any modern PM https://t.co/kD6RBa8VaR
Not only that, but Starmer-Labour’s vote-share of 33.8% was, of course, 33.8% of those that bothered to vote. Turnout was only 60%, so Starmer-Labour’s share of the entire eligible electorate was only 20.28%. That’s before you even take into account those too young to vote.
So active support for Starmer-Labour is, at best, little more than 20%, one in five of the eligible electorate. Even then, one has to consider that —as I have blogged since a long time prior to the General Election— the main motivation for all voters, except the quite small minority that actually voted Conservative, was to get rid of the Conservative government and, if possible, party, not to install a Starmer-Labour government.
It is quite likely that only about 10%-15% of the population really support Starmer-Labour.
Of course, it is worse for the Conservative Party. On the above bases and premises, real support for the Conservatives, in the country as a whole, is somewhere between 5% and 14%. Much worse than their headline 23.7% vote-share.
Nearly 60% of voters, of the 60% who voted, voted for one of the three main System parties, but if you factor in the non-voting eligible voters, that means that a minority (well below 40%) of all eligible voters voted for a System party . Then factor in younger people unable to vote, and the true “support” figure for the System, let alone the Starmer-Labour part of it, reduces to somewhere abound 20% (with Labour having maybe 15%, as already noted).

“Her son literally sells his wife Only Fans, and she has no experience outside of being a trade Union representative, is she remotely qualified or experienced enough to hold the office she has? These are valid questions. But we could ask this of the entire cabinet? Literally none of them have experience of my distinction outside of playing politics. Look at the business Secretary, he has literally never owned or even worked in a business? What knowledge can he possibly bring to the role? These are important questions, that can’t simply be brushed aside with a few slurs.“
Interesting.
Look at thick-as-two-short-planks David Lammy, now Foreign Secretary.
Admittedly, recent years have seen quite a few deadhead appointees to Cabinet anyway (including, as Foreign Secretary, Liz Truss and “Boris”-idiot), but look at this!
The only way this undeserved huge-majority Starmer-Labour government will not crash and burn within 1-2 years will be if it can stop mass immigration into the UK (I doubt that it will even try), and stop the cross-Channel “small boats” migration invasion (Starmer will probably simply set up “processing centres” in France, then rubberstamp 95% of applicants).
Starmer will also have to reconcile the “need” (caused mainly by mass immigration) to build huge numbers of new and really affordable houses and flats, meaning council or other social housing, and at the same time not trash the —mainly— English countryside, including Green Belt land.
Starmer-Labour will probably not have the money to build millions of dwelling units, so will turn to private housebuilding carpetbaggers, and so will probably let them loose on what should be protected countryside. Starmer will all but demolish planning controls answerable to local people.
I can see even worse bullying of the sick, disabled, and unemployed. Look at Rachel Reeves and Liz Kendall. Do you really see any compassion (or any particularly high intellect, or any willingness to think outside the box) there? I don’t.
Looks also as if the UK will continue to throw support, including money and weapons, to both “Ukraine” (the Kiev regime) and Israel.
I see no higher (indeed, lower) living standards in prospect. Mass immigration inevitably means lower pay (whatever some Twitter-twits may think), and also higher taxes (because most of the immigrants are, at best, parasitic overall, and many are prolifically criminal as well).
The fabric of society will continue to fray, both by reason of the importation of about a million non-Europeans each year and because of cultural and administrative factors.
In short, this new pseudo-landslide government will almost certainly fail the British people, and fail quickly. After the people wake up to that, anything is possible.

I recall reading a Russian-language book about Dzerzhinsky [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felix_Dzerzhinsky], sometime around 1982. When he was, in the early 1920s, and amid his other responsibilities, head of the rail industry, he discovered considerable inefficiency, corruption etc. He had some executives and other people shot. Apparently, his methods, harsh though they certainly were, checked the problem sufficiently until systemic improvements were implemented: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felix_Dzerzhinsky#Director_of_Cheka.

