Talking point

Makerfield by-election

Well, Burnham won. Not unexpected. The msm is going mad with this supposed great turning-point etc. Rather overblown, as is their contention that all Labour (or both of the main System parties) needed to do was to change horses, and both Reform and Restore would be left behind.

Not quite. At the 2024 General Election, Labour scored 45.2% at Makerfield, and Reform UK scored 31.8%. At the 2026 by-election, the Labour vote was 54.8%, so higher but not stunningly so, and the Reform vote was 34.5%, also higher than in 2024, despite the challenge from Restore Britain (6.8%) which did not exist in 2024.

While Reform and Restore together scored well below Labour’s vote, that combined vote still added up to 41.3%; quite respectable. Over 41% of the total of eligible voters did not vote at all, a sign that many are either apathetic or more radical than Reform and Restore.

Prior to the vote, enemy of the people Lisa Nandy made some foolish comment that “about 6% or 7%” of the Makerfield electorate were “racists” who would vote for any anti-immigration party. 6% or 7%. Now see the combined Reform/Restore vote— over 41%.

I think that several factors contributed to Burnham’s win. The split Reform/Restore was one. True, the two parties still scored a total below that of Burnham-Labour, but that might not have been the case had only one party stood.

Then there is the hullabaloo and msm reportage about how Burnham would unseat the hated Starmer-stein, and about Burnham’s supposed more radical and/or active ideas to improve life in the North of England. Unconvincing to me, but apparently not to many Northern English voters.

The other interesting parts of the by-election result were the poor showings of the Conservatives and LibDems.

The Conservatives scored only 2.2% at the by-election, and lost their deposit. In 2024, their vote had been 10.9%, and in 2019, 34.4%.

The LibDems scored only 0.4% at the by-election (a mere 163 votes) as against 6.8% in 2024.

An indication of how far the credibility of both parties, Con and LibDem, has fallen in parts of the country.

The so-called “vaccines” have done huge and hugely underreported damage to millions.

The growing anger and frustration of the British people may be expressed, by 2029, in Parliamentary form, or in some other form(s).

I remain far from convinced that the “our Andy” show (complete with “our communities” and “our NHS“) will travel well anywhere very far south (or north, or east) of Manchester.

I saw a minute of so, on BBC TV News, of Burnham speaking today. He wants to “re-industrialise the North (of England)” (how? has he never heard of China?) and spread much money here and there. For me, not at all convincing or even interesting.

The Irish “tinker” or “traveller” element is also, of course, notorious for such activity. Others too.

I can recall, from when I was staying in some hotel on the Corniche in Alexandria (Egypt) in 1998, looking from my balcony and noticing an obviously wealthy Egyptian family in a large Mercedes stop, and a little girl, obviously instructed to do so, exit from the vehicle with all their fast food boxes and paper bags, and simply dump them over the parapet into the beautiful blue sea of the Eastern Harbour, which sea once would have been seen by Cleopatra, Mark Antony, Julius Caesar and Caesar Augustus, not to mention Churchill and others.

If anyone is interested in a little more of my reminiscence of my 1998 visit to Egypt, please see:

[“If anyone doubts the power of community action over the @EnvAgency’s spineless inertia, you can walk to the outskirts of Ilford & walk along an ancient lost river to see for yourself.

With 10 days of intense effort by dedicated volunteers, the river River Roding Trust managed to clean up & restore 250 metres of the Aldersbrook (about 1/3 of the brook). This allows a direct comparison between the parts of the brook we restored & those we haven’t got round to yet.

These photos & videos are all from May 2026. The first is on a part of the Aldersbrook still to be restored & shows the old flood defences which are no longer needed & are killing the river but which the EA won’t remove unless we volunteers pay them £50,000 just for surveys.

These defences have caused 2-3ft of stinking sludge & silt to build up over 70 years, such that the water in the brook is just a few centimetres deep. Combine with huge amounts of rubbish & and out of control knotweed infestation & the river ecosystem is essentially dead.

A river that is older than England destroyed by official indifference.

A hundred metres away, and it’s a different story. The rubbish & the invasive species (I sprayed the knotweed myself last autumn) are gone. The silt that used to clog the river is now spread on the banks & rapidly providing fertile ground for native plants. Instead of sludge, there’s 2-3ft of water, so fish have returned to the brook for the first time in decades, along with dragon flies, herons & a nesting moorhen.

We river guardians knew our intervention would make a difference, but have been shocked at quite how quickly nature has come back. The restored Aldersbrook is now a rare jewel: pretty much the last fully natural tidal brook in London. The EA now has a choice. It can salvage some good from this situation & work with us to restore the remaining sections of the brook, or it can continue to do nothing. If the latter, river guardians *will* be back this winter to finish the job & the EA can see how well prosecuting volunteers for restoring a river without permission goes for them.“]

Bravo.

[“Around the country, a huge tree planting programme of our most important native tree is underway. But no bureaucrat decreed it in a policy paper, & it relies on no government funding. This mass planting is being carried out by nature herself.

2025 was a ‘mast year’ for acorns. In order to have the best chance of reproducing, some trees like oaks all produce a huge amount of acorns in the same year. This sheer abundance overwhelms creatures like squirrels that snack on the nuts, as they simply can’t eat them all.

Now, in woodlands & fields across the country, we see the results of this self-directed tree planting. Huge carpets of baby oaks that in some places are so thick they look like a grassy green lawn. I’ve honestly never seen so many oak saplings in my lifetime & this scene is all the more incredible given the oaks somehow knew to coordinate their reproduction like this.

Although this planting effort is natural, there are some things that humans can do to help. As self-sown oaks are usually significantly more vigorous & healthy than nursery grown saplings, encouraging these oaks will likely lead to much better trees than through planting.

What you can do depends on the local circumstances. Sometimes they can just be left to their own devices. If they have sown themselves in a area of high footfall, consider putting rocks or logs round them to stop trampling. If they are in an area with lots of deer, consider putting tree protectors round them, or fencing off areas of them. If we have a dry spell, watering your chosen oaks might help them through the dry patch. In choosing which of the many oaks out there you want to support, concentrate on those outside of the canopy of existing trees, where they will get light (the saplings under the shade of existing oaks are unlikely to make it long-term). You could also consider giving them light by removing invasive species (like rhododendron) or cutting back less ecologically useful trees (like sycamore), or potentially scrub (if there are no deer about) that are covering the baby oaks.

With a little bit of care, you could be helping to nurture a tree that will last for 500 years or more!“]

[“For every tear of an Israeli mother, a thousand Lebanese mothers must weep. All of Lebanon must burn!

With all due respect to the Americans, Israel must make it clear to the entire world that the blood of our sons and the security of our citizens are not forfeit. All of Lebanon must burn. Our supreme duty is to protect the citizens of Israel and the soldiers of the IDF, and this commitment takes precedence over every other consideration.

I told the Prime Minister, even in our private meetings: For every tear of an Israeli mother, a thousand Lebanese mothers must weep.

