[“I firmly believe the UK is now hurtling toward a major political earthquake. Look at the numbers in the latest polling, compared to the general election last year. Amid the worst cost-of-living crisis since the Second World War, soaring and uncontrolled immigration, deteriorating public services, a glaring lack of social integration, and a succession of scandals that have rocked the Labour government, from the rape gangs to Freebiegate, voters are now on the move. Compared to the 2024 general election, Keir Starmer and Labour are down more than 10-points on just 24%. Kemi Badenoch and the Tories are down 2-points on just 22%, showing no sign of recovery. And the Liberal Democrats are up 1-point, averaging just 13.6%. But now look at Reform. As we’ve been predicting and analysing in our newsletter for two years (showing why people are voting Reform and the areas where it is building strength), Reform is now up 11-points to 25%. And that’s not all. As I explain below, Reform is now hitting both the Tories but especially Labour in unique and powerful ways, looking set for a major breakthrough as it inherits the post-Brexit realignment.”]
Yes, but Reform can only be a transitional party, existing in the space between the existing System parties and a social nationalist movement which, as yet, does not exist.
The next big test will be the Runcorn and Helsby by-election. 9 days from today. Those voters could make history. Will they?

“We” are not imposing anything. It has been imposed on us by the System parties, and mainly at the behest of the Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby…but don’t expect Goodwin to say anything about that…
I find it odd that UK authorities are throwing people into jail for voicing anti-immigration views on social media while seemingly not doing anything at all about trans extremists holding signs calling for the murder of women.

In rough terms, at the 2024 General Election, Reform scored about 2 votes out of every 12 cast. Labour got 4 out of every 12, the Con Party 3 out of every 12. In fact, 8 out of every 20 eligible did not even vote, so Labour was endorsed by only 4 out of 20.
About half of those Labour votes were cast by people who now realize that Starmer-stein lied to them about almost everything. That is why Labour (supported mainly by non-white voters) is now around the same level as Reform UK.
The unfair FPTP electoral system gives the false impression that only a tiny fringe supported Reform at GE 2024; in fact it was over 14%, and the Conservative Party, with all its money and history (and in government until the General Election) only scored 23%.

We should all take a deep breath before we accept that Farage will be picking out new curtains in Downing Street after the next general election
Widespread and angry political dissent is not going to go away even if Reform does. Popular discontent will simply find another channel to flow down. Another party, or a new movement of some kind, perhaps a social-national movement which goes beyond being simply a political party.

What’s wrong with the other 53%? Actually, the “53%” is nearer to 33% or even lower, because at least 20% of the whole population is now non-European and their votes should not be taken into account in such a poll.
A good majority of white (i.e. British) people are now firmly hostile to immigration.

