Diary Blog, 14 March 2025, with latest opinion polling and comment on the Runcorn and Helsby by-election

Morning music

Starmer-stein is out of his depth. Useless in every way. Personally, I do not care whether Trump comes to the UK or not, but (as with Tony Blair and others) it is just pathetic to see what poodles British prime ministers are when it comes to the USA (and Israel).

[“No, wait! I voted Labour in 2024!” cried the poor mug as Liz Kendall, Rachel Reeves, and Keir Starmer-stein ordered the execution by stealth of the old, sick, and disabled]

Not sure I agree with all of that, but certainly agree about the net zero and mass immigration aspects. I wonder whether Matt Goodwin is positioning himself to become leader of Reform UK and, therefore, potentially, Prime Minister by 2028 or 2029?

As to the Runcorn and Helsby by-election, it is now surely Reform UK’s to lose, looking at the utterly disastrous Starmer-stein Labour Friends of Israel misgovernment. I have already covered the by-election on the blog:

Incidentally, Lord Ashcroft or his employees should learn to spell: “likelihood” is not spelled “likelyhood“.

That opinion poll is interesting, though. Labour support in the constituency seems to have almost halved since the 2024 General Election. In a way, however, the fact that a third of Runcorn and Helsby voters are still inclined to stick with fake “Labour” despite both the thuggishness of the former MP and the actions of Starmer-stein’s useless and unpleasant government says something, arguende, about the intelligence or nous of the average voter!

The fact is that the Conservative Party has no chance in that constituency anyway, so the way for Con or former Con supporters to stick it to Labour and/or Starmer-stein is to vote Reform.

As for disenchanted Labour or former Labour voters, they can protest against Starmer-stein’s and Rachel Reeves’ (and Liz Kendall’s) utter betrayal of everything for which “Labour” used to stand by voting Reform or, failing that, or if they cannot countenance that, by just staying home, abstaining from voting.

Incidentally, I just saw a Daily Mirror report about Kiev-regime drone strikes on Moscow yesterday or overnight. It included the classic error that one Ukrainian drone had hit an oil refinery near Moscow, “only 55 miles” from Putin’s palace on the Black Sea. Well, the nearest place —let alone palace— on the Black Sea from Moscow is about 865 miles away. The “British” msm is just full of absolute bs.

I agree with that tweet, but I also agree with this:

At present, the UK is importing about a million so-called “legal” immigrants every year, as well as 50,000-100,000 illegal ones. There is no indication that Starmer-stein, “Rachel from Accounts” Reeves, or Liz Kendall see any of that as the existential peril for our society that it is.

As for Rachel Reeves’ idea of building millions of hutches for people (many of them migrant-invaders): first of all, who will build those “houses”, in a situation where even poorly-trained artisans are in short supply? Secondly, few will be able to afford to buy or even rent the dwellings. Most will be subsidized. How will that save government money, or much stimulate the general economy?

More pathetic System-drone bs, in other words.

The above half-dozen tweets all relate to the libel action won by the tweeter, James Wilson, an academic from the North East of England, who won against a swamp of dishonest Jew-Zionist lawyers and perjuring or “unreliable” witnesses (every last one a Jew-Zionist).

Simon Myerson was a witness for the defence in that case. Myerson, a barrister based in Leeds, was later sacked as a part-time judge for other reasons, at least officially (his malicious and vituperative tweets and other social media comments). In the case in question here, Myerson’s testimony was given very little, if any, weight by the trial judge.

As for the defendants, one, a vicious pro-Israel social media troll called Pete Newbon, committed suicide before the trial had ended, he having failed to inform his wife that the libel case was happening, and that their family home might be on the line.

Another defendant, one Cantor, was (as it appears) either negligently or, quite likely, deliberately misled by the Jew-Zionist solicitor and Israel-lobby political fanatic Mark Lewis. It seems that Cantor will now lose his family home by reason of Lewis’s default(s), in order to satisfy the court-ordered legal costs of the successful claimant, Wilson. Not that I personally have the slightest sympathy for Cantor or any similar individual.