Enough with the ping-pong. In the Middle East, you don’t win with measured responses and restraint—you need to go berserk. To obliterate. To crush the terror.“]

The patience of the Russian leadership with this increasingly-serious shadow-boxing with the Kiev regime must be wearing thin.

(ps. the “Ian” there is not me but another Ian).

I may not “support” “Tommy Robinson”, as such (because he is controlled or too-influenced by the Israel-lobby), but he has a point here, of course.

I hope so, and that that is not a smoke-and-mirrors job designed to keep massive non-European hordes in Europe.

In the present age, trains should be run by the State as a strategic part of the economy, and fares kept reasonably low. At present, in the UK, we are getting the worst of both worlds: high prices combined with poor services (often) and the taxpayers funding private profits.

Those ticket prices London-Wigan are just insane.

Labour ministers and “comms” drones imagine that winning the Makerfield by-election (assuming that they do) will effectively crush both Reform UK and Restore Britain. I doubt it, but even were that so, it will not crush the justified and growing anger of the British people (including, in coming years, those in Makerfield) at migration invasion, environmental collapse, falls in living standards (and all other standards) etc.

Incidentally, “GOTV” = “Get Out The Vote”. Labour is throwing everything at this by-election. Desperate.

As said…desperate…

A few drone strikes, however destructive, on Moscow or other cities, will not change the arithmetic in the overall battlefield space.

I see Russian tweets etc claiming capture of villages, small settlements etc; from the Ukrainian side, not even that. The claimed Ukrainian advances must be either over depopulated areas of farmland and woodland or, at least as likely, non-existent.

The elephant in the room, surely, is the fact that Putin and the Russian leadership are not using more than a few percent, maybe less than one percent, of their potential destructive power. Russia has 7,000 nuclear weapons.

Would seem to indicate, if typical, that Russia is losing only 1 soldier killed for every 15 Ukrainian soldiers.

[“Labour has no right to win Makerfield, by @bnhwalker.

If Labour wins in Makerfield it will have been down to one man: Andy Burnham. In the most recent local elections every one of the individual council wards in Makerfield went Reform’s way. Nigel Farage’s party secured 50 per cent of the vote compared to Labour’s 25 per cent. Labour has never done so badly in Wigan. Whatever the capacities of one candidate, Reform should be winning it. The Makerfield constituency polls put Andy Burnham ahead by between 5-12 points.”]

There are 650 constituencies in the UK and Northern Ireland. I do not believe that any Burnham Bounce will swing (even in 2026) more than 50 of them. In any case, once (if it happens) Burnham is “crowned” PM, he will be faced with the same issues as Starmer-stein. Will he have better answers, or outcomes? I very much doubt that.

By 2029, this country will be even angrier and/or more desperate.

[“People vote in extraordinary ways in by-elections. They’ll even vote tactically for a party they can’t stand if it achieves the goal of a bloody nose to the party they backed last time. Honestly the way Labour has flooded Makerfield and the shocking machinations of Simons & Burnham would have me moving from abstention to considering in the privacy of the ballot booth a way of holding my nose to deliver a bloody nose. And as an ex-Tory I’m prepared to give LDs or Labour a hearing, I’m much closer to them on a few things than any of the (very) right-wing parties, that speaks to my natural and growing Burnham antipathy. The Our Andy stuff has been insufferable even from a distance.”]

UK Government aggression towards Russia is veering into the territory of outright war. Supplying the Kiev regime with 150,000 drones (presumably funded by the British taxpayer, at that) is tantamount to the UK taking a very active and direct part in the war. Mad.

As said before, Britain has never had any substantial connection with Ukraine, not in the thousand years of Ukraine’s history as effectively part of Russia, and not in its mere 35 years as a corrupt and shambolic notionally independent state. None.

Now the anti-British “British” government is launching what amounts to a military campaign against Russia in order to support the corrupt and brutal Jew-Zionist/Ukrainian-thug regime in Kiev. People should be asking why…

Were I a resident of Kiev, I should be packing my bags. Frankly, if this continues, the same might be said of London.

Exactly.

Exactly.

As said, the absurd thing is that, if Labour wins the by-election, nothing in fact changes and, outside the Manchester area, I doubt that Burnham is much of a gamechanger electorally.

I just read the brief Iran-US agreement. It is 90% in Iran’s favour, if not 100%. After 60 days, fees chargeable by Iran to all other states’ shipping to ship through the Strait of Hormuz; Iran oil exports to start again; Iranian assets to be unfrozen worldwide; a USD $300 BILLION fund (payable presumably by the USA) for the reconstruction of Iran (after the American and Israeli bombing and missile attacks); an Iranian pledge not to develop nuclear weapons (a promise already in place before the war anyway).

The USA has learned a lesson. Do not let the Jews (whether in Israel or the USA itself) dictate your foreign policy. Do not let the tail wag the dog.

A strategic disaster for both the USA and Israel, and the fault for it lies with Netanyahu and Israel, and with Trump. A TV personality and speculative businessman does not a statesman nor a strategist make, in most cases.

F.O.! Hegseth, you idiot— and take your Jews and (now-demented) Trump with you.

Something that, as I have noticed this week, people across the political spectrum agree upon. A horrible crime even in a country of (now) often horrible crimes.

That case also makes it clear that children of any age should never be condemned to be adopted by gay men in performative “marriage” “cosplays” (same goes for crazed lesbian couples).

Our animal friends. It is good to see something natural and pure after so much human degeneracy.

All roads lead to Rome, but…yes.

…or Russian, for that matter.

(in fact, there was never a serious possibility of German forces invading the UK in or around 1940, and there is no possibility of Russia taking over the UK in 2026).

Apparently an AI fake.

[Update, later same day: some msm outlets are now saying it is genuine. If so, mad…].

Incidentally, that “Crewkerne Man” is none other than Joshua Bonehill, or Bonehill-Paine, who used to put himself forward, about a decade or so ago, as a coming sort-of “national socialist”-style “Fuhrer” of the UK.

Bonehill-Paine tried to organize anti-Jew marches and would-be semi-pogroms in Golders Green and Central London (I think that 6 or 7 idiots actually turned up).

Bonehill-Paine was then, after a number of both political and non-political criminal convictions, imprisoned for many months, over a year in fact. In prison, he turned, or was turned, or brainwashed (?), from “antisemitism” to Judaeo-philia.

“Bonehill-Paine first questioned his antisemitic views during his second year in prison, after reading the Bible, and enrolled on a deradicalisation course via his probation officer.[4]” [Wikipedia]

Q.E.D.

Now, recently filmed looking 30+ years older than he did only a decade ago, he is apparently a supporter of the washed-up “Conservative” Party, is ludicrously pro-Jew and pro-Israel, and is even promoted by Israeli media outlets (as seen on his Twitter/X banner).

Very very strange.

Unbelievable.