Oh, right…let’s have a “bas-class” Mauritian Indian and pro-Israel puppet as “Conservative” leader and, later, potential (will never happen, though) Prime Minister…
Nigel Farage’s plan to be prime minister in five years’ time may seem far-fetched, but it would take fewer than 340,000 voters to switch to Reform UK for the party to overtake the Tories and become the official opposition, a Telegraph analysis shows
I always said that the reason why British people, most of them, have not turned to social nationalism over my lifetime [b.1956] is because not enough of them were hurting enough. Not enough of them hurting enough and not enough of them knowing where to place the blame and, also, not enough of them knowing where to place their trust.
The situation at present, as I see it, is that living standards are now falling (and have been for some time), that social and civic standards are in most respects at an all-time low, and still sliding, and that the background and intellectual level of MPs is at an all-time low, as is public trust in, and respect for, them.
All those above factors are getting worse, more pronounced. At the same time (and connected to the above), mass immigration is totally out of control. Not just the cross-Channel “illegals”, but the “legals” coming in on student visas, work visas, “family and friends” visas, “fiancee” visas, tourist visas (the “tourists” then disappearing or claiming asylum) and the rest. A million a year, give or take.
That whole situation has been the background for the loss of confidence in the Conservative Party, and is also the reason why Starmer-Labour is also actually quite unpopular, despite its “landslide by default”.
The happy cheers from TV studios and from System journalists such as John Rentoul are not echoed by the British people.
The situation on the ground is why Reform UK, despite its semi-“libertarian” bias, and its often underwhelming candidates, has managed to get 5 MPs and (arguably as important) over 4 million votes.
When Starmer-Labour falters, in 2025 or 2026, the British people may be ready for a much more radical movement of the “Overton Window”, policies well beyond those of Farage’s Reform UK.

It’s a truly precious thing to live in a country where people decide who should serve in government and when you should go. And that those in positions of power accept that with grace.
…and then, after those who stole and grifted for years get chucked out in elections, those same cheats and freeloaders (such as Jacqui Smith) get invited back into government, given a peerage (no need for silly elections, oh no…), and a ministerial portfolio! How wonderful “democracy” is!

If so, rather disappointing for me. I wanted the Conservative Party to be all but wiped out, primarily. 130 MPs will mean that it can still present itself as a potentially viable party of government, as it did after 1997. Very disappointing and irritating.
That means that the “2-3 main parties” scam rolls on, at least until 2029.
For social nationalism, there is no “Parliamentary road”…
Assuming that the exit poll is accurate, this is the triumph of the unmeritorious. Unmerited “elected” dictatorship for Labour. Unmerited success for the LibDems, getting 61 seats off little more than Ed Davey clowning and falling off sailboards etc. The “dustbin” party… Also, the unmerited survival of the Conservative Party, even if only as a rump party of ~131 MPs, but still enough to be the official Opposition.
The SNP, reduced to ~10 MPs at Westminster, is pretty much a dead duck as a party of Scottish government in the future, as is, now, any faux-“Independence” for Scotland.
As for Reform UK, I think that ~13 MPs constitute as good a result as they realistically could have expected. For the past 9 years, the LibDems have had fewer MPs: 8 in 2015, 12 in 2017, and 11 in 2019, yet look at them now— 61 MPs predicted. Reform UK could be there, or beyond there, in 2029. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberal_Democrats_(UK)#General_elections.

Blowback is a great podcast on the Iraq War.
“The invasion of Iraq in 2003 constitutes the greatest crime of the 21st century. The war killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, and the country plunged into a cycle of violence and misery that endures today.”…
A reminder that, in international affairs, there is sometimes no “good” option but only “bad” or “worse” options. Sometimes the “least worst” option is also the (relative) “best” at that particular time.
In the example, leaving a terrible tyrant like Saddam Hussein in place might be “bad” (arguably) but deposing him, destroying Iraq, and further destabilizing the region, thus also causing millions to flee westward, might be described as “worse” or even “worst”.

So we are asked to believe that two Reform UK GE 2024 candidates have only just discovered, in the latest case two days before the General Election, that they disagree with their Reform UK colleagues or ex-colleagues?
To me this looks like a set-up, maybe co-ordinated, maybe not.
The latest defector is one Georgie David. I wonder what her provenance might be. She does not look very European in the Sky News photo.
If those two candidates really are against the UK being mainly white Northern European etc, how stupid must they be to have joined with Reform UK in the first place? I might add that the pair are, obviously, though in a minor sense, “traitor” types by nature, to defect like that only days before the “off” (to put it in racing terms).
I doubt that the defections will have any effect on the General Election. In fact, I doubt that the barrage of anti-Reform propaganda being put out by the Conservative Party will do more than perhaps dent a little the Reform UK vote. Even if it did, it would not help the Con Party; any Reform-leaning voters in doubt would not vote Con anyway, but more likely abstain.