I do not know, but it seems not unlikely that, the defendants or surviving defendants having now a legal obligation to pay Wilson’s costs (though they are but a fraction of those that would have been claimed by the lawyers of the defendants, had they succeeded at trial), those surviving defendants will almost certainly end up suing Lewis and probably also Patron Law, the mainly Jewish law firm (based in a mews side-street in Notting Hill, West London), which is Lewis’s legal foothold in England (he is now, and has been since 2018, an Israeli citizen supposedly living in Eilat, Israel).

Good grief! Can you imagine that drunken and/or drugged and/or crazed shambles negotiating with Putin, or Zelensky, or Netanyahu?

There really is something wrong with the allegedly “democratic” process, both in the USA and the UK, when some creature like Kamala Harris can become Vice-President, and nearly become President, of the USA. In the UK, look at David Lammy, Angela Rayner, and most of the rest of Starmer-stein’s Cabinet.

Even after the past 15 years of chaotic mismanagement, the government of Starmer-stein is something else…Look at them! “Rachel from Accounts” Reeves, Liz Kendall, Angela Rayner (!), David Lammy (!), Yvette Cooper etc. Starmer-stein himself. What a crowd of cretins!

We cannot afford to be too complacent, though. How long before we get something similar here, sitting in judgment over native Brits? When we look at the Bar, the lower ranks, and some at higher level, are in part already like that…

Good news. I hope the Kazakhs are following suit.

There are some enterprises, some kinds of economic enterprise, that should be in public ownership: water companies, major rail services, large-scale electricity production and distribution, large-scale domestic-use gas production and distribution; some other activities.

Some other things, relating to the State and/or wider society, should also be run by the State itself, or by a quasi-State authority: Royal Mail, prisons, National Lottery; some others as well.

Talking point— a “free speech” thread on Twitter

GB News, looking at its output, is very obviously permeated by “the usual suspects” (((“them”))) and paid puppets.

Also, I only noticed today that reply by what purports to be a Twitter/X account of persecuted satirist and singer-songwriter Alison Chabloz. If so, good to see her back on Twitter/X.

[Alison Chabloz at the piano]

Incidentally, her remark about Lord Hamilton [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archie_Hamilton] relates to this: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/mar/05/conservative-peer-accused-of-using-antisemitic-tropes-in-lords-debate.

What a difference a year makes…

Alert regular readers of the blog may have noted that it is exactly a year (14 March 2024) since I was sentenced as a result of my free speech trial in November 2023.

Amazing. A whole year has elapsed since the sentence, and about 16 months since the trial itself. I repost my accounts of the trial, sentence, and aftermath here below:

I was able to continue blogging right through the process, and am still blogging almost every day, about 25-30 times per month.

As previously explained, I am under no greater legal constraint now than I was in 2024, 2023, 2022 (etc).

I have no doubt that the malicious Jew-Zionist element will continue to try to destroy the freedom of speech and expression not only of me but also of all British and other people. However, one must stand up for free speech and expression.

As far as I am concerned, “one human soul is a big audience“.

Starmer-stein’s Labour Friends of Israel misgovernment.

Let’s hope that Runcorn and Helsby voters send a message to this rotten excuse for a Labour government. Reform can win it if enough disaffected 2024 Lab voters join with 2024 Reform voters and those former Con voters who realize that Con Party has no chance of winning the by-election. Those 2024 Con voters can prevent Labour from winning the by-election if they vote Reform.

We see the war propaganda everywhere, spread by the usual globalist NWO/ZOG puppets— Macron, Starmer, Tusk, Sikorski etc.

The stupid thing is that, without US backing, none of the European states —not even the UK and France as nuclear powers— can stand up to the Russia they keep pushing.

If push came to shove, and if the push and shove went nuclear, as would probably happen, the USA would stand back, as would China, and the terrible devastation would be only be in Europe and Russia, mostly in Europe, because Russia has about 6,500-7,000 nuclear weapons, whereas France has about 290, and the UK about 225 (about 120 deployable by submarine launch).

The French nuclear force was the force de frappe, changed in the 1960s to force de dissuasion. Deterrence, not challenge to the then Soviet Union, an expansionist power with an expansionist and militant ideology —Marxism-Leninism— at least on the surface.

Russia today is not the old Soviet Union, and its ideology is simple and rather inconsistent Russian nationalism, not one of world conquest.