Mirabile dictu! I actually agree with Ed Davey on something…

Incredible that a supposed “top businesswoman” (Deborah Meaden) can be so dim; there again, it is a common fallacy that the very wealthy (even those who inherited riches) must somehow be highly intelligent, and very knowledgeable. Often, not so.

As for multikulti “Conservative” drone Fraser Nelson, I have written about him on the blog in the past. Nothing he writes is worth reading.

The very terminology is outdated. “Working class” is almost as passé as what Ernest Bevin once called “the jolly old proletariat“.

As noted on the blog for several years, drones have changed the face of warfare, especially infantry warfare. This is only the start.

In the end, Burnham will be same-old, even if he runs Starmer out of town.

At the 2024 General Election, and in very rough figures, for every 20 eligible voters 8 did not vote at all; 4 out of the 20 voted Labour, 3 voted Conservative, 2 voted Reform, 2 voted LibDem, and 1 voted Green.

Starmer-Labour, as I blogged 2 years ago, only had the active electoral support of a third of those that actually voted in 2024, and a mere fifth of all of those eligible to vote.

Now? About half of the 2024 figures.

Opinion polling suggests that Labour, even under Burnham, would be the choice of only around 26% of voters were there a GE any time soon.

By 2029, Burnham-Labour, if Burnham does take over, will probably be running in the polls at around 20% at best. Will Labour try to change the rules, as they are presently doing in Manchester re. the mayoral by-election?

There is no “Parliamentary road” for us, but elections may yet be a peripheral part of the way forward.

Our animal friends.

Yes, foxes kill chickens, such is their nature, so just ensure your chickens etc are protected, that’s all. Good fences make good neighbours.

In fact the penalty imposed on me was both a financial one (amounting to over £700), and also a fairly brief (in the event) and not too onerous “community order”: see

“Talk TV” is an Israel-lobby front, and often invites the liar and perjurer Stephen Silverman, of the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” fake “charity”, a volunteer arm (some of them are paid, in fact) of the Israeli Embassy in London.

Reverting to the Reform/Restore situation, my attitude to Restore is not very different to how I see Reform, i.e. a useful tool in moving the overall Overton Window, meaning moving the general weight or bias of public opinion. Even if Reform or Restore were to win a general election, the (((usual fix))) is already in, certainly in Reform, and possibly soon in Restore.

What matters is not the next GE, or which party “wins”, but what happens when the party that wins that GE is unable to improve the degenerating situation in this country, and so loses both credibility and control. Then…

For over 30 years, living standards in the corrupt and shambolic Ukrainian fake state have been declining. Only now, and only in the regions under Russian rule, are they starting to improve.

[“NEW: Bloomberg Saturday read

— Andy Burnham is planning to move quickly after Makerfield to secure a coronation. His supporters think John Healey’s resignation kills off Keir Starmer’s chances of survival. They think Wes Streeting and Al Carns don’t have the numbers, and that Burnham can quickly get 250+ Labour MPs and most of the cabinet to back him.

— Starmer insists he’ll fight, but the question is what the cabinet does. Burnham’s supporters want them to tell the PM to agree a handover. Before Healey resigned, Starmer’s allies hoped he could battle on because most of the cabinet would back him to stay. Aides suggest the calculus is changing and Healey’s brutal exit makes it more likely they tell Starmer it’s over.

— Even Starmer loyalists are very critical of the PM. They wish he’d been bolder, found the defence money from welfare, net zero or elsewhere, and sacked Ed Miliband. Several allies say they can’t believe Miliband and Shabana Mahmood (who they say privately plotted with Burnham and Miliband to oust Starmer) are still in the cabinet, but Healey isn’t. One says that’s the final evidence of his lack of authority, political judgment and decision-making ability.

— Starmer’s relationship with Rachel Reeves has been tested to the limit. Her resistance led Starmer to renege on his Munich speech and overrule Healey and Jonathan Powell. She effectively buried his survival strategy of focusing on security. Reeves allies argue it’s her job to make the numbers add up and if Starmer wanted more money for defence he could have imposed more departmental cuts but was unwilling.

— Burnham will not keep Reeves on as his chancellor, despite her allies pitching her to stay. Reappointing her would not be the change he’s promising, one Burnham supporter says. They say they spoke to Reeves around the locals and came away believing she would help them persuade Starmer to go, but she didn’t follow through.

— The turmoil is rattling UK allies. European diplomats contacted British counterparts in recent days complaining about the uncertainty over the UK’s defence spending plans, the slow pace of the uplift and Healey’s departure. They’ve also asked for information about Burnham’s plans for foreign policy and defence but got no answer.

— If Burnham does become PM he’ll face the same problems. His critics say he’s never uttered a word of substance on defence or foreign policy, shows no interest in it and has no plan. It is not impossible that in the next few months the British PM has to join negotiations with Putin over Ukraine. “Can you imagine Burnham doing that?” asks one official, especially with Powell likely to leave with Starmer.

— Starmer’s chaos also distracted from what might otherwise have been a bad week for Burnham. He got away with his WASPI gaffe thanks to Healey. Labour MPs are also critical of his plans on immigration. One aide said his proposal to end asylum hotel contracts and move responsibility for housing migrants to local authorities is amateurish and toxic.

— It all leaves Labour MPs in a state of total despair. Starmer looks finished but Burnham has no obvious plan and keeps making basic mistakes that foreshadow another troubled premiership, one said. If Burnham loses Makerfield, Labour appears to have no other options.“]

Interesting, but fails to make the point that any money spent on “defence” at this point is simply money thrown away.

The “threats” to our country and society do not come from Russia, not at all (that’s just msm propaganda nonsense) but from demographic change, the change from being a relatively civilized white European society to a multikulti dystopian mess, an approaching near-anarchy made worse by falling living standards and migration invasion.

Our animal friends.

Ed Miliband. That crazy Jew.

Incidentally, I have never found an answer as to where the family money came from. I have tried to analyze it on the blog previously. We are told that the Miliband father arrived in the UK during the early stages of WW2, young and as a “penniless” “refugee” who had lost his family wealth by reason of the “Nazis”. However, not long after WW2, in the 1950s, certainly by the early 1960s, the family (mother was also supposedly a “refugee”) was in a house in expensive Primrose Hill, and then in —really?— The Boltons, Kensington, one of the most expensive addresses in the country.

Did the Milibands, like so many Jews, have money secreted overseas/offshore? We do not know. What about today, in 2026?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_Miliband

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marion_Kozak

I remember that, sometime around 2010 or 2012, Jeremy Paxman interviewed Ed Miliband, and made an oblique reference to the Miliband family wealth, but Miliband deflected and tried to laugh it off.

Many of Britain’s ultra-wealthy have considerable funds offshore.

Actually, on a personal and not directly-related point, I remember being told, prior to a flying visit to Liechtenstein in 2002, that the person I was flying out to see (you have to fly to Zurich and then drive to Vaduz, which takes another ~2-hours), a quintessentially-English-named Mr. Jeeves, who was in the offshore industry and was also the Honorary Consul (British Consul) in Liechtenstein, was also an agent of, or at least source for, SIS.