The only two where the range is relatively unimportant are Labour, which is (however unmeritoriously) on track for a massive win, it seems, and the LibDems, who seem likely to do modestly well or quite well purely by default, by being the “dustbin” or “tactical vote” choice.
All the rest? Either getting a bloc of significance, or almost nothing. Even the Con result will be very different on 34 MPs (a near wipeout) compared to 99 MPs (very poor but still just about in the game).

PV technology is more than 7 times more labor intensive than other energy sources. They never include disposing of the worn out panels, recycling copper wiring etc. after solar farms have reached end of life. So when they tell you solar makes back the energy used to build and maintain them in X amount of time, they are actually lying to you.”
Interesting, nicht wahr, that all these supposed imperative “needs”, such as concreting over the English countryside to provide “homes” (mostly for migrant-invaders), or creating massive solar farms in the countryside or, indeed, creating fake “vaccines” and the “need” for this, that, or the other anti-“pandemic” equipment and services, always seem to mean massive profit for greedy landowners, farmers, giant companies, the mass media organizations etc?

GE 2024 may be nailed on for Labour, but there is everything still to play for in respect of Reform UK; also, in terms of really wiping out (or not) the totally useless “Conservative” Party. Still 4 days or so to go before the campaign is at an end. About a fifth of eligible voters are still unsure whether to bother voting, and/or where to place their cross.
If Reform UK only gets about 15% or 16% across the board, then that will be underwhelming, though it should sink the Conservative Party. In that event, Reform would probably get only one or two MPs. If, on the other hand, Reform can get about 23%, then it might end up with 50+ MPs, and the map of British politics will have been irrevocably changed.

I revisited him last week, during a week-long trip through Israel and the West Bank, and I found that settlers have burned his cars and destroyed his tractor. They have cut down his olive trees and set his sheep shed on fire. They tried to break into his house when his granddaughter was home. Now his wife is arguing that they should give up their home, for fear of being burned alive by settlers.
This is life on the West Bank today. It doesn’t get as much attention as Gaza, but the situation is desperate. And the US is largely AWOL. I know it feels a long way away, but this is central to the Middle East crisis and is one reason I fear the crisis will get worse.

Kiev-regime “Ukraine” is not even a “failed state”— it is scarcely a state at all.

“Nigel Farage is on course to win the Clacton seat with a 27 point lead in a devastating blow to the Conservatives.
The Clacton Constituency poll, conducted by JL Partners on behalf of Friderichs Advisory Partners, has Farage polling at 48 per cent while the Tory leader sits back at 21 per cent of the vote share.
Farage is leading in every age group apart from the 18 to 34-year-olds and only one in five 2019 Conservative voters are sticking to the party.“
[GB News]
I presume by “Tory leader“, GB News means “Conservative Party candidate“(?), unless the reference is to Sunak in his Richmond (Yorkshire) constituency.
I predicted previously on the blog that the Labour candidate at Clacton would bomb, maybe even losing his deposit. Let’s see.
Never thought I’d ever say this, but well said, Harry Cole, on gamblegate:

Yes, 800 a day crossing the Channel, being ferried most of the way by the bloody “Border Force” farce and others, such as the RNLI, but what about the other invaders, 4,000+ per day, coming in quasi-“legally”?
Starmer-Labour will stop the smaller influx, the “small boats” influx, to a large extent, by simply rubberstamping 90% or more of the applications before they even get here, doing it in France, after which the invaders will simply get onto a ferry in Calais and will be here 2-3 hours later.

I do not think that I can be accused of being overly pro-Arab, let alone pro-Islamist, and I might be induced to agree that the attack on Israel in October 2023 should not have happened (for the good of all sides), but what Israel has done since then has been utterly abhorrent, and it continues to do the same or similar.
Well, this week I return to winning form: 8/10, compared to the 6/10 scored by political journalist John Rentoul. I did not know the answers to questions 7 and 10.

