Works out as Reform UK 365 MPs, Labour 110, LibDems 69, SNP 36, Cons 35, Greens 7 (etc).
Look at the news in the above two tweets. Both show how very badly the UK is being run.
I think that that poster is already out of date. Maybe by 2050 rather than 2066.
Been there, said that (on the blog, a few days ago)…
“What goes around comes around“.
“Their” time will come. Israel is doomed. Those who have facilitated the Jew-Zionist-Israel brutality amounting to genocide will be punished, wherever they may be.
Whether it be labelled “genocide” or not, the behaviour of the Israeli Jews in Gaza (and, by extension, the behaviour of those that support the same from countries such as the UK) has been appalling, particularly over the past nearly 2 years.
As (for the past 2 years) a State Pension recipient myself (albeit that mine is cut back severely because of years spent overseas), I appreciate the Triple Lock…
The lady tweeter there, one Fiona-Natasha Syms, who thinks that State Pension increases —at least— should be reduced is the ex-wife of a former Conservative Party MP who lost his seat in 2024. She was once employed by her then husband via his MP expenses.
The said lady appears to have a house in the country as well as one in London, and heads (if that is the word, i.e. if assuming that there exist actual supporters) an organization (which may exist only in her own head) called “Moderates” or “#Moderates”, the policy of which seems to be some odd conflation of pro-immigration madness and David Cameron-Levita supposed “competence” and “compassion” (I have to say I did not see much of that as Cameron demonized the British sick, disabled and unemployed, and blamed them for the UK’s financial problems).
If the lady tweeter in question thinks that removing the Triple Lock is a vote-winner, she is very much mistaken. Sunak’s one-year removal of it probably put paid to his chances of success in 2024; now, Kemi Carpetbagger seems to be wavering, but she is washed-up anyway.
The first political party in government to remove the Triple Lock will lose the pensioner vote, or 90%+ of it, at once and forever. The bloc of those over 55 years of age (so pensioners plus those within about a decade of becoming pensioners) comprises at least 40% of all voters, and over 50% in quite a few marginal seats.
That, also is a voting bloc which, by and large, does vote, whereas younger voters, esp. twenty-somethings, tend not to bother. The 40% and 50% figures just given are therefore, and on the ground, more like 50% and 60%. Any party or made-up party (such as that lady’s “Moderates”) ignores the realities at its peril.
The lady tweeter and her imaginary “Moderates” prefer to imagine throwing money at largely-parasitic non-European immigrants, or at the equally-parasitic Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev, rather than on supporting the lives of the older Brit population. I call that “madness“.

In any case, a flight would have no more than a couple of hundred passengers. 1,000-2,000 migrant-invaders are coming in, illegally, every single day. Another (?)5,000+ are entering “legally”. Then we have births to non-Europeans resident here, and births to white women impregnated by non-whites. Terminal, unless stopped.
Evening tweets
Whatever happens in the short-term, Israel is doomed.

Plaid Cymru, though useless, is a default vote. Reform may be seen as an “English” party, but I do not know if that matters. After all, a fairly high proportion of the inhabitants of Wales are English anyway. About 11%.
Reform’s finance-capitalist bias may also deter potential Welsh voters.
Still, Reform and Plaid are effectively on the same level of support now; Reform may even be ahead, bearing margin of error in polling.
Labour 14%…at one time, and not so long ago, Labour was the only game in town (in Wales). That was then. There were still coal mines, steelworks etc widespread in South Wales even 40-50 years ago. Now— nothing very much.
As for the Conservative Party, never very strong in Wales, not for the past 80+ years, they are just finished now.
I saw that you can get about 5/1 on Betfair Politics about Kemi Badenoch being replaced in 2025. I think that is a value bet. The odds about her being replaced in 2026 are odds-on, just below even money. She is toast, but the question is when.
On the face of it, remarkable for Reform, but this is really a “nein danke!” for both Lab and Con.
A sinister tribe.
A very sinister tribe.
Jesus H. Christ! What a total crazie!
If this is what (fake) “democracy” provides by way of MPs, then give me (social-national) dictatorship every time…
Incidentally, this seems to be her: Llinos Medi, a previously unemployed divorced mother of two, before that an egg-seller, teaching assistant and care worker. Completely uneducated. Says that her priorities are “the economy, health and wellbeing of the citizens of North Wales.” [Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Llinos_Medi] (and so she proposes importing thousands if not millions of Afghans…).
I would have said that the woman is just a crazy bad joke, but such people are actually dangerous in their positions, and their influence via mainstream platforms.
Fortunately, she will be chucked out at the next general election.

[“In the last 10 days, I’ve spoken to people in Birmingham, Eastleigh, Bognor Regis, Bexley, Wearside, Southend, & Halifax. I am telling you Westminster has no idea what’s coming. The hardworking, tax-paying, law-abiding, forgotten majority has had enough of what is happening to their country. I’ve never felt energy like this. It’s bigger than Brexit.“]
I think so. The point being that it is not even a matter of how incomplete or arguably flawed are the policies (or personalities) of Reform UK. This is the less-violent (so far) Brit equivalent of burning down parliaments and palaces, or setting up guillotines at Westminster. It is a movement against the old parties more than one that is pro-Reform, let alone pro-Farage as a kind of underwhelming “Fuhrer”-second-time-around.