Mr. Jeeves apparently dealt with large amounts of offshore (i.e. tax-avoiding) monies on behalf of some very or ultra-wealthy British people, including the then Queen (Elizabeth II) and Mick Jagger. So I was told, anyway.

Looking up today, online, the global Jeeves Group, though, I notice that the person I went to see in 2002 is not now directly involved in operating the organization; he and his brother were at least in their sixties, I should imagine, and may well be deceased, 24 years after I met one of them.

Wouldn’t those “antifa” cretins get a massive shock if [REDACTED BY REASON OF UK POLICE-STATE CENSORSHIP]…

[“The British People are fully on board with deporting all illegal migrants. Good.

Now it’s time to turn to the reality that legal migration is the far bigger problem.

There are approx 14 million third-world descent migrants in Great Britain.

If we do not urgently reverse legal migration, we will soon become a minority in our homeland. We are already a minority in a quarter of schools.

Some might say that remigration is extreme, but I would argue that being willing to give up our only homeland is far, far more extreme.

Without the Native British People, there is no Britain.“]

Losing“? That boat sailed long ago, Goodwin. A major factor has been the promotion of mass immigration for 80+ years (mostly, though not entirely, by the Jewish element in politics, law, and the mainstream media).

Only wading through very unpleasant swamps will now save the British people, and I doubt that Reform UK is up to what may need to be done.

[“What’s living in the UK like? I’ll tell you. In the last week alone we have had to process:

-an attempted beheading by an illegal migrant from Sudan in Belfast
-while still trying to make sense of a boy, Henry Nowak, being stabbed to death while police were more anxious about allegations of “racism” than trying to save his life

-then we learn children in Scotland were assaulted by Bulgarians while the police didn’t believe them either
-while reading that a vulnerable 18-year-old was rped by an asylum-seeker from Pakistan -while an asylum-seeker from Iraq got only 6 years for rpe
-while an Iraqi national, was found guilty of eight counts of r*pe and grooming children as young as 12
-and his friend from Iran who arrived illegally skipped bail and is on the run
-and now we learn that a teenage girl has been stabbed in the neck by no doubt “a local man” in Burnley.

That’s one week in the UK. Oh, and the Left say talking about all this is “divisive”, they blame social media and Elon Musk, and local councils have told us not to fly our national flag because it might “intimidate” migrants. One week. The UK.”]

A couple of point: first, the “Bulgarians” mentioned were almost certainly Gypsies from Bulgaria, not ethnic Bulgarians. Bulgarians, like Romanians, are often tarred, very wrongly, with the brush that should be reserved for the Gypsy element from both countries.

Second, why does Goodwin never mention the fact that Jews such as now-dismissed p/t judge, barrister Simon Myerson of Leeds, have actually set up “charities” to import more Afghans etc?

In fact, Goodwin always avoids criticism of Israel and of any Jews (with the exception of the Green Party leader, Zack Polanski, but Polanski is one of those Jews other Jews love to hate).

In my view, one element that really does need to be addressed, urgently, by Government in the UK is not black or brown (etc)— the nasty Irish-origined tinker/”traveller” element. In fact, properly “addressing” that problem might encourage some of the blacks and browns (etc) to depart “voluntarily”.

Apocalypse Now

Saw a long recording of the final director’s cut of the famous film, Apocalypse Now. More than impressive, and makes much more sense than the usual much-cut-down version that I have seen in the past.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apocalypse_Now#Apocalypse_Now_Final_Cut

Quite many films have been butchered; to what extent, you only understand once you see fuller versions: The Wicker Man (1973) is far far better in the rather longer versions. I once had a copy of the Director’s Cut version.

Same goes for Taxi Driver:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxi_Driver

One film that I thought only just made sense when I first saw it in France is Les Rivieres pourpres. I read later that the director had cut out a high proportion of the film as originally made; as far as I know, no longer cut exists in the public domain.

Look at them. As I suspected, not “Bulgarians” but Gypsies from Bulgaria.

Now, those little Scottish girls have been vindicated, the Gypsies convicted, and Police Scotland (and Humza Yusaf) shamed (yet again).

All the msm etc are talking about the Makerfield by-election as if the whole future of the UK rests on it. No, because even if Burnham wins, which is now probable though not certain, he has, and Labour has, nothing much in the tank. Same-old, really.

Good point.

People are getting desperate for a real Britain and a real British political vehicle. Unconsciously, they want social nationalism but are, by reason of a century of mostly Jewish anti-“Nazi” propaganda, mostly completely unaware of that.

I believe the graph. When I was in the Caribbean, I was told that, if a local (i.e. black) man marries a woman with existing teenage or even pre-teen daughters, it is almost expected that the girls come with their mother as a kind of sexual package deal for the man.

Incidentally, why do so many “woke” cretins not understand “per capita“? Must be an educational failure.

Not hard to believe at all. It is simply that Starmer-stein has outlived his usefulness by reason of not only his own incompetence but also that of his entire Labour Friends of Israel Cabinet.

By reason of Starmer’s failing credibility, the organ-grinders need a new monkey to draw in the punters…Arise, Andy Burnham…

Oh, I see that System mouthpiece and “asset” Paul Mason is there too. What a surprise…(use the search box on the blog to see my assessments of Mason).

Always. The “Campaign Against Antisemitism”, for example, has repeated “form” for claiming thousands on the streets at their events, when the true number has, at times, been no more than 100 or even 50.

As part of a privately funded experiment in Universal Basic Income in 2019, the Stockton Economic Empowerment Demonstration (S.E.E.D.) conducted a pilot project that gave a $500 stipend to 125 randomly selected residents for an 24-month period with “no strings attached.[51] “

[Wikipedia]

SEED was a Randomized Control Trial that distributed $500 a month for 24 months to 125 recipients. The cash was unconditional, with no strings attached and no work requirements, and recipients were selected randomly from neighborhoods at or below Stockton’s median household income.

Results gathered from the first year, which spanned February of 2019 to February of 2020, found recipients obtained full-time employment at more than twice the rate of non-recipients. Recipients were less anxious and depressed, both over time and compared to the control  group. They also saw statistically significant improvements in emotional health, fatigue levels and overall well being. Recipients had a greater ability to pay for unexpected expenses.

People spent the SEED money on basic needs, including food (nearly 37%), sales/merchandise (22%, on home goods, clothes/shoes and discount/dollar stores), utilities (11%) and auto costs (10%). Less than 1% was spent on alcohol and/or tobacco.”

https://www.stocktondemonstration.org/press-landing/guaranteed-income-increases-employment-improves-financial-and-physical-health

In my view, Basic Income must be the way to go, with AI and robotics impacting employment and set to do so more. The alternative to Basic Income is to have a tiny sliver of the population ultra-wealthy, a wider layer wealthy, and about 80% of the population near-destitute.

I think that that is even more obvious in 2026.