The fact is that, while the UK and France could badly damage much of Russia in a nuclear match, Russia could wipe out the UK, France, and all other European powers.

These games of “poking the bear” are very stupid and quite likely to light the touchpaper of a major war.

[“Russian forces struck UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) assembly and storage sites of the Ukrainian army over the past day in the special military operation in Ukraine, Russia’s Defense Ministry reported: https://vk.cc/cJG55K“— TASS]

Putin appeared, unusually, in a kind of military combat attire, yesterday. Akin to the Zelensky “cosplay”, but with rather more weight behind it.

Trump has put Zelensky in his place. Z. is a “state beggar”, in effect. Without American arms, money, ammunition, intelligence assistance, “Ukraine” (the Kiev regime) cannot continue to fight this war. Trump has therefore been able to railroad the Ukrainian side.

The Kiev regime cabal have little choice, and even their brief show of defiance was based on the hope, a forlorn one, that the UK and EU powers might plug any gap left by the American departure (if it were to happen or continue).

Russia cannot be much pressured by Trump. Therefore, the war will continue unless the Kiev regime at least accepts the minimum reality— that Crimea, and the mainland regions of Donetsk, Lugansk etc (and, a fortiori, that of the Russian oblast of Kursk) will remain Russian in perpetuity. Failing that, the war will continue, and Russian tanks will be in Kiev by 2026.

Russia has its military-logistical problems, but nothing compared to those facing the Kiev-regime side, which is losing hundreds of soldiers daily, and large areas of territory too.

Not so sure about the Churchill bit…

Waitrose was driven into the ground by a West Indian woman whom they employed as CEO. Madness. It used to be such a good place to shop and, I believe, treated its employees well; gave them a modest cut of the profits as well. Now, like the rest of this country, it is going straight down (I refer to, inter alia, Parliament, the courts, the police, the armed forces, the Royal Mail and Post Office, the social security safety net, the monarchy, the countryside…you name it).

A couple of things strike me about that latest opinion poll. Firstly, that the polls are now quite volatile, especially as to whether Labour or Reform is more popular; secondly, that the Conservative Party is pretty much finished now. Few people see it as offering anything to 90% of the population, its policies have now been taken over by fake Labour under Keir Starmer-stein, and it is now not really even seen as relevant. That is so even if you discount the fact that it is now led by a Nigerian woman who was not even living in the UK until she was at least 16.

Incidentally, those opinion poll results would indicate a House of Commons with about 238 Reform UK MPs; 165 Lab; 123 Con; 58 LibDem; SNP 37; Greens 4 (etc).

https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html

So probably a Reform government backed by Con MPs’ votes. Not ideal, but if it failed to satisfy the British people, a real social-national movement (in or out of Parliament) might well emerge.

You see the deficiencies of our FPTP voting system there. Greens on 10% of the popular vote, but with only ~4 MPs, rather than the 65 that the 10% opinion poll would suggest would be fair. Reform, on the other hand, would be overcompensated, getting a notional 238 MPs instead of the mathematically-indicated 175.

[“N.S. Lyons is one of my favourite writers right now: “A nation is not a corporation. A nation is a particular people, with a distinct culture, permanently bound together by shared relationship with place, past, and each other. A house becomes a home through the relationship with the family that lives in it, a connection forged out of time and memory, between the concrete particularity of place and the lives of a specific group of people present, past, and yet unborn. We can say this house is home because it is our home. In much the same way, a country becomes our homeland because it is ours — and the we of that “ours” is the nation, which transcends geography, government, and GDP.”— Matt Goodwin]

Which is why the Jewish element tends to be hostile to anything truly national in Europe.

At present, a ceasefire would only impede the advances of Russian forces on all fronts.

Translates to a Commons with 186 Lab, 177 Reform, 163 Con, 65 LibDem (etc). i.e. a likely Reform-Con coalition, but with Reform in the driving seat.

Runcorn and Helsby by-election

As most readers will be aware, a by-election is upcoming at Runcorn and Helsby, in the part of the North East known to many as “Murkyside” (Merseyside). The New Statesman analysis seems to cover the ground: https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/2025/03/a-reform-labour-showdown-looms-in-the-runcorn-by-election.