[Great Patriotic War memorial, Panfilov Park, Almaty, Kazakhstan. In the Autumn and Winter of 1996, and the Spring of 1997, I lived on Prospekt Lenina, about 10 minutes’ walk from there (I moved to another address later). A striking example of public statuary]
[Philby on a 5-kopeck late-Soviet commemorative postage stamp, and described as “Soviet Razvedchik“, a term which might be translated as “intelligencer”, rather than the grubbier-sounding “spy” (in Russian, “shpion”); “razvedchik” is a more polite or dignified term]
“Secret surveillance of Britain’s notorious double agent, Kim Philby, made public for the first time in archived documents, reveals how keenly the Security Service wanted to confirm or disprove early suspicions of his high-level treachery.
In daily bulletins submitted to MI5 in November 1951, undercover operatives describe how Philby, codenamed Peach, moved about London.
They said he gave “no outward sign of being either nervous or on the alert, but your well trained man should not do so; every movement is natural – again as it should be”
[Guardian]
The whole Philby thing has always been hugely overblown. Philby himself has been over-rated, too. Superficially well-educated, yes, but really a rather dogmatic Marxist-Leninist who, under other formative circumstances, might have been like some of the other basically mediocre professional-level bourgeois Englishmen I have met in my life, and who were not in secret-intelligence work but, variously, Roman Catholic converts, and/or military officers or barristers or other activity.
Philby was certainly no great mind, though he evidently thought himself very clever. Likewise, he was a bit of a plodder ideologically.
I recall that Philby wrote in his supposed memoirs (possibly part-ghosted by KGB helpers), My Silent War, or elsewhere, that “you choose your side and stick with it“, i.e. rather as others do to the Labour or Conservative parties, or to (the contemporary British obsession) football clubs. Unthinking loyalty. Stick-in-the-mud loyalty.
The puffing of Philby as the “masterspy”, or even “spymaster”, suited both sides in the Cold War: the Soviet side getting the gloss of having not only suborned Philby and other “Establishment” Englishmen to the Marxist/Soviet cause, but also having outplayed Western intelligence agencies in the spy game.
As for the British part of the Western side, Philby’s prominence could be presented as an example of why pervasive “security” (and the whole Cold War stance) was necessary. Also, his supposed “brilliance” in a way bolstered the reputation of institutions such as the more expensive English schools (Philby was at Westminster School) and, of course, the supposedly elite universities, in particular Cambridge.
The whole “Cambridge spies” story tends to puff the reputation of SIS and MI5 (despite their having been outplayed) by making their role seem terribly important. One scribbler even penned a well-known book called Philby— The Spy Who Betrayed A Generation, as if the Cambridge Spies were pretty much the centrepiece of British history since the 1930s, rather than an obscure footnote to it.
In the 1930s (when Philby started to work for Soviet organizations), there was (in the first half of the decade) the Great Depression, and the initial triumph of National Socialism in Germany. In the middle of the 1930s to 1939, the Spanish Civil War, while in Britain itself, the economy was recovering and society changing .
Then, in the early/mid 1940s, there was the titanic Second World War (in the Soviet Union, the Great Patriotic War).
In Britain, after 1945, there were the great social changes of the 1950s and 1960s. By that time, the “Cambridge Spies” were mostly not even in the UK. Maclean and Burgess had fled in 1951, and Philby was in journalistic exile in the Middle East. The economic and social changes in the UK were the main events, together with the start of the disastrous migration-invasion of non-whites into the UK, and Britain’s retreat from Empire.
The “Cambridge Spies” were not even footnotes to much of that. Near-irrelevant, despite the obsessions of the Westminster Bubblers and newspaper scribblers.
What damaged Britain in the 1940s through to the 1960s, and then on to today, was not a few spies passing on information to the Soviet Union, but the abandonment of Empire, the importation of blacks and browns in vast numbers, the cultural decadence etc.
You often see Philby and his fellow Cambridge spies described as “upper-class” or even “aristocratic”. In fact, not one was of “aristocratic” background, though all (except Cairncross) were affluent or wealthy. Philby’s own father was from an affluent government-connected family [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_John_Philby] but a fact generally ignored or covered-up is that Philby’s mother, Dora, was half-Indian, a so-called “chi-chi” (pron. “shi-shi”), which may have subtly affected his loyalties.
General Kalugin, in his memoirs, describes how his superiors had the idea of using Philby, then in Moscow, as a kind of lure for potential agents in the West, by showing that he was respected, had a good life etc. His first meeting with the shambling drunken Philby makes a memorable picture.
Incidentally, Philby never learned to speak or read Russian beyond a rudimentary level, and had English-language books supplied to him via the KGB (presumably via people at the London embassy, and the diplomatic bag).
In the early 1990s, sometime around 1994, I was slightly acquainted with a Russian businessman living in London, and with an office in Regent Street, who had some legal business (I was a barrister at the time). We had lunch at least once at my Inn (of Court), Lincoln’s Inn. I recall that the Spanish waitress was very taken with “Ed” [Edvard] and his rather Scandinavian looks (he was from the Baltic regions) and even asked me later if I might effect an introduction for her (that never happened).
“Ed” was quite open about the fact that, prior to his taking to capitalist business activity, he had been in the KGB, though that would only have been, at a guess, for a relatively few years. He recalled having been at a lecture or two given by Philby in Moscow (he said that that had been at the Lubyanka).
Incidentally, those comments in the Guardian from the MI5 surveillance directorate in 1951 do tend to beg the question; after all, if a surveillance target is acting naturally, then either he is not guilty, or is literally acting (and/or has been trained to act) naturally, so in fact may be guilty. If, though, the target looks nervous, looks for reflections in shop windows etc, does that mean that he is guilty, or is he just a nervous wreck and/or afraid of being thought guilty? Wilderness of mirrors.