Perhaps, after Reform UK gets into government but then fails to satisfy the needs of the British people, real social-national politics will come to the fore. We do not need universal support, nor even a majority, just a large enough minority (disciplined and equipped etc) to take over regardless of rigged System elections.

Also, with such a small gene pool to work from, if their ancestors had strong dark triad traits, it’s certain that most living descendants today also have them which explains this awful behaviour below.“]

[“A lot of people have mentioned Gove so let’s take a look.

MICHAEL GOVE. A thread. 1/ The government repeatedly told the public: “Ministers had no involvement in procurement decisions.” The Covid Inquiry proved that was a lie. And nowhere is that clearer than with Michael Gove. 2/ September 2019. Gove was Cabinet Office minister overseeing Brexit readiness. He held a meeting with Palantir. The company told his department it could provide “capabilities to manage the fast-evolving and unpredictable environment” of Brexit. One year later: £27m Cabinet Office contract. No tender. Source: openDemocracy FOI investigation. 3/ Then the pandemic hit. And Gove got busy. Meller Designs. A fashion company run by David Meller — who had donated nearly £60,000 to the Conservative Party and personally supported Gove’s 2016 leadership bid. Gove’s office referred Meller Designs to the VIP lane. 4/ Meller Designs won six PPE contracts worth £164m. Three of those six contracts were priced at between 1.2 and 2.2 times the average unit price paid to other suppliers. Source: Good Law Project analysis of government spending data. 5/ Unispace Global. The single biggest winner from the entire VIP lane operation. On 24 March 2020 Unispace emailed Gove thanking him for “your time spent with us on the phone earlier.” Twenty days later: a £239m contract. Total Unispace PPE deals: £679m. 6/ When this emerged the Cabinet Office denied Gove was involved. Then the Covid Inquiry published the evidence. A senior civil servant’s witness statement confirmed the Unispace offer had “come through” Gove — directly contradicting the government’s public position. Source: Byline Times/Covid Inquiry documents, March 2025. 7/ James Dyson. Leading Brexiteer. Keen Gove ally. The Covid Inquiry heard Gove was “INSISTENT that an order be placed” with Dyson’s company for 10,000 ventilators. At a meeting on 25 March 2020, Gove “acknowledged he was under political pressure to ensure we have followed up with Dyson.” 8/ An independent procurement expert appointed by the Covid Inquiry called the Dyson deal an “affront to procurement rules.” The contract was eventually cancelled. Of £277m spent on ventilators by the Cabinet Office, £143m was written off. Source: Professor Dr Albert Sanchez-Graells, Covid Inquiry expert report, March 2025. 9/ There’s more. Gove awarded a contract to Public First — a research company whose directors had personal connections to Dominic Cummings. The High Court ruled it unlawful. The judge: “The existence of personal connections between the Defendant, Mr Cummings and the directors of Public First was a relevant circumstance that might be perceived to compromise their impartiality.” Source: High Court judgment, June 2021. 10/ Gove also referred six firms to the Test and Trace VIP lane alongside Cabinet Office Minister Lord Agnew. Source: Good Law Project exclusive, confirmed November 2023. 11/ After all of this, David Meller — the Tory donor whose fashion company won £164m in Gove-referred contracts — was elevated to the UK Board of Trade by Kemi Badenoch. No competitive process. No public announcement. Source: Byline Times investigation. 12/ The Cabinet Office said repeatedly: “No evidence ministers were involved in procurement decisions.” The High Court disagreed. The Covid Inquiry disagreed. The documents disagreed. Gove is now Baron Gove. A life peer. Editor of The Spectator. Nobody has been charged. 13/ Hancock WhatsApped donors. Gove referred his leadership campaign backer. Johnson texted Dyson personally. Same pattern. Same party. Same public money. The Covid Corruption Commissioner is still investigating. The National Crime Agency is probing possible criminal offences. We are still waiting for accountability. #GoveMustAnswer#CovidContracts“]

When I was wrongfully and (as it later transpired) illegally disbarred in 2016, one of the merely 5 tweets (out of around 150,000 tweets and retweets since 2010) that supposedly grounded that disbarment (it was really a multi-years-long conspiracy by a pack of Jews) was a tweet describing Gove in some such terms as being a fraudulent pro-Jew, pro-Israel expenses cheat.

All true, but the truth is no defence these days, not when the Jew lobby decides to attack you.

I might add that, neither in 2014 (when the “UK Lawyers of Israel” Jews made their contrived complaint against me to the Bar Standards Board), nor in 2016 (when the case was heard by the Bar Disciplinary Tribunal) was I aware that Gove was also an alcoholic drunk, and a serial cocaine abuser! The perverse little bastard is now the Editor of the “Conservative” magazine The Spectator. Oh, and also a member of the totally debased House of Lords. Unbelievable, or maybe not.

That Nigerian “Femi Sorry” idiot is a prime example of how the idea of “only allowing in professional-level migrants” (Reform, Restore, Advance, and other pseudo-national parties) just does not work.

“Femi” has parents who are affluent NHS medics. He himself, though, has never had a job, let alone a profession or business (except a year or so as EU-funded propagandist against Brexit); he has in the past had unpaid or grant-aided “internships” and “academic/student placements” (really only possible because he is subsidized by his parents) and now, at age 36, just “grifts” along doing tiny TV and radio appearances (if he still does any of those; maybe not), and (I believe) living via donations from mugs. Useless. A waste of space.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femi_Oluwole

You may only let in “professional-work” migrants, but their offspring will probably be, like “Femi”, completely useless millstones round the neck of the British people.

Much as I should like to think that Netanyahu has gone up the chimney, it is hard to imagine the Israelis being so careless. Well, I suppose the truth will have to emerge before long.

Always the “victims”, even when they fomented this war, they started it by attacking Iran, they blackmailed “Epstein/Lolita” Trump into doing much of the dirty work or “wet work” for them, and when they (the Jew “fifth column” members in the UK and elsewhere) are in the Press and on TV and screeching for war constantly [etc].

[“This is Emma Barnett. Emma is a Jewish BBC host. Emma’s father, Ian Barnett, was convicted and imprisoned for running prostitution brothels in Manchester, England. Emma’s mother, Michele Barnett, was convicted of laundering the money from the family’s brothel operation.

Emma, while never convicted for direct involvement, was fully aware of the family business, openly discussing the “whores” with her father, while photos of the “whores” were kept in the family’s lounge and piano room.

In the aftermath of her parents convictions, however, she publicly feigned ignorance and played victim to the circumstances, calling it “the most painful chapter of my life.” Shocking, I know, that she’d be so transparently two-faced.

Oh, wait. Here we see her two faces again, as she so readily ascribes “White privilege” to a guest while excoriating their “cavalier” word choice, then, in response to seeing “Jewish privilege” on X, she reengages victim mode and appeals to her audience’s sympathies by whiningly asking, “Do you know that feels? Do you know how frightening that is? How angering that is?”