The former MP, unimpressive Labourite drone Mike Amesbury, stepped down a few days ago, having been convicted of common assault and sentenced to 10 weeks in prison. He had drunkenly assaulted a complaining constituent in the street one evening.

The sentencing judge (district judge/magistrate) expressly refused bail pending appeal, so Amesbury was hauled off to prison briefly before, a couple of days later, having his bail application and appeal very expeditiously heard, his sentence then having been suspended. He does, however, have to do 200 hours of unpaid work; the imprisonment, unpleasant though it would be, might have been less onerous; also, the “10 weeks” would actually have been only 4 weeks long. Still, few would choose the imprisonment (given that choice).

Amesbury, to give him his due, could have simply put one or two fingers up to Labour (which has suspended him) and society, and carried on as an independent MP for the next 4 or so years (though a recall petition might have forced him out later this year). Instead, he decided to step down. I have to admit that I would not have done so, were I in his place.

Amesbury has at least one other thing in his favour— he supports proportional representation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Amesbury.

As to the by-election, Labour won easily in 2024, but that was then; its 52.9% of the vote is not going to be replicated in the by-election. In the opinion polls about the by-election, Labour is only a point or two ahead of Reform UK (in the 30%-33% zone), with the Conservative Party on 20%, a few points higher than in 2024 (perhaps surprisingly).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runcorn_and_Helsby_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s

The “experts” mostly think Labour will win the by-election, though the bookmakers (often unreliable guides in political betting) think Reform has the better chance.

My own view is that only dummies would vote “Labour” (aka Labour Friends of Israel Con-lite) now, after the disastrous past 8 months. Still, there are plenty of dummies out there…

The Conservative Party only scored 16% in 2024, and has no real chance in the by-election, so if Con voters want to stick it to Labour and Starmer-stein, then the obvious thing to do is to vote Reform. As I said, though, the UK is not short of dummies. Time and again we see voters march out to vote for parties that have no chance in a given seat.

Reform itself has been damaged by the recent infighting, perhaps, but the anger and frustration of many voters should not be underestimated. People wanted rid of the 14 years of “Conservative” misrule, only to find that, by reason of a semi-rigged FPTP electoral system, they are now misgoverned by a “Labour” regime even worse (and even less compassionate) than its Con predecessors.

On that basis, I think that Reform has a good chance, a very good chance.

https://www.mattgoodwin.org/p/bombshell-stats-the-state-doesnt

Well worth reading.

My reading of that opinion poll is that the voters are unimpressed by all existing political parties. There is a vacuum at present. Reform UK was leaping ahead; it has now stalled. It too much tries to be “reasonable” and “moderate”.

If voters want “centrist” bs and lies, they can vote LibLabCon. Why would they vote Reform? Reform’s leaders are too much focussed on “small boats” etc. Not that that is not a major issue, but “legal” immigration is 20x “illegal”. Yes, 1,000 or even 2,000 migrant-invaders hit the beaches daily now but, on the same day(s), 20,000 or even 40,000 arrive superficially “legally”.

Also, some of the main figures in and around Reform UK are non-whites. That’s no good, and sends a mixed message.

Either Reform UK goes social-national or it will go the same way as both UKIP and Brexit Party. “Conservatism-plus” is not a vote-winner.

Incidentally, that latest opinion poll translates, via Electoral Calculus, into a Commons with 188 Lab seats, 174 Con, 155 Reform, 68 LibDem (Greens 4, SNP 35 etc). Hopelessly hung Parliament, so maybe a Reform/Con coalition.

I cannot imagine who would be silly enough to retain Lewis. He himself admitted in his 2018 Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal proceedings that, at times, he had had no idea what he was writing or doing (by reason, it was claimed, of prescription drug use)! He was actually or effectively sacked by, I believe, all the firms for which he worked, and at the said Tribunal, in 2018, his own Counsel told the disciplinary panel that Lewis should not be fined too heavily (for making many crazed attacks on social media) because his sole assets were his (cheapish, showy) clothes, a mobility scooter, and a private pension worth £70 a week!

Thoughts about Reform UK— where does it go from here?

Reform UK peaked (at least so far) recently at about 28% in the opinion polls; the latest shows Reform around 25%. Not bad, all the same, when the Cons are around 21% and Labour between 25% and 28%. What now, though?