Cameron-Levita in his usual bubble of total unreality. The idiot who brought us the war on Gaddafi (result— millions of Africans flooding Europe), fake “austerity” (result— misery for millions, as well as lower economic growth than anywhere in the then EU, USA etc), and other misconceived policy choices, most recently the increased support for the brutal and shambolic dictatorship of Zelensky in Kiev.
Not only is it infuriating that a 95 year-old woman would be in jail for her words, not crimes, but the fact that she is speaking truth makes it even more absurd
Who has the 'whip hand' in this interaction? Or in all such interactions? Who does the state support more? Who would the police interject to defend first? Who does the organisation the interviewer represents themselves represent?
The pendulum may start to swing back now that pine martens are being reintroduced in several parts of the country; pine martens prey on grey squirrels but not (much) on red squirrels.
The Tories are unlikely to attract many Reform UK voters given…
– Only 36% would vote Tory if a Reform UK candidate wasn't standing – 61% are voting Reform despite thinking they won't win in their seat – 75% say the Tories and Labour are as bad as each other – 74-76%… pic.twitter.com/P7UpQvMAfJ
Desperate. I had not heard of that MP. Looks a bit of a careerist; tried to become a Police and Crime Commissioner at one point (came third in the election): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robbie_Moore_(MP).
I cannot think that those attempts at confusing the voters (of High Peak and also Keighley) will work. After all, most people vote according to party label, so when the voter is faced with a ballot paper, the “X” is placed by the party more than the candidate’s name.
Biden wanders offstage or walks like a geriatric robot. Yet we are meant to believe he’s carefully navigating us through the nuclear tripwires of the West’s serial wars.
Meanwhile, back in the real world… There are dozens of similar clips of Biden, far more embarrassing than this one. I included this photo and video because it's the most recent example and because the parachute strings work as a visual metaphor for my argument.
Just because Biden's dementia is obvious why do you assume the person is a Trump supporter? Maybe you should ask the DNC why they are running a dementia patient with an approval rating at an all time low? Biden will not win again. I suggest getting behind Jill Stein 👍🏽

Clacton
He’s a racist who said he likes to drink white men’s tears and believe Wakanda to be a real place. He’s a clown and Farage will wipe the floor with him.#votereform@reformparty_ukhttps://t.co/CGTXCU53cr
Labour has no chance at Clacton, a famously “left behind” and white British area. To choose an African “eternal student” as candidate is almost insulting to the voters there. Moreover, one whose social media posts make clear his hostility to the real people of the UK.
Despite Labour’s overall “popularity by default” in the nationwide campaign, I should not be surprised if its vote-share at Clacton were to dip below 10%.
The frightening thing is not that such a candidate is standing in Clacton, where Labour has little or no chance; it is that, across the country, similarly-hostile individuals are likely to be elected next month for Labour. God help the poor English people of these islands.
Labour’s candidate for Clacton, standing against @Nigel_Farage, has said:
White man tears are his “favourite drink”.
The people of Clacton surely won’t vote for someone who clearly has a problem with white men? pic.twitter.com/HbRILpgHaN
Not quite what I want to see: too many Con MPs. A couple of unexpected wrinkles too, such as Reform UK with 7 seats, and the SNP with 37, more than twice the number predicted elsewhere.
While the Con Party is toast pretty much whatever happens between now and 4 July, in some respects the General Election is quite open. A substantial minority are either undecided as to for which party they might vote, or are undecided as to whether to bother to vote at all.
That may mean a better than expected Con Party performance, a better than expected Labour (or even LibDem) performance but, most intriguingly, perhaps an even better than expected Reform UK vote, either as a targeted anti-Con vote, as a serious “I am dissatisfied” protest vote, or an angry “F.U., System parties!” vote.
The election is shaping up to be both interesting and important, perhaps even historic.
Our latest MRP shows the Conservatives are in deep trouble in their heartlands. They are set to hold on to just 13 out of 52 seats in the Blue Wall. Across these seats their vote share is down by an average of 23%. pic.twitter.com/Uog1OsAUko
Been a mad few days in the rain and the sun, but our signs are coming together. Thanks so much if you’ve let us put one on your fence. Any problems please do get in touch. I’m sorry they have my face in them. They’ll all be gone in a couple of weeks! pic.twitter.com/bDmOep9qjR

So will you, probably!
As people, from what I have seen online etc, ex-officer Mercer and his lady wife seem like a pleasant couple, but we are talking serious politics here.
Mercer has increased his majority steadily and considerably since first elected in 2015, but the general unpopularity of his party, his poor performance as a minister, and his personal moneygrasping would seem to leave him exposed. Also, Reform UK may well eat into his 2019 vote. Well, we shall soon know.