A new MP for Runcorn? Bring on Reform, say disillusioned voters | Reform UK | The Guardian https://t.co/EgBKUoNgaE
I should imagine that even Labour-inclined voters will be voting Reform UK (or staying home) at the Runcorn and Helsby by-election, in order to send a message (and/or a kick) to this horrifyingly callous and irredeemably incompetent misgovernment.
As to Conservative Party loyalists in the area, I should say that the Cons have no chance— so vote Reform in order to stick it to fake Labour.
From “tepid bath of managed decline” (really offensive) to blood bath. On top of 30,000 NHS England jobs. We are the party of work, it’s in our name, says Starmer! I don’t think you are. What a disgrace and totally counterproductive in an already struggling economy. https://t.co/HNL1ZdmhUP
“Given that there is a lot of talk about changes to special educational needs provision and reform plans for the NHS, we should worry about what the government might focus on next. Equally alarming, it seems to me, is a belief in Downing Street that reviving the UK demands embracing the wonders of artificial intelligence, which Keir Starmer believes will have an almost magical effect on everything from social work to education, and realise his new dream of “totally rewiring government”. Because this is an administration so lacking in everyday humanity, that is a much more scary prospect than he and his colleagues seem to realise.“
[John Harris in The Guardian]
I should not be surprised to find (if I am still around) that, somewhere down the line, in 5+ years’ time, the members of the present Cabinet will find themselves up against a wall.
A super piece. I simply don't take Kemi Badenoch seriously. She will never be Prime Minister. I rate her 1/10. Keir Starmer, who I rate 3/10, surely can't believe his luck. Even so, tangentially, I increasingly wonder how much longer Starmer is PM? He'll be gone well before 2029.

So Russian forces are in Sumy Oblast now. There seem to be Russian advances in all material parts of the overall front. Kiev-regime forces are falling back.
I don't think people properly understand the extent to which Labour is now the party of the rich. In 1997 the Tories led Labour by 10 points amongst the most affluent AB social class. But Labour led the Tories by 23 points amongst C2s, and 38 points amongst DEs. In 2024 Labour…
Why do many think it impossible that “the lion will lie down with the lamb” in a future age? All things are possible.

Mark Lewis and Daniel Berke were the main solicitors for the defendants, Beth Grossman of Doughty Street Chambers was the barrister (possibly the only barrister; I do not know, and only heard of her recently, via Wilson’s Twitter/X account and Substack blog).

Runcorn and Helsby, constituency voting intention:
Reform lead of 9 points in Runcorn ought to be 3 pts – it doesn't matter: the direction of traffic between now and polling day is one way https://t.co/DlPLJ2Lo5K
Rentoul obviously thinks that Reform will win the by-election. I should say the same. After all, look at the disaster that is the Starmer-stein government of cretins. “Rachel from Accounts” Reeves, thick and uneducated Angela Rayner, would-be dictator Yvette Cooper, idiotic moneygrubber Liz Kendall, thick Pakistani Shabana Mahmood and, to top it all off, thick-as-two-short-planks David Lammy! (see below)
Putin and Lavrov must laugh their heads off at that idiot (and the rest). Worse even than “Boris”-idiot, Liz Truss etc.
In fact, the surprise in the by-election opinion polling is that almost a third of people in that constituency still intend to vote “Labour” (Labour-label), even though there is nothing, in the present government, of real Labour at all. Just look at what they have done in the past 7+ months, and what they are planning to do. Even 2010-2024 “Conservative” governments were no worse.
I think that I may stick out my neck and predict that the by-election result will probably be 40%-45% Reform, 25%-30% Labour, 10% Conservative, 5% Green, 5% LibDem. Something like that.
True, a date has yet to be set for the by-election, and the mood may change a little, but not in essence (I think).
The Reform candidate will be under intense scrutiny; the System parties will be doing everything they can to discredit that candidate, and dig up damaging material about him (or her, though I would expect the candidate to be a man, in all likelihood). He (or she) had better be squeaky-clean.
It occurs to me that Reform may select Matt Goodwin. It would be a triumphant entry into direct front-line politics for him, and I note how Reform-loyalist his tweets now are.
I may be wrong, but I should not be surprised to see Matt Goodwin emerge, eventually, as leader of Reform. If he can win a Commons seat between now and the next UK General Election, that might see Goodwin actually become Prime Minister. Stranger things have happened.
As a matter of fact, the shorter the time between selection of a Reform candidate and polling day the better, thus giving Labour backroom spinners less time in which to dig up or contrive anything discreditable…
“Lynne Bennett, 70, voted Labour in July, but this time, she said she would vote Reform, adding: “A lot of our family is going to do the same.”

Any former Con voters still thinking of voting Con at the by-election would have to be utterly brainless.

Mark Lewis is just incredible.
What Lewis said: – analytics will be provided as soon as received – his client has nothing to hide
Reality: – Lewis received analytics 6 months before this email – he hid those analytics from the judge and me
That photo, like others recently posted, is a decade or more out of date. Lewis, now an Israeli citizen supposedly resident in Eilat, Israel, is a shambling wreck in 2025, both physically and mentally.