We have been here, more or less, before, with Brexit Party. That deflated for various reasons, not least because voters saw it, not wrongly, as a kind of (real?) Conservative Party. Arguable either way. Farage then stabbed his party in the back so that “Boris”-idiot’s Con Party could “win” the 2019 General Election.

This time around, I think that Farage at least, and maybe the other 4 Reform MPs, want to succeed. After all, they have every chance now that the fake Labour (Friends of Israel) Government is proving even less popular than it was when elected (by the votes of only 4 out of every 20 eligible voters, and out of every 12 actual voters).

At present, we do not have a Labour government, but a Labour Friends of Israel government.

The Conservative Party, equally fake, is still only around 21% in the polls, and few see it as having much chance under the Nigerian woman.

Reform has now hit a reef. Rupert Lowe has been binned, and so will stay on as only an independent MP, unless he either re-enters Reform, defects to the Con Party, or steps down (thus precipitating a by-election).

Reform is a System party in embryonic or fledgling form. Not social-national. However, it has (still) the potential to raise awareness among the people, to shift the “Overton Window”, thus facilitating social national organizations, including political parties, to rise up.

The System would like to revert to the old tweedledum/tweedledee Lab/Con binary (with LibDems as the “alternative” System “dustbin” in the middle). Failing that, to turn Reform into a kind of deeper blue Con Party.

Which way will Reform go?

It has to go for more social-national policies. I see that Matt Goodwin, arguably Reform’s best propagandist (though he may or may not be a member) is now saying that the State should not support the unemployed, sick, disabled etc (so much). This is a rehash of not only the failed and nasty policies of Dunce Duncan Smith, the Jew “lord” Freud etc (2010-2015) but also those being put forward by both Con and Lab at present. Beggar the pensioners, the sick, the disabled, the unemployed, so that money can be thrown at the Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev, or wasted on more useless “defence” spending, or wasted aiding the Jew-Zionist regime in “Israel”/Occupied Palestine.

Reform UK needs to go outside its comfort zone of discontented former Con voters. 8 out of every 20 eligible voters did not vote. Go for their votes.

At present, Reform seems to have a ceiling of 30% support. It needs to nail down some of the truly disenchanted votes. If it can reach 30%, then stretch to 35% by the time of the next general election, it can change British politics forever, and then, if it fades, usher in a truly social-national movement.

Also, the present disunity repels voters. In unity is strength.

If it can weather the storms, Reform can form the next government, but it needs to present an attractive and, above all, powerful image. If it cannot, then the whole thing may just fall to pieces.

Whatever happens with Reform, though, social nationalism is starting to get moving, under the surface of events.

So about 9%-10% of prisoners in UK prisons are foreign.

Further to that, if you took out all non-white and non-Brit prisoners, inc. those born here, the prisons would not even be half-full. Fact. That despite the fact that non-whites are still a minority (about 20%) of the whole UK population.

I have not been a barrister for a number of years, but even 30 years ago, the proportion of non-whites in UK prisons (and defendants in English courts) was huge.

This is a Labour Friends of Israel government, not a Labour government. Note how fake “Labour” is saying more or less the same as “Conservative” parrots such as Chris Philp, and even Reform UK publicist (by any other name), Matt Goodwin.

There is a general push, again, towards finance-capitalist police-state dystopia in the UK, towards lower living standards, lower pay, lower State benefits and pensions, and towards the replacement of British people by the blacks, browns, and others. Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan.

Increasingly, I can agree with the idea of England, or England & Wales, becoming a separate republic. Let those north of Hadrian’s Wall, and those across the Irish Sea, go their own way (without the subsidy from England), particularly as many of the Scots seem, in their delusion, to not only be willing to accept migration-invasion by blacks and browns but even (ludicrously) to welcome it! I certainly see little or no serious Scottish opposition to the invasion, even at the low level of opposition so far seen on the streets of England.

Ha ha. For decades, certainly since Blair became Prime Minister in 1997, the UK has been the poodle of the ZOG/NWO American governments. Now, suddenly, the USA is going its own way, in a direction NWO/ZOG, at least in Europe, does not like. Suddenly, Europe, both EU and UK etc, finds itself almost powerless, and squashed (as was mainland Europe in 1945) between the (?) all-powerful USA and a somewhat powerful Russia.