Ah yes, Emma “The Eternal Victim” Barnett – millionaire BBC star living in London’s posh Herne Hill neighborhood. Bludgeoning Whites for our “privilege;” recoiling in horror when the same is said of her people.

Not sure about Herne Hill being “posh“. I was there occasionally in the 1980s. Maybe it has become more expensive in the years since.

As to the rest, very true. The UK mass media really needs to be cleaned out.

Afternoon thought

We see so many posts on Twitter/X by Jews in the UK, claiming that whatever Israel may do in Gaza, Lebanon, Iran, Iraq etc has nothing to do with the “British” Jewish community, nothing at all. All the same, those same Jews tweeting on Twitter/X are always, always supportive of Israel and its activities in every way imaginable, from its arms industry to whatever its armed forces do, including the mass slaughter in Gaza, and even the murderous activities of MOSSAD and other allied agencies of Israeli Intelligence.

Of course, the Jews on Twitter/X are far more fanatical, I imagine, than many of those not making a public statement. Still, the Jew-Zionist pressure groups themselves say that up to 95% of Jews in the UK “support Israel” (whatever that may mean).

I remember well the Poland of the late 1980s, to which I made several visits, a total time spent of, perhaps, 2 months. I have not returned since late 1989, when I was best man at a large wedding at the Basilica in the main square at Krakov. It was like the wedding scene in the film El Cid.

From what I have seen on Google Earth, Twitter etc, I should not recognize the Warsaw, or even Krakov and Bielsko-Biala etc, that I saw back then. Remarkable and interesting.

Both journalists Jewish, yet both openly criticizing Trump’s madness.

Israel’s madness too, of course, because the [Israeli] Jews both fomented and started this war, and also drew first blood.

I think that Israel was of the mentality, “well, we control —more or less— the American government, State Department, mass media, so the Americans are basically under our control via the American Jewish lobby, and the American public will, as always since the 1960s, fall for our propaganda if only because almost all the TV, radio, Press are under Jewish control or ownership and will slant the news the way we want. Also, we can press the “holocaust” and “Hitler” buttons so that we seem to be the victims as usual.”

Also, they may think that “we have nuclear weapons, but Iran has none.”

What that says to me is that it is now not unthinkable that, if Trump pulls his forces out of the war, the [Israeli] Jews will use those nuclear weapons on Iran. That might destroy Iran completely, or for hundreds of years, but it will also start the countdown to doom for Israel itself.

The USA, like the UK, has in its midst a Jewish, Zionist, pro-Israel “fifth column” that has infiltrated not only business, finance, the legal world, publishing, and the mainstream media, but the highest councils of national policy. That lobby is the problem.

In the USA, prominent non-Jew puppets of that lobby include the likes of Senator Lindsey Graham; in the UK, horrible little blots such as Michael Gove.

Of course, in the USA Jews comprise about 2% of the population, whereas in the UK the proportion is less than 1%, perhaps half of 1%.

MOSSAD (and Israeli services generally) have always engaged in false flag attacks, even in the 1950s, e.g. in Egypt.

There is a Jewish lobby and Israel lobby (effectively the same thing) cabal in each of the main UK political parties. Labour Friends of Israel. Conservative Friends of Israel. Now also Reform UK Friends of Israel. Why Reform? Because Reform might just win the next general election, so the (((fix))) has to be in, in advance, just in case.

We have no war with Iran, the likelihood of one is very small, and so we have no need for any defence against Iran at this point. We may not like the backward aspects of the Iranian regime, but it is not our business to topple it, especially in concert with the Jews of Israel, which does interfere, constantly, in the UK: in our politics, laws, and culture, in our society generally.

Israel and the Jews have attacked the British people far more than any Iranians.

No, no, no. Only real English/British people should be allowed to stand for election. Only real English/British people should be allowed to vote. The alternative is eventual white genocide somewhere down the line and, in the interim, our becoming, at best, just one group among many, one bloc among many. Our destiny must be to rule, or it is nothing.

Whatever happens in the current ME conflict, one state already comes out as a winner— Russia. The world price of oil and gas has rocketed; Russia is a major producer of both. As the USA allows its dependent “ally”, Israel, to control US actions, American credibility slides worldwide, so that is a diplomatic win by default for Russia. Finally, the missiles and other weapons going to the attacks on Iran, and defence of Israel, will not be going to the Kiev regime. Overall, then, a tripartite win for Russia and Putin.

Talking point

“Hitler did not share the ideas of his Austrian compatriot. He argued in his 1928 Secret Book that they are unfit for the future defence of Europe against America. As America fills its North American lebensraum, “the natural activist urge that is peculiar to young nations will turn outward.” But then “a pacifist-democratic pan-European hodgepodge state” would not be able to oppose the United States, as it is “according to the conception of that commonplace bastard, Coudenhove-Kalergi…”

[Wikipedia]

I quoted that in a blog post of 6 July 2019:

Destruction of Nature in England

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/jan/21/judi-dench-backs-campaign-protect-london-green-spaces-from-developers

New research by CPRE London has found that at least nine parks, eight playing fields and eight nature reserves in London are at risk, including Whitewebbs Park in Enfield, Wimbledon Park, and Green Dale Fields in Southwark. After campaigning by CPRE London and local groups, six green spaces were saved last year, including the pitches at Finsbury leisure centre in Islington, but seven were lost, including Crossness nature reserve in Bexley.

Countryside campaigners have criticised the government for allowing development on the green belt in new plans and setting a “grey belt” policy that categorises some protected land as ripe for housing and infrastructure.

In Enfield, the local council has agreed to lease part of Whitewebbs Park to Tottenham Hotspur football club. It is also the site of an ancient oak that was felled by contractors last year, to public dismay.

Dench said: “Staggeringly, 10% of public land in Britain has been lost since 1979. Whitewebbs Park in Enfield is one of the public parks currently under threat. There, a 450-year-old oak tree was brutally butchered and Spurs’ plans to develop the park involve cutting down 207 trees, including veteran and mature trees, and taking over most of the park for their elite private use.

“It is clear to me that it is more important than ever to protect our parks and green spaces before it’s too late.

[Guardian]

Disgraceful. One of the many bad things that have been happened in this regard in the UK, especially in England, over the past 30+ years, arguably 40+ years, is the proliferation of private housing development without planning authorities insisting upon green space left for Nature and local people. Parks, nature reserves, roadside trees and bushes.

I am of course completely against what F.D. Roosevelt did in the international arena, but compare his literate and weighty speeches and statements with those of Trump. Is further comment even necessary?

Stop all new mass immigration. Stop the boat invasion (whatever it takes). Start a steady programme to repatriate or otherwise remove non-Europeans from the UK and the rest of Europe. Eliminate foreign interference (especially from Israel and its agents) from the UK socio-political matrix. Start to help Nature to recover. Stop all cruelty and brutality to animals. Stop corruption of politicians and others. Start (in many many ways and via many many policies) to create a more just society and one where services and institutions work properly.