Readers wishing further detail should use the blog search box: “Mark Lewis”, James Wilson” etc.
Lewis, reprimanded and fined by the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal in 2018 for his malicious and nasty social media activities, fled to Israel, but maintains a legal foothold in England by reason of his nominal partnership in the small and mainly Jewish law firm known as Patron Law, based in a mews side-street in Notting Hill, West London.
As to one of Lewis’s two now-dissolved marriages, to one-time minor British radio and TV newsreader, Caroline Feraday, that fell apart after a year, in or about 2013 . She initially joined in his Twitter abuse of me, but now (having been financially and physically abused etc by Lewis), is washed-up, “fat and fifty”, and a single mother (Lewis was not the father), living in a small house in a “Nowheresville” Californian scrubland suburb, and working for a local radio station out there. #TenGreenBottles…
Incidentally, Caroline Feraday’s Wikipedia entry (heavily edited by herself) has more holes than a Swiss cheese (and Lewis is not even mentioned in it…).
As James Wilson notes, Lewis should have been struck off the solicitors’ roll years ago. That would only happen, though, if someone such as Wilson were to make an official complaint…
“Celebrity lawyer” whose only assets in 2018 were, according to his own defence Counsel at the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal, his clothes, a mobility scooter, and a £70 a week private pension. Even his car was being provided for him via the DWP Motability scheme (funded by all those “antisemitic” British taxpayers).
Actually, he did, it seems, also own a flat in Israel at the time, but he seems to have concealed that fact from the Tribunal and, presumably, also from his own Counsel. Dishonest. Unfit.
What worries me is that if Mark Lewis knowingly tried to mislead the court in my case, what about other cases?
Has Lewis won other cases by basically cheating for his clients?
Unless Wilson complains to the SRA, that is not going to happen. Perhaps, though, he will make formal complaint.

If Tories now cheer disability cuts, foreign aid cuts and cutting thousands of jobs they themselves created in the NHS then they have lost their minds. The list of reasons to leave them endless. Unrecognisable as a party from the Cameron years. A clever and morally solid ON…
That lady, the ex-wife of an ex-MP (Con), seems to have forgotten the terrible cruelty of the David Cameron-Levita/George Osborne years, 2010-2015, when nasty little jumped-up types such as part-Japanese Iain Dunce Duncan Smith, and the part-Jew “Lord” David Freud, caused such misery, pain, and death to the unemployed, sick, and disabled.
Starmer-stein “Labour”, though, seems to be diving even deeper into the abyss than did the “Conservatives” from 2010-2024 and especially 2010-2015.
The Conservative Party, now “led” (astray?) by a Nigerian woman chancer, is destined to disappear, I think. It now seems to have no natural constituency among the public (even the elderly are abandoning it), and its place in the political matrix seems to be based mainly on the fact that it has been there for nearly 200 years. No obvious “offer” to the people or, in particular, the voters.
Mass deportations should be the default position of any self-respecting country.
Aiming to remove all illegal migrants from our country is in no way controversial. And actually, a large majority of Brits agree with me.
I would go much further than that. For one thing, illegal migrant-invaders are only about a twentieth of the current migration invasion, perhaps less. Also, there are, shall I say, other groups that should not exist in the UK.
If it had been, say, a White English woman who posted satirical parody songs on her own website…@SpeechUnion's selective defence / condemnation and ensuing promotion of these, imo, more trivial cases is a sad reflection of what passes for 'conservatism' in today's Britain.
The Toby Young fake “Free Speech Union” grift-org was penetrated and permeated by the (((you-know-who))) element right from the start. It never said a word in support of a woman who posted amusing satirical songs, mainly about Jews (Alison Chabloz, imprisoned for the same), or in support of a man who gave a speech in Whitehall (Jez Turner, imprisoned for that), or a man who distributed stickers which even the Prosecution at his trial conceded were “not unlawful” (Sam Melia of Patriotic Alternative, imprisoned for that), or a man who ran an Internet “radio” podcast show (Sven Longshanks/James Allchurch, imprisoned for that), or a man who was disbarred for having tweeted 5 tweets, all absolutely true in their content (that was me), or a man convicted of having posted 5 supposedly partly “grossly offensive” blog posts, out of about two thousand (me, again— fined over £700 and forced to attend half a dozen or so pointless meetings with a Probation Service person, though she was very polite and rather charming, so be it).
How about making it a “priority”, and indeed a given, to have only real British people in Parliament?