I should like Europe to find its own way forward in a social-national way, independent of both USA and Russia (but closer to the latter) but, at present, Europe is under ZOG control— pro-Jewish Lobby, pro-Israel, pro the Jew-Zionist regime in “Ukraine”. The present European power structures have to be taken down before a better Europe (call it “Christendom” or “Grail Europe” if you like) can arise.

Charles Tatham Ogilvy Rennie was later adjudged bankrupt (discharged in 1978).

Goodwin should note that the kind of online and offline censorship seen in the UK is not only, or even primarily, a matter of the State itself censoring, but the State enabling, mainly, the Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby to destroy free speech by inciting or demanding State repression, and also by being enabled to bring malicious private prosecutions, the Jewish so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] being the most prominent of the nuisances involved in such abuse of English law.

Victory cannot be proclaimed until tanks roll into Kiev.

I have never seen such an undiplomatic encounter at such a meeting; any “robust exchanges of views” usually take place away from TV cameras and journalists.

It did occur to me that Trump wanted an argument with Zelensky, as a figleaf for not continuing with the supply of arms, ammunition, and money to the doomed Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev. Having said that, Zelensky is the sort of (((you know who))) who can start an argument in an empty room.

That of course would entail, in the UK, stupid Starmer and “Rachel from Accounts and Customer Relations” Reeves stealing even more from BRITISH pensioners, British young people, British taxpayers generally, and cutting to the bone (to an even greater extent) services such as social security, NHS etc.

Even more significantly, pitting EU/UK Europe against the Russian Federation, militarily, and without even the American nuclear backstop, might mean the nuclear devastation of western and central Europe.

[George Buchanan (1506-1582); https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Buchanan]

George Buchanan (Scottish Gaelic: Seòras Bochanan; February 1506 – 28 September 1582) was a Scottish historian and humanist scholar. According to historian Keith Brown, Buchanan was “the most profound intellectual sixteenth century Scotland produced.” His ideology of resistance to royal usurpation gained widespread acceptance during the Scottish Reformation. Brown says the ease with which King James VII was deposed in 1689 shows the power of Buchananite ideas.[1]

His treatise De Jure Regni apud Scotos, published in 1579, discussed the doctrine that the source of all political power is the people, and that the king is bound by those conditions under which the supreme power was first committed to his hands, and that it is lawful to resist, even to punish, tyrants. The importance of Buchanan’s writings is shown by the suppression of his work by James VI and the British legislatures in the century following their publication. It was condemned by act of parliament in 1584, and burned by the University of Oxford in 1664 and 1683.[2]

It looks increasingly likely that Russian tanks will be at the gates of Kiev before very long, probably in 2026 if not later in 2025.

It is actually laughable that “little Britons” such as Dan Hodges, among many, think in terms of the supposed importance of royal invitations etc, and how “crushing” to such as Trump (and, notionally, Putin etc) being disinvited to some visit or meeting must be. They really are living in a little parochial Westminster Bubble. I love the (now long-defunct) British Empire, but that was then. The world has now moved to a different place.

Dan Hodges, Rory Stewart, all that type, think that the UK can “take a stand” against Trump (and the USA), after having been “America’s poodle” for at least 35 years if not 85 years.

I suppose I can concede that there is an unmistakeable whiff of The Beverly Hillbillies about the Trump White House. Not so much Trump himself, but some of the entourage.

A long way from the sophistication of the Kennedy years of “American Camelot”…

The main thing, though, is that the international agenda, and indeed the post-1945 international order, is being reset. Britain is not involved, not as a player. It is, at most, an object, as are the other western and central European states.

This is the down-the-line result of Europe’s defeat in the Second World War. Europe was defeated, in big-picture terms, by western oligarchy (the USA) and eastern despotism (the Soviet Union), mainly. The UK started to be a vassal-state of the USA.

Now, the USA finds that it does not really need the UK even as “America’s unsinkable aircraft carrier” as someone (F.D. Roosevelt?) once called it. Result? Vassal-state UK has been dismissed by Trump’s USA, as has Starmer.