[“The reason Substacks and new media are thriving is because millions of people are utterly sick of the same liberal centrist dross being served up and shoved down our throats —from the BBC to much of the MSM—and then presented as some kind of “insight” when, in reality, it reflects the worldview of a 5-10% elite minority who still think we are living in 1997 and have failed to see that, actually, people don’t want liberalism on steroids. This elite minority is filled with people who went to the same schools, the same universities, who all basically think the same, live in the same postcodes, and are so obsessed with conforming to the Groupthink or their own social status that they never come close to representing or understanding the wider country. The only thing they want to do is maintain a dismal status-quo that was largely built by this elite class to serve the interests of this elite class. You can criticise me, that’s fine, but this is also why we are now one of the largest independent politics newsletters in the West (http://mattgoodwin.org), and why many others are also emerging, because people see through the Blob and they’ve had enough of it. Because they are the ones having to live with the reality of what this elite class has done to the country —an elite class that now also has the gall to say “yes we get your concerns but don’t be too annoyed/we don’t like your tone”. Do you see how utterly deluded large parts to legacy media now look to everybody else? Look for example at the stuff your own paper has been pushing on immigration. It is so obviously biased and disconnected from the mounting pile of evidence that it is embarrassing to read and, even worse, the reason you won’t change your tune is because you view the truth as “low status” and everybody can see it. Do you have one columnist, a single columnist, who genuinely reflects the mood of the average voter right now? Nope. Hence why the Tories are collapsing. Hence why legacy media is haemorrhaging viewers and listeners. Hence why liberal centrists (sorry, “conservatives”) are sitting around, scratching their heads, wondering why nobody is interested in them anymore. Still, the failures of MSM are what is driving the success of new media and the realignment of politics so keep doing what you’re doing …“]

Good, but not enough.

The “rubber boat” invaders are only 5% of the overall problem; indeed, if births to non-Europeans are taken into account, even less.

I think that the British people have largely made up their collective mind: Farage and Reform are slightly underwhelming, but are the only game in town to vote for in order to hit out at the System parties that have done so much damage. Everyone now knows that, at every by-election, and every local election, from now until the next general election, and then at that general election, the way to stamp on both Lab and Con is to vote Reform.

The Reform vote at the next general election will probably be between 30% and 45%, and even the 30% level will be enough to sink Starmer-stein and his Labour Friends of Israel regime.

“Labour” ceased to be “the party of the working man” a long long time ago, and certainly no later than 1997.

An utter cretin.

I shall be interested and amused to see the progress, if any, of the new party being set up by Corbyn and the comedic-named Zara Sultana. I am told that about a quarter of Labour members will join, defecting from Starmer-Labour. A quarter of members, maybe, but I apprehend that only about a tenth of Labour voters, if that, will defect at the next general election. At present, official Labour is registering about 20%-28% in the opinion polls. That seems to put Corbyn-Labour on maybe 2% or 3%. I doubt that Corbyn’s new party will attract more than 10% of the entire election vote; maybe 5%. Even 10% may not result in more than one or two MPs. Corbyn himself, and maybe Ms. Sultana, in both of whose constituencies the vote may be more concentrated.

Impressive, but no more so than the one that stood in the garden of my parents’ house at Reigate Hill, Surrey, circa 1980. The house itself was called Sequoiah (the Native American name for giant redwood). I think that tree was about 100 years old at the time.

Sadiq Khan is announcing plans to build on parts of London’s green belt, in a dramatic shift in housing policy aimed at tackling “the most profound housing crisis in the capital’s history”.

In a major speech on Friday, the mayor of London is expected to say the scale of the challenge, which could need about 1m new homes built in the next decade, requires a break from longstanding taboos.

It marks the first time city hall will support the strategic release of low-quality or inaccessible green belt land near transport links in order to provide hundreds of thousands of new affordable homes.”

[Guardian]

Very sad. Apart from that, when they talk about “low-quality or inaccessible land“, what “low-quality” means in this context is simply land on the edge of built-up areas, which may not always be very scenic (but could be, with political will to improve it). “Inaccessible land” is still better than the same land being built on, and its very inaccessibility provides a haven and sanctuary for animals, birds, insects etc.

This is what happens when a country is invaded by a million migrant-invaders per year (legal or illegal)— pressure on land, transport, public services etc increases, housing becomes unaffordable, and life becomes stressed and unpleasant. Look around. The evidence is all around you.

Disgusting pair. I hope that the sentencing judge passes a suitably condign sentence. I hope that I do not read “Sycamore Gap vandals escape prison“. This was a horrible and destructive crime, an act of evil; there was also huge economic damage to the surrounding region (I have seen figures estimating damage of up to £1M).

Just a tree? So tie them to a tree for a few weeks, or months (in winter).

I don’t care whether migrant-invaders are legal or illegal, or whether or not they break UK laws while battening upon us. I just want them all gone.

Yet another opinion poll placing Reform UK in government, potentially. According to Electoral Calculus, a Commons with 314 Reform UK MPs, 168 Labour MPs, 63 LibDems, 39 Cons, 36 SNP (etc). Reform 12 short of an absolute majority, but on the cusp of a working one.

[“Let’s put emotions aside for a moment. The United States .. like any sovereign nation .. has every right to reclaim its independence, pursue its national interest, and break free from parasitic entanglements that have long drained its dignity and resources. What we are witnessing today may be the first real attempt in decades by parts of the American establishment to free themselves from the stranglehold of the Zionist lobby. But here’s the irony: the very idea that America might make decisions based on its own interests has sent Israeli officials into a frenzy. Why? Because for decades, they’ve treated the U.S. not as an ally, but as a tool .. a weaponized servant to carry out their ambitions, silence their critics, and whitewash their crimes. And now, as the leash begins to loosen, their panic grows louder. Let’s be clear: This isn’t a battle between good and evil. It’s a clash between Racial superiority and religious superiority One seeking global domination through lies, manipulation, and media .. driven illusions , Blackmailing , assassination The other aiming to reassert global control through , brute force, and economic imperialism We now stand at a crossroads for America: Either the United States, through Trump, succeeds in imposing a model of sovereign imperialism based on American supremacy… Or Israel unleashes its old playbook .. media manipulation, financial pressure, political chaos .. to manufacture another storm, just as it did when JFK tried to challenge their influence and paid for it with his life.“]

Interesting. Plaid is of course not truly “national” or “nationalist”, but more akin to the SNP in Scotland. Its basic premise, that Wales should be an independent state, is of course ludicrous, especially but not solely from the economic point of view.

Having said that, I can see why Welsh voters in Wales are going for Plaid (the apparent tautology is in fact not so, because a great number of voters in Wales are not Welsh, being either non-European —non-white— or English, mostly the latter; there are a few other small groups as well).

I think that Plaid is making hay because the main System parties, Lab and Con, are perceived as both hopeless and not “local” (to Wales). That was not always so (in relation to Labour) but I think it probably is so now.