I do not think that she was even working as a lawyer of any sort between then (2008) and when she was elected as MP in 2010. So, at best, two years, and as the most junior of lawyers…

On the other hand, my own parents used to let me travel into Sydney from where we lived (Mosman/Cremorne) from age 10 or 11 (1967 and the succeeding 2 years) and, when I was aged 12/13, were letting me travel alone by Greyhound bus to Miami, and also walk alone around Acapulco and other places. Perhaps parents and other people now are less secure, more frightened (like society generally).

Watched a recent TV drama or thriller called The Au Pair the other day. Set mainly in the Cotswolds, though filmed in Ireland, it was quite good, and had an interesting twist in the plot near the end of the four 1-hour episodes, but —irritatingly— the makers felt the need to shoehorn some West Indians into the story (set in one of the least “diverse” parts of England!); the garden party scene was even more absurd (and even less credible). This country is just so ****** now. Made so, actually, by ill-intentioned individuals and groups.

The European Union entered into a confrontation with Russia at the behest of the United States, to the detriment of its personal interests, which are paid for from the wallets of its taxpayers, the Kremlin spokesman said, noting that the consequences of such a confrontation will take a long time to resolve.”

“Until I started this account, I would never have believed that foreigners were responsible for so many rapes, the stats are well hidden, an Asylum Seeker or Immigrant issued a passport and then arrested, will be recorded on crime stats as British and they’re under no obligation to give there religion or ethnicity.
This is why I’ve had to collect all the data manually, the only organisation that actually has it, is exempt from FOI requests @NCA_UK .
I hate to sound like a conspiracy theorist but I believe the true figures are hidden from us on purpose.
Emrah Demirci, of Windmill Road, Cheshunt, was put behind bars after appearing at St Albans Crown Court today (Friday, April 14).”
Officially, there are about 11,000 “foreign” convicts in English prisons (i.e. in England and Wales), but if you include the ones who are really foreign but who hold UK passports, the figure is probably nearer to 30,000, maybe more. If you include all non-whites in UK prisons, that figure would rise to about 50,000, probably more.
Elimination or deportation of all non-Brit (non-real-Brit) prisoners would therefore free up about half of all the spaces in the prisons.
This has been the situation for many many years. Even when I was a Bar pupil nearly 35 years ago, most crime, the vast majority, in the London area, was being committed by non-whites, judging by the defendants seen in (and defended in) the London magistrates’ courts and Crown Courts.

Whatever happens in the next few months, in the longer run Israel is doomed. The demographics of the region, and the advance in technology meaning that surrounding states become more powerful in terms of rockets etc (including possible atomic “suitcase bombs”), must mean that Israel as a state cannot survive.

“Ed Miliband’s flagship wind farm has already been paid nearly £2.5m to keep its turbines switched off. Renewable Energy Foundation figures show 62% of Viking’s output has had to be discarded in its first month.”https://t.co/GGLOT4BghR
The only major use I can see for wind turbines is as a reserve power source to keep the main services of the society running in situations of emergency.
Just shows you David how many people are on the same wavelength! We need to stick together now, in the end all will be well, think positive!
I find it strange that we live in a time where people can equip themselves with information so easily and yet there seems to be more tyranny than ever.
It’s odd that more people haven’t woken up to what’s being done to them.
Perhaps the crippling budget will be the spark which…
Most people have the ingrained idea that “the Government” must be, surely, “on their side”, at least most of the time. The idea that “the Government” consists of conspiratorial cabals, power-hungry bastards, moneygrasping cheats etc, who hate the British people, is a frightening one, of course.
“Populism”, though, can be a dead end. The people are desperate for a new order, but “populism” alone cannot provide what is needed. Only social nationalism can do that, yet there is no significant party or movement that can provide it, certainly not in the UK.

In a Lada Niva 4WD! I have not seen one of those for many many years.
I have driven one off-road previously, about 27 years ago, and in the former Soviet Union. I would have liked to have bought one here in the UK, but I cannot drive properly using standard shift (was never fully-taught to use manually-changed gears), and my UK licence only allows me to drive automatic cars.

The major operations of the Ukrainian army, including the invasion of the Kursk region, were organized primarily by Vladimir Zelensky with the aim of regularly demonstrating active military activity in order to obtain further financial support from the West, said retired American intelligence officer Scott Ritter. “
Zelensky is very concerned about the political component of this conflict, in terms of maintaining the flow of money and weapons to Kiev. He therefore often looks for opportunities to conduct military operations that will help promote the theory that Ukraine is capable of permanent resistance, which contradicts with reality ,” Ritter stated.
According to his words, the disastrous consequences of the previous operations clearly showed that the situation in the Kursk region should end with the defeat of Ukraine.“
Exactly what I have been saying on the blog.