As for Reform’s upsurge in Wales, it follows the rise in support for Reform in England and even in Scotland.

In Scotland, Reform is rising up, but another consequence of the drastic fall in support for both Con and Lab is that the SNP may survive, however unmeritedly, and may be able to increase its Westminster representation from its present 9 MPs (out of 57 Scottish seats) to something like 30; not quite the 56 out of 59 it had in 2015, nor even the 48 out of 59 it had in 2019, but still respectable, and a plurality of the 57 Scottish seats that now exist.

Put another way, people across the UK are binning Con and Lab, and I do not see that changing.

The YouGov poll is about the Senedd (Welsh Assembly) elections, not Westminster voting intentions, but must have relevance to the next general election.

One of the best polling results yet for Reform.

Running that through Electoral Calculus (notionally putting LibDems at 15% and Greens at 10%): Reform 375 MPs; Labour 121; LibDems 62; SNP 38; Cons 25. A Reform government with a very large majority of 49 (working majority of about 59).

I keep seeing Labourite and Con Twitter-twits’ tweets saying “still 4 years to go“, as if the main System parties will somehow regain public trust before 2029. Are they serious?!

Arabic might be considered the richest language in words based on its complexity. According to The National – the United Arab Emirates’ leading English-speaking news outlet – on average, a single written word in Arabic has three meanings, seven pronunciations and 12 interpretations.

Not merely a philological curiosity; it means that the meaning and/or intent of the Arab is not necessarily clear-cut.

True, the same word in English can have several meanings (some words can, that is), but I do not think that that is quite the same, mainly because, in English, the meaning is usually obvious from the context. Also, it applies to a relatively few words, not “the average“.

Something for the Arabists in the Foreign Office to consider, if they have not all been purged, and replaced by Zionists (which may well be the case, looking at UK representation in Ukraine and Israel in recent years).

Reform UK

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/feb/02/reform-uk-can-win-scores-of-labour-seats-in-england-and-wales-says-study

Reform UK can win scores of Labour seats in England and Wales, says study.

Analysis of a mega poll shows Keir Starmer would lose more seats than Tories amid voter discontent with main parties.

Labour faces losing scores of seats to Reform UK across England and Wales as a widening section of ­voters lose faith in the mainstream parties, according to a new analysis seen by the Observer.

With senior figures in the Labour party now privately talking about a “change of era” in which more ­moderate voters are turning to Nigel Farage’s party, new research on Reform’s influence suggests it will take far more seats from Labour than from the Conservatives on ­current trends.

Reform would win 76 seats if an election were held now, according to a constituency-by-constituency model. Of those, 60 would be won from Labour, including seats across the “red wall”, as well as in Wales and across the south of England.

However, the analysis also reveals that even a relatively small further swing towards Reform from Labour could see the party pick up another 76 Labour-held seats.

The narrow Labour lead in many seats means it is susceptible in the event of a high turnout among Reform voters, a surge in Reform’s support, or a drop in Labour turnout.

The huge study, commissioned by the Hope Not Hate campaign group, has been carried out by the Focaldata polling company using a mega-poll, or MRP, made up of almost 18,000 voters.

Its analysis of almost 4,000 ­voters currently minded to back Reform found that one in five were “moderate, interventionist” voters who were unlike those who had backed Farage at the last election or supported Ukip or the Brexit party in the past.

[The Observer/Guardian]

So there it is. Reform could end up with 152 seats even on present polling and trending.

As frequently noted, Reform is part of the journey, not the ultimate destination, but this news, overall, is very good.

I only believe stock exchange speculators when they start jumping out of windows.

You may as well ban cars because a few lunatics deliberately or carelessly misuse them to hurt others. There must be literally billions of knives, even of the type(s) mentioned, in the UK.

Most knife crime is done by “the blacks and browns”, followed by other ethnic minorities, yet contemporary msm scribblers, talking heads, Westminster Bubble drones want to get rid of knives (or certain types of knife)?! Get rid of those doing the crimes. Get rid of them.

Over the past few decades, the newspapers have gradually filled with idiots of the Tom Calver type, all trying to present themselves as “serious” commentators. Some, such as pro-Jewish lobby and pro-Israel expenses cheat, Michael Gove, even made it into government.

As for “celebrity” Idris Elba, is there “some chance” that he might be biased? I merely pose the question.

Look at the odd man out— the “Conservatives”. I think that they are in a death spiral.

Of course, the System MPs (rather than voters) will fight to keep FPTP, but proportional representation is an idea the time for which has finally arrived.

Looking at it another way, it is certainly the aged who still support FPTP, because they have grown up with it, are used to it and many of them are too stupid to see that its time has gone.

As is she…

That is more or less my view, too.

I wonder how many of those in charge are Jewish? In the USA, psychiatry and psychology are heavily-Jewish areas, but I do not know whether that is also the case in the UK.

“I spent the weekend in an act of ‘wild service’ helping to restore nature & maybe helping to heal some if the urban/rural divide.

In an event organised by @StEthelburgas & @letterstoearth_, a group of urbanites came together in the glorious welsh countryside to plant hedges & trees.

The method of planting 100’s of metres of hedges to connect up existing habitats (copses, ponds, areas of scrub etc) cleverly balanced allowing the land to be used for farming whilst giving more connected space for Nature.

The thing I wasn’t expecting though was crossing cultural divides. Witnessing some of the farmers on twitter & in the media who repeat culture war bait about hating both Nature & urbanites in the countryside had coloured my impression of farmers more generally. However, our host Dave was so kind & welcoming to his land & seemed genuinely touched that we had come out to help plant & restore; the jar of homemade honey he gave to each of us was a wonderful reward for a weekend well spent.

Trees add so much to a cityscape or suburb, not only to the countryside.

Just had a look at that Brooker person. Supports the malicious and mainly Jewish “Hope not Hate” cabal, U.S. Democrats, Jess Phillips etc. Oh, and “anti-racism”. Retweets likely State asset and faux-socialist Paul Mason. Seems unclear what, if anything, he knows about the environment (etc).

Carrot cake was introduced in the UK (or reintroduced, having been known from at least the 16thC, probably much earlier) on a large scale in the early 1940s days of food rationing, to use vast stocks of carrots (unrationed) in lieu of sugar. It then became popular, and has remained so. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrot_cake.

“Carpetbagger Kemi” steering the “Conservatives” straight into a crash landing, or just a crash.

LibDems, as usual, the “dustbin” or “cockroach” party, surviving and even thriving by reason of not being Con or Lab label…

Electoral Calculus suggests that those figures might mean Labour largest party (237 MPs), Reform UK second (148 MPs), Conservatives 125, LibDems 78, Greens 6. So Labour could form a weak minority government with LibDem and SNP (etc) support.

On those figures, the Con Party would not even be the official Opposition, thus weakening their shattered credibility further.

For Reform to be the largest party in terms of seats, its vote will have to increase to at least 27%, if not 28% or more. https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html.
